The talent on here truly amazes me each and everyday.It takes a lot of work to write a story. It takes even more courage to introduce your creavity to the world because you are not sure how people will respond to it.
As a writer you have to deal with the negative and positive comments. The world of a writer can sometimes be tough. I just want to salute all the writers on here whether you do it for fun or because you truly love it. I salute you. 

If you do it because you truly love it... Don't stop writing! Don't stop believing in yourself! Always remember:  "creavity knows no distance" -QuilaJ

Memoirs of A Healer/Clinical Social Worker: Autobiography of Bruce Whealton by BruceWhealton
82 parts Complete Mature
A healer. A survivor. A victim of profound injustice. How does someone who has dedicated their life to helping others find the strength to heal themselves after losing everything? In December 2019, I woke up in a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt. A simple conversation with another patient sparked a shift within me-a glimmer of clarity that would change the course of my life. But how did I end up there? What devastation could drive a loving spouse, a therapist, and a lifelong survivor to the edge of despair? This book unravels the journey that led me to that breaking point and how I found the strength to keep living. My story is one of triumph and tragedy-of overcoming paralyzing shyness and social anxiety to become a psychotherapist, only to have my life shattered by unimaginable injustice. Between 2000 and 2006, I lost everything I had built: my home, my career, my community, and the love that once gave my life meaning. The destruction was sudden, like a meteor crashing down, and the aftermath left me in ruins. Worse still, the world condemned me as a villain when I was only ever a victim. But this is not just a story of loss. It is a story of survival, of how I faced the darkness and chose to keep living. It is a testament to how love, hope, and the power of connection can guide us through even the longest night. Through this memoir, I share not only my pain but also my triumphs-the moments of joy, love, and meaning that kept me fighting for life. I write this book for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or unjustly condemned. I write it to show that healing is possible, that our stories matter, and that no matter how broken we feel, there is always a path forward. This is my story. But it is also a story of hope-for you, for me, and for anyone who has ever longed for justice, healing, and love.

If you like my stories I'd be forever grateful if you can comment on them with your thoughts. Nothing brings me greater pleasure than reading the comments my stories get. It makes me happy and gives me the motivation to keep on writing and produce more stories for you all to enjoy. Your support through your comments is my strength to keep on going. I thrive on seeing the wonderful comments my stories get and they always brighten a rather dreary day. Please also understand that I am an inexperienced writer. I never took lessons or even did well in school. I never did college either. I self taught myself to write and I know I still need a lot of work but I'm happy with were I am at now and don't want to stress over it. It was a lot of hard work, tears and energy to get where I am now and I many times I wanted to give up and even now I still have times where I feel like I'm a failure of a writer and just want to stop. I know I'll never write like those talented writers or be able to paint a picture with my words but I am doing the best with what I can do and I put all my energy and feelings into my stories. You wouldn't believe the amount of times I've lost sleep or spent days crying over my writing and even started to hate it and yet I'm still here... I'm a writer who needs encouragement and support. That's why I value comments on my stories so much. It helps build my confidence and picks me up so I can keep on going.
The Standouts - A Critique Contest by PAULAPDX (Summer 2019 Edition) by paulapdx

🛑 - CLOSED until 2021. ***If you're interested in my critiques, you might want to check out my weekly newsletter for opportunities to get a personalized critique. https://paula.substack.com/p/coming-soon Does your work stand out in an overly-crowded landscape? Does your story & writing shine as far as: ★ - Concept ★ - Voice ★ - Storytelling The Standouts is a fun, but hopefully helpful contest that can give you a sense of whether your story resonates with someone who's got some experience under her belt. Great! But who are you to judge? Fair question. This is not to humble-brag, but I've been critiquing and have worked with story development for quite some time, and I've picked up a lot along the way. ☙ - As an Ambassador, I work on content projects. ☙ - If you look at my profile, you'll see everything I've published so far has managed to standout in one way or another, whether by leading me to become a Wattpad Star; or by winning a Watty (twice!); or by being picked as a Top 10 in major Wattpad contests (twice!); or being featured. All I'm saying is I'm no slouch. I'm not brilliant either. But I've got some experience around what can catch an agent, editor, or judge's eye, and I'd like to share that with the community. ☙ - In another lifetime, I used to work for HBO in Development and at ICM (the talent agency) in their writers' department which means I understand how professionals quickly gauge whether or not they'll take a closer look at a work and/or make an offer. This kind of insight can be helpful if you're planning to submit your work or even just want to stand out more here on Wattpad. ☙ - I used to provide critiques for three writers, all of them traditionally published. They seemed to value my insight. Read the RULES, LOGISTICS & PRIZES chapter for guidelines. All entries get a brief assessment of their first chapter, with winners getting more extensive critiques. Sound interesting? Give it a go! 😊
