If you've ever wished you could go back to the moment you decided to become a Wattpad writer, it's to do either one of the two:
1. Either to pat yourself on the back for putting yourself out there because your story took off with the wind....
OR
2. To hit yourself over the head with a frying pan because well...you don't know why the fuck you did that to yourself. Because in addition to coping with the usual stuff like writer's block and the like, you also have to deal with the fuckery of gaining reads as quickly as Jupiter goes round the fucking sun.
Well have no fear...
Wait, did you think I was going to bippity boppity boo you into blowing up?
Ha, don't we all wish?
Just my two cents on what it feels like being a new/struggling writer on Wattpad...and a little advice here and there.
We can't all be overnight successes...BUT...
...well, read and find out.

We Never Broke Up (A Second Chance Romance)
"So... what about us?" he asked, and I looked at him, a bit bewildered. "What?" I inquired. "You and me... what are we, Sera? You know how you affect me. You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent. He was right, I couldn't deny the feelings i had for him. They had always been there, but they had intensified with his return. ●●●●●●□□□●●□□□●●● In their final year of high school, Thaddeus and Sera epitomized the dream teen couple, envied by all.

What happens when a girl is trying to stay away from a guy due to his obsession with her and for his safety in order for him not to remember her while he keeps chasing her around trying to find out why he can't seem to stay put and calm if he doesn't see her? 🤭🧐 Let's find out!! ~40,000 word count _All images are from Pinterest.

My boss and her handsome son ( Under Editing)
"Bound by Fate, Broken by Misunderstanding..." In a world where love bloomed in the vibrant corridors of college and was meant to last forever, two hearts-Avi and Aryan-found each other in the most unexpected way. Their love was pure, intense, and all-consuming-a bond that promised forever. But fate had its own plans. A single misunderstanding shattered everything. What once was a sanctuary of love turned into a battlefield of silence and resentment. Words were left unsaid. Trust was broken. And the same hearts that beats for each other... learned to ache in distance. Years passed. Life moved on. But the wounds of yesterday still lingered. Now, destiny brings them face-to-face again-not in the warmth of youthful college days, but in the cold, complex world of corporate life. He's a powerful name; she's a shadow from his past he never truly forgot. She's built walls around her heart; he determined to find answers. Will they confront the ghosts of their past or bury them deeper? Will love find its way through the ruins, or will pride and pain keep them apart forever? This is a story of love, betrayal, second chances, and the silent war between heart and mind. A story where past and present collide. Because sometimes... the hardest person to face is the one who still holds your heart.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
It Burns Within Us | Wildfire Series Book 1
{CURRENTLY UNPUBLISHED} 10/2/25 Edit: this book has been removed from Wattpad, but the characters live on in a published series titled The Wildflower Series, which can be found on Amazon and in bookstores. Alive at Night, Awake at Dawn, Attached at Heart are available now. Already at Risk, which follows Collins' brother Cameron, is coming on October 16th. Thank you so much! When a college freshman with a learning disability and a reputation collides with a straight-A, straight-laced girl in the dorm kitchen one night, he sees the darkest parts of himself reflected in her. But the two of them resist acknowledging their hidden truths, and their forbidden connection, until ignoring it all becomes too perilous. *** Bren meets Madie during his first week at college, and he's certain he should have nothing to do with her. First of all, Madie has a boyfriend. And second of all, Madie's boyfriend radiates a toxicity that Bren only just escaped from growing up. But knowing what he should do doesn't help him at all. Madie might be completely entwined with her abusive boyfriend, but Bren quickly becomes determined to unravel her. But can Bren open Madie's eyes to the truth before it's too late? *** "Don't go back to being treated like you're not real." Madie's lips parted, and I couldn't read the expression on her face. But we were so close now. "You're real, Madie. Feel it." "I feel it," came her breathy reply. When it came to her, I was weak. My legs couldn't hold me anymore, and I slid down. Landing on my knees, I kneeled back against the bottom of the cold door, letting it cool my hot skin. "Good girl." The words were more of a pant; I could barely catch a breath with the way my heart was racing. But I had to tell her, talk to her. "Now, never forget it. Never forget the way you feel right now, Madie." **MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY** This story contains sensitive topics such as abuse, violence, and explicit sexual content.Abgeschlossene Geschichte

Nod my Head - A Writing Guide for Wattpad Writers
Do you find yourself writing he nodded, she shook her head, he shrugged, over and over again? It gets tedious, and doesn't help at all when it comes to pin pointing your character's actual emotions. So I've made a book using notes I've been collecting over a few years to help you chose an alternative way to show that your character is angry, or sad, etc, plus many other writing tips and resources. Doesn't, he blinked at his watch, read better than, he looked at his watch ? Doesn't, he slugged across the wet cement, read better than, he walked down the street slowly. Avoid the white room in your story and replace telling with showing to give your readers a much better experience. **** When Alice storms across the room instead of walks, we know she's angry. We're expecting suspense. We're waiting for the next action. Maybe she'l punch a wall? Shout at her friend? Much better than, Alice walked across the room angrily, which gives your reader nothing to imagine.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
