"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

They were both drowning in it, the pressure, the noise, the expectations. But neither of them could see how they might save each other. Not yet. Not when it was easier to pretend everything was fine. But sometimes, when the world was quiet enough, you could feel the pull of something real, something that might make it all worth it. Maya Thompson stood at the corner of Queen Street, hands shoved deep into her pockets, staring at the cracked pavement beneath her feet like it held the answers to the questions she couldn't even form in her head. The world was moving around her, but she was stuck. School, friends, the endless cycle of work and pressure, none of it felt like it fit anymore. It was too loud, too bright, too much. And then there was him, Joon -quiet, with an edge of annoyance that seemed to sit heavy in the air whenever he was around. He didn't speak much, but that wasn't what made him stand out. It was the way he carried the weight of everything in the way he looked at the world. It was like he was tired of pretending. Vote and comment please!

Instead, it only got more complicated. Between figuring out my career, paying off debt, building a future, and trying to understand love, I realized something terrifying: No one actually has life figured out. So I started writing letters.

I've been drawn to writing since childhood. It's the only serious dream I've ever had. And yet, if you'd asked me about my writing ambitions a few years back, I probably would have told you I'd missed my best shot at ever completing a manuscript draft. Boy, was I wrong. In 2014, I embraced writing on my phone with Wattpad and upended everything about my writing process. (And I do mean everything.) This essay collection documents my observations and experiences with the platform. If Wattpad's also changed how you write or brought new experiences into your writing life, I'd love to hear about it in the comments.
