Thank you for following me. I hope you like my stories.

If only everyone thought and commented like you my friend, then wattpad would be a far more rewarding experience and we would all improve greatly in our writing skills and craft.

hey ff back please

I so agree about the comments! It is odd when you have 2000 reads and 10 comments...then you have no idea if these people thought what you wrote was brilliant or should meet Mr Trash Can. Comments do help so very much, I wish more people would take the time to drop a few words than just tossing a vote and leaving it at that. I value comments more than votes. :)

OK my rant isn't over.  Just one more thing I want agree with you on .  Be encouraging with eachother!  We all want to get better, not quit because of trolling.  OK that's it.

I couldn't agree more with you about people leaving comments.  I really think some people on this site don't understand that!  Who cares if your story has a million reads and votes if you got them all by just exchanging or whatever.  It's not like some publisher is going to come along and give you a fortune for it's rights.  Just the opposite actually.  What this site is good for is like you said constructive crit on your work so you can become a better writer.  Even leaving a short comment on what you liked or disliked is fine.  /rant

I totally agree with you and @Jellybean95, when people vote it make me happy, people like it. But when, or if, they don't comment and tell me what part, paragraph, they like. It leaves me cluless as to what they voted for.

@Jellybean95 Hey. I agree and I think people on here are getting better at leaving comments. It's hard to change people's mindset, but I think the more we comment on other writers work, the more writers will get into the practice of commenting and encouraging each other. :)

I like your bio, especially the part about the comments. I wish everyone had that mindset!

I got a dm from you on twitter. I followed you!
