It'll soon be the one-year anniversary of first publishing/drafting one of my stories, The Princess's Rebellion. I had debated starting it for so long back then due to some insecurities I had of actually writing and publishing something I came up with.
Right off the bat, I was nervous because I didn't think I had what it took to create something people all around the world could read and enjoy. I spent way more time than needed on a 359-word prologue, trying to perfect the words and flow of the writing. I honestly didn't have much confidence in the pieces I wrote, but soon grew to love writing.
The first few reads I received made me feel on top of the world, and that along with the support of my friends and family that read a few excerpts and the few readers online that commented their opinions and encouragement gave me the drive to keep going. Each chapter gave me more certainty that I had found what I love, and that this is what I want to keep doing.
Call it destiny or luck, this platform has brought out a new me that I couldn't have found anywhere else. Writing is apart of my life now, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I have found something I believe I'm good at, and I will continue to enhance my abilities to get better at it as well.
Getting to this point, with 1k those votes and comments. Thank you to my family and friends that have helped me see that I can do anything I can put my mind to. I'm looking forward to the years to come on Wattpad as I grow and expand my skills, and I hope everyone can enjoy what I have to give and enjoy their own awesome works as well. Much love to everyone reading this, no matter where you are, and I hope you all have a lovely day<3
Peace!
