Good to hear! I'm glad you'll be updating! I understand being sick like that. I had the flu a little over a week ago, and of course, accomplished nothing during that time. I hope you enjoy it once you're able though!
As for your question, I've had My story posted for about two months now, but I feel like maybe I just lucked out with the algorithms of Wattpad. :) I was fortunate to be included on rising lists and hot lists, which has helped tremendously. I also reach out to a lot of users too, and I'm blessed that so many of them have stuck with my story! I'd be happy to share some of the tricks I've learned if you pm me :) there's not a ton, but the few things I've learned have seemed to help.
