I don't know if its okay to talk about books that are not Wattpad books. So if Wattpad removes this post-I understand. 
          
          I'm 40 pages from finishing a wonderful book The title is The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.
          
           Isabelle's name means nightingale. I looked up some myths about nightingale and my favorite one is about a nightingale that lived in India and decided to come to Ukraine. It saw how sad the people were and sung to them to make them happy. The memory of the nightingale's singing was enough to make them happy. I also discovered only the male nightingale sings at night and only when he is looking for a mate. 
          
          It is the myth about the nightingale in Ukraine that made me realize the book Nightingale was going to be the memory of something haunting the characters, and also that Isabelle probably wasn't the narrator of the first person chapters that happen in the present. 
          
          Its set in France during World War 2. I think a few themes are: in love you find out who you want to be, in war you find out who you are. This is stated by the narrator on page 1. Another them is you don't know what is possible until you have to do it. 
          
          There are characters who say they are just following orders and compartmentalize their roles. Captain Beck, the German officer that stays in Vaine's house is one such character. 
          
          Vaine fails a moral test when she provides Captain Beck with names, but she slowly and quietly takes rebels against the German's that have invaded France: she helps hide her friend Rachel and takes Rachel's son to raise as her own in order to protect him after Rachel is taken away. 
          
          The book has some passages that  can make the reader cry. 
          
          The descriptions were so good I could almost picture the scenes. Such a good book

Flood. Snow. Fire. 
          I've seen those 3 events where I am in the past week

Hiiiiii :3
          
           So, how are you doing today?
          
           Good? Bad? Soso?
          
           I mean, it’s totally fine if you’re somewhere in between—life’s like that sometimes. 
          
          But the real important question is: did you eat yet? Drink anything? (Water, please! Trust me, it's the best choice.) 
          
          And, did you get enough sleep? 
          
          If not, maybe it’s time for a nap, or a coffee, or just... some deep breathing. 
          
          Whatever works! ^^
          
          Anyway, I hope you’re having a wonderful day, and hey, if you need anything or just feel like talking about whatever random thoughts are floating around in your head, don’t feel shy to reach out!

I was reading a book about writing mysteries that has articles by mystery writers. 
          
          I don't know if its okay to mention books that are not Wattpad books, but in my humble opinion, this book has some good writing advice. 
          
          The title is Writing Mysteries edited by Sue Grafton. 
          
          I'm only on page 105. 
          
          Here are some pieces of advice that I liked and plan to use. 
          
          1. Write a biography of your characters/start with the villain's reasons. I had been wanting to write a story based on haunted place that I read about in Mysteries of Space, Time & Mind. 
          
          I'm going to start with a farmhouse/or castle people in the story reportedly see. This is based on a farmhouse supposedly seen in a place called Bachelor Grove Cemetery. The farmhouse supposedly gets further away the closer people get to it, then disappears completely.  
          
          I'm going to write of a few other paranormal incidents in the ring of woods, but they may not even end up in the final version of the story. 
          
          I also want to write a short mystery story and submit it to magazine. The magazines are very competitive, and probably won't get accepted But you have to keep writing and submitting. Keep working.

I lost 3 more followers since I've off. 
          That's just the way it is. I no longer wonder why they unfollow me or try to find out who so I can unfollow them. 
          
          I am sorry I haven't been here so much, but that's just the way it is sometimes. When I am here, I will support as many of your stories as I can. 
          
          There are profiles that stand out to me and I enjoyI  seeing their comments. I do understand ultimately you have to look at Wattpad like a business. 
          
          I wish everyone-including those that unfollow me-all the best in whatever they do. 
          
          I will be here when I can. I will read for read when I can and am prepared to give a story the proper reading it deserves. I think a proper read will take days and not just the hours I was giving read for reads when I use to do them. 
          
           I meet so many talented writers here. Nothing but good thoughts for everyone here. No bitterness because someone unfollows me.

Yay! More votes on "Her Terrifying Love."

I lost a following. 
          I know I should have been here more. I try to support all of you all as much as I can when I am here. 
          
          If someone unfollowed me because they didn't think I'm supporting them enough-I'm sorry. But its also possible they only followed me long enough to get me to follow them. 
          
          I will follow everyone back as soon as I see the notification. I understand unfollowing me because I won't do read for reads. I will vote on your story and often I put it on my public reading list. I also allow followers to leave links to their stories on my profile. 
          
          But its the other's choice to unfollow me. 
          
          I would like to be on Wattpad 24 hours a day. I would love to read everyone's story. I'm so sorry I can't read do read for reads right now. I have met so many talented writers. I read so many good stories when I was doing read for reads. 
          
          I wish everyone-including those that unfollow me the best luck with their stories. 
          
          I'm sorry to say I'm going to have unfollow people that unfollow me.
