@emmaeverafter
i don't know if anyone is still active on my acc, but hi!!
if you want to check out my work, i now have SIX books published through amazon which you can read as paperbacks or ebooks <3
if nottt, you can still keep up with me on instagram and tiktok at @emmasmithbooks!
@emmaeverafter Wattpad is basically dead at this point after they got rid of messages and communities
HEY
You might have guessed, but this is the first year in four or five that I haven't entered my books into the Wattys.
Maybe I could've entered Martha again, or Lukewarm, I don't know. But now that my self-publishing is picking up and I'm looking at my backlog again to see what I want to share next, it just didn't seem like a smart option. Over the next year, I'm not sure if I'll want ANY of my books online for free, especially given Wasted's release this November and some of my short stories mayyybe coming out too.
Good luck to everyone who has entered, because I'm so sure you'll smash it. I still adore the community of writers on Wattpad and get so mad when people dis the site, because there's so much talent and creativity on here waiting to be discovered.

@emmaeverafter It's understandable, good luck on self-publishing more of your other works, both existing and in the works! I know you'll continue to gain more new audiences and readers alike and profit too through via self-publishing. You're already doing well with currently Guided and Midnight Sherbet published and next Dead Fine !! All the best on whatever you do and for your books, to which I hope one day I can own as physical copies <3
What days would you guys prefer me to upload on?
Going forward, I want to update Eden and Water Baby twice a week... and I think I'll remember better if I have a schedule to stick to!

We're only 200 reads away from 40k !! if you're currently reading 'Martha' or haven't yet tried it, every single read is so appreciated <3

You can now find the introductions to my two summer projects published here on Wattpad... do go and leave a comment or two, and add to your library so you don't miss any updates! I'm very excited <3
Water Baby, a story of teen pregnancy, set at the beach...
and Eden, a story of a boarding school filled with lies...

Who wants me to start uploading chapters of a new book...?
It's up to your guys, so what would you rather see:
Eden, my mystery set in a boarding house for teens from the foster system.
or Water Baby, a story of teen pregnancy, set by the sea.

@Ayirnus aw thank you!! i've written 20k of Eden but i'm debating starting Water Baby too!
@emmaeverafter I absolutely love the sound of both but tbh I think I'm leading forward to Eden since I'm digging more into mysteries these days but whichever you end you starting first I don't mind!
@emmaeverafter Ohhh, I was hoping it would be that. Sad to say, I’m not really into YA contemporary novels, because my brain just can’t get engaged with contemporary novels. I prefer speculative novels, you see, including sci-fi and fantasy.
Finally, the epilogue to 'Lukewarm' is out. If you want to check out a teen "romance" which highlights the reality of a teacher/student relationship in gritty detail, go check it out now, because it's officially complete!
Knowing Poppy's ending is kind of bittersweet, because I grew so attached to that group of girls. Maybe you'll be seeing more of Mira, Holly, Logan, Margot and the others soon... who knows.
Thank you to everyone who stuck by this book, and loved it till the very end. I'm so grateful.

@emmaeverafter congratulations on finishing Lukewarm! I'll binge it later afterwards when I can, definitely do know it's going to be a wild ride of a journey heh :)
I am a novice like most people on here but what I seem to struggle with most is keeping a regular chapter update streaks on any of my books.
Any piece of advice?
@SryDdMi when i first started out, i'd give myself weekly goals and stay up all night trying to hit each target. treat it like you have to write, and hold yourself accountable of you don't!
What kind of books would you like to see from me?
If you're new here or followed because of Martha, hi! I write a lot, but I've taken a break from uploading because life is hectic. If you're a reader of mine... what kind of stories do you want to see from me?
