Since I’m not a creator anymore, does wattpad except queries for their originals from anyone, or whatever they call the genres they are actively looking for? I know one of those genres is speculative fiction. Do you have to be creator to submit queries? Like for stories that we have that are offline and not on Wattpad? Just wondering. Thanks to anyone who answers. 

Hello Wattpadders! How is everyone? Hope all is well:) I wanted to declare 2024 as a hugely successful writing year for me. I completed a fanfiction short story, a novella during last year’s ONC, and an offline sci-fi novel of 86.5k words! That’s a total of more than 133k words last year! Compare that to 2023’s five different novels that I didn’t finish because I lost interest. 
          
          I figured out what my problem was. I’m highly influenced by what I read. I read a mystery novel and I want to write one. I read an apocalyptic novel and I want to write one. I read a novel with heavy romance and I start thinking I can write a romance. Read a werewolf novel, and guess what? You guessed it. 
          
          So now I read the genre I’m writing to stay motivated to finish. My most recent novel is a YA space sci-fi story, so that’s the genre I read. I’m so proud of myself for writing an 86.5k word novel last year, all in one POV. That, I had never done before. And I did it. Now I’m editing it and one day I’ll query it. Wish me luck:)

How’s the Wattpad community doing? Are you deep into writing your stories? Read any good books lately? Hope everyone is doing well. I’m just glad it’s Friday:)

I'm quite disheartened that you and your genres aren't being promoted on wattpad. And it's very obvious that wattpad is heavily saturated on romance genre. Also I've never seen covers like yours too on the app. Most I've seen always have somewhat an attractive human face on them and unsavoury "romance" titles. 
          
          Recently, wattpad put hidden ads in the notifications on the phone app. No one else seems to notice it either. When i email complains, they blatantly ignored me. Eventually I gave up.
          
          Sorry for the rambling but I do wish you'll get better opportunities in the future. I absolutely love the way you describe atmospheres and environments. May your creative mind thrives.
          
          Best wishes, always.
          
          p.s. I'm a silent reader most of the time. I make no sounds but I'm there reading.

          Awesome! And you're welcome!

A couple of writers recommended Inkspired to me as an alternative to Wattpad, so I thought I’d try it out. I think the link below should take you to my profile page on Inkspired. I published chapter one of Small Town Hero over there to see how it does. If you’re on Inkspired, given me a follow and I’ll follow you back:)

I’m stump why this story didn’t catch more reads on Wattpad. I’m not sure anyone has read it all the way to the end. Maybe so, I just can’t remember. If you did read it all the way through, do you think it would do better on Amazon? Just wondering. Sometimes when a writer thoroughly enjoys writing a story they (I) think it means it’s the best story they’ve written. I’m biased. So my view of it could be off. Thanks for any input.

Hello Sir, 
          Remember when you told me that I had to update my Phone app inorder to get "the old W' trademark back. Well, I just that and got the orange W sign back. LOL. Bye bye Strawberry/Carrot mark ... it was good while it lasted. Hah!
          I updated my phone app because it wasn't updating a friend's story which is odd, since his 2nd chapter was loading on my computer's screen. 
          I do recall that the Wattpad algorithms or whatever its called on both the phone app and on computer do not coincide with each other for some reason.
