I started writing when I was about 14 or 15 lol I don’t remember but I remember reading about magcon, Austin Mahone, one direction, (which I really didn’t like the boyband but I was still interested), and imagines about magcon, Austin Mahone, and one direction. I was like "You know what I want to write my own fan fiction too cause it looks fun." So that’s what I did. I wrote my own fan fiction.
I was inspired when I saw everyone else write books and as I progressed over the years, I came to realize that I had a gift of writing. Still, I don’t think my writing is all that good but I just knew I had something I was very proud of and could escape the reality into reading and writing. I felt like I truly belong in the Wattpad community because a lot people didn’t get me back then. I was so happy to gain a lot of friends up here and I remember getting a lot of reads. It made me happy to even see people reading my book. But my writing was horrible and cringy.
Basically it’s all about being able to find a genre you really like and being able to find a twist with what you want to put on it. Always MAKE THE PLOT COME ALIVE!! It intrigues readers when you have a plot that makes them crave more.
I really hope that answers your question lol!
