Hello everyone,
So as you may if seen I have removed WIMY due to a copyright claim. Copyrighting is a serious issue and I never thought this would happen. Becca is a well established, successful author and I love her books so much and respect her as well. I am very new to this world of writing and I don’t have any friends who know I do this or are in the wattpad community so I wasn’t sure if wattpad would contact me and remove the whole book or unpublish it myself. I got overwhelmed and handled this poorly and I feel disappointed in myself.
I haven’t unpublished it because I believe you keep reads, comments and votes and I do NOT want any credit for anybody else’s original idea or anything I didn’t come up with. The book was close to 10,000 reads which I never could have imagined when I started this journey but as I said I want credit for my original work so I have completely removed my book. I was always planning on doing a rewrite and edit because I feel like I have found my writing style now and the first ten or so chapters don’t reflect that or the characters I’ve fleshed out and come to know.
Similar scenes and dialogue to one of Becca’s books ‘consider me’ was what was filed and I feel extremely regretful and remorseful that this has happened.

Letting go of writing would be difficult and hard as it has provided me with lots of proud and happy moments especially when a reader has messaged me saying they connect with the characters and their fears and feelings. But I’m just trying to figure out what’s best at the moment.
If I do upload it again I’ll probably do it all at once or one a day. The plot and most things will remain the same. Hopefully the grammar and punctuation is better and I have the book plotted but I need to and want to remove any scenes because I was so proud of this book and my writing but I want comments, votes and reads for my own work, not taking credit for anybody else’s.
I don’t know if I’ll upload it from a new wattpad account or this one. I’m just scared a lot of hate is going to occur and I want this to be a positive and safe space for everybody. I will announce that though on here when and if that happens.
Thank you for taking the time to read.

I do apologise for any stress or hurt I have caused Becca. She did reach out to me personally first which I really appreciate.
I’m really sad this has happened and have taken a couple of days for my own mental health. I get panic attacks very easily and I wanted to focus on having that handled. I have also deleted my Instagram and other forms of social media.
When I Met You is incredibly important to me and the characters and their story makes me feel very vulnerable and scared to share it. I want to thank everyone who has supported and connected with the book as well. I want to publish it again after I do rewrites and edits but I don’t want any hate or negativity for it either. I might rewrite and finish it offline because it feels really sad to me not to finish my characters stories. I had five other books planned and I don’t know what to do really now.
Writing has been a very important outlet for me the past couple of months and having that taken away feels like shit but I never want this to happen again which is my own fault to begin with.⬇️⬇️
