I really did have doubts about it myself at first, the very reason I didn't pursue it in the first place. But, well...the urge to write and perhaps my natural flair for writing made me do it. In life, one always takes a risk...that is if you really want to get somewhere beyond just dreaming. Right? I do think that for first timers, we start from zero, but if you have it, then you have it in you. So, we learn from mistakes, we search, research, we broaden our selves, ask from those who have earned respect and gone far ahead, those who are kind enough to share what they have learned from their journey in the field of creative writing. But what's important is...you make the first move...write!
I learned from one of the books shared at wattpad, that you don't stop writing. If you feel the itch, the urge to write...then write! Then you edit, go over your work and edit.
Like all things we do, a hobby or otherwise, we do it, we practice it, we harness, refine and fine-tune, until maybe you perfect the craft. If you love to write, why not? Just do it!
Me, I'm new to wattpad, still a struggling writer with 2 books to my name, one completed and the other is ongoing. I've done nothing much yet. I'd love to see your name one day having millions of reads with your first book. I'll wait for it! You can make it girl!
