Can I just scream out loud?
I don't know about you, but I believe the best kind of support is gotten when you're not looking for it.
At the beginning of this month, I decided to try writing again. Even better, for Wattpad. It had been long, so long. I had tried writing my books but ultimately failed.
This time was going to be different.
I swore to myself, every day and night, as I planned it. It was going to be different. As a writer, I hate plotting, I understand how it has helped, but it's something I've struggled with dozens of times. I'll try plotting and halfway through dislike the book.
So, I started. By creating a book cover.
Had I written a single line?
No.
I just wanted to create book covers, and I made one that resonated with me. WE'RE DATING, RIGHT?
I could see it. It was going to be perfect.
NEWS FLASH: It wasn't.
I fell out of love, and then I started all over again. There were so many title changes.
PUCK IT OFF
PUCK OFF
NO RISK IT, NO BISCUIT, and many others.
But I persevered.
And yet, still no reads. Just my votes.
Then I saw this calling for a group of Wattpaders to get together and read each other's books. Motivate us.
Out of the blue, I clicked on it, and that brought me to her: https://www.wattpad.com/user/ExoShaneey
She's a fantastic person, and I think if you haven't read her book, especially if you like fantasy, you should try it out.

Now to get back to school work.
