Okay, the first story I ever wrote on this website called Wattpad was a story written by a hopeless 10 year old. She had the mind of a writer but the jumbled words of a fifth grader. In short, she sucked. Her first book (no longer up on Wattpad out of utter disgust) had about 560 reads after about 10 or so months. She was infinitely proud of herself and thought she could write. Oh, how I wished I could punch her in the face and crush all her dreams. But maybe I shouldn't do that. Because, four years later, she's sitting here, writing this and wondering what the hell happened in those four years for her to have gotten so far. She still hates her writing and she still think it utter shit but guess what? she's not completely embarrassed by it. She sees room for improvement, definitely, but she can also pride herself in the 15k reads, the lovely and overly supportive comments. Finally, her goal doesn't seem all that hopeless. Her dreams don't look all that dreary. Maybe, somewhere, someday, it might come true. And all that is thanks to those who took the time to read her books, comment on them, and go the extra mile. Thank you, whoever is currently reading this. So, so much.
