《Tippy's Notebook》What's Next for me
Advertisement
Hey humans,
It's past midnight and I'm in a mood to talk and let you guys in on some of the chaos going on in my head right now.
At least with writing, there's no chaos in personal life besides the fact that I'm broke.
Anywho!
I've been on Wattpad now for like 3 years and writing for like 2.
I'm honestly not sure how I started writing these books, I never dreamt of being a writer or anything like that.
Tbh I hated English Lang for most of my education, so I never ever imagined I'd do this shit for fun. Lol.
But anyway, I started writing and people started reading and now fuck, we have a family of sorts.
Alpha Mates just blew the fuck up and I never saw it coming. I literally started writing that for myself, the summer after my high school exams when I was waiting to see if I could to boarding school. I started writing it because I was bored and read all the good shit on Wattpad.
So I was like - Fuck it! I'll make something that I'd like to read! 🤪
The only reason I even shared it was because I was sharing all the random stuff I used to write for fun so I didn't think much about it.
But posting the first chapter of Alpha Mates was probably one of the best moves of my life.
I remember when I was telling my parents I'm writing on this app and I have over 100 views and they were like;
Dad - sure...
Mom - that's great.
Then it was over 1000 and they were like:
Dad: uhuh....
Mom: Wow. Good job!
Then it was 10k lol and my dad actually hit breaks in the car and we almost crashed.
Then it kept growing and it touched 1Mil my entire family was like - LET'S PUBLISH!!!

The only reason I haven't taken them up on that offer is because I'm 100% sure that they'd faint if they read what I wrote.
But anyway, things have seriously escalated beyond what I ever imagined for myself.
I've written a total of 7 books (Linked may you rest in pieces) and I like to think that I've only gotten better with my writing since.
It's no longer just for fun, I dive into the task of sharing my character's emotions and stories in the best way I possibly can.
They are people to me and I'm their messenger as weird as that sounds.
I love writing and I hope I never stop.
But over the past few months, many organizations have reached out to get me to move from Wattpad.
It shocked me tbh, cause I never thought of getting money from these books. I like writing for you guys and seeing how you guys react and take things in, so it all came as a surprise that I could do that and get money.
So I started looking into my options - I've literally been pondering over Inkitt for like over a year now looool. I'm actually ridiculous.
The only reason I've not shared my work with the site is because they don't have the option for readers to comment on each paragraph like Wattpad does.
I fuck you not, that is the only reason.
It may seem stupid to others but I literally live for you guys comments. I care more about comments than votes or money and I can't give it up.
I literally can't, it scares me to do it.
And I know there deal is to post a week earlier and I can still put it on wattpad after but it won't be fresh reactions! I might miss something and I hate that!!

God I hate it so much. Thinking about it makes me gag 😂😂
Anyway, so looking into other options nothing stood out and now I'm like kinda salty when I look around at other writers and see them making their coin when I can barely afford the face masks I'm buying constantly.
If you don't know lush, think Bath and Body works, Body Shop etc.
So like a wonderful reader reached out to me one day and said, "HEY TIPPY! HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF PATREON!!!!"
I had not.
But I've looked into it and ya know what, I think it can work for me.
I've decided to post extras on all characters I have ever written about on my Patreon profile which I will be sharing and uploading by the end of the year (gotta get everything perfect first).
These extras would be decided by you all, I'll leave a page open for any suggestions or wanted scenes to be posted and then I'll have a vote for the three you want for that month.
Three Extras a month.
It will be like the Hagen's date extra and The Family Prank War, except I wont leave you guys hanging on part 2 cause you'd get the whole thing as one of the extras for the month.
Haha sorry about that btw, I keep forgetting to upload a new chapter for it. I promise I'm not an asshole by choice.
And what will the price be for these extras you may ask? Well I'm still deciding but so far I'm thinking -
1 extra - $1
3 extras - $2
But ya know what, I'll like to hear your feedback on this idea first.
Some of you guys may be like - TIPPY PEOPLE CHARGE $7 FOR THAT. STEP YOUR PUSSY UP!
Others of you may be like - .....can you do 20 cents?
Idk.
The extras will not be shared anywhere else sadly, so I'm sorry if you can't afford those options.
I hope that if you can, that you do support. I'd like to make writing into a part of my career one day and this is like my first attempt to do so - so please, if you're interested, step on it when it drops.
I sound like I'm dropping a mixtape. Lmdao.
Lmdao = Laugh my dick ass off - don't ask me why I created that
I have other thoughts for things I can put on Patreon, such as books themselves. But it's too early to think about that and I can see the riot forming now if I put Peter's book there.
But I'm not a complete dickhead so I wouldn't do that.
All in all, the point of this entire rant is that Tippy wants to try earning something from this writing thing she loves so much.
Extras will be put on Patreon instead of here, Family Prank War being the last one uploaded here.
I have ideas already for extras such as - Chapter 57 in Aiden's P.O.V🙃
Anyways, please share your honests thoughts on all. I care about you guys at the end of the day and if I can keep writing in my life, then I really want to.
If you already know you'd be down to support by subscribing to my future Patron account, please say so.
Thanks for listening or should I say reading. I love you all sooooo much, honestly couldn't imagine my life without Wattpad now. Like I love all my readers and I hope I can keep you forever.
Haha that sounds creepy.
I'm rambling now
Bye.
