I was 15 years old when I first started reading on Wattpad, and 17 when I started writing books. My book called Loving Jason is seen as my biggest accomplishment on Wattpad. I used to read all these romance books and I would get butterflies in my stomach every time, just imaging what it would be like to have someone love me the same way a male protagonist would love a female protagonist. I wrote a romance to be indulged into a fictional world, because my real life was filled with heartbreak and disappointment
2 ?
I struggled with writers block, because I was young and impulsive when I started Loving Jason so there wasn't much planning. I also struggled to properly convey character development, which now I find very easy. In the end, I completed it and was very proud of myself. I also battled with confidence in my writing.

I enjoyed writing meaningful scenes, like confessions of love and family moments. It meant a lot to me to see my character finally receive love after she's been through so much. Writing climax scenes were also very fulfilling
I received a lot of love and encouragement from readers, which I did not expect. There were a few readers who would put me down. One of them even directly insulted my book over private message once. But I didn't let it put me down because there was so much more readers who were fans.
5 ?
Loving Jason is the first book to a series of two novels. The second novel was just recently published on Wattpad.

My story also involve the life of gangsters, which was something common where I live. The social representations of gangsters are perceived wrongly, and I wanted to show readers' that it wasn't all about crime and breaking the law, but youth born into that life should receive pity instead of hatred. Also, it shows that even through tough times, one can rise up like a phoenix if they persist and don't let societies harsh judgements put them down, because they are defined by there intentions and not people

Remember to always plan thoroughly. Decide how much chapters you want, decide the information and personality of your characters and stay persistent with that. Do not let your chapters have less than 3000 words because it would not have a lot of content and quality to be an enjoyable chapter. Remember to edit and proofread not only once, but twice before you publish your part. If you aren't good at editing, get someone else to do it. Without planning, you will run into writer's block and there will be many plot holes.

Daisy's past was not based on me, but her character was heavily based on my personality. She would let people walk all over her, she wouldn't argue when someone starts an arguments with her, she's nervous around people she doesn't know, and she's completely socially awkward. Social anxiety was something I've dealt with my whole life, but when I started university it started to get better. Same as Daisy, her awkwardness and anxiety gets better after she meets Jason. Her appearance is also relatively based on me. Daisy have self-esteem issues just like I do. Like I said, I was in a bad space when I started this book. I wanted to write something sort of a fairytale for myself.

I think that if my story gets ranked in a popular tag, it will bring in new readers, and also the fact that it's a completed book. Most readers only want to read completed work. I may also get new readers if I follow people and engage with them. But I simply don't have the time, with university and all.
10
I currently have two drafts in my create page, one with the genre action and a romance- new adult one. Since I'm transitioning into adulthood I would like to write a story and put some of my ideas and experiences into it. It depends how my life turns out, whether I want to publish those or not. I have three ongoing stories as of now, and I already don't have time to regularly update those
