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

Legacy of Darkness: Book 1 - Darkness Ascendant
Darth Nox, dark lord of the Sith and exalted member of the Sith Empire's Dark Council, is unsatisfied.

But even as he reshapes the galaxy in pursuit of his ultimate goal, his many enemies draw ever closer to the truth. The Jedi, the Sith, the Emperor, even death itself stalk his every waking moment, and his sleep is dominated by prophetic nightmares that threaten him with the wrath of the Force. Over it all lurks a mysterious, eldritch darkness whose true nature is something beyond the understanding of mortal beings, a truth that may well drive Nox inextricably into the depths of madness.

Daughters of the Void
Emily is a high school student. Too tall and developed for her age. Her will has been broken, so now, she is fearful and insecure. But that, doesn't explain why those around her bully and despise her. Perhaps... it is related to the dark and deep secret that she has inexplicably forgotten? What made her forget it? The strange being, with whom Emily once made a pact, intends to find out what has happened. To do so, will take her to a world terribly different from this one. Why does it take her to another world? Why did Emily forget what makes her different? Why the hell, all of a sudden, can Emily see three floating panels in the middle of the darkness? What is this? A video game with a lush green-eyed redhead as the main character? Daughters of the Void is a story told from multiple points of view, which occur in parallel. As if they were several series in one, where each protagonist advances at their own pace. At first, the story of each character will advance slowly, so I ask you to be patient. Soon, you will discover a story of extreme survival in a medieval fantasy world. A story, a bit dark, that can also be a bit comical at certain moments. But above all, it can be harsh and cruel to its protagonists. I’ve introduced LitRPG elements in a very soft and almost non-existent way at the beginning of the story. As the story progresses, they will become more and more abundant, depending on the protagonist. Emily is the main and first protagonist of "Daughters of the Void". After her; Dianna, Tanya and others. Above all, I’m looking for your immersion, so I will make you aware of most of the thoughts of the protagonists. I also want the reader to feel some uncertainty, putting yourselves in the shoes of some girls who can't find what they lack. I look for realism, but also to surprise myself. Around chapter 25 there is an awakening of the protagonists. Moment in which they will begin to behave as they really want to be. Unrivaled adventurers. Heroines of legend. The secondary protagonists were created to cover some deficiencies that I noticed that the series had when it was only Emily, so their chapters will be more sporadic. Tags and warnings give me creative freedom. This is the first story I've written, although they are not my first drawings. Be kind with your reviews. I know everything can be improved. Also, English is not my native language, neither is my brother's. He’s the one who translates the story. Constructive feedback is always welcome. We learn day by day. Everything helps us to improve the quality of this humble project. Let us know what you think.

As the young king sets out to uncover the reasons for this, he stumbles across a menace that goes far beyond a simple trade agreement. - This is my first published story. I am not a native English speaker and this tale is also a means to improve my usage of the English language. All feedback (be it grammar, spelling, plotholes or wording etc.) is greatly appreciated. The draft for the first arc has been completed, the fair copy is in the works and will gradually be published here.
