Hello friends!

I discovered that August 13 is my Wattpad bday (the day of the year I joined), so I'm a bit late. But this means I have officially been on Wattpad for a year now!

Sooooo much has changed since I first joined- name changes, updates on the app, new books, new friends, new followers, following new people... It has been a great year for me. Wattpad has put so much more into my life, in a good way! I always thought that when I would write a story for school, it would never be read, or just a few times. Now, I can put all of those stories and more on here for anyone to read, and hopefully people would enjoy them and want to read them! Wattpad has been a place for me to just relax and take a break from the real world for a little while- a safe haven to enjoy quietly. The only thing is I get too into the world of Wattpad and am not able to leave! But I love it. :)

Hmmm, 62 followers? Not bad, really! I think it's pretty good for a years worth of work and stories. But 11.97k views on AWP?! Nice! Thanks so much, guys! Everyone, from the people who have only viewed one or two chapters to the people who have followed me from beginning to now deserves a shoutout! Sadly I can't do you all because I don't know who the majority of you are, but thanks again to you all! My other stories are doing pretty well, too, including Left Flailing (584 views), And Everything Else (This one, with 530 views, more now that you have viewed this chap. Haha! My plan worked! >:D), and How to Get Free Stuff (173 views). I still hope to write many more books in the next years. I have too many ideas written down -_- Maybe I should start an ideas book?

I also would like to thank a few special people that I have gotten to be friends with over the year :) They have made my Wattpad experience so much more enjoyable.

WitchyScarlet - First of all, this is the person who INTRODUCED me to Wattpad, so I should give a big thanks to her! We were at her house, and she told to download this app on my phone. I was kind of hesitant at first, but she encouraged me to do it saying that I would love it. Now here I am, a year later! Thank you so much for sticking with me and being my first follower! XD

starsplash11 and GlowingCreeper1394 - Goosick forever! These are some of my good buddies IRL, who sadly moved away :'( I'm glad we can still talk over Wattpad, and enjoy each others' books and PMs. :)

NightmareAtBay - Yes, you! This guy has been so nice to me and supportive that he deserves so much more. He's a good song writer too. Seriously, everyone here should see his song book! You are one of a great kind, Armani. :)

NillaWaferTopHatTime - This girl is funny, and she is often posting something crazily amusing on her randomness book. She brightens my day by sharing smiles. She is also a very creative writer who can "go with the flow," as some say. You rock, Britt!

horselover82 , lostxdream , and CharlotteBeckner - These guys are also IRL friends, who have been good company over the years. One or the other and I have enjoyed many a laugh or a peaceful conversation when we see each other. I don't actually talk to you three much on here, but I'm glad to know that we can still keep in touch when we want. :)

Thank you everyone for a great year. I hope to be on Wattpad for many more, and continue reading and writing away. I want to see all your cute comments and imagine your smiling faces when one of us writes something nice or funny. I hope all of you have a wonderful day and year. Thank you for reading! Please vote, comment, share, and eat cupcakes!!
