I get a lot of comments from people who ask how to get thousands of reads, and how to become super successful on Wattpad. There are also a lot of people coming to me asking how to not give up on books when it seems like no one is reading. And I understand completely how it feels to feel like no one is reading. For my first two years on Wattpad it felt like no one cared what I was writing, and I almost gave up so many times.

And I did give up on some books. When they didn't get any reads at all I would delete books even if I really loved the idea and that is one of my biggest regrets. The numbers blind us all, and it is hard to look past them. But let me tell you this- never give up on your works. Never stop writing because no one is reading because one day someone will stumble over them and fall in love.

And when that happens it means the world and back. I remember on my first account I had this one really loyal reader who read everything I put out, commented and voted, and they made me feel like I could never succeed more on Wattpad. I feel like everyone should experience that at least once, and you can feel like that if you don't immediately delete your works.

Write whatever you want to, I've been doing it for months and thirty books later I still write whatever I want to. Over forty books on Wattpad in total and I still write whatever I want, and I've made my mistakes and learnt so much from them. Don't feel like you're any less of a writer because your works don't get thousands of reads, because it's all a waiting game really.

To be honest this account is all so surreal to me now. I'm so used to writing to an audience of three people who would read my old works, and now I have hundreds. And that's pretty darn scary. But I'm just like you guys. Having 100k reads on a book doesn't really mean anything at the end of the day, I still get butterflies when I see a comment or when someone messages me. I'm still an awkward human being who binge-watches YouTube videos, and almost chokes whenever someone says they like my works.

Give yourself time to grow, it doesn't come in seconds. Those numbers shouldn't define your works, what's inside should.
