Thank you to everyone who has supported me here on Wattpad and allowed me to reach my goal of 1,000 followers. This is absolutely surreal.

I joined Wattpad a few years ago and I never thought I would get this far. I just wanted to take this chapter and reflect on my Wattpad experience. So many people were there for me and I'm both grateful and amazed for that.

Without further ado, here is the history of my time on Wattpad:

• I joined Wattpad in June 2014 (over three years ago, woah!). I met this user named Symbella who became my very first follower and friend. I looked up to her because she already had many followers but she still acted as my Wattpad "mentor" (unfortunately, I have not spoken to her in a while and I think she deleted her account). Anyway, shortly thereafter, I met my second follower odetosheep. We've been following each other ever since.

• I published my first story that same month (I had already written it and was so excited to share it with others.) It was called School Secret and it was about this girl who went on a mission to find out why her school was purposely failing students. There were so many plot twists, it was great. Unfortunately, I deleted it, but I do want to rewrite it (I will one day.)

• A few months later, I had started to accumulate a few more followers (I barely had any at the time.) I wrote my second book called Left Behind which was this weird science fiction/action novel where the human race just disappeared and these two girls had to figure out where everyone went. Spoiler alert: they were in some underground bunker controlled by robots. Yeah, strange. I deleted that one too.

• I had already been on Wattpad for half a year before I got tired of it. I stopped writing because I had a bad case of Writer's Block and I literally had no books in my library. I considered deleting Wattpad but chose not to. To this day, I'm not sure why I felt that way, but here I am: still writing on Wattpad.

• I eventually had this great idea for a book but didn't know how I wanted to go about writing it. I wrote and rewrote it, desperately trying to find what I liked. I knew that it was going to be an action/mystery book, though. I ended up figuring out what I liked and published the book. I called it Black Rose.

• Black Rose was fairly popular among my followers. I got a lot of positive feedback from them, which made me really proud. Symbella was my first reader and she helped market my book by putting me in her bio. However, I wasn't done there. I was gaining followers little by little and hit 100 within a year.

• I published a book called Ahead of Time, but I stopped it midway because I lost motivation for it. It was essentially about this girl who went into the future but her time machine broke and she had to find a way to get back home (there's not much to it honestly.) Nobody really read it.

• I didn't write for a long time after that. I read a lot of Wattpad books though.

• One day, I decided to write a book from the Random category. It was called Guess The Song. It became pretty big so I continued writing for the Random category. I love doing so and I've gotten many positive responses.

• I went back and edited Black Rose because I felt like it needed some work. That was honestly so much fun to do because it's the one book that I've stuck with here on Wattpad.

• Soon afterwards, I started Wattpad Rants. It was (and currently is) the most entertaining book to write and I absolutely love everyone's feedback.

• Now here I am. I reached my goal of 1,000 followers and I couldn't be happier. Stay tuned for more updates and a bunch of new ideas.
