2/2:
I've read some right shite from authors who have 50k followers and millions of reads and then some amazing art from smaller wattpaders and think eh???? what's going on here then? I feel like if you're not writing what everyone else is, people scoot over your work and don't even care and I'm not gonna lie to you and say I've not fallen into that trap in the past of wanting to write similar things as others to even get some kind of reading base. It's a horrible.
As I've said a million times before, I couldn't care at all about the reads etc on any of my work. My first series was called Bad Boy Vibes and it was a 3 book series and I had a total of 89 million reads roughly on all three books put together. I deleted them, and you know why? Because I started the series when I was thirteen and my writing has changed enormously since then. My old work was so bad I cringed. I have since revised and published this series under a new name with a brand new slate and they are now books I am proud of. I would've kept those books up if I was hooked on the reads, votes etc I got from them, but it really isn't all what I care about. I want to put out work I am proud of.
I guess for anyone reading this random mess of thoughts that I hope you can at least understand the way I feel and that I've thought of giving up and closing my account more times than I should've.
For anyone else, please let me know what you think about wattpad now & if you think I've not mentioned something.
I hope nobody feels offended or anything, I love everyone and wouldn't want to cause any offence! You all mean the world and I wouldn't have had the amazing support and encouragment if it wasn't for all of you! xx
