I shall begin with my hate for wattpad(I might be joking idk).
There's this one thing I hate about Wattpad, I mean I despise it. Why would they clear my drafts after while!? I mean it's not really taking space right?! And it's my draft. I'm beyond annoyed and sad rn cause I type a lot of complicated and private stuff on there and save as draft because I don't know? At one point in my life I wanted to be a Wattpad writer. I loved how people grew on the app and how the motivation the people give through commenting,viewing and stuff like that brings about consistency from the authors.
Right now,I feel bad. Everything I wrote in that app felt like a part of me and yeah,I know I should've typed in my notepad but the one on my phone have a limitation for the amount of words you can type. I remember the first time I decided to actually start a story series but I didn't want to post it on Wattpad yet cause I thought I wasn't worthy, wasn't ready yet and that my work still needed a lot of polishing and grooming so I decided to post on Facebook instead. If you ever noticed, there are pages on Facebook dedicated solely to books or stories. One raining day,it was raining and everywhere was really dark, I was bored out of my mind. Been reading a lot of books and watching a lot of movies that I was short of things to keep me company or occupied during the lockdown. So I decided to create a page and start a story. Safe to say that I was trying my best? I used Wattpad to write then I'd copy and paste to post on Facebook. There were even sometimes I'd write a chapter of the story I was writing on paper cause my phone was low and I needed to post at the end of each day cause it was the only way to stick to consistency. A chapter would take more than 5 pages of a notebook. It was fascinating and quiet cool writing with my pen on paper to be honest. I loved it cause I could make better use of my imagination. Everything around me was a guide, was something you make reference to in my story and write about. It improved my social skills because you need to socialize, communicate with people if you want to make it big on a social media. Well, unless you're rich then you shouldn't really care about this. But rich people still socialize to know people and be able to push whatever they're selling or producing higher. Staying in one position for a long time is unhealthy,I do not recommend it. Try to grow,look for ways to improve on yourself and be better. Talking to Wattpad rn, I do not like that app anymore. I feel pain.
Apart from my little rant, I also have with me some book recommendations I'd love to share. Well, it's a book series.
The secret of the immortal Nicholas Flannel by Micheal Scott. I read this series when I was 15 and it was lovely reading it again. It base on Greek mythology and it's really beautiful. There are about six books in the series.
The Alchemist
The Enchantress
The Warlock
The Sorceress
The Magician
The Necromancer
They're not arranged accordingly but this should be all the books in the series. Amazing if you ask me
