I don't feel bad about it because people can do that if they want.
I'm just a little astounded to see the decreased votes this morning. 😅 Since my first posting of the story last May, it's my first time to experience such situation.
(The second picture was the before one)
I just posted my seventh chapter, and I feel great about my progress despite the low number of reads (yet- hopefully).
To the writers here, do you also have this feeling when you feel so good about the thing you are writing, you can't stop doing it?
A new chapter is posted and up for my first book on Wattpad. Please check it out!
I don't really pay much attention on the story tag rankings, but it feels nice pala kapag umangat yung ranking for some reason haha.
It's always been in #3 in Apartment tag, then this week, I realized na naging #2 siya haha. It is still not a huge deal, but it's a little dopamine boost.
I saw a post here on reddit. A dad bringing his son at a coffee shop before school everyday. It's simple, nothing too fancy, but the pictures of the kid with his happy smile says it's all. It is a good core memory.
It got me thinking of my own childhood memories. I can’t think of a happy one. Maybe there is, but the bad ones are more vivid. There are not that bad, compare to others where real bad things happen (I am not comparing). But they were not happy either.
Everytime I think of it, all can remember are the times my mom lockwd me in the bathroom or pushed me towards a cockroach in the bathroom. I can remember the scratches I got. The way I cried. I was probably 6 or 7.
I can remember the time they locked me out in the house for something that I can’t remember. I think, nag-away kami ng sister ko. I can remember thinking what if I walk off the road, away from the house. I never did. I wished I did try to walk off. I am also around 6 or 7.
I can also remember all the times na napalo or napagalitan ako for something that I can’t remember.
Then growing up, I can remember trying my best not to make a mistake. To please them, just to have them on my side. Para ako naman yung favorite. I can remember working hard to be good at school, and to always try my best.
Now, I am 26 and still not happy. I don't know how to live a happy life. I feel like my life is not mine.
And I found myself crying as I type this. I was fine, then I saw that post that it warmed my heart so much I wished i could do that too to my future kids. But I don't even know if I wanted kids.
I not trying to talk shit about my parents. I know they meant well. I know they did what they thought was right. They tried their best. But it doesn't mean that it was okay.
I am not an artsy person, but I am so pleased with the book cover that I made (thanks to Canva) for my book that I just want to share it.
Hello!
I am hoping to look for feedback on my first story on Wattpad.
That's it, that's the post. It's exhausting.
Share your favorite published chapter, so far, in the comments and I'll try to check it out. To make it a little fun, follow the format below:

Mine will be posted on the comments as a sample, you may check it out as well if you want but not necessary.
I am tempted to suggest my book on the comments of some posts here, but I worry that the Poster might be below 18 years old or they are just simply not into the genre. So, let me reverse it and try it this way.
If you are looking for such book, I would like to suggest my book to try.
Let me know what you think?
I am doing a thing... char! Hello, fellow Wattpaders. Allow me to promote this book that I just started.
I've been on Wattpad since 2013, and a little later after that I started aiming to publish a book but I never had the time until now. Hope you can check it out!

Title: The Roommate
Language: English
Rating: Mature
Status: Ongoing
Description: Sage is getting tired being the talk of topic within her friend group. But unlike her hook up-happy and sexually active friends, she refuses to settle for a meaningless one-night stand to satisfy her needs.
When her drunk friends suggest the ultimate taboo in her book - asking her gorgeous roommate and childhood friend, Jakob, to help her "situation" - Sage dismisses it.
It's a terrible idea. It's an unspoken rule of roommate etiquette.
But once the dynamic shifts, the tension in their shared apartment becomes impossible to ignore.
Crossing the line could ruin their lifelong friendship... or it could be exactly what they've both been looking for.
Just out of curiosity, no explanation needed.
When I was a teenager, more on Taglish and binabasa ko but it's more on English these days. I never read a pure Filipino Wattpad story.
I have always wanted to write and get published, and that's the journey that I am trying to do now. First step is, of course, creating the manuscript, and that's what I am doing.
Aside from this, I also started using the platform Wattpad to write side-stuff (a story / stories that is not yet my main story) to build readership. Of course, this alone will not lead me to that path, but I hope that it'll help later on.
I really want to be a published author, and I'll work on that.
And the genre is in romance soooo it is daunting since the genre is so saturated, but my niche is here so I will go for it.
Helllo Everyone!
I would like to share my first story posted on Wattpad.

The Roommate - Katherine George - Wattpad
This is not my first book, but this is my first book to be posted on Wattpad. My actual first book is still in the works. While preparing it, this story came to mind. I feel bad not to actualize it because it does represent a piece of me.
A few chapters are already posted and will try to update every week - Saturdays. Hope you may visit and take a look.
It will be much appreciated. And hope you enjoy it 😄

I recently saw a post on naming chapters. I generally prefer naming them as Chapter One, Chapter Two, Chapter Three, Chapter Four... so on. But in your opinion, is it better to provide chapter title?
If I'm my current chapter will have titles, they'll be:
