My Story on Wattpad?

Hello everyone!

About a few years ago I believe, I thought about posting a story on Wattpad. I remember it being in the middle of the summer where I was at a Wattpad phase where I would only read stories on Wattpad. After reading many great ones, I decided that I wanted to do that too. So I started writing a story with the title of  "Paradoxical" and posted abut 4 chapters before I stopped, and deleted it off of Wattpad.

Why did I do that?
I didn't feel ready. I didn't feel ready to have something public and final be out there in the world where people could potentially steal my ideas. I knew that there was a copyright setting but I still didn't feel comfortable with it. Also at this point in my writing career, I always went back to change things. Thankfully, I am better at that now.

About a week ago I decided to do check out Wattpad again. I haven't read much of it ever since that stage of mine since I got into many published books and read those. I still have about 11 followers and am following 9 people.

"My Life with the Walter Boys" by Ali Novak is a story that was posted on Wattpad that got published earlier this year. I searched up the author on Wattpad and followed her and saw that she replies to all of her messages. I sent her one asking about copyright and whether she thinks I should post my stories on Wattpad. Long story short, she said yes.

Her reasons persuaded me to give this another shot. So, my story now named "What I Thought Was True" is going to be posted on Wattpad. At this moment, I have one chapter up but will be writing more.

I hope that you guys would be kind enough to give it a try. I am still working on another project, one that will not be going online.

Thank you so much for reading this and I hope I will be able to find some readers kind enough to stick with me.
