# In July 2016, I made this account and used it to write stories about werewolves like most cliche stories you'd find on Wattpad. I didn't get very far, I had around 20 followers and barely any interactions but I continued to write anyway because I loved doing so.

# Sometime during 2019, a former friend of mine told me about a fanfic called 'Potter?' and she recommended that I read it. Thus beginning my passion for fanfiction. I removed my werewolf books and started writing fanfiction instead.

# The first ever fanfic I wrote was a Draco Malfoy x Potter Twin story that did not last very long at all. But during that time, I had managed to get over 100 followers which was a huge accomplishment for me back then.

# During covid lockdown, I wrote a lot. I had plenty of time and that led to the releases of books like Struck With Power, Silver Starlight and Soulbound. These specific books helped me climb further in followers and understand that people enjoyed constant updates.

# Unfortunately, in my attempt to update almost every day, I burnt myself out and am now dealing with the consequences of that. However, I continue to write and update because writing is my passion. And fanfiction is my practice. And practice makes progress. And progress becomes peace of mind.

# Everytime I open the app and see the follower count, see the popularity around my books, I'm left in disbelief. And every time I start to doubt myself, I remember that 4000 people think my writing is worth their time. And that helps that depressive thoughts. So thank you for always showing me that support even when I'm impulsive and demotivated.

# On the 26th of May, 2022, I reached 500 followers on Wattpad. At this point, I did not believe I would make it passed 600 and was completely okay with that. But it didn't stay that way for too long.

# On the 22nd of May, 2023 (a year later), I reached 1,000 followers. A goal of which left me absolutely speechless. At this point, I knew I had to of been doing something right and so, instead of leaving like I had planned early 2023, I stayed and kept writing.

# On the 15th of May, 2024 (there's a strange pattern happening here), I reached 2,000 followers. Once again, I was left speechless and in awe. The constant support continued to bring pure joy into my life even through my own constant struggles outside of Wattpad.

# At some point late 2024, I hit 3,000 followers (I don't seem to recall the exact date). I never even expected to get passed 500 and yet, I managed to reach 3k followers.

# On the 24th of May, 2025, I hit 4,000 followers on Wattpad. I am still to this moment (26th of May, 2025, i am writing this) absolutely speechless and left in awe of the support and love sent my way.

# The next goal; 5,000 Followers <3
