Well, I still cannot believe I really posted that in my announcement 24 hours ago. I usually planned my announcement carefully, making sure to reread it eight times for good luck charm before I hit 'post'. But last night was different. I simply wrote then posted then wrote again (in comment) then posted.

Since it is part of my "truth untold" I will copy paste and post it here.

Heya, my angels, by now you should know that you are my family and the cause of my euphoria! ❤️ *confession time

So I went scrolling the comment section in mid of a convo with  trying to prove to her that ENTWINED was really published back in 2017. I've never said this to anyone cos I was not comfortable of saying it out loud but after recently sharing a lot of hard stuff in The Truth Untold, I feel that maybe I should tell you this. Not because I want to feel relieved or anything, I only hope that this could inspire you and all the writers who just started writing on the platform (or writing in general).

When I published ENTWINED, only a few people read it. I ain't kidding, I can count them with two hands. These people are very kind people who left encouraging comments. I am indebted to them, truly. If it was not because of them, I would have quitted. The power of words is really strong which is why I am trying to do the same to newly published books these last couple of months.

But self-doubt is an ugly thing. A few months later, ENTWINED only had a lame 12K reads ( which nothing compared to my 2nd book TBNB --350K reads ( So I did one of my biggest regrets: I unpublished the book. I kept remembering those ugly words that my Mom had once said, "No one will read your book. Don't be an embarrassment. Stop wasting time." I was going to delete and forget about it but someone messaged me on Wattpad, asking me where the hell is ENTWINED so I published the first five chapters for her in February 2018. She told me she wants more and if u know me, u know how bad I am at saying no to these requests so I published all in one go just for her so she could read. Guess what? In June 2018, it was featured. Then on 4th of July, it reached 1M. On July 12, it was chosen by Wattpad to be read for the week: ( So, fam, miracles do happen and dreams do come true.

agatharoza ㅋㅋㅋ 난 아직 여기입니다 XD   What I want to tell you is not everything comes in an instant. Not everyone wakes up one day and become successful. Everything has their own time and YOU have your own time to shine. Maybe in six months, maybe in a year, or two or maybe ten. What you have to remember is to always believe in yourself and your work. I am a huge believer that when someone is so passionate about something and willing to work hard, one day they will succeed.   Keep on writing even though no one reads your book (trust me, no one read mine either back in 2017 and it still surprised me that people read my book even now). Work hard and harder each day. Try to improve and learn more. Keep on pursuing your dream. Ignore the naysayers. Tell that small voice in the back of your mind that says "you're not good enough" to shut the hell up.   Because one day, it will work out. Dreams do come true but sometimes it takes longer for it to become real and most people give up before that happens.   Have a great week, my angels! I am sorry for my long arse message! God bless!  loads of pizza, your noob neighborhood author, agatha x
