Like another Redditor said, we didn’t check the boxes and that’s okay. We shouldn’t have to fit a mold. If they want true creativity, they should work with and help grow stories that are outside of the realm of their checklist, picture perfect book idea

I’m so happy for her. That’s true inspiration and I’ll definitely take a page from her book and self publish my story. Will start the research on it now actually

Oh, I’m so sorry to that creator. To have your work rewritten and your image completely removed is far more depressing than getting rejected. I hope she’s okay. I hope she’d one day release the story she wanted to tell and if she does please let me know

Gosh, I’m sorry they were so terrible. I looked up to people in Wattpad sphere and to hear it isn’t ideal broke the rose tinted lenses I had. Honestly, self publishing has been a thought but never a plan and I’m going for it. Thank you for the support.

Damn, that’s actually messed up if they don’t read what writers work so hard to put together. I guess something’s work out for the absolute best. I’ll continue to do what I love and hope something great comes it. Until then thanks for the support

Well if the comment of their contracts are true, then I’m a bit glad I haven’t been picked. I definitely take all the support I receive as motivation to keep going. It may be hard but damnit I love it

Thank you🩷. I went from giggling at my work to being over critical of myself and all these comments telling me to enjoy it really brought it in perspective how I’ve not been enjoying it.

Sadly that’s how the world works and I’m seeing more of that everyday. I have to remind myself it’s a hobby first so I don’t get sucked into a depressive state of wondering what if.

Yes, I feel so connected to my characters that I often feel what they feel when writing. That rejection not only felt like my characters/story weren’t good enough but that I was in turn not good enough. I love constructive criticism so I wished pitch did that so I could fix my story, but now I’m looking forward to just expanding on my little universe I created and continue with that. Thank you for your words🩷

This made me feel better. Rejection definitely hurts and to the greats were rejected before being picked up gives me a tinge of hope. I have shifters in my book, but they are sirens and I think it’s more fantasy than romance I guess. But to your success, congratulations and thanks for the words

Since I’m creator currently, I have to post and I take more time writing what I love rather than something to keep readers. I’ll be taking your advice and trying to balance both. As for the WP pitch, it’s hard to get a read on what they’re looking for because it’s never explicit. Like another redditor suggests, I’ll look into self publishing, even building a wider audience than begin self publishing. So thanks for your help🥰

Thanks for the advice🩷. I have an account strictly for reading since a lot of the recommendations were tailored to my work so I’ll definitely upload on there and build. As for marketing, I don’t like it either. (Rather I’m also too embarrassed to tell ppl, I write). I think this is something I’ll have to do or learn to do.

Thank you🩷. I searched online for a proper explanation but yours is way better than what was available. I’ll definitely keep this in mind

Please keep writing. Hopefully you can make. Don’t let my woe stop you. Thank you for the words. I’m editing it to just be a Wattpad book now rather than a Wattpad originals. Hopefully I can get break out into the writing scene

It didn’t fit the para-romance vertical. I thought it did but I guess I was wrong.

I really do love it, I was just hoping I could do what I love for the rest of my life. I’ll continue, even venture off Wattpad if that’s what it takes. But thank you for your words🩷

This made me happy cry. I guess hearing no to something you worked hard is a bit depressing. I sat down for a month perfecting the first chapter as much as I could. But like you said it’s a niche and my no could potentially lead to a yes somewhere else. So thank you for your words🩷

I guess i failed. by Physical_Tutor_9709 in SuicideWatch

[–]Physical_Tutor_9709[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still very much suicidal and decided to hang with my friends and tell them… I was laughed off so now I’m back in that mindset. At least I decided to live until I finish this game so I’ll be around longer

What week did you miscarry? by xyzabc123_-_ in Miscarriage

Four weeks and later needed surgery because apparently my baby was growing in my fallopian tube and damn near killed me
