Writing a story in wattpad

I wrote a story in wattpad. I didn't even care about my story is attractive or my grammar is perfect. I just wanted to write a story. A story that I kept thinking, a story that always cause my sleepless night. But, I got disappointed when I found out I am pressing myself against the number of views and the 'vote' I got from the readers. Yes, it's not what I expected. This made me felt my story is unoriginal because the initial idea of this story had somehow lost in the process of seeking the pleasure.

Then, I stopped. All I ever wanted  is to write something that equals to me but I got it all wrong. I did enjoy writing at there and see the readers growing. Yet, it felt it was not what I wanted. I am expecting to be popular and had forgotten the real meaning of me starting to write a story. Some people might said, it was a good thing to fight for better(the popularity) but some might think I am being ridiculous since it was not a big deal.

See, people do things that they think it's good for them. Anything.

I still remember the very last time I used wattpad few years back then. Keeping myself up all night just to finish reading a story from there. The truth is the story there are really interesting and unpredictable at the same times! If you planning to write one story there, you need to prepare a book cover. It's like you're publishing yourself there and (I guess) there will be no age limit to upload a story.

The First Step: To Have Your Own Story

Writing is fun and having someone to read it will always bring much more joy. Not to mention that, you might get a chance to really publish your work! This step is crucial. If you copy people's work or style, it won't really work out the best. Everyone has their own creativity and that's make us unique. Plan out your plot for your story!

The Second Step: Book Cover

Well, my first book cover is a picture of myself because really, I didn't know what to put there. So I just go to some photo editor thing and add the book title on it. You probably can guess it was quite not attractive and it's unprofessional looking. After I finally realized about the importance of book cover, I went to the 'multimedia designer club' in the 'community' to ask for book cover. So, in every clubs there are few 'pinned threads' which will always shown on the top. Why I said it will always be there? This is because there are many threads in each clubs and the thread will only be on the top list when someone just post in it.  Why am I telling this? That's because you can ask people there to make you one by applying in their threads. You will figure out yourself. Or you can make one yourself! I didn't know I could make something professional until I try.

The Third Step: Find an Editor

Yup, there's many editor out there waiting for you, waving their hands and calling you. Not, not really. Again you need to go to 'Improve your writing' in 'community' and search for editor thread. What editor do is, they correct your grammar mistakes and help you to improve your overall essay (story). No one is perfect, and we need help from the other, too.

Finally, just keep that passion of writing and creating story. Don't leave the story untold, it's very irresponsible for the readers. You might think that no one will read your story, however, when you saw it had passed 100 views, I think you will be dancing so happily like a fool. It's a compliment, at least I think so.

Fun Fact: You can have your own trailer for your book and book jacket plus people are willing to make that for you, for free. The payment they want for return is very simple! It's either follow them in wattpad or read their story in wattpad. At the most important thing is that people in wattpad are really kind and helpful :)

Top fashion, beauty yet inspiring blog I love

First of all, I know, it's had been a very long while since I last write a blog post. Maybe you don't even care about it but I did. I need to apologize about it.

To be honest, I haven't had much time to write as I am so busy with my own life recently. Blog is a place where you can share about stuff you like but nowadays, blog has been faded away so quickly like the smoke after the fireworks. Who has the time to read a blog when you can get the same information through tv or videos? I need to admit that I am also a huge fan of YouTube and that I always watch youtube's videos. Still, I enjoy reading blog. Sometimes, I just love to see the design of the blogs, it's like an art for me.

I love love to see the lookbook in every blog as they describe perfectly and sharing some useful tips, too. Also, some blogs can be very inspiring and motivate you to do something you never ever think of.


Here, I have few to share, check them up and send them some love :)

Outfit 4 (Forever21 Style)

What are you going to do on summer?

Do you have plans already?

Do you think of hanging out with friends? Or going to the beach?

Forever 21 is everywhere and easy to find! I get so excited just by looking at these clothes on their site(You can see that from how many exclamation marks I used in this post XD)!  Everything there are just perfection! Words can hardly describe my feelings. I want to own all if them and I am not even kidding.

This look is so 'appropriate' for summer! And beach!

The swimsuit is white, crochet and high-neck which you can see at everywhere for the high-neck trend. These elements make it stand out of the other bikinis. The white color is able to make your tanned skin appears darker. People always put like a cardigan/ kimino on a bathing suit. Seeing that this swimsuit has nice top, why not show it off? Add a maxi skirt as a cover on. This sheer southwestern print maxi skirt makes this whole outfit suitable for either at beach or go shopping at the mall, just put on a pair of white lace up boots and you will be good to go. Of course, when you're at the beach, no shoes is needed. Enhance your appearance with a sunglasses to protect your precious eyeballs!

Want to hang out with friends?

I am in a black and white color mood when I am picking up clothes for this casual nonetheless well-dressed. This white tops go flawlessly with this grey tie dye skirt. A  mini black fedora hat to augment this classy style. The hint of gold from the mini shoulder bag and the ankle strap heels as the highlights of the look. For this look, I don't want to have jewelry because I want the gold color to pop in this quite look. The tie dye skirt is to add more life to this outfit as there are only black, white and gold. I absolutely love this shoes because I think it is so unique and very chic to wear on. The mini sized of the bag just add some cuteness while providing space for you to only bring  essentials in it. Don't try to overpack stuff in your bag since you're going to carry it everywhere and you don't want to feel the pain from your shoulder when you're having fun.

I match a trendy sleeveless black crochet crop top and the printed harem pants to create a simple yet somewhat presentable outfit. I had noticed that I don't really cooperate long trousers in my 'outfit of the day' series, so this will be it. Some people might think that printed clothing is out of their comfort zone however it is easy to style with if you give it a try! For the accessories, I choose a hat with flowers on it or a colorful bracelet. Isn't them sound summer-y? Ah... forever 21 shoes are the best! The black cut out boots is a must-haves if you're thinking to invest in a good quality of boots. If you want to keep things down, try a nude or pinkish sandals. You can add rings and midi rings of your choice to enrich your look!

All of the clothing items mentioned above are from forever21. You can get them at their stores, too.

Find Outfit 1(asos style)here, Outfit 2(dailylook style)here and Outfit 3(topshop style)here.

This is the end of my ootd series, hope you guys have find some inspirations and have a nice day!
