Heading towards the stars

It was 4 years ago when I managed to stumble on the site called 'Wattpad'. I actually spend most of my time reading stories from that site.... Actually, I even managed to influence my older sister to read there.

A year after discovery, I started uploading my own works. And since I'm quite shy, I didn't bother advertising it in the social media, well in fact I'm really secretive about it. At first I was really hesitant, there was a point that I went on hiatus for 4 months because a part of me screams that I'm not really meant to become a writer. But in the end, I was like I don't care if others would send me flame messages or something as long as I'm doing what I love. When I opened my account after my hiatus, my jaw literally dropped. I didn't expect that within a time span of 4 months my story that wasn't even half-way done (I had just uploaded the first 9 chapters that time), was able to gather 8,000 plus reads, my followers (they used to be called fans) went from 0 - 50. AND THAT WAS WITHOUT JOINING BOOKCLUBS AND ADVERTISING. And instead of hate messages all I received were encouragements and praises.

I finished the story on July 2014, two years after after I first uploaded. And the journey isn't as easy as I thought it would be. The requirements from school, trainings, competitions, intermission numbers, family problems, WRITER's BLOCK, there was one time that I even forgot the plot of the story and almost every drama you can think off (Love life) got in the way. The Demon was Tamed wasn't the first story I wrote, but it was the first story that I let others ready. The feedback and support that I got from it gave me the strength to push wit my writing career.

After 2 years, The Demon was Tamed whose reads were less that a hundred, and LilMissCyree who just have 8 followers... now have no less than 3,000 reads on every main chapter, while I, LilMissCyree already have 500 and counting number of readers.

But along this journey, my dream wasn't just to finish my story. I also dreamed of becoming one of the Wattpad Ambassadors...

I applied to become one of the ambassadors, and honestly, because of school works I had even forgot about it. Until I checked my Gmail and saw the e-mail.

I'll be starting my probationary period soon... And I hope I make it through.
