Screw it, I put my novel on Wattpad · 10:02pm January 9th
Yeah, after some setbacks and such, I decided to do something bold. I went ahead and put my first original novel, Cycles of the Flame, on Wattpad. I think it needs all the help it can muster, but yeah. It's part of a series I've been working on for a while, arguably since 2019. Either way, here it is.
Distorted Daydreams, Vol I: Cycles of the Flame
Isekai Fantasy/Drama
It was supposed to be a simple trip for Spring Break for Mia Ramirez. She'd pick up her friend, Riley Hall, and they'd go down to Venice Beach. The perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of college. That was, until she stopped by Riley's house and discovered something unusual, cut off with a bright light...
When Mia wakes up, she discovers that not only is she in a world of talking animals, she's in a body that she doesn't recognize. It doesn't help that she learns that she's in a country with a terrible history of dragons, dating back to a war that's almost as old as her. With the help of a few allies, she has to discover the history of this world, figure out how to resolve 20 years of bad blood, and figure out who did this to her and why. And that's all before she finds out what Riley's part in this is...

There's no real going back after this, I can tell. Then again, the "way back" was a road I saw all the way through to the end. It's time for something new. Oh, and tomorrow, I'll post the link to the second book (yeah there's a second book already done) as it will start being uploaded then.
Here goes nothing. Oh, and if I somehow get famous from this series and you found this blog post because of it, yes, I used to write pony fanfiction. I don't regret it. I wouldn't have been able to reach the point of writing original novels without having honed my craft through this.
I followed you on Wattpad.
Surprised you went for Wattpad over Ao3. Luck either way!

I actually have no idea how Ao3 works. Can you tell me about it?

So I'm purely a reader on Ao3, I've never posted any works on it. But they do have a tutorial on how to do things..
Tagging is more like Derpi in that it's a bit of a free for all but I think it's a solid site and definitely won't punish you for posting LGBTQIA+ stuff like Wattpad has been known to do in the past.
And hey, more sites means more reach. n_n
