I know this is kind of late, but it had totally slipped my mind to share this when it’d happened.
On February 26th, 2015, I had received an email from the community manager of WriteOn by Kindle, which is a writing-sharing site similar to Wattpad. I had posted my story on there about two weeks prior from receiving this email.
He had wanted to let me know that he was “enjoying [my] story, ‘Far From Normal’ so far.” He also thought the “premises [was] clever and the execution entertaining.” I beamed and radiated sunshine like our Sun itself.
He went on telling me how he wanted to “feature [my] story on the front page of the site some time.”
Let’s just take a moment to let this sink in.
He wanted to feature my story on the front page of the site. My story! Of course I immediately emailed him back accepting the offer. It was great!
I’m not writing this to gloat and brag about this event, far from it. It was just very far from normal (pun intended).
But I wanted to share the news with my fellow writers and readers because it was a big moment for me in my life. I’ve never really won any medals or awards growing up. Well, maybe a participation award in 5th grade, but everybody got that!
So I just wanted to share and assure that hard work won’t go unnoticed. And to keep writing and following your passion and dreams!
