My beginning as a writer: the discovery of Wattpad

I remember when I was in seventh grade and my teacher asked us as an assignment to write a short story to deliver and be qualified. My mom helped me create "Chococat and her friends" (they were clouds by the way) and they evaluated me as perfect. Thank you mom for your help! Then I did not have to rewrite a story until I got to my first year of college and the teacher asked us for a short story as an assignment. I would like to remember the title or even the story, but unfortunately I deleted my total memory. I did it at the last minute (hours before delivering the assignment) and in the face of despair, I can not remember what I wrote. However, the teacher qualified me with 95% / 100% and urged me to participate in a literary contest of the same university. For silly (there is no other better word that describes me).

Now, after a baccalaureate, a master's degree and about to finish the second, I'm creating stories. It turns out to be a friend. She has been writing stories for years and she sent me some to edit. Then we had the conversation of how nice it would be to publish them. Beautiful, is it not? However, I started thinking about self-publishing and the marketing process to promote the stories and get readers. I told him that he had to start creating a "fan-base" to make himself known among people and then the readers wanted the book so much that they would not be sorry to pay them. This conversation happened in the summer of 2017.

Seeking alternatives to begin to make known the history before self-publishing, as in Amazon for example, I decided on my part to investigate platforms where my friend could place their stories. Finally I found Wattpad . I created an account and started exploring the platform. I thought it was great how easy it was to navigate in it, the design, the countless stories for one to read, the community, in short, everything. I started reading some stories and found everything: from the best written ones to those that urgently needed a dictionary and some good Spanish classes.

I talked to my friend about the platform with great enthusiasm and told her to create the account so that she could start uploading her stories. As we all know, starting to publish self-created writings becomes a bit overwhelming and my friend decided to think about it before starting to upload her stories. Instead, as I am a daring woman, I decided to create something on my own and start publishing to see what happened. Out of nowhere, I threw myself into bed to listen to music and imagine what I would like to write. From there came the idea of creating a story of young people with functional diversity (impediments) who in turn had powers and a purpose in their lives. And that's where my idea of " Los Inclusivos " came from" Let's say that since August 2017 I write stories of various genres on the Wattpad platform and I recently found Sweek where I will be uploading the same stories.

So ... as a total novice in the world of writing, I hope that this experience will continue to be rewarding and full of learning. Maybe one day I will publish with an editorial (something that never happened in my head) or possibly start with self-publishing with Amazon. I do not know what the plans of life will be, but this is my beginning as a writer as a hobby and in the few months that I have been writing, I tell them that I
