Become a Writer: Start on Wattpad
Love to write, but confused because you don't have the right place to channel your talents? Just start by writing on Wattpad! Uh, what is Wattpad?
Wattpad is the most appropriate intermediary medium to connect writers and readers through writing. Through this Wattpad medium, you can share your writings in various types, ranging from poems, stories, articles, and so on and let your writings be read by many people around the world.
In general, in fact, the function of Wattpad app is almost the same as blogs in general. However, because it is intended for writing, there are some excellent additional features that Wattpad may only have. What are these excellent features?
First, Wattpad owns the "copyright" or the cool term "copyright". This is important because as a writer, sometimes you feel insecure that your work will be easily plagiarized by others, right? Moreover, for posts that are shared on social media using the internet. Easily, all live in-copy paste. Wow, that's very dangerous, isn't it?
With the "copyright" that Wattpad gives to the author—the term Wattpad uses to refer to writers who share their writings through their Wattpad account—you will feel calmer when writing. However, don't let it be you who plagiarize other people's work and acknowledge it as your own, okay?
Second, there is a tag feature that you can use to tag your writing. There are many categories already available such as comedy, drama, and so on. Well, by tagging your writing, it will make it easier for someone to find your work on Wattpad. So, don't forget to tag it, okay?
Third, there is a feature called discover. The fun thing is, this discover feature will take you to explore all over the world. With this feature, you can read various works of authors from all over the world. There are about 15 categories in this discover feature, so you can choose for yourself which type of writing is your favorite.
In addition to writing, you can also vote or choose the writings that you think are the best and catch your attention. Wattpad gives awards in the form of Watty Awards for anyone who has the most exciting or most read writing on Wattpad.
Then, how to start a writing career using Wattpad?

Writing is a tough job that must be started with perseverance. By writing your work through Wattpad, you can hone your writing skills. You can also find out which writing style is most interested in readers, for example.
In addition, several publishers are now starting to look at superior seeds through the Wattpad media, you know. Not a few Wattpad writers are finally able to record their writings and actually become real writers. For example, Erica Febriani, who wrote Dear Nathan. Not only recorded, Dear Nathan's story has even been made into a film! That's great, isn't it?
Apart from Erisca, there is also Ega Dyp and the book When Love Walked In You, My Best Pretending Girlfriend, which won the 2016 Watty Awards and their writings were also successfully recorded. Vanesa Marcella or maybe known as the @mylullaby_ account on Wattpad also managed to post her work entitled Friendzone If You Are Sensitive Early which has been read more than 6.9 million times on Wattpad.
(Pssst, for those of you who want your Wattpad works to be published through Self Publishing Mizanstore too, you can, you know! Check out the information about Self Publishing Mizanstore here, OK.)
Anyway, don't run out of ideas, let alone run out of containers to channel your writing talent, okay? You can start through this Wattpad and hopefully in the future, your dream of becoming a writer will no longer be just a dream. Amen.
