Officially a 2026 Wattys Entrant ✍🏽

One click. One submission. Countless hours of writing, editing, and second-guessing later… His To Keep is officially entered into the 2026 Wattys. 🖤

No matter the outcome, I’m proud that I finished this revised edition and shared it with the world. Here’s to taking chances and believing in your stories. Now the waiting begins. ✨

7/4 Edited to

... Read moreEntering the 2026 Wattys with 'His To Keep' has been an incredible milestone in my writing journey. As many fellow Wattpad authors will agree, submitting a story feels like a blend of nervousness and excitement after countless hours of crafting each chapter. The Wattys is a fantastic platform that celebrates creativity and supports writers worldwide, providing great exposure and community encouragement. Through this process, I’ve learned that revising a story isn’t just about fixing errors but about diving deeper into character development and honing the narrative’s emotional impact. I encourage every writer to embrace the second-guessing phase as a necessary step toward growth and improvement. A crucial part of this journey is believing in your story’s value, even when doubts arise. Taking chances with your work—like submitting to the Wattys—can open the door to feedback, new opportunities, and connections with readers who resonate with your themes. For those writing romance or passionate character-driven tales, contests like these also help bring communities like #BookTok together to share and celebrate stories. Finally, patience is key once your submission is complete. Waiting for results can be stressful, but it’s equally rewarding to witness your story take part in this vibrant literary event. To anyone considering submitting their work, remember: the process itself is as meaningful as the outcome. Keep writing, keep revising, and most importantly, keep believing in your story.
