YWW Official Blog

 I’ll start from the sweet part so you don’t immediately run away from this epistle I’m about to drop on you. First things first. You guys absolutely killed it with the prompt submissions! We received 14 stories in total, which is a solid turnout considering our size. And honestly? I was impressed. Like, jaw-dropping impressed. You people surprised me in ways I didn’t expect. The effort, the creativity, the spice—all of it showed me that we truly can be that big, beautiful YWW family that always shows up for one another. The turnout gave me a huge boost of trust and confidence in us. But you know what they say: “Good things don’t last forever.” 😭 Now, I never want to believe that about us… but you guys, you planted a dangerous little seed of doubt inside me this past Sunday. Let me explain. We had been reminded all week about our Game Night. I mean, it wasn’t a casual “by the way” reminder—it was constant. Morning, night, random times in-between—you were told. I even begged for yo...

 Hiiiii! 😁 Yes, it’s me again, your runaway-but-returning friend. Honestly, I expected this holiday group chat to be booming with gist, memes, and maybe a sprinkle of chaos. But alas, silence. Cricket sound effects. Y’all are truly disappointing. Meanwhile, let me not lie, my one-week getaway vacation was a straight-up banger. 🔥 I did the impossible—pushed my phone aside for an ENTIRE week (I deserve an award, maybe even a statue). And guess what? Not only did I return refreshed, but your girl came back with a crush too. 🥰 (Relax, I won’t spill all the tea… yet). But beyond the enjoyment, something magical happened: I learned a lot about writing thanks to a great friend I met. And since I’m generous, I’ll share some of that wisdom with you. But before that, permit me a quick intermission. First of all, a massive thank you to our dearest, gorgeous Auntie Omah. 🥹 The way you expressed your love for us—including me! (I’m still blushing, by the way). That day was beautiful, and it...

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 🥺💅 Who missed me? Wait. Wait. No, seriously. Who. Missed. Me. Because I actually doubt any of you missed me at all 😩. I don’t even think you people remember me 😭. Like—no one said anything like: "Ah! What happened to our blogger?" "Why haven't we received any blog post 😞?" Not even a “We miss your chaos 😔.” Honestly, I’ve come to one conclusion: You do not love me. But since I’m a girl of drama and flair 😌, Let’s have a little Bridgerton flashback, shall we? ME (gripping the banister of a grand staircase): “I have heard that you wish I had not come, that you want me to go, that you do not want to see me. What I have not heard… is that you do not love me.” ME (collapsing onto a fainting couch): “I have been suffering 😩, alone 😭, and believing I am a failure 😔as a blogger, as your Yours Truly 💔because you forget me, like I’m some bad subplot in Season 3. But today, quite suddenly… it occurred to me— Maybe you ...

Hey besties! 👋 It’s been a hot minute since I wrote a blog post, and honestly? I missed it. 😩💅 The drama. The emojis. The absolutely unnecessary metaphors. But today… I return with ✨ sparkles, awards, and chaos ✨— just how I like it. Because guess what? 💥 The Opal Awards are officially OPEN! 💥 (Yes, scream. I’ll wait.) --- 💎 What Are The Opal Awards? The Opal Awards are hosted by YWW – Young Wattpad Writers, the legendary writing community where you’ve laughed, cried, trauma-dumped (in fiction form), and met your Internet besties. This award is our love letter 💌 to all the talented, passionate, lowkey unhinged creatives in our corner of Wattpad. It’s for the ones who stay up until 3AM editing Chapter 12 like their life depends on it. You deserve to shine — and now, you literally can. Like an opal. A white fiery one. With orange vibes. Don’t overthink it. 😌✨ --- 🌸 Why Should You Enter? Oh, I’m so glad you asked. Let me serve you some benefits like it’s a writers’ buffet: 🏆 Re...

After the 1-year anniversary celebration, we had some looking back to do. We are chaotic, fun, and outstandingly unique. But honestly, it seems we're losing the point. What happened to us supporting our books and giving writing tips? Stickers and memes took over. There’s nothing wrong with a little fun—we all need to laugh between writing plot twists and battling writer’s block. But somewhere between the chaos and the laughter, we’ve started to drift from why this community was created in the first place: to grow as writers, support each other’s stories, and help each other thrive both creatively and publicly. Some of our most active members have gone silent. New members are joining but wondering what they’ve walked into. And the core focus—our books—feels like background noise in a room where it should be center stage. So, what’s next? We're not shutting down the fun. (Relax, meme kings and queens, your crown is safe—for now.) But we are rebalancing. Starting this month, we...

Dear YWW, My Chaotic, Brilliant, Beautiful Fam, One year. One entire year. Can you believe it? Because I barely can—and I was there at the beginning! Yes, I was a pioneer. A founding voice. A glorious day-one legend... who dipped after two weeks like a confused side character in a Wattpad romance.  But plot twist—I came back! Five months later, a little ashamed, a little dramatic, and very ready to make a scene. And oh, what a comeback it’s been. From watching this community bloom into a vibrant garden of chaotic writers, late-night vent sessions, insane sprints, wholesome support, and memes that deserve awards... to being welcomed back like the prodigal writer I am—this journey has been nothing short of magical. And by magical, I mean emotional breakdowns over deadlines, bonding over heartbreaks, and writing articles that made people laugh and cry. A true writer's dream. YWW isn’t just a community. It’s home. A place where I can scream about plot holes, drop random stuff, and have...

AI: An Enemy, Friend, or Frenemy? Last Saturday, we dived into a hot topic that stirred up a lot of opinions in our community: "Is it right to use AI in writing, editing, or even to do the work of a writer?" When this question was raised, I couldn't help but reflect on how books were written in the past. Back then, if you weren’t fluent in English or lacked strong writing skills, writing a book was nearly impossible. Editors played a crucial role in refining an author's work, and they made a fortune doing it. But now, in this age of advancing technology, those editors might just be saying goodbye—because AI is taking over. AI-powered tools like Grammarly, Hemingway, and Proofreader AI are revolutionizing editing, making it easier and more accessible for writers. I personally use AI for editing, and it has been a game-changer. It's improved my writing greatly that sometimes I don't need AI to edit. But here’s where things get controversial—some writers are usin...
