Just started writing in Wattpad
I have just started writing in Wattpad. I am an author and my only book as of date has been published in 2016. It was 9 years ago. I have yet to publish another book.
And I decided to write again but I do not have any means to publish. My other works got rejected and my self confidence plummetted. So I decided to try to write in Wattpad because there are systems for the readers to comment.
I am writing about Helena, a princess born in exile, being the rightful heir of the kingdom but the new king who won the throne by right of conquest were hunting her for fifteen years, the people were not happy and neglected. So their hope rested with the princess that they did not know was dead or alive. When she was finally out and about at a friendly territory, even the foreign dignitaries decided to meet with her and offer support when she asked (of course, for something in return).
And for now that's it that I had publish. I could publish chapter by chapter, which is good.
You can come and find the book entitled Young Helena and give me some comments. I really need the comments to see if I still have what it takes to be an author again.
Here is the link: https://www.wattpad.com/story/392910607-young-helena-a-princess-without-a-realm and do comment on it if you have time to read it!
Thanks in advance
Story of the Yanxi Palace
I know, people who knew me would tell me that, Eh, i thought you said you didnt like Yanxi palace because its counteract Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace.
Hear me out here.
Yes, I did say that. Previously.
I have watched Ruyi's Royal Love on repeat for more than 20 times. All 87 episodes. I could understand and memorize the script, albiet in Traditional Chinese, and will know which scene was it without even looking.
And i LOVED that drama!
However, it has been a while since i last repeat the series (I stopped watching a little bit when my little girl turned one -- Hey, i started watching when I got morning sickness from my pregnancy with my second born, and kept on repeating it until she turns one. How many times would you say I repeated watching? More than 20 is an understatement, I tell you that), and I had moved a little to Legend of Zhen Huan, which is not a big move, as they came from the same line of production - is that the term? I was told that Legend of Zhen Huan is the prequel of Ruyi's Royal Love, so there's that.
But, after few months of not watching period drama, whenever i see someone using cheongsam, i felt something off. I wanted to watch period drama but i dont want to repeat Ruyi and Zhen Huan. I want something new. So i double back to Yanxi Palace.
And that was then i realized. The Wei Yingluo was not that different than Wei Yanwan. They have the same temper, same cunningly attitude - but Wei Yanwan is not that sharp compared to Wei Yingluo. Yingluo's motive of being closer to the palace, entering the palace and move her way up is different than Yanwan, who just wants to be rich and live comfortably (although she kept on thinking people wants to get to her so much that I was like, please lah, you're not the centre of the world).
Nara Shushen and Nara Ruyi was also not that different, in the first 10 episodes. Both came from family that have downfalls, both encouraged by family to fight for favour. Both did not want to fight for favour, you know, as such.
The differences are, Lord Fuheng plays larger role in Yanxi Palace, the Xiaoxian Empress were too kind in Yanxi Palace...
And turns out I like the Yanxi Palace though I don't repeat like I did with Ruyi. I mean, they spoke of the same persons but are different in any way.
Yanxi Palace did not mention much of the Prince, just the popular ones so there's that.
So try watching them all!
They are all entertaining.
