Wattpad is home to many incredible writers. We had the opportunity to speak with some of Filipino Wattpad Writers and explore their experiences with Wattpad. Check out what they had to say here!

As a medyo-medyo frail kid, I had to spend more of my free time indoors, or kung lalabas man ako para makipaglaro, complete gear lagi (meaning, long sleeves, pajamas, rubber shoes—ako lang naka-rubber shoes sa 10-20, kabogera). I needed to find something to do aside from studying, manood ng Filipino dubbed anime sa TV, o ng adapted or Filipino dubbed Korean series, at mangapitbahay (at makinood lang din ng TV ang ginagawa ko). Doon na ako nagsimulang magsulat. With writing, I didn't need to come outside the house and worry my parents about me getting wounded or having mosquito bites.

I discovered Wattpad through classmates around 2012 or 2013. Dahil nausuhan din naman ako ng cellphone at computer, naki-join na lang ako (haha). At least may iba na akong pinagkakaabalahan bukod sa Pet Society at Farmville. I like reading, pero mas gusto ko kasing magbasa ng school textbooks kaysa novels (Noon! Ewan ko na lang din kung saan napunta ang studious self ko). Wattpad offered a lot of choices, and most importantly, I didn't have to go to the book store (at pakiusapan si Mama na ibili ako ng libro, o paghintayin si Papa habang namimili ako) or pay. Plus, there's interaction with co-readers, with some eventually turning into friends, at kapag sinusuwerte, interaction with writers na din.

As of writing, Fleeting Moments talaga. It has the cleanest first draft, and the characters felt so real (at least for me). Most importantly, although pressured, I had fun writing it. I didn't have to exhaust my brain cells to think of scenes pero hindi naman ako naligaw sa story, and I'm super thankful for that kasi hindi talaga ako nag-a-outline (haha). It also opened a lot of opportunities for me which I am very much grateful for.
