When you click a book about writing, you might be expecting me to *at least* tell you how to be a better writer.
Or maybe tell you how to get a million views WITHOUT having to be a good writer.

And we'll get into that. I guess. I never say that I'm a good writer, but I'm good at marketing and advertising (my mother could have bought a house with my tuition fee.) (She's slightly disappointed when I told her I want to be a full time writer.) (I don't blame her.)
But as for right now, let me introduce myself first.
I'm Cat. My name is Catharina. It's not what my friends call me (coz they say my middle name is easier on the tongue), but it's what I insist to be called online. I'm a twenty something writer on wattpad. Yes, I'm ancient.
As of right now, I'm writing full time. I write wattpad fictions, comics, various writing gigs, and when I want to splurge, I write Company Profiles. For the first time in years, I can proudly say that I'm a writer. I write as a mean to make a living. And it pays surprisingly well. I can add eggs to my daily ramen meal. (No, I don't. But it's what my mom has prophesied for me.)
(My mom really wanted me to be a CEO or something. Doctor. Lawyer. You know.)
(We're a conservative east asian family)

(^ my father looks like him)
I have a bachelor's degree in advertising. I'm a fan of startups but not a believer of one. I worked in an advertising agency. Love the energy, but not going back because of the toxic environment. And everyone there is either workaholic or divorced.
I'm a smoker. And a recovering alcoholic. I counter it by making other healthy habits. I eat ginseng and drink Matcha everyday. Once a week I'm eating umeboshi to boost my metabolism. I take pilates and yoga. I'm quite a health nut. But in the end, I smoke clove cigarette and I'm afraid I've shortened my lifespan because I can't stop doing it.

I'm in a long-term relationship with my boyfriend of 7 years.
I'm about to get married in two months.
I'm so fucking old geez. I want to stop adulting.

So what can you expect from this book?
Rants. Journaling. A lot of whining and trivial observations. Most of the times, though, I'd churn out a few writing/motivational tips, because that's what my life revolve about these months. Fangirling about TV shows. Book reviews. Maybe a few posts regarding insecurities.
Next post is about cliches and why it's never going to die. See ya later!
P.S:
(I've never really spoken in a first person POV on wattpad as me. It still feels weird. )
