Hah old af edit

You let out a content sigh as you rested your head on Shuichi's shoulder, leaning on him. Shuichi had his arm wrapped around your waist, pulling you closer to him as the two of you watched the sunset.
You opened your mouth to tell Shuichi you loved him, but before you could a boy wearing a grey jacket showed up and grinned, "Before you continue your date, I would like to tell you that your date is sponsored by Detective_Holmes on Wattpad!"

Wow, I really do be getting my own self advertisements out there.
Well, anyways, I reached 2K followers. Before I hit 2K followers, I asked people what they'd wanna see for a 2K special and someone gave me the idea to talk about how I started writing on Wattpad. That's a really short story, so I thought it'd be more interesting to talk about my history as a writer... so here we go, I guess.
I wrote some stories for class in elementary school, but the time that I really started writing was in 6th grade in middle school. My first story was about a Siamese cat named Sammy and it was heavily based off of the Warriors book series because at that time I was reading the series, starting from the VERY first book. I was... really obsessed with the series at that time-
Anyways, that story was really short. I wrote it on loose leaf notebook paper because it was all I had and it only used 4 pages {so 2 pieces of paper since this goes front and back}. After my first story, I kept writing more stories about Sammy because I knew my writing was really bad and I was trying to rapidly improve it. The longest story I wrote at that time was 11 pages of notebook paper, and it never actually finished. I just got tired of writing it.
Later in 6th grade {when I was about to turn 12, so probably around February or March}, my friend introduced me to a website called Quotev. She wasn't actually there for the website really, she just found some FNAF personality quiz and at that time my friend and I were both going through our FNAF phase so we thought it was the coolest quiz ever.
Well, 6th grade me was a person who would suck up every last piece of content from every corner of the internet that I could possibly find {thank god middle school me never found the NSFW side of the FNAF fandom} and I'd still complain I didn't have enough content. There was literally no satisfying me because I didn't know how much effort went into making pretty much any sort of content whatsoever, so I figured it was really easy to make anything. I literally thought a complete drawing with lighting, shading, etc. would take someone like 20 minutes... so I was almost always unimpressed with what people came up with and tried to find something better.
Because of me ALWAYS searching for content due to my dissatisfaction, I came back to that personality quiz my friend showed me and learned that it was hosted on a website called Quotev. I explored more and found tons of FNAF content on there, so I started doing what I did best at that time and read as many stories and took as many quizzes that I could find while complaining the entire time that their work sucked. I never commented and said anything to their face, but I wasn't impressed. I'd always think about how I could do so much better than them, and after enough frustration I made my own Quotev account and started posted FNAF fanfics.
Spoiler alert: they were terrible.
I was unimpressed even with my own work to the point I couldn't read my own writing and I refused to believe I'd written it. How could I have spent so much time on something only for it to turn out so shitty? I didn't understand. Writing chapters for stories was only supposed to take like 10 minutes, right? So why did I spend 30 minutes and it was short and awful?
Well, for one, my writing skills were still developing, and for two, 30 minutes is NOT enough time to write a good story chapter. Not even close.
I ended up constantly deleting my works and starting over because I didn't like them, but by the time I reached 7th grade I finally got to the point I could sort of stand to read my own writing. I still didn't like it, but I could at least read it. I started leaving my works up after that and I actually managed to finish books! They were terrible, but I finished them.
Over the course of 7th and 8th grade I wrote fanfic for several fandoms and constantly improved my writing style. However, I'd noticed that the amount of profile traffic I was getting was slowing down significantly. At first I didn't know why and I just posted more often trying to combat that, but then I realized that Quotev itself was dying. I'd made a Wattpad a while back but I hadn't really posted anything on it until about 2018, where I was kind of forced to move from Quotev.
I found every reason in my head to complain about moving to Wattpad and constantly cursed Wattpad's name because, "It stole all my Quotev traffic and now I have to move here just to follow some stupid trend! What a pain in the ass!" Ironically now I love using Wattpad, though I'm sure when Wattpad dies and I have to move again I'll have that same mentality. I take a really long time to get used to change, but once I'm used to it I never wanna go back or introduce something new.
Anyways, I started posting oneshots here. A lot of the oneshot books I used to have are now deleted because they were absolute cringe {including BATIM, FNAF, and Danganronpa 2 oneshot books}, but there's obviously still some standing today. Just reading from the first oneshots to the most recent ones, there is a LOT of improvement, and I hope that I continue to improve. I'm not very good at writing novels just because I haven't really written thay many, but I hope one day I'll become great at writing novels. Though writing is just a hobby for me and I plan to become a chemist when I grow up, I would like to say I published at least one novel that I'm actually proud of.
Welp... that's basically the "history" of my writing. Just as a small side note, I don't really do it too often anymore but I sometimes add easter eggs in my writing that makes references to my OC Sammy or the stories she appeared in. I might bring her back one day too.

Now, here's some of the shit I think about during the day.
~~~
"Shuichi!! It's an emergency!!"
"What's wrong?!"
"I LOVE YOU!!! NOW HUG ME I NEED AN EMERGENCY HUG!!!"
"..."
~~~
"Ow!!!"
"Are you okay, (Y/N)?"
"Yeah, I just fell... for you."
~~~
"Shuichi you confuse me."
"What do you mean...?"
"Well normally I only like girls so why are you literally the hottest thing ever? Like shit dude."
~~~
"Shuichi appreciation time!"
"Wait, what-?"
~~~
"Shuichi, I think you might've accidentally took something of mine when you came to my house last week."
"Oh, I'm sorry!! What did I take, I'll give it b-"
"You took my heart. I hope you'll keep it and cherish it."
~~~
"Shuichi, you're a fucking liar."
"H-huh?!"
"You say you love me but I know you don't... YOU SUPER DUPER MEGA ULTRA OMEGA LOVE ME!!! NOW KISS ME!!!"
~~~
"Why are you T-posing, (Y/N)...?"
"To assert dominance. Now get on the fucking bed."
~~~
"Shuichi, I have a question."
"What is it?"
"Well, if nobody is perfect, then why do you exist?"
