Looking back on my journey as a storyteller here on Wattpad, I am filled with a profound sense of wonder and gratitude. From the first hesitant words to the stories that now feel like old friends, every step has taught me something invaluable about the craft, the community, and myself.

It’s extraordinary to think how much I’ve grown, not just as a writer but as a person, through this shared experience. The encouragement from readers like you has been my compass, guiding me through moments of doubt and inspiring me to push deeper into the worlds I create.

Without your unwavering support, I honestly don’t know where I would be today. You have been the foundation beneath my dreams, the voices cheering me on when the path seemed uncertain.

That’s why it feels essential to share this exciting news: my story, The Dragon King, has been chosen to join Wattpad Originals. To be recognized in this way is a profound honor, one that I celebrate alongside all of you who have believed in these characters and their journeys.

Balancing the many roles in my life—as a mother, a full-time student, and an employee—writing has been my refuge, my passion. Each chapter I craft is a piece of my heart, an invitation to you to step into a world where dragons and destiny intertwine.

I find joy in breathing life into my characters, in weaving moments that break you open and then gently heal with the softest apologies. Writing is more than a pastime; it’s a gift I treasure deeply, one that I offer to you with all the love I hold.

Being able to write and share these stories is already a privilege beyond measure. To now receive compensation for this labor of love is a blessing that humbles me profoundly, recognizing not only my craft but the collective journey we share.

You might be wondering what this change means for you as readers. The Dragon King will remain free to enjoy through chapter six. Beyond that, a coin purchase will be necessary to continue unfolding the tale. This new model allows me to sustain my dreams and dedicate even more energy to the stories you love.

Your continued support is the heartbeat of my writing life, and I cannot express enough how deeply grateful I am for every read, every comment, every ounce of encouragement you have given. Together, we’ve built something beautiful, and I can't wait for what’s next.

Thank you for walking this path with me—thank you for believing in the magic of stories and the power of dreams.

With all my heart,

Anna May
