Finding the names of at least 100 red shades is more difficult than writing the story smh

Hi, I just read Shades of Blue (it’s amazing btw), and I realised there were strange comments of people pointing out a shady link, saying it leads to the original work. The accounts I checked were all empty, and created in October 2022 (but I didn’t look at them all), and honestly it’s kinda weird and it creeps me out.
          I’m not sure what to do in this case (maybe I’m just overthinking), but yeah… Hopefully you do…
          So… (my awkward self doesn’t know how to end this….)
          Bye?

@eliasofin Hello! Thank you for reading. Those are all spam bots that Wattpad needs to clean up. I appreciate you letting me know!

Update: so I started Shades of Red as well (have to take a break, cause I can’t vote anymore and that’s not ok), and there are bizarre links all over the book as well, but not always the same one anymore. The profile I opened was created in October 2022 as well, and I think I recognised one or two from the other book… (or I’m paranoid and sleep deprived)
            So yeah… I don’t know if I’m just over dramatic, and these are just people advertising stuff, but I felt better leaving a comment, cause you can never be too safe from links on the internet (emoji shrugging)

halo... maaf mengotori wallnya. aku cuma mau bertanya. pertama, di sini kebanyakan membuat outline dibuku atau di microsoft word? kedua, apa ada yang tahu atau mungkin bisa merekomendasikan aplikasi yang mudah/sering dipakai para penulis pemula untuk membuat outline?
          
          terimakasih, semoga berkenan menjawab pertanyaan aku.

@nathaliejordy Hello! I don't speak Indonesian. I use Google Documents to write my stories. I like having access to it on multiple devices wherever I go.  I usually write a basic outline or a paragraph of my story's theme. It helps me keep in mind the message of the story or the path I want it to follow. Good luck!

Hey, I just read your book 'Shades of Blue', it was so perfect, I literally had myself sobbing in the class. I love how you intertwine the words with metaphors and beautify them so flawlessly! Even I'm trying to write some freestyle poetry, would you mind giving me some tips? I'd really like that :) Also thanks for blessing my day with such an amazing book, I'm gonna be dazed for a while.

@kadymeg aw thankyou, you're so kind! I didn't actually expect you to reply. I'll try my best and follow all these tips, writing dreams sure is an amazing idea! I'm into science as well and I literally love bringing terms from there and merging it into my poetry. Thankyou once again for making my day julietta, you're the best<3

@kadymeg Hi! Aw, thank you so much for reading! I appreciate your support tremendously. :)
            
            For tips, I recommend trying to find inspiration within everything around you, even if it is something that might seem 'bland' or 'mundane' like a daily routine. Keep a little journal nearby and jot down thoughts that pop up in your head when you see something beautiful or something that sparks something in your mind. Write down your dreams on your phone the second you wake up - some of my stories are more detailed versions of dreams I've had. Read many, many books - from poetry to nonfiction to fantasy, etc. Go out of your comfort zone and perhaps you'll get inspired by a genre you didn't expect. Expand your vocabulary and knowledge of topics that interest you - the website the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows was one of the very first things I looked into when I started writing poetry. If you like science, look at illustrations and paintings of cellular networks. Try to describe them poetically. 
            
            The more you know, the more you can write. 
            
            I realized that the more I learned, I started writing more coherently and descriptively. It took me years and I still have a long way to go. However, with a little bit of effort, you'll be very proud of how far you've come.
            
            I'll provide feedback on your poetry tomorrow when I'm free. Looking forward to reading it!
            
            Good luck! Believe in yourself and that's all that matters. :)

@kadymeg oh and by the way if you're free could you also give me some feedback on my poetry? I have never really got a chance to actually learn literature, especially since it's not my first language.
