Should I join Wattpad?

I just want to know if it degrades your credibility as a writer if you have an account but want to take publishing seriously. I've heard stories where you run a chance of getting recognized, but I want to actually try and get my name out there and not pull that card that someone will find me when a pro would go out hunting and earning their own fame. Just curious.

    I did last week and it was like bad luck followed me and I almost died and food doesn't taste good anymore and my chickens stopped laying eggs and my cat barfed on me... wait that's the other way around.. oh, and now everyone on Y!A hates me. Don't do it. It will be like selling your soul.

    There are many writers on there who have gotten published from being on Wattpad and many already published authors use it to interact with their readers. It is also a very social community, it could never ruin your credibility as a writer, as long as you're good.

    I think you should. I have the app on my iPhone and I really enjoy it. Plus maybe it could help you improve your writing.
