I've finally taken the plunge and signed up for Wattpad.
For those of you who don't know, Wattpad is a free community site where you can upload your story/novel in parts. The idea is that you can upload your stories for free, as well as read other people's work and leave comments on it/vote if you like it. I'm a little late to the party (as always) - Wattpad currently has 40 million users, and it looks as though it's only going from strength to strength.
I'm still trying to find my way around the site and figure out how it all works, but I'm having fun so far. There's A LOT of sci-fi/fantasy stories on there, but I've already bookmarked a couple to read over the weekend.
At the moment, I'm currently in the process of serialising Synthetica on there - why? Because I want to give people an introduction to who I am and what my work is like. I'll be working on something exclusively for Wattpad in the near future - I've got a couple of ideas, but nothing concrete yet. But I'd like to have something original on there by Christmas.
If you'd like to check out the first couple of chapters of Synthetica, you can find them on my Wattpad profile here. At the moment, I'm aiming to upload a new part every Wednesday and Friday (although it won't let me upload a part right now, which is super irritating, but I'll keep trying - hopefully I'll have another new chapter up tonight).
So that's it! Hopefully I'll see you guys over there :)! And don't forget to check out my work ;)!
Are you on Wattpad? What do you think of it? Do you have any favourite stories that you've discovered on Wattpad?
I've never really understood Wattpad. I know a lot of people who use it though. I'm not sure I could handle something else to neglect - like blog reading!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - that's what I'm worried about too, either forgetting to post or just neglecting it because I'm so busy. But oh well, might as well give it a go :)
DeleteI've heard of that. Sounds like a great platform! Like Annalisa, I'm worried about taking on something more. I'm struggling just to keep up with all these blogs!
