First off, I'd like to say that my posts have been cut down so much and I'm sorry. Recently and at a super amazing time (not) my laptop broke down on me. However today I've managed to get onto a computer and have myself some time to write about this topic. Wattpad is something that I have only just come across and I can't believe that it has taken me so long to discover it. Where have I been? Now for you people who, like me have had no idea, Wattpad is a site where writers can put their stories, novels and poems on for people to read, comment and rate. I think that's a fantastic idea because you can really see if people like your work and if your target audience is exact. You need to know if the book your writing is going to appeal to the people you want, and this site is perfect for that.
The site is very easy to use and you can even upload a book cover of your choice, add your comments and make sure everything is just right, for you. Personally, I have always been a bit conscious of putting my writing up on the internet because there will always be people who think that they can use it but this site doesn't seem to have that problem. I was hesitant at first, but I over came that. Even with deviant art, it took me a long time to put something up.
With deviant art, I believe that you get a quicker response to your work, or at least, I do. Of course I'm talking from a personal experience, so if it is different for you, let me know. With Wattpad, you can see if people are reading your work straight away, so that works. I think this can give you confidence in your writing. If your a poet, go and put your poems on! Some on that site are just beautiful. And if your a writer, what have you got to lose?
As always I'm going to leave you with a few links. The main link to create a Wattpad account and just a few writers/stories on the site. I may feature some favourites in another post, so look out for that!
