Crystal Scherer

Your books are amazing! Also, I really appreciate the fact that you have the full versions here on Wattpad, and don’t just post part of the book and say in the last  chapter, that if we want to read the rest we have to buy it. I’ve seen way too many of those lately. 

@Inconspicuous_A 
            Thank you so much for your support! I really appreciate it.

            The stockart came from Neostock, which closed down the other month, so I can't check. (And Wattpad made the cover, so all the licensing forms are in their hands.)
            The URL said "Donna in post apoc", so maybe donna?
            And short people for the win! I'm only a bit taller, but I still climb up cupboards all the same. XD

            I had the luck of starting in 2016, when the algorithm very heavily rewarded daily uploads. I joined a few book contests and writer groups.
            Overall, I never promoted much - I simply wrote stories. Because readers like to read, and they eventually found my books.
            
            The number of books is a culmination of 10 years of writing. And yes, I did write on an almost daily basis.
            
            I have a chapter about 'lightning inspiration' and how I avoid it in my Tips for Writing on Wattpad guide - because yes, I do get ideas that fade, but by setting them to the side for at least 6 months, it weeds out the early faders.

@jabaee 
            Huh. I never thought about that.
            I imagine the search would turn frantic, and eventually they'd realize that Diane had left too easily for a reason. (And the way she delayed her departure).

@shalmeno 
            Hello! I hope to see it in print one day, but for now, it's in an exclusive contract with Wattpad. (I couldn't print it even if I wanted to - sorry!)
            It also needs a revision to tweak a few plot arcs / balance a few sections to make the Saursunes' actions more understandable. And definitely feel free to leave notes of parts that felt like they needed help.

Thanks!

            For a while, it was just a tag you added. Then it was  a form you filled out. Now they have it marked as a "beta test" and are "slowly rolling it out" (and have been rolling it out for about 4 years, so no idea the criteria or timelines.) https://support.wattpad.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049082211-Text-to-speech
            Many phones now have text to speech now built into the app interface (just need to activate it in settings).
            I was never fan of robot voices, so I've slowly been hiring narrators to narrate my books (can be found on Audible/Amazon, and hoping to sell them much cheaper on my website by next year.)

I look forward to reading it.

@monkeyboy4ever 
            My guess is 2027 since I want to write it entirely offline and then start posting it. Sorry, it won't be anytime soon.

@JNightshade666 
            Best of luck with your books! Happy writing!

@CrystalScherer I did have three. But one of them wasn’t really going anywhere so I thought I might as well unpublished it. Regarding the blurb, thank you for the feedback I will work on that. 

@JNightshade666 
            You had three books, but I only see 2 now. 
            Before, the one that was taken down didn't give a good sense of genre/theme. (Think it was a dark cover that gave murder mystery vibes?)
            The planet one gives unspecified "fantasy kingdom" vibes, so assuming that is what you're aiming for, that will work.
            Paw patrol is spot one for theme.
            
            As for summary/blurb, take a look at Equinox. It's a background/worldbuilding description. There's nothing there about the main character, their goals, challenges, etc.

@LoneLeon Can't wait for this, with both The Virus Within and A Different Virus! Already have bought two physical copies of those currently available :)

@LoneLeon 
            Hello! Wattpad currently has exclusivity on The Virus Within, so while it something I wish to see one day, it will be some time in coming.

@PhoenixHybrid 
            Definitely something on my list!
            The problem is that my list is longer than I am tall!  Lol!
            Always happy to chat with readers - the comments are what make the platform fun.

@CrystalScherer I'd love another short or even another book, I've been a fan since the books came out! You're my favorite author and I appreciate how you interact with fans and answer my questions! <3

@PhoenixHybrid 
            Welcome! 
            Yes, it was curable with medication and had symptoms that he should have noticed. Counselling probably wouldn't have gone amiss either.
            
            I do hope to revisit the world again one day - that's why I made the mention of other labs in A New Beginning.
