I've just added on Wattpad another humorous essay to my collection of memoirs about village life: "In Which I Decide to Join the Village Life". Reading it reduced the former village choirmistress to tears (but in a good way - phew!)

Hi, Debbie. Thanks for the follow back. Hope you're having success with your writing.

Hi Mark, great to meet you here, and I hope you're having fun with Wattpad. Do you know about the Alliance of Independent Authors? A great network for self-publishing authors everywhere, and it was through them that I found out about Wattpad. (By the way, I think I just replied to your message in the wrong place - so if you get two similar replies from me, that's why!)

Hi Debbie. Welcome to Wattpad. Great to see you here. I hope you like it.
          
          I'm currently establishing myself here as best I can, by providing my first book and some of my second, which is currently going up. But mostly I am looking forward to posting my WIP soon, in the hope of gaining some useful feedback and interest. I'll be sure to let you and ALLi know when that starts! :)

Steven, I'd love to know how you get on with using Wattpad for WIP feedback - if you'd ever like to blog about it for ALLi, just let me know. (It was Dianne Greenlay's post about Wattpad that got me on to here in the first place!) Good luck!

Hi Dianne! It's because of that great post you wrote for the ALLi blog that I finally got round to setting myself up on here - easier and faster than I'd expected, and good fun. Am planning on adding more bits and pieces over the next little while - a great platform for people like me who write lots of short form stuff.

Hi Debbie! So nice to connect with you here. It takes a bit of time to build, but it's a good way to find readers and to get feedback.

Hi Dianne, I'm having fun here, and it's thanks to your initial recommendation! Great to connect with a growing number of ALLi folk on here too!

Hi James! I can already see it could become an addiction - yikes! But also a useful promotional tool. I enjoyed Diane Greenlay's post about it on the ALLi blog and have been intrigued but haven't made time to try it for myself till now, but with a couple of new books coming out soon(ish), I've persuaded myself to make time to play on it for a bit!
