Sixteen years ago today, I joined Wattpad.
A lot has happened in that time. I've written stories, non-fiction, poetry, long and short form works, and have seen a huge amount of change in how the platform works.
But one of the reasons I joined back in 2010 was to enter the first Watty Awards. I did pretty well, and ended up with six of my short stories in the final listings (the rules were a little different in 2010).
And the Wattys of course are still going on @TheWattys profile, managed and run by a wonderful team of people, and these days you can win a significant amount of cash.
It's time to start tapping away again in my little corner of Wattpad I think. I'm not quite sure what to start on first, but something will pop into my brain at some point I think and make its presence known. Probably something zombieish.
To those of you who are entering The Wattys this year, good luck!
Now, where did I put that document with all the random ideas on it...
