Hello Christine, 
          I found you listed in the over 25 category.  I'm trying to find readers because I only posted today.  I'm not sure you read romance genre, but if you do, would you mind looking at mine?  I'm already looking at yours.  Your pitch sounds interesting to be sure.
          My best friends here are also an older mature age.  They write Fantasy and they are exceptional writers.  Their stories are also mature and totally original ideas.  It hasn't been done at all!  Neither has mine.  If you're interested, contact me.  Thanks, She

Hi Sue, 
            Sorry for the delay. I got away from Wattpad for a while and just saw your message/comments this morning. I'd love to have a look at your work - it can be so difficult to find non-teen work here! 
            
            Foreign Shores is the first story I've written since the seventh grade, which was a very, very long time ago! We've had to cancel my son's trip for financial reasons, but I think I'd still like to finish the story. Your feedback is really constructive and your insight will help me with the rewrite; I only hope I can provide you with the same support.
            
            Christine

@mjriedstra I've wanted to write for a while now, but I have always been too busy. Finally I decided what I was going to write and the next day my son came home from school and told me about this great trip he wants to go on. The trip is to London, Normandy and Paris for the 70th Anniversary of D-Day.
          When he told me that I decided to write a different story and sell it as a fundraiser for his trip. It's going well so far, and I'm thinking about publishing a sample on wattpad to help generate interest. I just need ti get the cover art first. 
          I've always been a voracious reader. I've added your book to my library and I'll have a look when I put my pen away for the night.

          For as long as I can remember, I've been both.
          
          Reading was my favorite thing in the world, until I discovered that writing is reading with the bonus of being able to direct the story.
          
          If you'd like, feel free to check out some of my work.

          It's a decent-sized sample of my published novel. I have high hopes that people will enjoy it, but it's oddly difficult to find anyone who will take a chance on something they aren't already familiar with. Especially when not targeting the teen audience.
          
          Are you a writer as well, or mainly a reader?

Hi there. I saw you post in the "over 25" thread and also saw that you were Canadian. As possibly the only two Canadians over 25 in the whole of Wattpad, maybe we can be friends or something.
          
          If we're not too old to remember what we're talking about.
