@donnaf1828 yes!! Using it for editing is a good idea! I’ve heard the same thing about hearing it and catching mistakes. 

@JessEubanks Thanks, Jess, that's what I was thinking, I've noticed less activity, but to be honest, I've noticed less activity on all my books at the moment. I'm guessing it's because I've been less active on Wattpad this year. I think I'll leave it for the moment as I might listen to it myself.  I was told you can pick up mistakes by listening to your stories recorded, so I'll use it to edit and then remove it. Xo

@donnaf1828 I'm late to this post, but I added text to speech when it first became available as a tag. When I was more active on here, I did notice that people who listen were less likely to vote, and almost never commented. If they did comment, it was usually one at the end of the chapter, not a few spread throughout. I love comments. It's one of the best parts of Wattpad as far as I'm concerned, getting to see what people think about certain scenes or characters, maybe learning something new. Votes and read numbers going up is fun to see, but I get paid the same either way, (nothing, lol). A lot of people do prefer to listen though, so it might expand your audience. For me, it sounds so automated, I couldn't stand to listen, lol.

@donnaf1828 still at hobby stage, selling a few things each month to friends & family.  Having loads of fun.

@MoodyMooseMouse Fantastic, I think you'll enjoy it. How is your t-shirt business going?

@preciouspearl20 I do have a chiclit book that I'm preparing to put up early next 2025. 

@donnaf1828 Good to know— I will wait for the pictures. I'm okay, just getting through by life. 2024 flew by. Are you writing anything new? 

@preciouspearl20 Hi, Pearl, I got home a couple of weeks ago and am trying to get organised and back to normal life. America was wonderful.  In a week or so, I'm going to put up an album of my favourite photos. Hopefully, I'll get back to writing early next year.  How are you doing?

@danicapcosta I'm still in America but leave for home in a few days. I have done some editing of a chick lit story while I've been here and hope to get back into Wattpad and writing when I get settled back home.❤️

@dram12 Hi Jim, I'm in America now. In Seattle, at the moment and yes, visiting my son in Spokane.  I wanted to see Mt Rainier so I flew over. In the airport right now waiting my flight back to my son and his wife. I have 3 more weeks then I'm back to Australia.  Next week I going to Massachusetts. 

@donnaf1828  Enjoy yourself. See as much as you can. 

@ZahraShahbazian Hi, can I ask why you decided to post on my wall. I see you've posted similar requests on the pages of people you follow, but we don't follow each other, so I'm curious to know why you chose me? 

@TheLiterateRee xoxo

@donnaf1828  have a safe trip:)

@DennisRoyer Thank you. Will do xo

@DennisRoyer ❤️❤️

I can certainly understand your granddaughter taking priority. Spend as much time as you can with her. As you know, they grow up quick. I remember you saying you were coming to the States. I wish you a very enjoyable and safe trip. When you're here, summer will be easing into fall, so the weather should be comfortable. My wife and I will be taking a vacation at the end of September, heading to the mountains. I'm looking forward to it. Keep me posted!

@DennisRoyer Hi Dennis, I must admit my writing has taken a back seat for a while. This year, I've worked on editing Bell Ringer and Amid the Dark, which is my new title for 123. I've started to edit an earlier chitlit book that's never been read by anyone but me, and I hope it will be ready for Wattpad next year. I've been busy painting the inside of my house, only one room to go, spending time with my granddaughter and..... drum roll.... I'm coming to America in two weeks. Yay!!!! I'll be there for 8 weeks. I am taking my laptop and hope to get time to continue editing. 
            Thanks so much for checking on me. I'm really enjoying your latest book, and congratulations again on becoming a creator. Xo

@donnaf1828 Thanks!

@JonLeePeto Glad to hear your book is back.

@donnaf1828 Yeah, one of mine was shadow banned, but I noticed a few weeks ago that it had rankings again, so yeah, but I hope they stop deploying AI or at least stop "listening" to AI until after a human checks. Glad you have some renewed enthusiasm!

@JonLeePeto You're welcome. 

@donnaf1828 Thanks for the warning!
