Edward? Is that you?
so while i was on a long bus ride last week i was bored and decided to look for a new app for my phone. i came across Wattpad which is a free e-reader. i decided to check it out. it turns out that Wattpad is a place where people can post their own novels and have readers vote on their work etc. basically i'm reading unpublished aspiring authors. the first suggested books were teen novels. don't judge me, i was on a bus. while in the middle of my second book from this app i noticed what i would like to call the "Twilight" effect. these books contain supernatural elements and people who are impossibly physically attractive. physical perfection. thank you stephanie meyers for reminding all aspiring authors that preying on teenage insecurities about their physical appearance is the recipe for success.

I've never heard of Wattpad before but that sounds really interesting! Were all the books the same or was there some diversity?
ReplyDeletethere are all kinds of books available through the app. the books are divided by genre so you can narrow your search that way. it's a cool idea but you get some really poor writing and some of the authors don't proof read before posting.
