A Writer’s Paradise: Wattpad

wattpadlogo

A few months back I came across a website that is so awesome that every time I visit it I feel like shouting off the rooftops and letting the world know about its awesomeness! Okay, I do have a tendency to exaggerate but this time I am honestly telling you what I feel.  :)

The website is http://www.wattpad.com. And it is the best place any writer can be.

Wattpad is a forum where writers can upload their stories and have people read them, meet people from all over the world, exchange ideas, expand their creativity and on the whole have a great time.

And all these are definitely useful when you want to establish a platform for yourself; a platform of loyal readers and followers who will stick by you when you finally become a published author and desperately need good reviews to leave behind the newbie tag and worm into the bestselling list.

Defining Yourself: I am a Writer

lets write

Have you been passionate about something so much that the very thought of it burns your blood and drives every waking thought in your head? Have you ever felt so strongly about something that the very idea of it not being there makes you feel as if something essential has been torn out of your soul?

That’s how I feel about writing.

Writing isn’t just something I do because it’s a hobby or because I like doing it. Like is too shallow a word. I write because I cannot survive without it. It is the fire that constantly burns within my soul and drives me forward every waking minute of my day and dreaming minute of my night.

Shifting to a new residence is a pain in the ass. In fact the hassles it involves has always made me wish for a gadget that would allow me to shift all my stuff into our new home without having to go through the packing dramas. But imagine if instead of a clean house you arrive to find your new home littered with all sorts of things the previous tenant wasn’t kind enough to put in the garbage bin. Definitely something everyone would want to avoid. Saying that let me introduce you all today to our guest author, Amanda Cumbers who has written an interesting post about some things you definitely don’t want to find when you move in.

Mom Tails: Shit My Mom Says

owl cupcakes

Hello and welcome back to Momville! The temperature outside is unstable and is as prone to heavy outbursts as insane brightness.

For those of you who didn’t get the reference in the lines above, they were describing my mother’s temperament (Ah, what teenager doesn’t describe their parents this way?) So if you want to know more about the kind woman before you read on just head over here and be prepared to fall out of your chairs in laughter. :P

Okay, back on track. Today I have a treat for my loyal readers and as promised yesterday I am following through with a post that will blow your mind. I am going to take you on a cruise through mom lingo, or in other words be prepared to learn some– Shit My Mom Says:-

Guess Who’s Back?

Hello children! How have you been? I hope you have all been hale and hearty…

I know you are wondering what the hell happened to me? Well, let’s just say when I am giddy with joy I tend to spout out weird things.

And what might be the reason behind such an epic happiness? Here are a few options for you to choose from:-

1. I am a serial killer and have just returned from my latest kill… an old lady with only a single gold tooth in her mouth.

2. My squirrel has just gotten itself pregnant and so I am busy dreaming about 101 Dalmatians and how I can make it a 101 Squirrels story.

3. My exams just got over.

So which one is the right answer? 

It is…

My Exams Got Over!!!!

What? You seriously thought it was the first? Dude, if I was a sociopath in reality do you think I would have been sitting before my laptop and writing a post when I could have enjoyed the murder by skulking around the crime scene and laughing inside at the incompetence of the police? 

Anyway, so this calls for some celebration… doesn’t it? Doesn’t it? Okay! So keep your fingers crossed because I am going to publish a post tomorrow that is rather close to my heart. Hmm, you want to know what it is going to be about?

Hint: It is another Mom Tails…

You don’t know what Mom Tails is? Well, they are pieces about mommy dearest who is the quirkiest lady on this planet. And I being the evil daughter keep writing about it for kicks and laughs. Anyway, if you want to know more about her before you read the upcoming post tomorrow then head over here:-

Mom Tails: The Incident with the Berries

Mom Tails: What Happens in a Malaysian Food Fest 

Well, have fun till tomorrow and be prepared for I am back…with a loaded gun in my hand (hmm, maybe the serial killer thing wasn’t a joke after all… scared, huh?). :P
