I was oblivious to this trending matter, until a friend told me about it. The minute I was exposed to this I was buzzing about it. The website offers many different styles of writing and it is easy to read. Definitely a good break from actual books. Now that I am aware of Wattpad, I have begun to notice it all throughout the school. Groups of teens huddle in a corner talking about an update.
From experience, I can say that this App/Website is addicting. It draws you in and swallows you up . . . kind of like Alice and the rabbit hole. You don’t have to be much of a reader to look through the catalog, there is a lot you can learn. And for those of you who write, this is an amazing chance to have your story published. Create an account and start tapping your pen.
