I actually use Microsoft Word Perfect 12 as my writing program (old, I know, but that was what I started with way back in 2009 or 2010, and I don't ever want to change). So maybe you're not entirely alone?

And when it comes to posting on Wattpad I actually just copy my stories from my Word Perfect and paste them into Wattpad. I've never written straight on Wattpad. But I would recommend it if you want to converse with a wider variety of readers/writers and share your stories in hopes of getting feedback. Though I haven't been getting much of the latter.

Whoa.

this is epic.

I actually uploaded my whole book here on CS. I can't believe it. I've actually finished something for a change. *goes into shock*

I also joined wattpad, and I followed most of you. Who I could find, anyway cx My username there is StarTrekFan4life, just like here.
I also got my whole book uploaded there too. *jams*

[fable;]

since my computer broke (physically),
i need to transfer my word documents into google docs.
i only use microsoft word when i don't have wi-fi.

bliss, i found kanker today
and spent three hours reading and wailing.
i feel a bit pathetic because the last book i cried at was the green glass sea.
(it's by ellen klages, by the way)
i didn't even shed a tear at the fault in our stars book.

I use Microsoft Word as well, though it's a pretty old version of it (2010/2011 or something). I could never get the hang of other programs such as OpenOffice or Google Docs.

I tried Pages as a writing program on my iPad, but when I updated by iPad every document I ever made on Pages was deleted. >_> luckily there was nothing overly important on it, but it was still pretty annoying.

So i got a question for you.
do you believe that historical fiction is more suited for an older audience?
Because I honestly find myself willed to write more about characters in
past settings. But it seems modern every day people are what a young
adult audience tend to veer toward these days.

I put my drafts for my book on there because we have two computers, so now I can use whichever one I wish to work on the story that's been rotting for the past four months!

Not in my opinion. Many of the books that I am (supposed) to read for school are historical fiction, and all of which are for children or teens. I liked a few of them as well, and am a teen myself.

I think it all comes down to is the audience. I, for one, am more fantasy oriented, hating most books about modern everyday people. I find my life extremely boring, so why would I want to read about a life with the same amount of bore? Reading and writing is an escapism for me, and I don't want to escape into a world exactly like this one, not without some magic to spice things up.

Which is probably why I'll find it very hard to get most of my works read once I publish them. Due to the fact that I don't want to pander to the dystopian future obsessed generation.

Congrats! *breaks out into raucous applause while throwing confetti*

I followed you. I'm Megaguirus there.

young audiences like the future/dystopias very much,
but personally, i'm a huge fan of historical fiction (and
i'm a teen.) you just have to make it interesting.

actively reading historical fiction books is awful, even
though that's pretty much the only type of book you
actively read. whyyyyy
