So, I just got the weirdest set of Notifications. Wattpad informed me that the following books of mine are now available with the Text to Speech feature (Snowblind, To Those Who Wait, A Rock and a Heart Place, Kiss and Make Up, Full Circle, Office Polit-Licks, and A Little Dinged Up). Now, that is cool and all, though I've never gotten messages like that before. But, here are the questions... Has anyone tried the text to speech? Does it work well? How is the voice? And most cringeworthy, just how bad are the more intimate scenes when they play those???? I need to know without listening and cringing myself!!!

@Loiosh I started listening and reading along to A Rock And a Heart place. Loving the story so far. Only gripe is that text to speech stops near the end of every chapter.

@Rejektppc I can see the benefits there then, yes

@Loiosh it's typically a computer voice but I don't mind it too much because at the times when I'm working and need 2 hands I can still "read" the book. It is a little flat and emotionless. It does open it up to readers with vision issues though. So in conclusion it's not the worst but not the best.

Hello.. I don't know who else to go to for my question, I was looking for a gxg book about a straight girl and a gay girl. It's not a book title just the type of genre 

Loiosh

@Viktor557007 I think there are a lot of those books out there, but this is one I know off the top of my head: https://www.wattpad.com/story/7404252-ms-homophobic-gxg-%7E-editing-%7E

Will you be putting your lost books up on Inkitt? I'm hearing that's been a great backup for some authors!

Loiosh

@pibjnky I've only lost one book, which I thankfully had completely backed up (as are all my others). I actually have a plan for reposting on a different site, I'm just waiting for it to be ready, and then I'll post links and make an announcement. I'm hoping it will happen soon, but I can't say for certain when it will actually happen.

Hey I was interested in reading your story love, lesson, learned however I can’t see it in your work area. 

Loiosh

@Msauthor22 No apologies needed :-) I'll let everyone know when it is up, but there are a lot of other books to check out if you like!

Oh um my apologies and let me know whenever it’s ready and all in the meantime I’ll read other stories

@Msauthor22 Yeah, unfortunately, Wattpad decided to take that down for a violation that they never explained back in June. Now, luckily, I do have it all backed up, so it WILL be put back up somewhere. But it won't be on Wattpad since evidently they'll just take it down again (since I still have NO idea what community guideline it could have violated). I'll post a notice when it available with a link to it though.

You know, as soon as I finished typing that is was Friday the 13th, I realized that I should probably drop an extra chapter on Uncompromising, just cuz I don't want anyone scared on such a spooky day. So. Here comes another chapter. Then I can spend the next hour fixing the release schedule to move everything up a day!

@Loiosh this is what has me hesitating posting an extra chapter today. Adjust the schedule all the way back to November is such hard work :’)  I appreciate you for this so much!

Okay, so while I am thrilled to have hit the 3k followers mark, there are a bunch of other writers with great books out there that deserve more too. I know I've mentioned some in the past, but here are some lovely writers with some great books that deserve some more love!

Tomorrow is Labor Day here in the states... and you know what that means? That means I put out a bonus chapter so while you relax on a day off you get a little more to read. I'm sorry if you don't have the day off, but enjoy the chapter anyway!

Loiosh

@Leethestud Labor Day is the end of summer up north here. It was when all the businessmen (back in the day) would go on a vacation with the family. Now it is usually the end of summer for kids cuz school starts around then.
