tips for new writers (2)

//Read Carefully//

《Do's and Don't》

DO...

-Use punctuation and commas so it would be easier to understand for the readers to read.

-Read your work thrice, carefully so you can spot a mistake and edit it.

-Before you click the button "POST", make sure that you are ready to face the challenges ahead :) ((not saying this sarcastically))

-Make sure to have an extra folder for your works since Wattpad might erase your works. (Trust me, I have experienced this)

-Be confident with your work! Appreciate the small number of votes, comments and reads. All of us writers did start with the same amount of number of votes, reads, and comments like that.

-Be friendly with your readers since you might meet your Wattpad Bestie! But make sure to ask this question to yourself.

(Do I trust this person?)

-Make sure to thank the people who supported your story; personally or not (It's your choice :3)

-Keep a small notebook for your character's profile since it's very helpful.

-Find your own style of writing

-Make sure that your story is readable.

-Plan your character's personality well so you won't get mixed up.

-Plan out the events of the story.

-If you plan to make your character have some sort of sickness. Make sure you research about what kind of sickness is it and example.

[Cancer]

[Thyroid]

[Heart Problems]

[ect...]

Like it doesn't make sense if they get hit by a bus then they get better by the next day.

Or

If they have cancer then they get better for the next two days later. Do you get me?

-Be creative! Do some plot twists, do some character development!

-Make your characters fall in love in different ways but don't make then marry too fast! It will totally end the story.

-Create eye-catching story titles and covers. Even though we tell people "Don't judge a book with it's cover." Well, we all do it and we can't blame it cause it kicks in us.

-

DON'T...

-Copy the ideas of other writers! That's a no-no.

-Be sad that you only have little reads, votes and comments. Stay Positive!

-Post a story with an unclear introduction since it turns off the readers.

-Make your character too perfect because it bores the readers plus your characters are only humans.

-Try not to let your character to cuss a lot since it also turns off the readers.

-End the story by..

[Make the character disappear in thin air]

[Make them both cheat each other then end the story]

[Kill a character with no damned reason]

~More to come!~
