My big book of rants...
Ahh...how I love to express my feelings AKA tell you how pissed off I am about the world:(
So...just so you get a general idea of how strong my opinions are...
1.I think humans should all die because we have ruined the world, and everything that's in it, and one day there will be an Apocalypse and it will all be our fault...so we might as well just all go die now and have it over with.
2.I think that sheep, and cows, and horses, and goats, and all other grazers are pointless...whats the point of existing if all you do is go around eating grass all day? There is just no real point to your existence (no offence to you, sheep and cows...but hey, offence intended:P).
lol
So...now you guys know me...and my strong opinions about life, err :P
My slightly bigger book of rants begins now...
Ok, so...
Wattpad. Wattpad. Wattpad. An online booking community...well, not a proper one anymore is it? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't half the books on this website just written for the numbers under the title being highlighted in red? Aren't they just writen to be 'wattpad famous'?
It's all very well wanting to be up there, and to be honest, I'd be happy if a single one of my books got up there, but the point of enjoying writing and reading isn't to have a million comments saying "Oh my goodness, your writing is awesome' cause unless the person who has written the comments actually develops from this point, it is so obvious that they are just fishing for compliments, or hinting for you to read their books.
Ok, ok...I do this sometimes too, but I usually say a point to improve aswell, or tell them why I thought it was awesome, not just saying "it's really good", because their just empty words.
It's a bit like when people say: "oh, my mark in that exam was really terrible" When in truth, they got 3 marks off full. All they're really doing is hinting for you to say "Oh no, you got an amazing mark, why do you put yourself down?"
ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH! Of all the things that piss my socks off...that is the biggest (well...almost:P)
Anyway...back to what I was saying:P
Ever since I was really small, I have wanted to be an author, it's my dream career. So when my friend (@VintageBirdie) introduced me to this amazingly awesome website, I was really happy, because at last I had a chance to share my books, and read other peoples books. And trust me, I'm not aiming this at anyone in particular, cause there isn't an 'anyone in particular', but I think that some people on this website don't really see it like that.
They see it as being 'popular', having everyone read your book however bad/good/rushed/cliche it is!
This makes me think...
If I am going to read a book on wattpad, is it really worth going straight to the hotlist? Is it worth really reading a book that probably started out as an : "If you read my book, I'll read yours" until the point where people read the book because of the number of reads it has, which isn't right.
This isn't entirely true, I have read plenty of books at the top of the hot list, and been amazed by the quality, and have read them till the end. I've actually found writers that have skill get to the top, and those are the books I take seriously, read, comment, and vote on.
You will never ever ever in a million years catch me voting on a cliche story with no apparent plot, grammar, or sense of what a good book does!!!
What annoys me is that people know that however long they spend on a book, if it's cliche, with a cliche title, then 7/10 times, it will be up there among all the other apparently 'good' books.
Lets just get it straight what I mean by a 'good' cliche book.
Err...
This is how they are usually written:
My name is...and I'm the shy girl. Everybody stays away from me and I'm the only virgin in my year. I have a really bad figure and all the boys don't like me. But for the first time ever, I was invited to a party...
...and I bet you can all guess what happens next in the story...
I.H.A.T.E.C.L.I.C.H.E.S.T.O.R.I.E.S
Does that express my feeling about cliche stories enough for you guys???
Hope so:P

Next chapter:
I will start on this book properly next chapter.
Here's the plan:
I will alternate between paraising a named book, and ranting about bad books in general (although some will specifically be referred to but they will be NAMELESS), because even I think it's too harsh to 'name and shame' people>:( and trust me...thats saying something:P
Next chapter will be praising a good book, name will be in the title, and author in dedication section if you want to go and read it:)
I really would like a cover for this, but as my arty skills are limited (lol), I'd appreciate it if one of you awesome guys decided it wuld be really cool if you made an epic cover for me:P
Try to make it wattpad related as this is a wattpad rant after all! But make it original:)
Bye for now!
Doffypoos
