Tips to help you when thinking about writing on Wattpad

Choose your writing method. Think about how you want to write your book. As technology develops, the number of choices becomes greater and greater. You will need to choose a method which works best for you but keep in mind that it may affect how you go about publishing your work.

 •You can write the text with a pen and paper, type on a typewriter, type on a computer, or use a software program which records your voice as you talk and translates it into typed text. Different methods work best for different people.

Find a writing space. You will need an acceptable space, which allows you to work without interruption. It will need to accommodate your chosen writing method and be comfortable and not distracting. Common options include a coffee house, office, or library. (For me its at my grandparents house, no one bothers me.)

You will want to be sure that you do not become distracted while writing so have everything you may need. Many people develop a specific thing, which they cannot write without, such as a particular food or sitting at a particular chair. (For me is lots of water and music.) Make sure that these needs are met before continuing.

Understand your writing habits. Get to know yourself and how you write. Do you write better at a specific time of day or in a specific place? Maybe you write best after you finish reading someone else's book. Knowing how you write can tell you about how you should proceed and what you should avoid; you can build your writing schedule around the habits you know yourself to have.

Write at the same time. Once you decide what time of day works best for you and form some kind of writing schedule, stick to that schedule. Have a time that is only for writing and always write during that time. You can use it to free-write or plan your novel, but you should always use the time for writing. This will help you get into the habit and be more productive.

Work through writer's block. It can sometimes become difficult to write, but you should not stop and ignore the problem. This often leads to unfinished books. Do things to inspire yourself and continue to work, even though it is slow and much more difficult. You can always return to a section later when you feel more inspired.
