Ah, SPAG. Even the word itself is enough to bring back the horrors of High School English lessons, but spelling punctuation and grammar are the absolute backbone of any piece of writing. I know that I'm not alone when I say that if the first Chapter of a book I was reading was riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes, I wouldn't carry on to the second. 

Grammar can be pesky sometimes, so it's better to be sure of something before you post it. My advice would be to download a spelling/ grammar checker, such as Grammarly (which is totally free don't worry I'm not trying to scam you). It picks up any spelling or grammar mistakes you may have made and highlights them clearly before you post anything. 

If you don't want to download anything, consider writing your chapter on a programme with a built-in spellchecker, e.g. Microsoft Word, and then copy and pasting it onto Wattpad.
