Okay, I can understand that some people aren't very fluent with English. If so, say that in your author's note. Write something similar to this:
"I'm sorry if my writing is kind of hard to understand! Some of my grammar and spelling isn't correct because I am not very good at English. I apologize!
~insert username here"
If your not very fluent with your language, but you don't put that in an author's note or in the comments section, I will just accuse you of not caring. I normally am not a judge mental person, but a lot of people just don't care on WattPad.
There really aren't a whole bunch of excuses for it. If you use a computer to write, there is spell check. If you use a mobile device, there is auto-correct. Now I understand that auto-correct can sometimes give you the wrong word. That's why you revise your chapters.
If you write really long chapters, it may take a while, but it is well worth your time! Trust me. I'll give you an example:
One time I wrote "just a sec," but it auto-corrected to "just a sex." I published it without revising, and I noticed it when I read it later. Embarrassing, right?
Do you want that to happen to you? Exactly. That's why it is so very important to revise. I cannot stress this enough. Remember, "15 minutes could save you fifteen percent or more." Sorry, that was kind of random, but you get my point.
Moral of story: revise
(A/N) Thank you for reading! Please vote & comment! (If you want to.) Oh, and sorry for the short chapter. I love you all!
