Hello everyone!
I know this part has not been explicitly requested but I've been asked/told so many times "how do you write like that?" And "I wish I could write like you" that I have decided to make a quick guide on 'how 2 write good'.
Enjoy? (I guess)
----------------------------------------------
How 2 write good:
Step 1 - Topic Is key
The first thing to remember when you write is you can't just go straight in. You may as well be swan diving into a jar of treacle, you'll get yourself into a mess that you won't be able to get out of. Before you start to write, make sure you are clear on what you want the chapter to be about. Even making a few plot notes helps. Once you have planned a little (about 5 minutes should do) you'll be amazed by how much more sophisticated your writing appears to read.
Step 2 - synonyms
It may sound trivial, but just opening up a synonym page on google while you are writing really helps. I've often been writing and found that I've used the same adverb twice in a paragraph. It really makes your work seem less thought through. Just take a few seconds to find a synonym (for example, rapidly instead of quickly) and you'll see it really gives your writing a boost.
Step 3 - write what you want to read
Have you ever been reading a characterxreader or an imagines book and thought to yourself "I'd have done that differently if I were them...". THEN DO!! I cannot emphasise enough, if you enjoy reading your own work after you've written it, there is a good chance that others will like it too! As I've said many a time, the only reason I got a wattpad account was to write and read my own work for entertainment. I didn't think a that anyone would actually see it! So, give it a go... You may surprise yourself.
Step 4 - ignore the haters!
Do I even have to explain this?... Some people won't like your work. That's fine! Let them have their opinions. That doesn't mean that they should get you down. Just brush off nasty comments and push through, it'll make you feel a lot better, trust me.
Step 5 - celebrate!
Congrats! U can now write good! Go spread your talent with the world! ❤️
