REALLY WATTPAD? REALLY?

Chapter 50: book descriptions, A/Ns, and grammar

Hey guys! I’m back! Sorry for the wait.

Because I made you guys wait so long, I updated two more chapters of The Forestians. And the first two chapters of Love Again.

Please leave feedback and comments :D

So this chapter is about book descriptions, chapters, and author’s notes. And maybe spelling and grammar.

Book descriptions that make me cringe.

And types of book descriptions.

Please leave comments :D I want to know your thoughts and feelings :D

 

1.       Types of descriptions.

 

a.       No description

This has to be one of the worst things ever. Like, if you want people to read your book. Most people want a description.

b.      “Just read the book!!1111!!! youll lyke it lolz!!!!”

 

Then I read the book and it’s all cruddy. I will not read your book if you put “just read it, you’ll like it” in your description, because those books are usually the ones that no one likes.

c.       Descriptions that basically describe the whole book.

 

Example:

 

Once ShaykahShahkahdodo was walking down the street being stupid and ran into a pole! Oh no! Then, ever since that gosh awful pole practically mugged her on the street, she has had horrible trust issues and nightmares, her life is now horrible, then she meets Harry Styles.

 

 Harry Styles has it all, he’s a millionaire and is suuuuppppeeerrr optimistic, once he figures out how horrible ShaykahShahkadodo’s life has been, he breaks her walls and they fall in love.

 

^^^^^ okay. That description is very stupid, but I practically described the whole book right there. I think you get the point, it kinda spoils the story.

But a description that would probably attract readers. It something like THIS:

Like, in my story “Love Again” the descriptions does say that Harry has had some traumatic things happen to him that made him stop believing in love, and it DOES say that Alejandra will help him learn to love again.

 

But I never said anything about what exactly happened to him, and I never described HOW Alejandra gets him to love again.

Cause: traumatic event

Effect: he’s scared of love.

 

As you can see, the effect in my book is very concerning. Like, being scared of love is. Wow.

And as you can see, I mentioned that there was some traumatic events that happened, but I left the readers hanging by not telling them what it was. It makes people wonder what event happened that caused such a horrible thing. And if that got them hooked and interested, they’ll read the book.
