1 MONTH TO GET 1,000 READS 'How to: Get More Reads On Wattpad' was one of the first books I ever made on this account, and since then I have people coming to me every week asking how to boost their reads. You see there's no exact science behind it, but there sure are some things you can do to speed up the process. That's why I set myself the challenge of making a brand-spanking new account with the goal of achieving 1,000 reads on a new book and 100 followers...all in one month. [This challenge was carried out between 25.10.18 - 24.11.18.]

People will tell you writing is hard. That's a load of crap. Anyone with a pencil can scrawl a line of graphite across a page and call themselves a writer. Does that mean anyone can be an author? No. Only people who are willing to sacrifice their time and energy will cross the line that transforms an adjective (writing) into a noun (author). What's so effing hard about it? Joining one word to the next in such a way that it draws the reader through your story, evokes their primal emotions, and leaves them satisfied is a process not unlike walking on freshly scattered Legos. The necessary skill takes practice, time, effort, persistence, and a set of standards that reaches beyond the scope of your average layperson. The effort shakes your ego like a dog with a chew toy. It's the curse and the glory of the writer. In the beginning, every story is bad and stupid and the first part of improving it is recognizing how far you still have to go. That's the deepest, darkest secret to nailing down this writing stuff: knowing when it sucks, and sticking with it until it doesn't. Will you find solutions within these pages? No. I am not a brilliant author who can give you a step-by-step plan to improve your skill, but if you want to learn to write with competence and you're trying to figure out how to start I can set you on the path. I know this because I'm on it too. I know it's the right one because my standards are growing faster than my skill. Step inside for a very candid, very blunt look at becoming a better writer, and I promise you, I virtually guarantee, that you will improve at least a little, and all you have to do is invest the time it takes to consider my words and intelligently apply them.

Ok so I like to think of random titles for just random stories that I will probably never create since I'm probably the worst writer ever and the least creative of anyone, lol. So I wanted to share them with whoever is reading this that needs help with story titles. Feel free to comment which ones you like and which you're using because I'd love to read your guys's stories. Also, don't forget to vote and answer the questions, much love. Btw there might be some repeats, feel free to let me know so I can make up a new one (: (BOOK 1 OF 2) #108 in Random - 11/10/17 #99 in Random - 11/27/17 #69 in Random - 12/10/17 #2 in Title - 12/19/18 #35 in Ideas - 12/24/18

Extra, extra, read all about it! Have you heard? I'm giving out writing tips. Whether or not you actually pick up some writing tips is up to you. Hold on. Please don't run away screaming yet. I promise I'll be nice. Cover by @southofparadise

[ON HOLD] Nobody will ever know how incredible your book is if they don't read it. And for that you need a hook. A unique opening line that touches the core of the story, that temptingly hints to what they'll find inside, that compels your reader to read on. Here are ten tips to hook your reader and get more reads.

For all you amateur writers on Wattpad that want to write a smashing book. Here are the top tips. There are four different sections in here: PLOT - anything incredibly relevant to a book. The backbone. Everything that, usually, you always need. LANGUAGE - here covers common grammatical errors, punctuation, vocabulary etc. HOW TO - this is broad range of things, idea, facts that may be relevant to your story e.g. guns, representation, romanticism etc. AU/WRITING PROMPT - these two sections cover ideas, settings, dialogues that may kickstart your writing process. This is a collection of advice I have found online and my own advice. Feel free to comment anything you want to see or find out!

I managed to get to #1 on Wattpad for Fantasy as well as Adventure in a month and a half. After four months, I had 1 Million reads and a year later I had 5 million. I worked really hard and have been very lucky, but I'm sure that following these simple rules helped a lot!
