It's an arduous, difficult process. Especially so when writing a fully-fledged novel with several hundred pages worth of content that you have to sit down and somehow create something from nothing. Even though one of the laws of science is that you cannot create something from nothing, when it comes to artforms like writing, that is exactly what you're doing. But writing is an art form like no other. Because unlike painting or drawing, you have to use words to potentially describe something that no other living individual has ever laid their eyes upon, or even thought about imagining. It's a daunting task for anyone. So, about writing. This book originated from my visits to the "Improve Your Writing" sections of the community in Wattpad and I, being the introvert I am, had no idea how to enter the conversation like a normal person, so instead I decided to write an all-out piece of advice that I couldn't bring myself to send. As a result, I decided to publish this book to sort it all out instead of just deleting the messages I never sent forever. Feel free to leave behind any suggestions and questions you have that you'd like me to answer!

This is a collection of essays I have published in various journals or on Medium. These are writing tips that have been of help to me as a novelist and speculative poet. By reading them, you can get a feel for what I offer as a writing coach to the poets and authors I mentor.

Do you need help with punctuation? Are you worried you don't know where to put commas and where capitals? Do you need help with dialogue? Well, here you'll find it! I'll try to explain things the best I can, providing examples as well. There seems to be a lot of demand for this, and I might as well give it a nice format too. :)

Does the term NaNoWriMo mean anything to you? If you're a writer-especially a young writer-who's been online for the past 15 years, then it probably does. In 2009, I set out to finally achieve my goal of writing a novel. The premise behind National Novel Writing Month, founded in 1999 by Chris Baty, is to write 50,000 words by the end of the designated month, which is always November. Although I won the competition (along with hundreds, if not thousands, of others), my novel was still incomplete, life happened, and I abandoned my novel as a result. Five years later, I began the journey to resurrect and complete it. Here's my story. (Complete with updates from my 2015 NaNoWriMo journey!) From the author of Blind Date (http://www.wattpad.com/story/36048935) and Proof (http://www.wattpad.com/story/35769093)

I will no longer be updating this guide. I'm leaving it up in case it will continue to be helpful to anyone in the future. People have asked me writing tips, Wattpad tips, and whatever. This is some of that advice I give them. Keep in mind most of this is my opinion in addition to things other people have taught me to do and not to do. It is by no means 100% to be followed but only a guide to get you thinking. The beauty of writing is that there is no one correct answer. We each learn and adapt to our own personal styles.

BEFORE YOU PUBLISH ANYTHING, READ THIS FIRST! Tips, tricks, clichés, and cheats on how to build up your stories and maximize your potential. Don't get discouraged. This book covers info I wish I had known when I first joined Wattpad.

Lots of tips, advice, and personal opinions await you - including everything thing I've done to promote my own Watty's finalist and winning stories - but only if you turn the page. Reader testimonial by @AyushiPandey-- 'I read your guide for Wattpad success when I first started writing my story last year in August, and now it has been an entire year when I stumbled upon it again. I just have to say, I loved reading it again, it has the best tips one can find (take it from me, I have read many, many guides here). Thank you so much for taking out your time to compile such an amazing book!' Reader testimonial by @suspishfishy-- 'I have to thank you again! As soon as I wrote a book that focused on what I wanted to write, instantly people started to read my books and give me feedback!' **THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO ADVERTISE YOUR STORY.
