WARNING: Some of these are harsh truths, so if you aren't a fan of those and instead want to stick to more positive tips, avoid the tips with the * symbol on the chapter, but don't worry, most of these are explained in a more positive light. This is a journal where I write about tips I've discovered myself, received by others, and found on the internet. I recommend reading through this journal especially if you are a writer with ADHD, because I am also a writer with ADHD so I've learned a lot about it. PLEASE: if you see any spelling mistakes or grammar errors please do point them out

I'm here to teach you how to describe a character when you're writing. Please comment if you think that I am missing any descriptions in any of the lists.

Welcome to the wonderful world of writing on Wattpad! This is Wattpad, not the Olympics, so there's no need to panic. Anyone can try it, no training required. Writing doesn't have to be complicated, and you don't have to be a graduate of some fancy university, but there are a few guidelines that will make things easier for you and your readers. I have tips for beginners who paid as little attention in English as I did, as well as details on things I've learned over the years. Anyone can write a story. I never thought I would write anything, but I tried it and - much to my surprise - I found it very relaxing and entertaining. Feel free to skip around the chapters to find sections that interest you. You are also welcome to skim everything in case you find a hidden gem of advice. Please note that my writing tips follow the Chicago Manual of Style writing guide (you are free to use a different guide - keeping things consistent is the biggest thing).

Discover some of the writing tips from Wattpad Star and formerly featured author of 'Trapped'. I have completed my share of beta reads and critiques for new authors on and off Wattpad and many of the points I have noted are often repeats - something that I used to find in my own writing as well, but have stopped (or tried to stop) over the years. It's hard starting out, but it's even harder when no one points out your mistakes. I hope you will find this guide useful to detect some of those problem areas and pick up tips on how to avoid common mistakes. Writing is an art and takes practice. There is no corner cutting - you can only improve if you keep at it. Interested? Well, then let's explore some of the common traps I've seen...
