Are you the next JK Rowling or just like to write for fun but would like some tips to improve? Then you've come to the right place. In this guide I will cover everything from title, cover, summary, first chapters, advertising, writers block and more.

Some basic writing tips to help you become a more effective storyteller.

Part guide, part rant. Everything I've learned on writing, from Wattpad, experience, or how-to writing books. Leave requests on the second chapter :)

THANK YOU EVERYONE for reading this sample of Paper Hearts! Due to popular demand, I've turned this into an actual book, which you can buy from all major online retailers.

The Writer's Resource includes guides, lists, and how to's for just about everything! Need a name for your character? Do you need some help on how to write, say, your southern character? The Writer's Resource has everything you need, and if it doesn't simply comment and we will compose something to your liking. ~A source made about writing, for writers.

How do some writers manage to create characters that are so real, you feel like you've met them? Characters that you wish you could hang out with long after you finish the last page, because they're so fascinating, or because they seem to see the world just like you do, or just because they're out there seizing life in a way you wish you could? It's all too easy to create characters that feel flat, stereotyped, and predictable. This book will show you how to create characters that are the opposite: characters that are vibrant, unique, and surprising. It takes you step-by-step through the process of coming up with a character and fleshing it out with details that will bring that character to life. It will help you make sure that your character is believable, that you have clear motivations for his or her decisions and actions--and it will show you how you communicate those motivations to your readers. Most of all, though, this book will help you to have fun taking your character to the next level. I'll update every Friday and will answer any questions you leave in the comments. Please let me know if there's anything in particular you want me to cover! If you find this helpful, I also blog over at www.cherylreif.com to help writers become more productive, more creative, and more skilled at their craft. :) Cheryl

In light of the abundance of "How to get noticed on Wattpad" tips that mainly focused on promoting one's self, sticking to a "TV show" style of updating stories, basically catering to the needs of a larger audience, I've decided to create a writing style based guide book that will really help writers out there to find their own voice and improve their writing to its best potential. This guide book will cover everything, from plot to developing characters to different writing styles. I will also cover positive approaches to dealing with cliches. Not the "avoid this, avoid that" kind of thing; I was thinking looking at a trite plot element and using the "how can I pull this off" approach. After this book has completed, I will be officially coming back to critiquing stories, this time I'll do weekly critiques of three (3) completed books per week. Every book that passes my test (gets a score of 70% or higher) will be featured in a book called "Wattpad's Greatest Hits." Keep in mind that even though I try to come off as objective as possible, I may still be putting tips that are opinion-based. Also, if I happen to miss out any topic that isn't promotion-related, feel free to message me.
