Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Part 2 of 100 Things. For those of you who've missed Part 1 (mainly dealing with the creation and sustaining of tension), you can find it here: http://www.wattpad.com/story/17586435-100-things-you-should-know-about-writing-part-1 Part 2 will mainly be about the craft of writing, or as I like to think about it, How to Be a Writer. I will however, veer off on tangents to answer questions or just because I want to, but I hope to be informative every time I do so. Cover image Copyright Misha Gerrick 2015 All Rights Reserved

Part 3 of 100 Things You Should Know About Writing will mainly feature writing technique, but I'm due to veer off on some other writing-related tangent. I'll make sure to keep things informative, though.

I'll show you how to improve your story with just a few tips and exercises. Writing a novel can be confusing, especially if you're new to it. Even if you're a pro at writing, it still helps to be refreshed. This is my way to help you. Hopefully it WILL help in your journey as a writer, and if you have questions, please ask me. I'll address topics such as: ~The five senses ~Believable characters ~Improving first drafts ~Plot twists ~Dialogue ~Descriptions ...And much more. Oh, and one more thing before you begin reading. I know there are a lot of chapters, and a ton of content, but don't overwhelm yourself! Try starting off with a couple topics you know you could improve on, work on those, and then read a couple more. If you read all of these chapters at once it may be a bit too much to take on! So take your writing journey as slow as you need, and work on it one step at a time.

The advice you will find here follows the Chicago Manual of Style which is widely used by American publishers. There are some variances in style from country to country (and even from American publisher to American publisher.) **It may be easier to search the Table of Contents, as there is no rhyme or reason right now to chapter order.**

Warning: This book WILL make you successful on Wattpad! Are you an unknown author wanting to gain success on Wattpad? Tried everything and you're still unnoticed? Hi, I'm Mike Limjoco and I've done it all on Wattpad. I have hit a million reads on two of my books, and I've made it to the first page of the Hot List in five categories, including a dual #1 in Sci/Fi and Fantasy, two of Wattpad's toughest genres. I was also a finalist in the 2013 Watty Awards, and my book Kuro has been selected as a Featured Story on Wattpad where it was on the front page of Wattpad for a month. And I did it all in less than a year! This book has actually produced several #1 books from authors who were previously unknown. Don't believe me? Read the success stories and hear from fellow authors in this book! Read the comment sections to see actual case studies from other authors who have had success. Bottom line, this book works. Try it if nothing else has worked for you. You might just be surprised to find your book sitting on the first page of the Hot List ;)
