MATURE PEOPLE WANT TO READ MATURE BOOKS WITH CORRECT CONVENTIONS: SPELLING AND GRAMMAR. If you want to publish, please take the spelling and grammar seriously. No one wants to buy a book filled with mistakes. I have requested refunds because if I am spending my money to purchase something I am hoping to enjoy, I prefer for it to be as perfect as possible. With that said.... I decided to start adding spelling and grammar tips along the way. I've been thinking about this for a bit and I know how time consuming it is to upload daily so I will try to add tips as I come across errors while reading stories on Wattpad. I am pretty sure there will be errors I miss and some that I won't even comment on so don't bite my head off. I am by no means a grammar or spelling expert so I am prepared for the criticisms. P.S. Please don't take offense to what I add. Disclaimer: I am by no means a grammar and/or spelling expert.

Do you find yourself writing he nodded, she shook her head, he shrugged, over and over again? It gets tedious, and doesn't help at all when it comes to pin pointing your character's actual emotions. So I've made a book using notes I've been collecting over a few years to help you chose an alternative way to show that your character is angry, or sad, etc, plus many other writing tips and resources. Doesn't, he blinked at his watch, read better than, he looked at his watch ? Doesn't, he slugged across the wet cement, read better than, he walked down the street slowly. Avoid the white room in your story and replace telling with showing to give your readers a much better experience. **** When Alice storms across the room instead of walks, we know she's angry. We're expecting suspense. We're waiting for the next action. Maybe she'l punch a wall? Shout at her friend? Much better than, Alice walked across the room angrily, which gives your reader nothing to imagine.
