The Art of Writing: How to Write Bestselling Novels by Cephyr13
34 parts Complete
[New chapter posted every Friday] Would you like to learn how to draw your readers in with your blurb and your opening lines so that they feel they have to keep reading to find out what happens next? Would you like to learn how to craft characters who are so interesting and real that your readers would love to be them and can't help but go through the story with them? Would you like to learn how to craft sentences, paragraphs, and chapters that keep your readers enthralled? Would you like to learn how to prevent writer's block? The Art of Writing will teach you all of these skills and more--everything you need to write a bestseller. You've probably noticed that your first and second chapters have lots of reads, but the chapters after that have very few reads or votes. You can partially blame that on people clicking on the first chapter just to take a quick glance at it and maybe add it to their reading list. But that explanation only goes so far for most Wattpadders. The real reason is more likely that your story isn't written in such a way that really draws a readers in, almost forcing them to keep reading. But you can give your story that edge it needs to become great just by following a few easy guidelines and learning some key techniques for success. In fact, if you haven't already noticed, some of those techniques are being used in this description to give you just enough information about something you want in order to get you hooked. And your stories should do the same. Wattpad is full of writers who have great story ideas but very little training in the skills required to craft an amazing story that really sucks a person in. Which means we end up with endless stories that promise amazing plots but can't deliver on that promise. Not to worry, though. We're about to change all of that. So get ready to learn the skills you need to write a binge-worthy bestseller. ***NOTE: If there's a skill you'd like me to write a chapter about, just let me know***

23 parts Ongoing
Idk why I chose this name... ANYWAY My first story on Wattpad, it's a TBATE fan fiction and will probably have big spoilers, so I recommend reading the whole series first (available on TAPAS, TurtleMe's Patron, or Kindle) 10+ for language, violence Ship determined - OC Top 5 Rankings - January 2025 87/16.1k in Magical 1/12/25 (Might??? be 60/16.2k, wattpad is being very sus. - 2/9/25) 61/7.11k in Lightnovel 1/12/25 470/48.1k in Action-Adventure 1/12/25 9/967 in progression 2/9/25 11/752 in Scythes 2/9/25 And of course, we give the 'Confusing Rankings' award to Wattpad, for displaying my story as 60th place in magical, but ranking it at 88th. YOOOO WE GOT A COVER! Ty to https://wallpaperaccess.com/tbate for the cover (free) SPOILER WARNING: It starts at Arthur's Father's death And lots of stuff will be changed TurtleMe created TBATE, everything other than OC's and original parts of the story belong to him Copyright ©️ 2024, All rights reserved (the parts that are mine) This description is way too long, So let's get into the story! (Sorry I don't have a cover) 05/06/2025 - Legend here, and I'd just like to say, thanks a lot for sticking with me through this journey. It started like, in September of last year, just a small thing I wanted to do, but now it has almost 3k views which is insane. Small warning, the chapters at the beginning might be of lower quality than later, but please consider reading the whole thing. We're not done yet!

Storm Of Pain

30 parts Complete Mature

Have you ever seen your life flash before your eyes? Seen all the good memories with you and your friends and loved ones just pass in a few split seconds before the moment comes where you know you'll die? Where you determine if it's going to be a quick or slow and painful death? Well then, same. I risk my life on a daily bases saving others, strangers, kids, families, anyone my team and I can help ranging from terrorist attacks to bombs to pretty much anything. The training that I received a few years ago allows me to do that, it allows me to be the best person that I can be, if I could go back to the day I joined the military I wouldn't change a single thing; the only thing I would've changed in my journey is to have looked after her better. To have kept her safe. But life had other plans with both of us... ***** All ideas in this book are thought of by me. Nothing has been based of another book. If something is the same as another's, it purely coincidental. *Don't copy from my book *Don't report my book because of a few violent scenes *My book is copyrighted.
