Have you noticed things that writer’s do that bug the heck out of you and make you want to rip your hair out? Well, I have.
When writing a book or story, there are some things that you should not do. These things make a reader want to either want to stop reading, or repeatedly hit themselves on the head with a baseball bat. No one wants to read a book that they are mentally editing and fixing.
I am here to provide a readers point-of-view on some major Turnoffs and annoying habits that some writers have and do.

The rambling of a writer
[Me, complaining and contradicting all and everything written in every fanfiction created.] No hate, Just me, rambling about different topics in Fanfiction writing. Why? Because we all start somewhere, am I right? The good, the bad, the rightout clichès and the straight up delulu stuff. Note that I probably did most -if not all- of these things myself when writing, so be prepared of your beautiful cringefest and maybe learn a thing or two about writing a plot/story. Side note: Writing is a creative process, so... no shame in making any mistakes! We all have to start from somewhere! Side side note: Most of the things I talk about come either from my personal opinion OR from the things I've learned over the years. I've been writing since age ten and even did a Minor in creative writing whilst studying for my degree. Last side side side note: The fun is to read these chapters and then visit a random story on wattpadd. I guarentee you, you'll either groan in annoyance ance you can see these things or you giggle at how predictable things will get once you know some writer mistakes. It's all fun and it educates all of us! -xXx-

Nod my Head - A Writing Guide for Wattpad Writers
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.Complete
Write Better: Tips and tricks
The guide for aspiring fiction writers who want to improve, sharpen, review, and/or learn. Warning! This book encourages editing and contains many tips that often require revision. Practice makes perfect, and it's good to workout your mental muscles. The more you do now, the better your writing will be later (because you'll correct yourself *before* you get it on paper). If you think your writing is perfect or you're lazy or unwilling to try new shoes on your baby, just turn away now. You'll find this guide about as useful as hoarding frozen peas.

TFP Parent Preferences
Here is the sequel to my TFP Dating Preferences. This book is strictly meant to be read with a 17+ years old POV. There isn't any mature content, but you (the reader) are the wife/mother in this story and I don't promote underage relationships or pregnancy. IMPORTANT NOTE!: You're only in a relationship with ONE character, not all at the same time, meaning that each relationship is basically in an alternate universe of its own. This is one of my older books, so it wasn't proof read or edited.Complete

Ask Nico di Angelo | √
This is an ask book where you can comment different question/challenges to me, the lovely little Italian Death Angel. Send me questions on anything you would like to know; I'll do my best to answer them. (Please refrain from super sexual anything because I am a fifteen year old virgin gay boy in his first ever relationship.) I will also be adding random thoughts and ideas that come to my head, but they won't come as often as ask answers. Thank you, Nico di Angelo.Complete
