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.

A Loser's Thoughts on Life
//Highest Ranking: Number 45 in Non-Fiction// Hate is a strong word. I know that, that's why I use it. If you've ever been annoyed by stereotypes, character names, or just people in general, you have come to the right place: a collection of rants where I share my opinion, spill my thoughts, and connect with all you fellow Losers! Love is another strong word. Again, that's why I use it. There's enough hate in this world, and that's why I decided to include a few things that I love in this book as well. There's one hundred parts to read, so what are you waiting for? xoxo Emmalynn Original Cover Idea: SurroundedbyThorns Revised Cover: blackbixdComplete

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.
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-

So, I start writing books, get about 4-5 chapters in and then get distracted. Instead of leaving them to die, here you go.
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
