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.

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
