Nod my Head - A Writing Guide for Wattpad Writers by Mindchalk

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.

It is by no means 100% to be followed but only a guide to get you thinking. The beauty of writing is that there is no one correct answer. We each learn and adapt to our own personal styles.

A Loser's Thoughts on Life by emmalynn22

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: blackbixd
