The Art of Writing: How to Write Bestselling Novels
[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***Complete

Hidden Poetry
A world of poems captured in a single book, written by a girl who played every role: the academic achiever, the loyal friend, the eldest daughter, and more. She was always the one chosen for the top rank, yet she was never the one chosen by love. This collection is a bridge across the years, composed of verses that trace a haunting evolution where the innocent wonders of childhood slowly sharpen into the cold realizations of the real world. Yours truly, RosePoet (Note: These entries are not arranged in chronological order; however, I have included dates to serve as a guide to navigate the journey through time.)

The Ballad Of an Ignorant Heart
"Love is the opus of fallacies and beauty" Smryna Roy is everything a teenager shouldn't be-eccentric, harsh, and yet, she has soft edges. She didn't think that moving into a new school would be hard-how bad could it be, after all? She also didn't think much about the bus rides she shared with a single person of her age. Arin Vaidya is everything a teenager should be-sporty, cocky, strange in a charismatic manner, and yet, he has a soft, unguarded surface beneath. He didn't mind changing schools-it would be an adventure. However, he was quite disappointed when he saw his bus mates: an eccentric girl, and a few unremarkable kids. He didn't think much of it. They never planned to become friends-really, they planned never to talk at all. But boredom is said to be the mother of procreation. Slowly, but surely, a strange bond bloomed between them. Smryna never anticipated that this year, she would get a boyfriend. This year, she would get her heart broken. Arin never thought he would enjoy the company of a certain girl, but when he loses her, something feels unmistakably wrong.

SERVANT OF EVIL | Evillious Chronicles | 1
Most of the time he wasn't sure whether he was entirely going insane; or if he is missing her and he had simply been truly dying of heartbreak; but even now, he could see the face of his sister just looking at him with her eyes, beeming a light, almost loving smile at him. Her blonde hair had moved gently in the coming wind of the storm. He hadn't heard her genuine voice in such a long time either; though sometimes, he could have sworn he'd heard her whisper to him and felt her caress his hair. He'd thought of how she had probably changed, whether it was for bad or for good; that hadn't mattered to him nearly at all. He just wanted to see her. Alexiel had felt physical pain somewhere on the left side of his chest at the mere thought of looking straight inside her eyes again. Then again, he didn't even know if he would be allowed to hug her when he meets her; it had been such an awfully long amount of time since the last time after all. He'd almost already felt how his arms were wrapping all around her all over again, beginning to hold her tight in his brotherly grasp. Alexiel didn't realize that his hand was really going through his own hair, as he invisioned caressing her locks instead, and suddenly he'd gasped slightly. "I'll be seeing you soon, my dear sister," Alexiel had whispered in his current raspy voice into his room, just motionlessly staring at the dark ceiling.
