This book can help you achieve your dreams of awesome writing. Good luck! (i.e) • How to MAKE THE PERFECT CHARACTER • How to WRITE A KISS SCENE, • How to GRAMMAR • How to WRITE IN MALE POV

Prisimpad: A Guide to Wattpad, Writing, and Whatever by Prisim

I will no longer be updating this guide. I'm leaving it up in case it will continue to be helpful to anyone in the future. People have asked me writing tips, Wattpad tips, and whatever. This is some of that advice I give them. Keep in mind most of this is my opinion in addition to things other people have taught me to do and not to do. 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.
