author book guide help howto nonfiction novel random tips tricks write writing

Has your imagination been running wild but your brain just can't get the details on paper? Are your stories lacking just a little something that you can't put your finger on? Do you look up at the professionals and go, "man, what are they doing that I'm not?" Well, have I got the solution for you. This is a series I will be writing for the betterment of the Wattpad community and for writers in general, for all of your questions about how to improve your storytelling. I'm here to break down and analyze every literary element, trope, genre, and bad writing advice for your benefit and explain why they do - or don't - work. 
Do note that I won't deliver any advice on finding inspiration or motivational speeches for the soul or stuff like that. This will be almost purely analytical.

Feel free to make suggestions about what I should talk about in the comments!

RotG/GoC Fanfiction Writing Tips by CaetlynoftheStars

If you've been looking for some writing advice specific to the RotG/GoC fandom and/or fanfiction in general, you're in luck! I rewrote my Wattpad guide from years ago to make it better. This guide includes information about things like centers, fandom-specific clichés, and titles and descriptions. *** All follows, votes, and comments are greatly appreciated. :) Critiques, constructive criticism, and reviews are also welcome and encouraged, as long as they aren't something purely hateful like "u suck". Take note of the word "constructive". I also posted this guide on DeviantArt and Quotev under accounts of the same username as the one I have on this website. Disclaimer: I don't own "Rise of the Guardians" (© DreamWorks Animation) or the Guardians of Childhood series (© William Joyce) that it was based off of.

This is one of those Wattpad rants. I'm going to point out all of the things that are really, really... not-so-good here.

The rambling of a writer by KhiJiupkhi

[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-
