Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Part 2 of 100 Things. For those of you who've missed Part 1 (mainly dealing with the creation and sustaining of tension), you can find it here: http://www.wattpad.com/story/17586435-100-things-you-should-know-about-writing-part-1

Part 2 will mainly be about the craft of writing, or as I like to think about it, How to Be a Writer. I will however, veer off on tangents to answer questions or just because I want to, but I hope to be informative every time I do so.

The Art of Writing: How to Write Bestselling Novels by Cephyr13

[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***

Thoughts by raymac_eric

*** A Wattpad Featured Collection *** Dreams. Imagination. Emotions. These are what this book emodies. The stories here will be centered on these three pillars. Pillars that can open up the world we live in to something better than what we know. And nothing can define the world better than the Thoughts we have everyday. Here's a couple of mine :) ............................................................................................................................... This book is a collection of short stories written to inspire, facilitate, and maybe even motivate, anyone out there with something to say about life. A story is a gift best shared than received. Amazing cover was done by @KRosalle. She's truly an amazing person🙌 (The Creativity Awards Runner's Up ✌😊) (The S.S.P.R 3rd place Random Winner✌😊) (The Rose Awards 1st place Short Story Winner✌😊) (The Pen and Ink January Quote Awards 2nd Place Winer✌😊) (Featured in Wattpad Short Stories Reading List "Boxed Sets" ✌️😊) *I'm climbing the ladder here haha*

Expanded Horizons: Beyond the Blue by ThetaObelusGamma

The world consists of far more than a few people, and far more than just what you see of them now. All characters have a past, a story, some piece of themselves hidden by time that makes clear who they are today. These hidden aspects can be revealed by more than just their stories, too; sometimes, what happens off-screen is even more important than what's on display. Follow me through the world our heroes and villains inhabit and see just how far we can go together! -This is all backstory and world-building for the Freelands of Into That Wild Blue Yonder (https://www.wattpad.com/story/214070883-into-that-wild-blue-yonder). Just around 50K words. -I also wrote up a brief encyclopedia with general world info here (https://www.wattpad.com/story/216689041-a-brief-encyclopedia-of-the-reimagined-world). Contains no spoilers.

Storm Of Pain by fictionlover20040228

Have you ever seen your life flash before your eyes? Seen all the good memories with you and your friends and loved ones just pass in a few split seconds before the moment comes where you know you'll die? Where you determine if it's going to be a quick or slow and painful death? Well then, same. I risk my life on a daily bases saving others, strangers, kids, families, anyone my team and I can help ranging from terrorist attacks to bombs to pretty much anything. The training that I received a few years ago allows me to do that, it allows me to be the best person that I can be, if I could go back to the day I joined the military I wouldn't change a single thing; the only thing I would've changed in my journey is to have looked after her better. To have kept her safe. But life had other plans with both of us... ***** All ideas in this book are thought of by me. Nothing has been based of another book. If something is the same as another's, it purely coincidental. *Don't copy from my book *Don't report my book because of a few violent scenes *My book is copyrighted. If I found out you copied my book, I will report you. *Remember to vote and comment

Forbidden Seduction | 18+ | by Author_ida

Book 1 of #Forbidden series I don't know how many days I have to spend in this house. People said home gives us peace and a sense of safety but not in my case, my home no this is not my home, this is house where I lives. My parents is most lovable person in the world but not for me. Every cell in my scream that no one in the world loves me but my stupid heart believes that somewhere in this world will give me peace. But question is where? I don't know. _________________________________________________________________________________ I am most merciless man in my world. No one dares to speak in front of me. In my life I hate two things first trust second love. These two are only words which people easily accept that but not for me in my world these are most risky things. I also hate lies and betrayals, whoever betrays me and lies to me I bury them 5 feet inside the land. _________________________________________________________________________________ How will they believe each other? How will they trust each other? How will they love each other? Do you think their story is happy ending or sad? I don't know. Let's see what will happen? Warning ⚠️- This story is only for 18+.
