I automatically leave a story when it starts out, “i wuz 10 wen i fell in LOVEEE.” It literally burns my eyes to read something like that, so one time I asked a person why they would write like that and their answer was, “I’d rather get my story out there quickly and keep my fans interested than waste my time proofreading.”

You know what that tells me? That if you don’t have the time to simply spell out the whole word “when,” you probably don’t have the time to write a decent story with an intriguing plot and developed characters; if you don’t have those, you’ll lose you fans anyway.

Now, I know a lot of people really don’t know how to write so, I’ve made this guide to help out. I’ll be posting chapters on character and plot development, emotion/tone, setting, clichés, and whatever the heck else I can think of, but right now I’ll start with grammar and spelling.

The rambling of a writer by KhiJiupkhi
19 parts Ongoing
[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-
Falling for my Asshole Boss by JeniRaeD
39 parts Complete Mature
Needs editing and will be editing soon Alexis Miller is a 23 year old who is freshly out of college. She was hired right on the spot, when the owner 30 year old Levi Matthews was away on business. When he returns he is shocked to see that he has a different personal assistant. He's very arrogant, intimidating and demanding. Alexis thinks he is one of the biggest assholes she's ever met, but once she gets to know him she see's a side of him that she never thought was possible. Does she fall in love with him? Does he fall in love with her? Who pursues who? PREVIEW: "Tell me this doesn't feel right." As he leans in for another kiss, I let out a soft gasp as my heart is pounding. His kiss so warm and gentle, making me feel week at the knees. His tongue slipping inside my mouth so gentle but yet so demanding. I suddenly feel drunk from his kiss, I feel like I'm melting. He lifts me up carrying me to the bed, gently laying me down. My heart feels like it's going to explode. His body laying on top of mine is satisfying I feel all of him pressed against me. His hands all over me his scent is electrifying, sending jolts all through my body. My fingers run through his hair as they entwine in his hair pressing him harder against mine. He softly grabs my hair pulling my head back for access to my neck. Placing soft kisses along my neck and softly sucking the soft spot behind my ear, as my breathing becomes so erratic.
Prisimpad: A Guide to Wattpad, Writing, and Whatever by Prisim
62 parts Complete
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.

"Can I ask you a question?" Alexander says looking me in the eyes while laying back and holding a blunt. "Mhm, ask away.." I replied curiously, focusing on him. "Are you a virgin?" He says looking me in the eyes. I gulped surprised at the question he just gave me. I nod innocently knowing I'm already blushin' "Yes.." I Answer, "Ye ye." He smirked sitting back inhaling his blunt. I raise my eyebrow confused then he looks back at me. "You can't be a virgin." He says staring at me. "..And why's that?" I question. "Sweetheart, you just walked past me and I'm already hard." I bite my bottom lip, "don't do that.." he trails, eyes dark. "Why.." I say looking him deep in the eyes seeing him tense up. "It does things to me..." he starts, "what things?" I say innocently, He then moves closer to me, takes my hand and puts it on his rock hard dick. I widen my eyes. He comes closer and I could feel his hot breath on my neck, then whispers in my ear, "Bad things..." ••• ⚠️mature content⚠️ ⚠️smut warning⚠️ Finished: 5th September, 2021 <3

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.

I get closer this time. Now I'm directly in his face screaming at him. "WILL YOU FUCKING AN- mmfp." I was suddenly cut off by his lips on mine.

"Are you done princess?" He asked in his dark gravely tone. Dammit if he doesn't stop with this princess thing I think I may fall in love. "Yes, now what the fuck was that for?"

His Name Is Michael by Almie610
31 parts Ongoing Mature
Update: The first rule of writing is to follow through and edit later. I discontinued this book because it was not well written, it was not planned out, and it was not consistent. Therefore I will continue to write it, for the sake of completion and giving Michael an end (in more ways than one) I will finish this. This book is no way indicative how the official rewrite will occur/end. Thank you, dear reader, for entrusting this lonely writer with your imagination and motivation. Enjoy. ORIGINAL NOTE: This is a Discontinued series only because I am in the prospects of rewriting it. This is attempt 5 at writing the book and will live to show the progress in my writing.
