(Rude version) Y'all suck at writing, so I had decided to do my best to help you nerds.

(Nice version) I've noticed many authors struggle with writing in English, whether it be grammar, spelling, or format. English is a difficult language, and that's coming from a native speaker, so I wanted to help anyone I could with some of the basics. There's no shame in needing a bit of help, and I'm looking half of this stuff up myself, but I wanted to give free and easy access to a learning tool in a format (and on a site) where the authors who need it can reach it with ease. So if you struggle with English, if it's not your first language, if you just want some writing tips, or if you're anywhere in-between, "How to Write Good" is meant for you! I swear a bit, but I think it helps you keep reading a boring topic a bit more when the author also hates how boring it is.

I'll probably never mark this as complete, because there's always something new to learn.

Nod my Head - A Writing Guide for Wattpad Writers by Mindchalk

Do you find yourself writing he nodded, she shook her head, he shrugged, over and over again? It gets tedious, and doesn't help at all when it comes to pin pointing your character's actual emotions. So I've made a book using notes I've been collecting over a few years to help you chose an alternative way to show that your character is angry, or sad, etc, plus many other writing tips and resources. Doesn't, he blinked at his watch, read better than, he looked at his watch ? Doesn't, he slugged across the wet cement, read better than, he walked down the street slowly. Avoid the white room in your story and replace telling with showing to give your readers a much better experience. **** When Alice storms across the room instead of walks, we know she's angry. We're expecting suspense. We're waiting for the next action. Maybe she'l punch a wall? Shout at her friend? Much better than, Alice walked across the room angrily, which gives your reader nothing to imagine.

The Suggestion Box, Vol. 4: A to Z Challenge by KartheyM

Back in June, I decided to take the "A to Z Challenge", which usually involves writing something centered around one word corresponding to each letter of the alphabet. It being a short story challenge, occurring weekly, I decided to "up the ante" to incorporate the rules of a Suggestion Box list (Name, Place, Time, and Object) and turn it into the next iteration of this series! Forthwith, I went through every letter of the alphabet and tried to look back over any previous story that I'd written (except the fanfiction) to find characters whose names began with each letter. Most of the time, I could find a character from a previous Suggestion Box installment (so be sure and check out the referred "original stories", always noted at the beginning of the tale!) but I also took the opportunity to use characters from other unfinished novels, and even a few opportunities for tie-in stories to my published novella, "Princess of Undersea."

Forget-me-not (Klance) by DAzyNation

Keith always had a hard time interacting with others but then he met Lance who always seemed so carefree and compassionate. He pulled Keith out of his little bubble and showed him a world so vibrant he never thought it possible and for the first time he fell in love with this boy, more radiant than the sun, but also, serene like the ocean. Naturally, he was at a complete loss and even more so when he finds out... ...I feel like I overdid this description... This is what happens when I procrastinate... Also just a note I actually started writing this in 2017... I mean, shouldn't be too much of an issue unless you're extremely nitpicky about the most minor details that may have changed with the release of newer seasons not sure because I still need to go back and check what I wrote lol but hey it's an AU as well so anything goes really (kind of)... Yeah... I hope this fic is actually decent, it's the first fic I've ever written but feel free point out any grammatical, spelling etc. errors so I can fix them! (unless you're correcting words spelt correctly in UK English with the American English spelling because in my country we use UK English ?)

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.

[✓ ] Irony. | Kamishiro Rui x GN!Reader. by shihosaki

[READER HAS NO SPECIFIED GENDER, USING THEY/THEM] A rewrite of the other Rui x reader fanfic I wrote in June 2023 because I felt like it could be better in all honesty. UPDATES WILL POSSIBLY COME SLOWLY. Please try to be patient though, it's very much appreciated <3 ^^^^ Literally slowly. I'd be lucky to even post 2 updates a month *maybe.* Update (08/11/24): NEW COVER RAAAHHHHHHHHH ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ -------- After realizing a lot of people didn't read the description on the previous Rui x Reader story, I decided to just put information relating to your character in the first chapter because I figure more people would read it of course (I hope lmao) If you seen the old version of this, you'll probably notice a good bit of plot has changed because it was lowkey really cringe, and the 'conflict' just felt like it was there only for plot. It wasn't ever mentioned again after or even before it, so yeah. Since I want this to be more realistic, there is a high possibility this will be a little more slowburn. Despite the other book having 15 chapters, putting the information together; all of that happens in about ~1 month and a half. Also I felt like Rui was a little OOC too, so you'll notice some changes in his writing possibly. I don't think I have much more to say here so yea.. I hope you enjoy!! -------- Started Writing: March 13th, 2024 (EST) Published: March 14th, 2024 (EST) Concluded: August 15th, 2024 (EST)

Why Me? (ImmortalHD fanfic) by Monstergirl7

I had a lot of free time considering I only get homework from my math teacher and the fact that I dont do it beacuse everyone who has him hates him. So I decided to write! I'm not very good and there might be some spelling mistakes considering I'm not the best speller. So I hope you enjoy my first story! Bye for now.

𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 ♥ by treatmelikeaslutxoxo

idk i get bored easily and i love to write when i get bored so this is what comes out of my boredom. it may not get updated often because i have #adhd and i will have phases where i forget that this exists and then post tons and tons of them, its my hyperfixation. but like i do like to try my best and update alot. there may be quite a few spelling mistakes or bad grammar but i'm dyslexic so i struggle sometimes with my wording and my spelling. i am also very british so if any word sounds british it probably is because i don't really know how american's speak, even though they don't really speak any different to british people lmao anyways i'm gonna stop rambling and just hope that you enjoy these :)

Suddenly you got a call from the headmaster saying that you and your roommates would be having a new roommate and that they would be arriving after lunch. ~Time Skip~ You were playing video games on the couch when you heard a knock on the door. You were confused on why there were knocking on the door because it was Sunday and most of the students were out doing god knows what. Then you suddenly remembered that the headmaster told you that you were having a new roommate today. You opened the door and you see a cute half human half demon boy. "Oh!
