I am SomeGuy. People have enjoyed reading my chapters across all my fics for some reason, and I saw that a handful of my readers were people either interested in writing or already writers, so I decided to make this to help everyone else out.
I'm not a professional writer though, and some of these things might not apply to you, so take some of my tips with a grain of salt.
Writing isn't as easy as people think, and I would know, 'cause I thought this would be easier than it actually turned out being. I've been writing for a few years now, but it's still hard at times, and it probably won't get any easier. I doubt this book will change much for you, but I still want to make life easier even by a little bit.
This will include writing advice, tips and stuff. Let's cook together, chat.

Warriors - Burnt Skies
A fire. Caused by twolegs. And suddenly Nightpaw's entire life as she knows it has changed. The four clans that had ruled the territories for centuries have been wiped out. Now the future for any sort of clan rests in the paws of four apprentices. They will need to find a new territory, a new place to communicate with StarClan and, most importantly, cats to form a clan with. Will they survive? This story is set many moons after the great cats during Firestar's time were around. Also, any arcs after the first arc did not happen. DISCLAIMER I do not own warrior cats (Erin Hunter does), this is just a fanfic I made based off it. However, the plot idea and the characters belong to me so don't steal them. Like all warrior cats stories, there is an element of gore in it. You have been warned.

A Guide to Writing
Ok, so I know that there are a lot of these books out there on Wattpad. The reason I decided to write this book was because I found it hard to find actual guidelines on the internet for this kind of stuff. So I put together what I learned from many authors so this is basically a rant/rule book for the way I would qualify as good writing.

ThicketClan's Destiny 1: Bramblenight's Kits
Working title, ok? THIS STORY IS BEING EDITED! I promise they'll actually call it the Mossrock this time guys! Editing complete! I think... Disclaimer: Warriors is NOT mine, nor will I claim it. The characters, clans and place are all my idea but the customs and ideas are not mine (except the plot, that's mine as well but still. UGH! BASICALLY WARRIORS WAS NOT MY IDEA. THERE. MUCH LESS HEADACHE-INDUCING). Warriors is by Erin Hunter (who is more than one person if I remember correctly). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Wrong and right will fight each other. Trees will kill the storm. Leaves will try to save another. And only night will see their true form..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bramblenight is just a normal warrior. And he wishes to keep it that way. But when his Clan - and more importantly, his leader - are threatened by StreamClan and ForestClan, he has to help his Clan to keep them out of their territory. Though StarClan has plans for him, too, and when he starts getting dreams about five unknown kits, he starts to wonder if maybe he's part of something bigger than he wants to be. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Words: About 31,000 Started: February 23, 2024 Finished: June 20, 2024 Fully Published: October 21, 2024 THIS STORY IS FINISHED! DON'T WORRY! Chapters are published every Thursday at 11am Eastern Time (ET or EST I think) Sorry if the chapters are out of order! Wattpad's being weird and I can't fix it. Hopefully they're in order for you guys 'cause I can't tell!Complete
How to write like a Pirate, Get readers, and other inspirational crap
I get asked a lot for advice so I'm going to sum up all of it here. So sit down, shut up, and don't go anywhere because this book will change your life. Or at least it better, otherwise you're probably doing something wrong. I'll cover things like: General Advice on being a better Writer or anything really. Why you aren't getting any reads, and how to get more. Tips, life lessons, and what I learned the hard way. How to be a good reader and why that matters. How to fix basic problems about your story to help it get noticed. Basic advice on Tags, cover, description. I'll talk about things you may not even know you are doing wrong yet. What it means to be a Pirate as a writer and why you should be one too. And I'll update more as needed. Generally, it's a bunch of stuff that's not always obvious or you didn't think about at first. Lessons that I discovered through a long painful process of trial and error. Everything may not be exactly right in everyone's eyes, but nobody's perfect. Be aware, this book may both change your life for the better and unapologetically attack you on a personal level at the same time. Because how can you know what to fix if you didn't know what is broken? You can write. You can be a writer, novice or professional. And maybe you are simply failing in some way because nobody told you what-not-to-do yet. Let me tell you. Let me break you down and build you up so that you can succeed. But I can't help you if you don't let me. So give me that chance and read this from start to finish.Complete
Warriors Cats Clichés
A phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought. So now to make a book about unoriginal thoughts. Makes sense. And note, this isn't meant to embarrass anyone but a "guide". This was planned for fanfics but some might relate to the canon books. IDK *** I am currently adding my personal thoughts to these!Complete
RotG/GoC Fanfiction Writing Tips
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.Complete
Prisimpad: A Guide to Wattpad, Writing, and Whatever
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.Complete
