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.

Nod my Head - A Writing Guide for Wattpad Writers
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.Complete

WEREWOLVES 101 - Beginners Guide
This is where I confusingly ramble on and on about Werewolves, but somehow it makes sense. All nerds welcome. This is a safe space, this is a ✨nerd✨ space. Here we talk about all things Werewolves. And I'm going to ramble about random things. After this has finished, I will still add questions and answers to the Q/A because I need something to do in life. So send questions.) In this book I cover: • The world's view on Werewolves • Teen Wolf's view on Werewolves • Wattpads view on Werewolves • My view on Werewolves • Werewolf abilities • Alpha Werewolf Abilities • Mind Links • Mates, Marking, and Mating • Shifting • Clichés • The Wolf • Moon Goddess • Other Supernatural Creatures • Humans and their annoying(or not) roles. • GRAMMAR • Q/A I do not cover Pack Hierarchy in this, because for me that's a whole other matter, I need one whole book for that. It's- this is a wonderful subject that I'm obsessed with(I'm literally SO obsessed with Werewolves it's not a joke.) I'm in my research mode. !Slow Updates! Fun fact: A cats meow is they're way of communicating with people. Cats meow for many reasons- like to say hello, to ask for things, and to tell us when something's wrong. Meowing is an interesting vocalization in that adult cats don't actually meow at each other, just at people. I can vouch for that since my two cats never meowed at each other, just at the humans.Complete
Fanfic Rants And The Rest of Wattpad ↠↠ completed
So I have been on Wattpad for a few years now. I'm on it almost everyday, it's like a drug to me. However, ever since I joined, I have seen the ups and downs of the fanfics and their specific fandoms/series, and Wattpad in general. So what did I do? Start ranting about it of course! There's a lot more like this and I'm just adding one more to the bunch. (SECOND BOOK OUT, it's called Fandom Rants and Opinions! Do check it out for newer rants!)

The Worst Story Ever (Wattpad Cliches)
**A Wattpad Cliche** Cover by @thatcyrusguy I actually love Wattpad. It is a really genius idea. But, I'm sure that I'm not the only one who searches for hours upon hours (okay, ten minutes) searching for that perfect non-cliche book. This is for all aspiring writers who want to know the don'ts (just the don'ts) of writing a wattpad book, and also for anyone who loves it when other people are made fun of. Fall in love with Lana as she stumbles through life as a clueless naive 17-year-old supermodel. Actually, don't fall in love with her. Because if you do, Braxton the guy she might (definitely will) end up with by the end of the story, will freaking kill you. Thank you for reading.
