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.

Friends & Foe's (COMPLETED)
*THIS BOOK HAS BEEN COMPLETED* When four crazy best friends set out for Uni, fate has something else in store. When they messed with the wrong crowd, embarrassed themselves with some cringe worthy moments. Pretty much everything else went downhill from there. From broken hearts to drama queens. They probably wished they got jobs at target instead... Just a reminder: ( There are 3 people altogether writing this book....) - This book contains a lot of swear words... - First ever Wattpad book we have published. (So don't judge!) - Sorry for any mistakes, we try changing them as soon as we find them. - This book is quiet cliche... - It has been completed!!! - Anddd finally..... ENJOY!! ZMS XXXComplete

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!)

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

Wattpad Cliches
Let's face it. The majority of stories on Wattpad are the same and it's not just the plots but practically everything. The same characters, the same tragic backgrounds, the same openings, the same ways of describing things, the same plots- everything. Here I'll name some things I've seen in most of the stories on here so maybe your story won't end up a clone of endless clones. If you see any spelling mistakes, just comment it below and I'll fix it.Complete
