Part 3 of 100 Things You Should Know About Writing will mainly feature writing technique, but I'm due to veer off on some other writing-related tangent. I'll make sure to keep things informative, though. 

If you're looking for Part 1 (which mainly dealt with creating and sustaining tension), you can find it here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/17586435-100-things-you-should-know-about-writing-part-1

Part 2, which deals more with surviving as a writer (but with some technique advice) can be found here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/35424276-100-things-you-should-know-about-writing-part-2All Rights Reserved

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.

Dried Rose by author_estrella

2 Mistakes. First, to witness it . Second, to do it. And then regretting for life . Two individuals, One stuck and One is guilt ridden. One has hard time to accept things. One has hard time to deal with things. Lies to cover lies , Pretence to cover the vulnerability. Still love finds it's way. But will break through ? For those who are poles apart ? One who is regretting something while the other stuck with a truth hard enough to digest. Laden with responsibilities, gripped with insecurities, fearing the past. How will they find peace in chaos ? That's what needs to be found... But.... Will they have a happily ever after ? Well, it is unanswered..... TW : Contains references to child abuse, violence and disturbing scenes.

As fate weaves its intricate tapestry, these two seemingly polar opposites find themselves entangled in a web of complexity. Why does Karan harbor such intense animosity towards Misha?

Prepare to embark on an enigmatic journey, where the shadows of the past and the allure of the unknown converge. Unravel the secrets that bind these characters as you delve into their captivating narrative, and discover the profound mysteries that lie beneath the surface.

Storm Of Pain by fictionlover20040228

Have you ever seen your life flash before your eyes? Seen all the good memories with you and your friends and loved ones just pass in a few split seconds before the moment comes where you know you'll die? Where you determine if it's going to be a quick or slow and painful death? Well then, same. I risk my life on a daily bases saving others, strangers, kids, families, anyone my team and I can help ranging from terrorist attacks to bombs to pretty much anything. The training that I received a few years ago allows me to do that, it allows me to be the best person that I can be, if I could go back to the day I joined the military I wouldn't change a single thing; the only thing I would've changed in my journey is to have looked after her better. To have kept her safe. But life had other plans with both of us... ***** All ideas in this book are thought of by me. Nothing has been based of another book. If something is the same as another's, it purely coincidental. *Don't copy from my book *Don't report my book because of a few violent scenes *My book is copyrighted. If I found out you copied my book, I will report you. *Remember to vote and comment
