Prisimpad: A Guide to Wattpad, Writing, and Whatever de 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.

《 Head over Tusks! 》- Male Piglin Brute X Male Reader de CreamedCaramel

It all happened one day. You opened your eyes to a blue sky and green grass as far as the eye could see, animals here and there walking about. It was all so peaceful, the sun and wind against your skin, coercing you to get out there and explore, mine that tree, build a pickaxe, kill those mobs. You were taken in by a village and raised there before everything was taken away from you. You learned a valuable lesson that night: that this world can be cruel. But... even then, it's your world. You grow because of what you endure, you build your muscle by tearing it. You can do whatever you want. You can choose to be cruel or not. You decided what you wanted to be when you spared that PIGLIN BRUTE, a hostile creature that was unable of comprehending emotions, a creature that only knew cruelty, A MERE NPC. Little did you know, because you spared that piglin, your life would never be the same again. This is your world, and you changed it, you will leave your impact. You are in control, and you will keep fighting through dirt, sand, and snow; through the deepest oceans and the hottest pits of lava; and across the Overworld and Nether. You will SURVIVE. Welcome to Minecraft. ... Play some of Minecraft's OST and begin reading :) (Feedback is greatly appreciated. Read at a steady pace and enjoy. The art on the cover was made by @Scraffy on Twitter all credit goes to them) Trigger Warnings ⚠️ - gore here and there... - sexual topics - slavery - child abuse - Suggestive language and cussing

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

Coincidental Husbands - 2 : How Can I Marry A Guy??? de MyInvisibleButterfly

A promise between two business partners results in a gay marriage between two straight archenemies making them question... How Can I Marry A Guy??? This is a Spinoff and NOT a sequel. After the overwhelming response for Coincidental Husbands, I had to come back with this. With almost same set of characters as before; I am rewriting the romance with Coincidental Husbands - 2 in a completely new light. Romantic Comedy.

BETA MINE (mxm || lgbtq) de notbackingdown

"A mate will love you and only you. No other can compare to you and he or she will treasure you above all and everything in the world," mommy says to me as she kissed my forehead. I sighed dreamily. I can't wait till I find my mate. He'll be perfect and handsome and funny and smart and brave and beautiful and he'll love me... only ever me... and... and... Present This hurts so much. Seeing and hearing and knowing my mate, the one who's supposed to love me above all, me, only me is in love with somebody else. I'd hate him if I could. I'd reject him if I could... I wish I could. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Important My books are written explicitly for a MATURE AUDIENCE 18 YEARS AND OLDER. There will be some instances/scenes/suggestions of sexual acts, crude language, MPREG and will portray gay relationships between males. If you do not enjoy stories of this nature please leave now. I will not condone/defend/accept any sort of attacks on my stories, my characters or myself. It is well within your right to choose what type of entertainment you prefer but I will not be blamed for your curiosity. Read at your own risk. ******************************************************

There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.

Letting Love In de _Little_Infinity__

You are programmed one way. Programmed to think one way and act one way and love one way, the normal way -- the way preferred by society, the way that everyone around you does. But what if that way changes? What if something or someone changes it? What if they introduce you to change? Is change bad? Is being different a bad thing? What if the difference makes you happy? Isn't happiness what we should be striving for, and nor normalcy? So picture this, you are normal. You are the definition of normal. Your friends are seemingly normal and you think your life is fine, because its normal. Then someone interrupts that flow of normalcy by being different. They aren't society's vision of normal - they are different. And the thing is, they have no normal, they believe there should be no such word as normal, which just happens to be the word your entire life is based on. What then? Accept the different and deny yourself the adventure of it all? Would that be the normal thing to do?
