I am no expert in.. Well, writing, but as a reader, like most people here, I do notice things that.. Really annoys me. So I'm going to address that. That doesn't mean I have no idea what I'm talking about though. Some of these things are, well, facts. And some personal opinions.. Some are just clichès you might want to avoid when writing. And I do believe there are a few tips in there as well. Who knows?

I don't really proofread, but I try my best. 

Also, warning: LANGUAGE AND OPINIONS!

Also, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that some of these chapters are a bit outdated, and might seem a bit immature.

[Rated Mature for language and safety]

Thanks to xXGirlOfTheNightXx for the amazing cover!

SomeGuy's Writing Advice And Tips And STUFF by someguyl0l_
11 parts Complete
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.
Yes...Another Rant Book (OLD discontinued) by theflores
22 parts Complete
*This rant book is old and many of the chapters hold opinions that don't necessarily stand for me today. Read at your own risk and feel free to ask me about anything questionable! So yeah, the title says it all. This is yet another rant book to add to the thousands here on this site. Is it a bit cliché? Yes. Are rant books sometimes pointless? Yes. But do I need to vent out bottled-up rage? Absolutely. Also, as a quick warning, some of these rants might be irrational. I'm a teenager; there's still some maturing I need to do. This is a collection of things I hate in society, entertainment, school, and maybe just life in general. Just to clarify, these rants and rages are solely my opinion. If you're offended, well then, you don't have to read them and you don't have to agree. Like I said, I need someplace to release the anger, and this seems to be a nice peaceful way to do it. And hopefully I entertain you in the process! Enjoy! *PG-13 For minor language and some descriptions. Cover made by JannaPervaiz

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!) Highest Rank: {#176 in Random} {#25 in rants} || Complete Cover by me! :D
