Why do we write? I write because words drive me crazy if I don't. At times, I am physically compelled to grab a pen and jot down my thoughts on paper. I write because it allows me to express my thoughts in a skilful way. I write to be the characters I am not. I write because I have to.
It's simple. If you have that untold story inside you, it has to be told.
Don't you all feel the same urge? We all write because we have something to say. Ideas percolating in our heads have to come out and get transferred on paper. With our words, we create a new world, one of our imaginations where we can be whatever we want. We can make readers fall in love with our characters or make them hate it by simply using words as our weapon.
This book is a small effort to share my experiences of last few months on wattpad. It is for those beginners who are desperate to write but don't know where to start? How to start?
Trust me; the most fearful moment is just before we start writing.
This book will give answers to your questions related to writing. I am planning to take one topic at a time and give you basic information in simple words. I will keep on adding more sections as I receive your queries.
I hope this will help you to unlock your dreams and let them transfer to reality by your fingers.
Come and join me in this beautiful journey of an amazing craft called writing.
Let's write together.

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
Tips For Writing On Wattpad
Welcome to the wonderful world of writing on Wattpad! This is Wattpad, not the Olympics, so there's no need to panic. Anyone can try it, no training required. Writing doesn't have to be complicated, and you don't have to be a graduate of some fancy university, but there are a few guidelines that will make things easier for you and your readers. I have tips for beginners who paid as little attention in English as I did, as well as details on things I've learned over the years. Anyone can write a story. I never thought I would write anything, but I tried it and - much to my surprise - I found it very relaxing and entertaining. Feel free to skip around the chapters to find sections that interest you. You are also welcome to skim everything in case you find a hidden gem of advice. Please note that my writing tips follow the Chicago Manual of Style writing guide (you are free to use a different guide - keeping things consistent is the biggest thing).Complete
From The Heart
Do you know the times when you want to say something, but can't? Or the times when you are sad and need someone to give you a hug? The times your worst enemy hugs your boyfriend? Or the times you are so angry you punch a locker and have to pay to get it repaired? Well with writing my thoughts, passions, anger triggers, enemies, love, hatred, even happiness out for people. Makes me feel like someone can relate to me and I can impact them in any simple or complex way they deem fit. I write because I can and I become free with every word written from my mind, every letter and messed up grammar I have accidentally committed to butchering every time I write. I may not make a difference, heck, I may not even have a lot of people who read but those who do read when I write about how I thought up a story plot or something for my best friend, they will always make me feel like I'm making the difference because someone actually read what I thought at a certain time and day and maybe even listened. That's what makes me feel wanted and happy like I can do something other than run my stubborn mouth and have a mother hen personality. That is what will continue as I write. fortunately, the thing is no one can take it away either, and that my readers are what makes the mind a great thing.Complete

Invincible | JJ Maybank²
The first two parts are in my book Unbreakable. "We were never the kind of people who get each other in the end." This story is for everyone unhappy with season 4's ending. A story of all the drama that could follow JJ without the treasure hunting. ----------------------------------- Months have passed since Callie left the Outer Banks behind-since she walked away from JJ, from everything they had, and everything they lost. Now back on the island, Callie needs to come back to her old life without making the same mistakes. But have JJ and Callie really gotten over each other? And can they stay friends without hurting each other? As the summer heat settles in, unresolved feelings bubble to the surface. They've both tried to move on, but gravity has its own rules. Now, Callie must decide: is the past something you leave behind, or something you fight for? In this story I try to capture the wild, messy beauty of falling for someone you can't seem to let go. *Includes mature content such as mental health, sexual mentions, violence and more.* *This story will not follow the plot of the Outer Banks series* *I only own my character and her story* [ fem oc x jj maybank ]
Unbreakable | JJ Maybank
THIS IS BOOK 1 & 2 'At a point in the life of a pogue, you stop counting dollars and starts to value memories and people.' This story is for everyone unhappy with season 4's ending. A story of all the drama that could follow JJ without the treasure hunting. ----------------------------------- Callie finds herself standing at the edge of everything she thought she'd left behind. She never saw herself return to the Outer Banks. Callie reconnects with her old friends. Her crew of beach bums, thrill-seekers, and dreamers. And maybe most of all she gets to meet JJ again. As they spend time together, the connection between Callie and JJ deepens into something neither of them expected. Only one problem: No pogue on pogue macking. They hope to be able to figure this relationship out in secret, but in the Outer Banks, nothing stays hidden for long. Callie learns that loving someone means risking not just her plans but her heart. As tensions rise and old wounds resurface, Callie is forced to confront the fragile threads holding her world together and drama seems to follow her around. Can she keep her head above water, or will this summer take her under? In this story I try to capture the wild, messy beauty of falling for someone you can't seem to let go. *Includes mature content such as mental health, sexual mentions, violence and more.* *This story will not follow the plot of the Outer Banks series* *I only own my character and her story* [ fem oc x jj maybank ]Complete
