Discover some of the writing tips from Wattpad Star and formerly featured author of 'Trapped'.

I  have completed my share of beta reads and critiques for new authors on and off Wattpad and many of the points I have noted are often repeats - something that I used to find in my own writing as well, but have stopped (or tried to stop) over the years. 

It's hard starting out, but it's even harder when no one points out your mistakes. I hope you will find this guide useful to detect some of those problem areas and pick up tips on how to avoid common mistakes. Writing is an art and takes practice. There is no corner cutting - you can only improve if you keep at it.

Interested? Well, then let's explore some of the common traps I've seen...All Rights Reserved

The Tempest by WilliamShakespeare

The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, probably written in 1610-1611, and thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone. It is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skillful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to cause his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to believe they are shipwrecked and marooned on the island. There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio's lowly nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso's son, Ferdinand.

Malora by Thundercloud_E

Born a hybrid in a world that fears difference, Malora finds her haven in the fires of the forge and the magic of potions. But when she earns a coveted spot at Vargrath Academy, she trades the quiet solitude of her village for a cutthroat world of arcane competition. Navigating the complex social landscape of Vargrath proves even more challenging than mastering her dual disciplines. She clashes with a classmate whose icy demeanor and undeniable talent threaten to shatter her confidence. As Malora struggles to find her place, she discovers that true strength lies not in victory, but in forging unexpected friendships-and breaking down the barriers that divide. - Accolades for Malora - Rubellite Review by TheGemmeCommunity • Score: 90/100 "I have never seen such a unique world built in any other story." - Kalavatti, Reviewer Aether Mini-Awards by The_Celestial_Oasis • Score: 94/100 "This is an excellent book.
