Writing pet peeves/Things that make your story look unprofessional:
•When people put references in their stories
•Improper spelling
•Every paragraph only being one sentence
•Repeated phrases EX " "______" he smiled. "______" he smiled and giggled. "_____" he giggled." "
•Lack of punctuation (commas, colons, semi-colons, periods, etcetc)
•Writing yelling in all caps too often. EX "I HATE YOU!! GET OUT OF MY LIFE!!"
•Being dry and non-descriptive
• "OMG" "WTF" etcetc
•Making the character inconsistent
•Changing the plot in a choppy, spur of the moment way
•Drastic character personality change
•Using the character's names too often
•Random author's notes right in the middle EX " "_______" a/n: OMG what he just said reminded me of this one time....... "______"
