@action In action scenes, dialogue heightens tension, reveals character motives, and creates dynamic pacing. By interspersing quick exchanges, taunts, or strategic commands, I keep the energy high and let the characters' personalities shine amid the chaos. Dialogue also helps break up intense physical action, allowing readers brief moments to process and anticipate what’s coming next.

@action Depending on the situation, a snappy comeback, snarky remark, or exclamation of surprise can really bring life to a scene, and it also provides a brief respite for the reader to ground themselves on those words. Sometimes, you need something like that to maintain clarity within the physical action.

I received a message from Wattpad that my novel has been deleted. Will they really delete it? And which novel do you mean? I have 8 novels. Which novel will Wattpad delete? Why? And when????

@taekook_jk_v_bts - they've sent you a message because one of your stories has been removed due to a violation. It's standard practice. I do not know if your story was reported, or the Trust and Safety team found it during a sweep.

@ TheOrangutan I don't understand what the message means. Is it because someone reported my account or is Wattpad just sending this message as a routine?

@sbjwwue72828ehdje - Hi, if you've received a message from Wattpad then that's from the Wattpad team, not from the volunteers (ambassadors) who run this profile. The Ambassadors do not have any insight into deletions so they can't really advise you on what's been removed. If something has been noted as being deleted then it will have already been removed, and the message should give you information on what to do to appeal that decision. Or, you can contact Wattpad via the Help pages and ask for more information.

@action avoid repeating words and phrases like I do it but I hate it. It’s like
            
            She jumped and dodged
            She dodged and jumped 
            
            And also describing it the same way really annoys me
