Beep beep mothertruckers you're in for a wake-up call
Ok first off lemme just say that cliché stories can be good because they became cliché for a reason, but usually they suck.
No offense, or maybe a little offense, but when you have a story that sort of matches the little example I wrote, it probably sucks. A couple of reasons in my experience are:
1) the worst grammar ever. I probably have read 500+ stories on Wattpad and I can confidently type that I probably have only finished one story that had a good storyline but had bad grammar.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. IF YOU HAVE BAD GRAMMAR USAGE (meaning consistent and often patterns of not properly using commas in the right place, capitalization, misspelling words, etc.) YOUR STORY SUCKS.
many of the writers on Wattpad are tweenagers that don't have a clue about anything including writing and reading. of course I was on here when I was like 8 or 9, I can't remember the age- but I can remember that everything I read was a cliché because it was a first time thing for me, but once that first time thing has been written 50,000x it just becomes boring.
Get some original ideas, hoe.
If you don't have an original idea, at least write it in a understandable manner.
2) oh yeah also if you make any of the characters shallow or one-dimensional (u catch my drift?) that also shows 'unprofessionalism' (i guess idk) and just makes the story really boring
3) ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE 20+ chapters of the stuff.
What I read constantly is this -///
First chapter: girl gets beat up or hurt by an ex or some shiz like that
Second chapter: every guy fawning over her even though she thinks she ugly
Third chapter: oh no someone kissed her but she thinks she likes someone else
Fourth chapter: someone beats her up because your story is boring, your characters are shallow, and you don't know how else to cope
Fifth chapter: 'touching' or emotional scene which becomes really awkward really fast or magically recovers in 2 hours with no emotional shock or physical distress
Ok you get the point
Pls remember that this is just a shit ass book I'm using to rant about and I'm trying not to offend anyone and also I don't take my own advice :)
