Writing Tips

Introduction

Okay, if you have not read the description, or what I like to call blurbs, then please understand this:

1. I am only a student who took writing up to honors writing at university. Not masters/bachelors in writing. None. I am a simple woman who excelled in my writing courses. That's it.

2. I do not know everything, I explain what I do know in this guide.

3. Certain things in here are from my opinion and a few others. IT IS NOT OFFICIAL FOR EVERYONE. I'll even say an example about myself right now: I love super spicy food. The spicier, the better. I do not enjoy many sweet things, the few sweets I do eat are ice cream (soon to be gone once I'm able to get rid of dairy completely in my diet) and naturally fruit-flavored popsicles.

Now that I took care of that, let's begin on the beginning on this chapter and why I am making this guide.

I've seen many bad stories on here, ranging from grammar and spelling issues to cliché plots. They annoy the shit out of me, almost to the point where I'm screaming into my pillow/hoodie from frustration of how poorly written some stories are, sometimes I just want to bash my head against a wall as well (there are a few dents in my bedroom wall, my forehead is now flat as well.)

Considering my current Grammar Corrective self cannot handle it, I bet many other GCs are experiencing the torture as well. We usually can't read a story that sounds/looks like crap, the book is immediately put back on the shelf. We usually only worry about grammar, not the story's plot line. Well, at least at first.

Anyways, I'll talk about plot line stuff later in this book. I don't have much information on it at the moment, so I don't want to end up saying something wrong. You can even look at my book Awakening to see all the plot holes in it so far. It is the first draft, of course; it's not going to be perfect.

But overall, you will hear me rant about things I hate. Here's a list of what I know so far that I'll be talking about in this book:

-Grammar (Commas will be major here)

-Spelling

-Sentence structure

-Describing/Adjectives

-Repetitive words

-Setting (Time/Place)

-The mood

-Paragraphing and dialect

-Diction (Goes with CD)

-Character development

-Socializing on Wattpad

-And many more! :D

That's all I can think of at this moment, but more will be added for sure. These are not in order, they will come when I can write it. That usually means I have to find the notes in my binder from last year and all that; my English class last year talked about literature composition, so a lot of stuff I know now was from that class. I learned more since the advanced are usually taught more and fixed on their errors in their writing. (It seems my school only worries about its advanced classes, they don't care about the other kids, unless they're involved with sports xD)

I hope you enjoy this helpful guide and my randomness in it. Remember, I am going to be brutally honest in these. If you ever need help on a story or anything of the sort, PM me. I'm always on wattpad when not doing school work or reading.

Note: Open the tab to find what you're looking for. If it's not there, then PM me about your request.

I also do not tolerate self-advertisements or reading requests in this book, my DMs, conversation board, or my other books. DO NOT make comments like these or they will be deleted.
