Welcome to the wonderful world of writing on Wattpad!
This is Wattpad, not the Olympics, so there's no need to panic. Anyone can try it, no training required.

Writing doesn't have to be complicated, and you don't have to be a graduate of some fancy university, but there are a few guidelines that will make things easier for you and your readers.

I have tips for beginners who paid as little attention in English as I did, as well as details on things I've learned over the years.

Anyone can write a story. I never thought I would write anything, but I tried it and - much to my surprise - I found it very relaxing and entertaining. 

Feel free to skip around the chapters to find sections that interest you. You are also welcome to skim everything in case you find a hidden gem of advice.

Please note that my writing tips follow the Chicago Manual of Style writing guide (you are free to use a different guide - keeping things consistent is the biggest thing).All Rights Reserved

The Remarried Empress by SERIESbyWEBTOON

Navier Trovi has spent her entire life preparing to become the perfect empress, and all her training has paid off: she is the well-respected ruler of the Eastern Empire alongside Emperor Sovieshu, who has been both her friend and her arranged husband since childhood. Navier has never considered any other life, nor has she ever had any reason to-until Sovieshu brings home a mistress and demands a divorce. With her carefully constructed world suddenly turned upside down, Navier takes a drastic action of her own: after accepting her divorce, she immediately remarries the handsome Prince Heinrey of the Western Kingdom. As the new ruler of a competing nation, Navier's skills and wits are put to the test as she navigates the turbulent waters of both international and interpersonal relationships-and is forced to reassess everything she thought she knew about high society, politics, and love.

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.
