Rabid reader of fictional romances and sometime "queen of the emojis" in my Wattpad comments (I guess because I'm mostly a visual learner & communicator?).
I like to help WattPad authors with their editing, because editing your own work is difficult to do (see) and paying an editor is expensive. Grammar and word usage mistakes tend to 'jump out at me' because of the examples they hammered into us in Journalism school (my degree), but I don't mean to act like 'grammar police' and I've a ton more respect for the authors' CREATIVITY than grammar/word usage skills. (My own written communications aren't 100% perfect either, again: because it's harder to see a missing word, etc., in one's own writing.) 💪🏅🏆
Authors ~ here are TWO of the most COMMON writing mistakes I see repeatedly on Wattpad:
1) 'wandering' is not the same as 'wondering'; know the difference.
2) the correct idiom, for stating how LITTLE someone cares about something/someone is "I could NOT care less" or "I couldn't care less". (Saying "I could care less", actually means the character does, in fact, CARE, to some degree.)
Keep writing creative stories, you are AMAZING to do so!
