《How To: Get More Reads On Wattpad》How To Properly Edit
Advertisement
I don't know whether I have stressed the importance of grammar in this book but I'm sure every writer has been told that good grammar will attract readers. I don't need to make a whole chapter on that.
However, to get grammatically accurate chapters with no spelling mistakes or missing words, you have to proofread and edit effectively. If you don't know how to edit or proofread, maybe you need to rethink whether you are actually capable of writing a book seeing as this is one of the most important parts of writing any book.
But editing is boring and dull, so here's my tip on how to make things SO much easier and faster.
Download an app that turns text into speech and paste your chapter into the app. Then let it read out your chapter for you. This helps you notice your mistakes far easier than just reading through your chapter as you can hear when things don't sound quite right. This has saved me hours, and I live by this whenever I write now.
With perfect writing, you can attract any reader as they aren't put off by obvious mistakes and things like that.

Fateful
Edgar Vogel was a 30 year old underemployed veteran who dropped out of college. His life was comfortable but all ambition was lost. His plans, born of depression and anxiety, were to simply live out his life of mediocrity and enjoy what little he could. That all changed, all it takes is something small to change fate, in his case ice. Reborn into a primitive but fantastical world, full of magic and monsters, he may make something of himself. Oh and there's a massive war against werewolf hordes on the mainland. Edgar, now Jon, has a second chance at life. His previous life was reduced to fragments of technical knowledge that come to him in the form of visions. His new home, the Northern Isles, is far removed from the conflict of the mainland for now as he lives in the quiet frontier village of Terra. His new family believes that fate can be changed and destiny overruled but he has no idea. Whether that's true or not, being told by a crazy old lady that his fate starts with him sitting by a rock in the middle of a field seems wrong, but who knows? Maybe she's right but what's the bit about 'await the bite' supposed to mean? Jon soon learns and his life changes forever. What can a young boy who's gained wolven-blood do? Will he be a monster or will he find salvation? Jon was bitten. ********************************************************************************** Welcome to the Northern Isles. My first story posted on here! I already have the outline of the first couple of books planned out and will be posting a new chapter every Tuesday and Friday. The story will be dark at times but I intend to keep things fairly light when I can. I'm aiming for a world that isn't full of sunshine and rainbows but isn't as bleak as it could be. Focusing on friendship, camaraderie, sh*t talking, and adventure.
