Now, now. I know that you are thinking: Grammar? Ugh I hate grammar! But here's the thing. Have you ever read a published book--a real book (like Warriors or PJO), mind you--written like this?:

Everyone knew the prettymost (not a word) cherry tree is (tense change) the prettiest. Smiling, he ran toward it, ssaper happpy (misspelling) !!!111! (what the heck are the ones doing here??)

I'm gonna guess no.

See, proper grammar/spelling makes a story seem miles better then one that just chucks it out the window.

Do you know why that is?

Because it seems like you put effort into it. Effort=better in most people's books, so that automatically raises the "goodness" of your book.

But Ember! I hear you saying. Wattpad isn't a place for real books!

Does that mean you shouldn't put any effort into them?

Of course, that's not to say that you can't make mistakes! I myself make them all the time--typos and whatnot. But that's when lovely people called editors come in.

They read your unpublished chapter, locate typos and grammar mistakes, and tell you to fix them. Voila! Problem mostly solved! (There are occasionally errors that slip past both, but much less.)

Well, I hope you learned something! Ember OUT.
