RANTS Finally!
Okay, so I've been getting a lot of messages, (mostly from my bestie @angelcutie225) to do more rants. So here they are! I may remind you of you're English teacher, but these just annoy the rainbow and chocolate out of me. Enjoy laughing at me getting mad at shit:
12: Stop Texting!
I hate it when people use texting language in stories. I mean, okay, if you're using it show like your character got a text from someone then sure! But people just be like:
He looked at me! Omg I can't believe this! Wait, who is that chick getting her hands all over him! wtf he's mine you filthy cockroach! Get out of the way, [insert name here']'s coming through!]
Hmm, okay. Maybe, just maybe I might've exaggerated a little...but seriously? I saw it in some stories and I'm not even kidding, people write like that.
13: Punctuation
Okay, we all have our bad editing days. Where, we authors are just like: 'yay! I finally got over with it! Finally now let's publish this shit to get it totally over with!' And we don't read out work over.
Comment '#WattpadWritersProblems' if you can relate here:
•••
But I hate it when writers have the shortest of chapters and it is filled with punctuation errors. And what annoys me the most is when people are too lazy to write the word 'okay' [(okay? Okay) Sorry I had to make that reference] like this: kay.
And I'm sittin' in front of my computer like, 'snitch, you forgot the apostrophe! I don't like your story anymore!'
Either use the word properly or use the apostrophe. It's simple!
Then there's the quotations. People, if your character is speaking, you need to include quotation marks! I mean, you learn that in elementary school! (or primary school, whatever you call it) And you're teacher is probably like: I said ziz more than infinity times but no! No one listens to 'ze teacher! Iz as if I don't exist! (Read that in a French accent ;) don't mean to offend anyone, but one of teachers were French...)
14: Reality
Okay, I am by no means a great writer. I really don't have too much experience writing long, well-described stories where every little detail is important. (COMMENT if you thought if harry potter...or was I the only one...) however, there are such fanfictions or books where the characters are so flawless, they seem fake. Now yes, I know characters in fantasy and fiction aren't real, nor are the setting and most of the stuff. But I'm not talking about the story.
What I mean is, the characters and their traits are what we aim to relate to. Think of it this way: if every character in every story had perfect characters with no flaws. Would you wanna read that? So what am I really suggesting here?
I'm trying to say that make your character have flaws, make them fart. Make them relatable and most importantly: make them ugly. I'm not even joking here.
Make them another race, make them fat, let them ask for help if they need it! I mean, there are times when we need help, and we have to ask for it. That's one of the courageous traits I would like to see in the world and in stories: never be afraid to ask for help. And for chocolate and rainbow's sake: make your characters real.
15: Morning Breath and Eye Reading
Okay, this one might not remind you of your English teacher. I can't stand it, when the characters wake up and kiss. For example:
I opened my eyes to find the sun glaring at me. I turned to my right to find [insert boy name here] staring at me. He leaned in closer and our lips crashed.
Oh! Your lips crashed?! Gurl, did you even smell or taste his morning breath? You two just woke up, didn't brush your teeth, but you're morning breath just magically disappeared. Yay, everyone knows that stinky breath disappears when you kiss! [Note the sarcasm]
What should be written is:
I woke up and turned to my right. He was staring at me with pleading eyes. I knew he wanted to kiss. He leaned in closer but I put my hand to stop our lips from crashing.
"Eww! Your disgusting! People have morning breath! And you're certainly one of them! Brush you're teeth and then, come kiss me!" I yelled at him. I was now shooing him away to the bathroom with my baseball bat that I kept next to my bed at all times.
Maybe...a little weird for an example but...oh well.
Now, for the eye reading. This may sound a little weird, but I read this fanfic where they talk, but mostly like this:
I looked into his chocolate brown eyes. His eyes told me not worry about anything. They told me that I was safe, as long as I was with him. I told him everything will be alright, through my eyes...
And blah blah blah blah blah! Where can I seriously learn this eye contact language? I mean, sometimes I'm too lazy to talk. Or I'm eating and I don't want to be rude, so If I can learn this, I can just tell my mom, through my eyes, that I need more food.
Wait a minute, I just thought of something. Talking through eyes...that reminds me of Occlemancy! Maybe all the characters in those books are...witches and wizards! Yay, that makes sense.....or not.
Well, weather their witches and wizards highly trained in Occlumency, or people who learned this secret way of communication, I'm sick and tired of reading about it.
Well, that's it for today, I'll rant more...hopefully.
Now, if you want a shout out, comment right here:
You didn't comment yet.
I know you didn't do it yet! Go comment!
Okay, now go to the comment section and follow everyone who wrote on it! Now!
There, I didn't have to type everyone's usernames and they still got shoutouts! I know I'm clever. Now go follow everyone in that comment section cuz I bet it's gonna make someone's day!
