19. Not really cliches more like things I would really hate in a book.
AHHHHHH!!! I'm super pissed off right now 😡!!
Today was horrible!!! Firstly, I almost got played by a guy! Seriously, me! Can you believe it? I can't! Ugh! I seriously believed him when he said, 'You're the only one I've told this to.' and then I find out he has already told this to two of my friends?!
😡😡😡😡
Why the hell didn't I learn from Wattpad's playboy books?
Secondly, it was Mother's Day and I forgot to bring my wallet with me when I went to college (What kind of an idiotic girl does that?) so I couldn't buy my mom a gift!
By the way, Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. You do so much for us, and yet your stupid idiot kids don't realize it until it's too late.
Thirdly I'm so going to fail all my exams if I keep watching anime 24/7 and fawning over fictional guys.
Fourthly, I had a huge fight with my friend over a stupid thing on FACEBOOK! Who the duck does that?? I'm so deleting my Facebook account.
FIFTHLY, I just got a new phone and the know-it-all auto correct is being a big bitch! Its turning 'bitch' into 'Butch', 'Asshole' into 'Assassins' and 'Wattpad' into 'Warthog'
Listen here auto correct, stop twisting my words and changing them as you see fit, you're not Trump.
Oh by the way, I hate that dude. Say Amen people.
So why did I rant like a spoiled brat? So you could understand how pissed off I'm feeling right now! And now I'm going to take it all out on some poor books out there.
Ahem, let's start. Don't get offended.... Well you can if you wish, I just won't give a fuck right now.
Descriptions
The thing I see first in a book is it's description. How well written it is and if it enthralled me. Does it have the elements I seek?
A little bit of spine tingling excitement? A little bit of humor? A little bit of teasing?
A description is like a trailer. If you don't like the trailer of a movie the fuck would you waste your time watching it, right?
It's the same with descriptions and I'm sure every reader feels that way. If you don't manage to write a good description it doesn't matter how good your story is, no one will read it.
And some of the worst descriptions I'm currently seeing on Wattpad are somewhat like this -
1.
'It's just a story about a girl who was always bullied and shy. And a boy who was always popular in school.
Read more to find out what happens between them!!!!
Don't forget to vote and comment and share!!!!!! XOXO - @username'
*Cringe*
This is an amateur mistake. You don't add 'Read more to find out' nor do you add 'Don't forget to vote, comment and share!' in the description. This is just.... Well I'll let you guys decide.
2.
'One day Skylar was walking home and suddenly she spilled coffee on the bad boy of school!!!!! And now he's going to blackmail her!!!!! How is she going to survive?!!!!
Hi guys this is my first story! Please support okay?!!!! Give it a chance!!! I swear it's awesome!!'
*cringes twice as badly*
I mean...what?
Why are there so many punctuation marks? The fuck why? In a professionally written story you don't have more than one or at the very most more than a '?!' at the end of a sentence. A ten plus explanation marks are not. I repeat, NOT. needed, okay? Just say, 'She yelled', 'He screamed' or something.
First chapters -
I've said this before I'll say this again, I hate those books where the first chapter starts with the MC getting late for school and hastily starting her day. I've read too much of it on Wattpad.
Grammar and punctuation marks mistakes -
I hate them.
Okay?
Everyone makes typos, yes, but please at least have good grammar. Most new writers do a excellent job at mixing up present and past tenses. Like this -
'I walked to school. When class started , I'm paying attention to class and suddenly Ryder bursts in through the door without a care in the world. As if he rules the school. He sits besides me and smirked, "Hey beautiful."
"Don't call me that," I snap and turned away.
He was such a jerk!!!'
Stop. Please.
Did you notice how wrong this scene above was? What in the world did that poor guy do to her to be called a jerk? I mean he called her 'beautiful.' Isn't she the girl that's always insecure about her looks?
And....what are you a kindergarten student?! Do you not know 'Grammar'?! Makes me want to grab a bucket, puke in it, and throw it on the MC's head.
Romanticizing Abuse.
Suppose a guy is rude to her, he always treats her like shit even though she has done nothing wrong, he is always pushing her around, calling her names, sometimes tripping her in public places (Oh and later, the author does a guy POV and we see that the guy is regretting all of it.)
He's never considerate and he only treats her like shit because he thinks his eputation will be ruined.
Look, that just screams asshole.
Do you know what a good guy is? It's someone who will treasure you, who will lend you a shoulder to cry on, who will make you laugh till your sides hurt, who will always be by your side.
Not someone who gets kicks from kicking you!!! Say it with me, NOT EVERY GUY WHO IS RUDE TO ME LIKES ME!
Say it louder! Not a guy who grabs me by the shoulder so tight that it hurts, is a good guy. Say it girls!
Why? Just...Why?
*takes a deep breath and tries to be calm*
Sorry I'm just pissed off.
I used to do things like this (I mean grammatical mistakes and descriptions mistakes. I'll kill myself before I write a I-hit-you-because-I-Love-you scene.) when I was new, but I can proudly say I've improving day by day.
I'm not perfect, but I'm trying to be better.
Everything can be changed with a bit hard work, proofreading and a lot of smiles. Okay?
Oh and if you fall into the Love-My-Abuser-Simply-Because-He's-Hot, get out of my face.
Oh and wait! One of my friends thatweirdnerd_ just started writing a story Becoming Paige Berkley. Would you guys like to check it out and maybe giving her some tips on it? ♥
Until next time!
Leave your thoughts!
Oh I almost forgot!! Thanks so much for 1K reads everyone!
Have a great day!
Next part will be a Playboy Cliches. Hmm, at least he wasn't completely useless.
Bye bye - Zarin
