Chapter 9: The description

"Dont liek doNT red!!!11!1!!!"

You know what I'm going to be talking about? Yah, you know what I'm going to talk about.

How the fuck do I know I don't like it if I don't read it?

Oh wait. The grammar. Right.

Do you know how many descriptions I read with horrible grammar? 

Countless.

I specially hate those ones like: "One girl, two boys. Who will she choose? The bad boy? Or the good boy?" Simple. The bad boy.

Cliché logic.

Basically, I hate when they have questions like "who will she choose?" "Who will win?" Because, the answers are too clear. I never really like descriptions with questions. That might be just me, but I hate them.

Next problem.

THE GRAMMAR!

Call me whatever you want. But it's one major pet peeve I have. Because the description helps the reader know if the book is good or not, if you have a description like...

"OMG!!! Katrina has 2 chose betwen 2 hawt bad bois The thing is their hawt asf! Wo wil she chose? Red to find ot!!!!!!!11!!"

It's going to make me hate the book right before it even starts. Now compare that monstrosity, to this:

"Katrina has to choose between two hot bad boys. The thing is, they're fucking hot. Who will she choose?"

I know, I know. Bad concept, but hey, better grammar. I would honestly read a book about One Direction (bleh) with proper grammar than read a book that sounds interesting, but with bad grammar.

I don't care if English is the author's second language! English is also my second language, and I have better grammar than them! Don't use that as an excuse, it's so overused it feels like an excuse to use slang language.

I read a book that had proper grammar and hey, English was the author's THIRD language.

Next problem:

A description is like a trailer. Do you know the problem with today's trailers?

They tell the whole fucking movie in minutes!

The same problem is with these descriptions.

Don't reveal the whole fucking book in the description. Nobody will read because they know what will happen!

Now let's compare...

"Katrina was new to highschool, she then fell in love with the bad boy of the school. The thing is, be just wants to get in her pants!!! Will he ever change is mind about her??"

"Katrina is a normal seventeen year old. But she has a problem. She fell in love with the school's bad boy: Zack McDonalds. That's when her life starts to change..."

I don't care if they're both bad. I would read the second one instead of the first. Because the second one leaves me with questions like: "How did her life change?" "How will she make him love her?" "What will happen to both of them?". 

Honest advice: think of the story first. Then think of the description. I thought of those descriptions before thinking of the story and look how bad they are!


By the way, if you spell "boy" as "boi" it'll make you seem like you're calling someone a bull, because in Portuguese, boi means bull. Just saying, it bugs me when I read stuff like that.

Welp, if you excuse me, I'm going to watch anime (again).

Peace!
