Simple, quick tips for improving both your writing quality and your Wattpad experience. Open, friendly, and conversational, this book will give you that little info boost you need to tackle common problems and often-overlooked issues.
Wherever you a...
You check the word count. 983. You smile. Thank goodness you have a word goal. Now, you know that you just need to write... (Vicky frantically finds a calculator) 17 more words... I think.
Yay!
After you write those words, then you can relax and wait until your next session of writing. Which leads me on to the next tip.
2) Schedule
Scheduling is arguably the most important thing when you're writing more than one book at once. To make sure you fulfill your word goal and write regularly, you need a schedule.
It's extremely helpful in keeping you on track.
So... you have twenty minutes a day you can write. What do you do? Split it into two parts, ten minutes each. No! Ten minutes is not enough to write. Instead switch between books on different days. So does that mean Monday you write one book, Tuesday you write the other and so on? No again! You need to keep consistent because after you write for one book, you'll probably have ideas for that book so that book will need another session.
Instead, say Monday and Tuesday are your first book, Mystic of Pies and Wednesday and Thursday are your second book, Chronicles of Ainran. But woe! There's only five days you can write each week! One book will get less.
But which one? Helpfully, this leads on to my next tip.
3) Prioritize
You have to have one book that you prioritize over the others. This is critical if you ever decide you only want to write one book at a time. It's also important to decide which one you'll be writing more often.
Which story are you more invested in? Which story are you more able to write? Which story is more important? That's the one you prioritize.
4) Don't Write Similar Books
If you write too similar books, you're going to get confused. Say you've got three story ideas. The first story idea that there's a sorceress that controls all the pies is your priority. It's an urban fantasy.
You have two other ideas. One is a silly urban fantasy called House of the Ties. The other is a dystopian Romeo & Juliet.
Which one should be your second story? Not House of the Ties. They are way too similar; they even sound similar, ties, pies.
Anyway, that's all I have to you today, but feel free to ask questions in the comments; I'll be happy to answer.
One last tip: if you're posting them on Wattpad, have an update schedule. There's a terrific article by NykkyBee which talks about this. I'll post a link in the comments. -------------------------->
Thanks for reading, and I hope your go at writing more than one story at once goes well!
