I always wanted to write fanfiction but I'm hesitant to do it because I don't want to make my character a cliche. I mostly base my characters on people I know and a little bit of myself. The one thing I struggle with all the time is the conflict they go through internally and externally. I also struggle with character voice. Plus Planning out everything before I write and it's not really easy. 😆 I haven't anything in two years and I get writer's block a lot! Sometimes I get inspired but then I quickly loose it.
you got this! slowly start planning things out. starting of with the small things first and then working your way up is what i recommend. As, for writers block, it sucks and i’ve had it for months after months. Lastly, getting inspired is really all about having ideas and wanting to write. i talked a little bit about it in the video and how i find inspiration again when i do have writers block. don’t loose hope, you’re gonna do great when you start your book
So, this might sound weird but if you ever like drawing, use a base that you find on Pinterest and from there on just, draw the character. Improvise and boom! You have a character. You can also use references. I usually do that if they have a family and they have genetics from their mom or dad.
It's kind of impossible to avoid but I get your point. There still has to be a few now and then though, it's natural 😁 And I always get writers block and I mean it's so bad it lasts for months.....my brother said I'm just talentless😂😂🤧😅

I just use Pixlr app to customise photos. Take the celebrity or whoever your character model is, add some text and maybe a filter and there. I like covers that are creative but easy on the eyes.
Just watched your ''How To: Write a Wattpad Fanfiction!'' and your advice is very helpful :D currently planning to make a one-shot Wattpad after 2 years of my last fanfic keep making great videos like this
@@ped0_catcher918 So u can just ignore my my comment y waste time in replying just scroll down... Y waste your precious time i will comment whatever i want....
I have way to much time on my hands and so I just like making wattpad covers for fun even tho I’m never actually going to write a story and use them- 🧎
maybe you could make like an insta account where you make them for other people because i know a bunch of people who dont want to or cant make them very well
idk why i keep watching tips and tricks knowing i’ll fail at a boom i can’t even write. i’m the worst at finding book names that aren’t already taken. congrats to everyone that made my dream at having one book blow up.🎉
This is extremely helpful I just started out and don't really wanna keep writing fanfiction and I wanted to get into stories and I didn't have a way to make covers so this is so helpful ❤️😭
try to come up with an original idea! you can find inspo but always always credit the person and make sure nothing’s copied and pasted because if you’re stealing anything that isn’t original they can copyright you!
Ik this like two years ago but this is still soo helpful oh my gosh, im now starting and feel really glad that i created my own cover with my own taste thx so much
Thank you so much, I was looking at a bunch of really detail covers, and they looked really good, and it was really discouraging, because mine were really plain, and not that good. This really helped me.
Even tho im bad at spelling and is kinda new to story righting I wanna start making stories on wattpad no ones going to see them probably but as long as I Wright about my ideas im happy^^

Hi! I’ve been reading your stepbrother mattia fic and saw how your cast list images were sized and blended with the mobile app’s background. How do you make those??
Bit late to this video lol but it was very helpful, although I’ve always struggled with choosing characters for my book covers, how do you know what images you are allowed to use without affecting copyright issues?
Ok, can I ask a question. The thing is that I am writing a fanfiction on David Gandy (British Model) and I have got a pic of him in Pinterest and O have put it in the cover of my book without any design, no username, no title and nothing... Just the pic. Is it okay??? Please reply.❤
I'm actually not sure if anyone can relate when you want to make your first book but How do you get Motivated or get the confidence to make it? I'm a bit pressured and scared of making my first book because I'm afraid that people might not like it or they might comment some hate.
Her: talking about helpful stuff that come in handy with making covers The lotion in the back: mhm ty ty now ima make the cover for my soap x shaving cream fanfic 😏
Hi I was wondering if you can make a video on how to make a planner binder to keep everything organize for your Wattpad story so you don't forget like for example what the characters names are or like when to publish, but if you can't then its okay.
i think it depends. because i’ve seen people use photos from Pinterest without getting copyrighted but you can always find a new photo from somewhere else if you wanna be safe!
HI! in my recent wattpad video I shared ALL the links for the apps mentioned in this video IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX, so if you still need them check it out : th-cam.com/video/ZDqIcQRtKJo/w-d-xo.html
You can use a different name but when you're introducing your characters make sure to say "their actual name' and then "as the characters name"! if that makes sense.
hey hey! i was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how to find interesting love stories? Most of them are literally the same, enemys to lovers so i was wondering how to find the good ones lmao
My problem is that people tell me I'm talented, yet I don't believe it AT ALL even though I've been writing since primary and all the ideas in my brain constantly function 24/7 but I don't have enough motivation for it-- 😶
Can anybody please give me some idea for the cover???..... Because the main character is hidden in the starting episodes... So i don't wanna spoil the suspense by putting the pic on the cover.... What to do??? 🥺

do you think you can do a how to add a video from pintrest to a story?
A GIF or actual video? if it’s a GIF you can usually copy and paste and it’ll show up!
If you have a face claim of some one famous do you have to use their name or can you use a different name
You can use a different name but when you're introducing your characters make sure to say "their actual name' and then "as the characters name"! if that makes sense.
