Writing: Avoiding Pitfalls

I've written three novel-length projects, a novella, and numerous short stories. Over time, my work has won many Wattpad contests, and I would like to share my tips on how to make a good story and get people to read your work. I have learned much over the years from writers who came before me, and I'd like to pass on that knowledge to anyone who wants it. This is a basic guide, meant for rookies.
