Pet Peeves
☆Time skip☆
I know you can write a full sentence that indicates the passage time.

☆Chapter 1 immediately begins with xx years ago☆
Sometimes that's called a prologue (please note spelling).

☆Barley for barely☆
We aren't talking grains here. A few typos is understandable, but the entire book argh!!#

☆ I's ☆
This is a WattPad phenomenon. It does not exist in the wilds. You can't even Google an example.

☆☆ Rouge for Rogues☆☆
I always imagine the Rogues showing up having red cheeks and red lipstick.. because you know, they are rouges. I start giggling...

☆☆Aloud for allowed☆☆
Aloud means not silently. Allowed is past tense of allow.

◇◇Lie, lay, laid and lain◇◇
This is one of most difficult verbs. So here is the breakdown by :Kate Lohnes
https://www.britannica.com/story/lay-lie-lied-lain-when-do-we-use-which
Just know that lied is past tense of telling a lie, not of lie as in reclining. That would be lay or lain.
☆☆passed and past☆☆
Another tricky one...
To keep past and passed straight, remember that past always has the same form, while passed is one of the forms of the verb pass
~~~~~
Books where all the men are in love with the female protagonist and all the other girls are jealous skanks. Boring stuff.

Pranks. Hate them in any form. Waste of pages.

Lyrics written out in its entirety.
This is the worst waste of my time and ink. I will not read on.

Titles that are not grammatically correct. This is your baby! You are so proud! Check the grammar before you submit it.

However, those of you that write your books on your phone, my hats off to you! I can't write a comment without messing up, how you manage to write an entire book is an amazing accomplishment.
