Hi there !
To be honest I make my chapters randomly long, but I made it my goal to at least write 1 000 words a Chapter.
Tips...hmmm.... Well there are a lot of tips I would have given my past self and others, Lol. The only ones I can give are...
Tipp 1: Try to make as little writing mistakes as possible.
Tipp 2: NEVER put on your book a lot of Author Notes, it will (at least in Wattpad) get uninteresting for readers if you leave a lot of Chapers in your book with Author Notes. Write it above or underneath the Chapter you wrote and don't start a new one for that.
Tipp 3: I read a lot of books in Wattpad and other Apps that made NO SENSE. Try to avoid that. If the Stories make no sense, it won't be interesting. A few even wrote their Chapters all over the place.
Tipp 4: Only write what you are comfortable with ! If someone asks you to write Smut or Angst with certain things and you feel uncomfortable about it, DON'T do it. A lot of people wrote Smut in their books and always wrote in the middle of their Stories "I feel very uncomfortable Q-Q", etc. No one wants to know that, not in the middle of a Story.
Tipp 5: Only write about things you know about or read a bit about. (For example: Imagine you don't know what a certain flower can do. Can it heal, is it poisonous ?) Research is key for things you don't know much about, before you write total BS.
Tipp 6: Don't mess up pronouns. I am honest. A lot of people forgot what pronouns which person in their story had and messed it all up. Either note it down or keep it in mind. If you write more than 1 book (Like me), then notes will come in handy.
Tipp 7: Make the book as interesting as possible. The more interesting it is, the more Readers. But I think you already know that. ^-^
Tipp 8: Your Story, your Rules. No one else is allowed to be a Karen about it. And there will always be some Karens about certain things.
Tipp 9: Maybe you want to write a certain number of words per day or upgrade your vocabulary. You can’t reach a goal unless you have one, so write that goal down and work toward it.
Tipp 10: I do that most of the time too. Always have a Notebook and Pen with yourself or have something on your phone to write. If you get an idea what to write, then you have to note it down, before you forget it again.
Tipp 11: Always make drafts first, so you can read over your whole work, correct some things and add facts or more words to it, before you publish it. (I forget that most of the times)
Tipp 12: Look through the Internet for more ideas for a Story. I mostly rewatch Movies to get Ideas, look at Pictures and drawings or just look at different stuff. It inspires me to write other things.
Tipp 13: Never write when you have no motivation to. People that write without Motivation mess it up mostly.
I think that is all the tips I can give you. I know it ain't a lot, but at least a tiny bit. Hope some help you ! ^-^
If you have any other/more questions, don't be afraid to ask ! ^-^
