- Too Much Dialogue-- Yeah, most readers don't mind this, but many find this annoying. With dialogue, the plot does not move on. It just stops. They have to actually do something, not just talk.
- Unusual Words-- Don't use words that most people don't know the meaning of. It just confuses the readers and if there are too many of them, may force them to leave your story.
- Too Much Own Characters-- This is a big no-no for me.
- Too Much details-- You may notice that I have lots of 'too much.' Well, let's just say that too much of a thing is bad, and this applies to everything, even details. Details are good, yes, but when you write too many of them, it stops the plot and you're, like, staring. You don't have to describe every shoe, every shifting, and every single thing.
- Too Much Explanations-- You have to make your readers feel like a detective. Like they're supposed to figure out everything on their own. You don't have to explain this and that and bring up a topic from the previous chapter. Trust that the reader will understand. From my experience, they will, so don't make them feel stupid and don't give too much explanations.
- Impossible THings-- Stories are usually better when they feel more realistic. You can't make a person rise from the dead, just for a 'happy ending.'
