I think it would be good and helpful to make a thread about writing tips :D
I'll go first: I find that when you're editing your story, it's good to break down every sentence by saying them outloud and fixing what sounds wrong (or doesn't fit). Nine times out of ten, you'll correct yourself automatically! Naturally this only works with English, but even if you have a general knowledge of the language, it should come naturally! Also, if you're having trouble don't be afraid to ask another for help, sometimes you will need the eyes of another to be brutal so your fans won't! ~~~ "Wheels within wheels..."

Okay, I know this may sound stupid, but I feel like I should point it out.
NEVER and I mean NEVER write a Wall of Text. Not only are they a pain in the ass to read, they're sore to the eyes and a sure sign of bad writing skill. USE PARAGRAPHS. THEY SAVE US ALL PAIN. ~~~ [20:15] Irysa: I hate myself
