TIPS AND TRICKS, General writing tips Options

[valkan]

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!

I meant that when the story's all purple prose and nobody gets what you're trying to say because it's so buried under the ornamentations. And I have to work on it too. It's not a strong point of mine.
