Okay. Let's get serious. I mean, real serious.

First thing's first. I'm not a professional writer, not even deserve to be called one. (That sounds funny.) I'm just going to give you all some simple tips or styles I have gathered in my life as a writer.

So, in writing story, there are a lot of considerations. I'm just going to list the basic considerations in writing, I hope they help.

• Plot

The plot is important. It is where the story cycles. There are clichè stuff, and that's unavoidable. Well, if synopsis is sort of clichè, you can add plot twist at the start or in the middle part of the story.

• Introduction
I do believe that writing the prologue or the start of the story is the hardest part. Because in this part, it is the basis if the story is interesting or not. So, as much as possible, make your introduction enthralling.

• Characters.
Of course, characters are important. Giving a life inside a book is only simple, if you put your emotions inside the story.

• Ending
This part is also hard. My opinion though. You have to ask yourself if you'll end your story in a happily-ever-after type or in tragedy. The dilemma is real. But it's your choice.

❥ How I write.

• Since it's only on the Wattpad, I limit all my words. It's because I believe that too much detailed story is boring. Well, I'm like that in my case. If I'm going to write a novel, expect the detailed and graphic writings.

Whenever I wander around in Watty worlds, I pick some random books, and open them. Then, when the story is full of details, and the words used are 4k to 5k per chapter, my golly, I leave the story immediately.

For me, this is Wattpad, not a novel book.

• I write in a decent way.

I mean, no emoticons. e.g., (-___-) , (+___+) , (^__^) , (T___T)

Even the asterisk stuff. You know, like this:

As I thought. *smirks*

*roll eyes* Shut up!

*sniff* kasi, *sniff* iniwan niya ako. huhuhu.

Add this:

ANG PANGIT MO! XD - me

Also:

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHA! WAHAHAHAHA! asdfGHJKL LOL

If your story is like this, I suggest you to change your writing style. It's actually a disappointment. Yes, you might have the greatest story idea inside your head, but if the descriptions suck, your formal readers will leave in no time.

• I am not really using horrible cusses, swears, and invulgar words just to express something. Use other way to express their emotions.

• I properly use punctuation marks.

Sometimes, when I'm in the mood, I read stories here. And my observation, most of the stories mistake are the punctuations. A story punctuated rightly will leave a good impression to your readers. Also, please don't be so lazy in putting marks if the sentence needed punctuations.

• Grammar. Proper grammar is my burden. Well, I used to get a lot of bashes with my readers because they say that my works are full grammatical errors. I don't know. Maybe I really suck in writing in English. Mostly, my errors were the prepositions. Sigh. I need to improve them, because they are really tricky! The in, on, at and etc.

• Spacings. If you will a story, I ask you not put a lot of spacings. It's actually bothersome to your readers flipping or scrolling the pages. And it cuts the flow of the emotion of a one's story. One space is enough.

• Ideas. Some of the ideas were plagiarized, weren't they? Face the truth. Yes, they were. Just think of ideas that only your own. It will make you unique as a writer.

• Choose your own writing style. Tagalog, English, or Taglish, it's your choice. Writing in narration or in character's point of view. If your choice is writing in narration, please don't use dull words, nonsense paragraphs before it gets to main plot of story/chapter. In writing POV's, make sure that you won't change POV's more often. It's actually a dismay.

❥ What I need when writing.

• Silence . . . my dear old friend.

Of course, when writing, we need silence. Locking yourself inside your room helps. If no one's watching you writing, the ideas and emotions will flow continuously.

• Music.

I usually listen to piano pieces when writing. Sometimes, inspirational songs. Always listen to the songs you're comfortable with.

• Food.

Your comfort food.

• Notebook and pen.

You'll need them because you need to write the sudden ideas cross on your mind.

• Emotions.

You can't create a character without emotions. Always remember that a character's attitude reflects on the author. And do use too much 'hugot lines' just to express their feelings. If you will use the 'hugot lines', please use it in formal way.

• Time.

One of the problems of the author. Yes, we appreciate the 'please update' you readers are requesting. But as for my perception, receiving 'please update' request is pressure for me. Well, I'm really a busy person (or trying to be one) and finding time to write is really rare. That's why wait until I update.

❥ Advices

• Always take down notes. Whatever ideas, phrases, quotations, and images may come to your mind, write it.

• Reading other's stories will help you to give ideas. Don't copy other's works, just pick the ideas. By reading other's works will absorb the ideas, it's the part of improving.

• Watching movies and animes will also help.

• Continue writing. Whatever you do, (designing, painting, singing, cooking, playing instruments, and etc) it will give you ideas on your mind.

• Always daydream. Create an imaginary friend. It sounds childish, but trust me, it helps a lot.

• Go to a place where you can be comfortable. You can also go to a park, library, greenhouse, or cafe. Try changing environment. Even going in a dark place, it helps you to think clearly. Well, personally speaking, when I write, I lock myself in my room, lights off, it's just me and my world.

• Don't get discouraged. Yes, people may give you negative words, but don't let it into you. (Wow, look who's talking.) Your works may be bad, lacks of votes, reads, comments, right now, but believe me, being a sucker will push the trigger to be motivated in writing.

• Make your fellow writers be your rival. This may sound competitive, but if applying this advice will help you to improve, so why not? Having a rival will make you grow and keep you away from committing errors whenever you write.

• Lastly, be weird. You hear me? Be weird. I won't say much of this, but I assume, you know what I mean.

- Well, there are tons of these. Did I help? You feel writing now? Thank you for reading~ ♡

Love,
Me
