-All good writers start as good readers. Read different fanfiction to get ideas on what things work and what don't. Other people's stories are your textbooks!!!! (I'm putting some of my favorites in another section. Wanna see yours there? I wanna see your story!!)

- "Never underestimate the transformative power of transforming your feelings your feelings and thoughts into words. If you can express it, you can understand it, control it, and change it." -Kiersten White

- The first chapter is usually just for the author to get to know the characters, setting, ect. analyze it. Unless something really important is happening, you can usually just cut it out.  

-Detail is important, but you don't need to describe every little thing (sleeping, eating, going to the bathroom, ect. Please don't describe going to the bathroom. Your readers will thank you. :D)

- Never end a chapter with your character falling asleep, unless it makes it dramatic. Having your character fall asleep gives your audience the impression of, oh, it's okay to go now. Let them get a nice, long rest.

- Give yourself permission to be a daydreamer.
