how to write?

 

Yes, yes. I may not be the most successful author in this site, nor am I good at writing, but still, I know better.

The catch: I'm not good at writing, but I have an idea. 

The breaking news: You can be one to, with the exception of your writing!

 

Simple problems, big solutions. [To be honest, right now I'm crying and being so bitter because EXO K is in here in my country and I can't even freaking support them. Lucky fans, lucky fans. But no, it won't do me good right? And finding a solution to my ache is a big project~!] And so does your writing.

If it concerns you, or if I can't persuade you to go write ty scribbles, you can visit various blogsites from authors! [link below]

 

Here is my top -- steps and important notes for begginers!

1. First note: like what I have said, you don't need to be skilled and good on writing.

2. The most important thing that you should have is an idea [especially genres like fantsy and dystopia]

3. The idea, as what I have said, is the most precious thing that will protect you from harm! Use it wisely!

4. The characters, nahh you can't make one! Like hell, this is a fanfic site, and characters come from various groups!

5. You have a character, but how will you make him/her real? Simple.

6. Create a world where you can live in. Words can describe them, that's true, but you can make them real by making your characters reflect to the world they live in. Not just the world, but the life he/she has in your story. Make your character blurt out his/her opinion about your make-out world.

7. Characters should be real in your mind, that keeps them entertaining whenever you write. Make them your bestfriends, and ask what will they do on a situation where you cannot find a resolution to. It still depends on your character's behavior or characteristics.

8. Getting back on the idea, you should make them entertaining and persuasive.that actually fall on title selection

9. How to? Well, based on my amateuristic experience (excuses) writing fiction is the simplest form of literature I'm working on. Why? Because you can create a world that's not possible! You can make it a dimension towards your feelings! [eg: you're mad at your society and you can make a story wherein the main focus is the government and how they will react to it. Make a world that's opposite to yours, and make sure they're believeable and that there is humor and sense to it.] It won't be debatable because it's not real for the devil's name!They are my friend!

10. Conflicts and plot? Follow the rule. Follow Freytag's pyramid.

11. Notebook and pens are your new bestfriends. To tell you the truth, I have bought two log books and they're not even half-way there! Although I admit, it totally helps! LIKE OMG IT REALLY HELP! And I'm not even joking for a bit. To tell you why: You can list down everything! everything, I can assure you that, dear friend. Lists like character names, character traits, names, ideas (on this part of #11, I there's a part of those log books where you can see ALL my ideas and possible conflicts for DELIRIUM, and I'm not even convinced on all of them. Either way, it still keeps me updated on how and what to make of next), your final plot and synopsis, your few scribbled chapters, all! So now I introduce you a friend. **you're welcome.

12. Chapters. Chapters. Chapters. I, myself, came across this problem. Yeah, totally wrecked on this part. But first, what is a chapter? *assignment

13. So now you have research #12, and now comes the next question: How to write one?

14. You don't need a research on that one. Swear, because here it is...

15. Chapters, if it concerns you, doesn't need to be that lond. As long as it's consice and it spurts down important scenes or details, you don't need to worry! What's worse is chapters full of ty and deep words wherein you're not even sure if they exists on your dictionary. Always think of the good side, not the important yet vulnerable ones. (again, #15 is only for those who concerns the foretold problem)

16. Chapters must contain usable scenes or informations that will advance your story to the next level. If you're good on words, and if you made your mom proud by answering vocabulary enrichment tests, then good. At least you can fill your MS Word document with those

17. Writing styles. Hmm... it doesn't really circle around certain possibilities of some sort, if that made sense, or does that really concern a lot of you guys, but still, I have something to say! Writing styles, as I have noticed or observed, depends on your story's perspective; if it is first person, so on. If your characters talk in your story, then that's better. Although I warn you that making your story in perspective of your character makes it hard and hard and hard for you to show the character's initial and outer self. Because what speaks in that perspective is the character's thoughts.

18. If you are the one doing the talking, then that's better too. Third persons tends not to break apart, although that's hard too. You can't just walk around and say what your character's thoughts are, especially on certain scenes. Do you get me? It's like reading one's thoughts, even though it came from you or the author, and third persons are always used so you can just read some and observe the transition of their writing.

19. Get a cup of coffee and write, then type, then read, then edit, then consult your puppy, then post.

20. Don't worry if you feel that your chapter is the worst thing ever. That's natural for authors, and the reason is this: because you made it. You read it many times, eons ago, and your just that irritable of reading the same thing over and over again. What matters is this: the idea, the character, coffee.

 

Whew. Hope I did help. HA HA HA. Although these links will help you more (based from me myself & I):

I still have problems of my own, so questions and blurs can be asked on my tumblr! Thanks! xoxo

 


EXO in the Philippines like right now. They're walking on pavements I have set foot on, I'm inhaling the same air they're inhaling. AHHHHHHHHH!

If you're wondering why am I such a scared pig, then I'll tell you this: the hardest part of being a fan is not seeing them even if you were given a chance by the Almighty God, and not being able to support them even though they won't notice you. Who am I to be stared at by my idols? Like hell, I wish I was being looked at. Forget this words. Those words. They're vomit. Please, forget them.

oh thank you so much! this is helpful, i'll be sure to use these steps when writing next time!
i'm guessing maybe i should use notebooks and pens now if it helps that much. Usually, I write in my drafts in my email on my phone so if i ever have an idea i can just type it on there, but it doesn't visually please me, so everything gets all confusing whenever i try to look for certain things, haha xD
