Hello, this is Exoxm90 and I'm currently bored right now so I decided to do a blog about writing. So yeah, I hope this helps :)

NOTE: I'm no professional so don't take everything as the truth, mostly are rants.. And oh, sorry if my examples .. I'm on writer's block. --

 

> 1: I always stumbles into a fanfic where the author puts Your POV (E.g. Luhan's POV) then they will add asteries "*" to everything they think. I think it's best to remove that habit cause it's their Point of view so no need to put an asteries. Instead, just make it in italic. For author's pov, you can use the word 'thought'. Here's an example.

- His eyes locked with mine and I felt goosebumps appear. I hate him.

- She looks ugly, Baekhyun thought.

NOTE: Always put comma "," after the thought. It looks so much better.

 

>2: Don't overuse punctuation marks. It doesn't look good.

Instead of - Really???

It should be - Really?

 

>3: Refrain from using abbreviations like Pls or ok. It doesn't really fit in.

Instead of - Pls do it for me.

It should be - Please do it for me.

See? It looks more neat.

 

>4: I always stumble into fics where they always use Korean words like Arraso, Umma, Appa, Jagiya, Saranghae and If you overuse it, it kind of gets annoying. I don't know if anyone can relate into this but it's not my style.

Instead of - Oppa, Saranghae neomu much. Mianhe for shouting.

It should be - (Name), I love you too much. I'm sorry for shouting.

NOTE: You can use words like oppa and unnie if your story is a Korean/Korea-based. 

 

>5: Don't mix up your writing. It doesn't look good. 

Instead of - "I'm sorry!" She yells from downstairs but no one replies. -Sigh-

It should be - "I'm sorry!" She yells from downstairs but no one replies so she just sigh in defeat.

 

>6: In conversations, do not use other marks. Stick with the "". I actually hate, it. Even the authors who does this 'Me: Hi, What's your name?'

Instead of - He looks at her, -I actually liked you, before-

Me: What's your name?

It should be - He looks at her, "I actually liked you, before."

I looked at him and asked, "What's your name?"

 

>7: Always remember to use the proper punctuation marks and always make the first letter in every sentence capital. Also, the Proper nouns. Don't forget that.

Instead of - She looks at her, "really!! i don't know?"

It should be - She looks at her, "Really? I don't know!"

NOTE: So yeah, don't overuse punctuation marks just like what I said on tip #2. Also, use the proper one. Really! should be Really?

 

>8: Remember to put spaces after periods or commas. It hurts the reader's eyes.

Instead of - He smiles at me and pecks me on the cheek,"Happy birthday, love."

It should be - He smiles at me and pecks me on the cheek, "Happy birthday, love."

 

>9: Don't put too much details. Sometimes, it gets boring and the readers just skips that part. Also, try to describe everything more realistic, it will attract the readers attention.

 

>10: Don't use deep words with deep meanings. You don't want your reader to go search for it in google or maybe comment about it, right?

 

>11: Always know the difference between Your and You're. Its and it's. Keep that in mind.

 

>12: Check your grammars and spelling before publishing the story. Check the sentences if it relates with the subject and check if things are happening too fast for your liking. If you're not sure about your grammars and spellings, ask someone who is fluent to help you.

 

>13: Opinions from the readers are very important but don't change anything about your story. It's just an opinion from a reader, I'm pretty sure many more likes it.

 

>14: Do not overuse the words Him, Her, She or He. It gets annoying.

Instead of - She laughs and then smacks him playfully. She positions herself once again but failed. She laughed more and more until tears are coming out from her eyes.

It should be - She laughs and then smacks him playfully. She positions herself once again but failed. The blonde girl laughed more and more until tears are coming out from her eyes.

NOTE: I don't even know if those sentences that I made are right... LOOOL. But you can use adjective to describe someone or something too. Quit sticking with Him, Her..... but don't overuse adjectives too. Try to balance both adjectives and pronouns.

 

>15: If you're dividing your stories, use to some dividers like this:

***

---

^^^

Don't overuse it like this:

********************

-----------------------------------

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

>16: Use the apostrophe if needed. Don't use it if it's not appropriate.

Dont - Don't

Wont - Won't

Wouldnt - Wouldn't

 

END

 

I really really hope it helped a bit! I'm not a professional, I know that. Those are just my opinions but it can help too, right? ^^

Also, I didn't add this cause it's kind of inaproppriate. In writing s, make it detailed. The -readers will surely love it. (LOL)

Another thing, if the story ends always put END on the last part or something.

Wah, I hope it helped! WOOT!

 

Ps: This is my first blog, LAWL. Kay. Bye!
