How To Write a PROPER Story

Description

Any man who keeps working is not a failure. He may not be a great writer, but if he applies the old-fashioned virtues of hard, constant labor, he’ll eventually make some kind of career for himself as writer.
- Ray Bradbury

 

A lot of people, including me, struggle with the art of writing. So I decided that I needed to become a teacher...and educate people on how to properly write stories. It will be information that i've leartn as I grow as a writer. This doesn't mean you'll get more subscribers...few authors who write properly get many subscribers.

I'll be going over topics like: creating good characters, organizing your plot, writing creative characters for apply stories, using propper grammar, describin stuff, etc. I'm even going to answer some questions! Ask away! I will be maybe providing videos also ;

If you would like to participate, you can ask questions, make topic suggestions (if anyone would like to make a layout for this story, please PM me! ^^)

Sound good to you? Then subscribe and we'll get started! Starting January i'm starting a creative writing certificate, so i'll share some new found knwoledge with you ^^

You have some helpful advice, but the grammar and spelling mistakes that litter a few of your chapters take a lot away from what you are trying to tell your readers. It's great that you are trying to help others and give some good advice, but when your work is littered with mistakes, it takes away some of the credibility you are trying to build up with this story.

I'm not trying to be a grammar Nazi, because I'm not one, but it would help if you could check over your chapters for spelling mistakes and at least make sure you have the basics of grammar down like knowing when to capitalize your sentences. Especially when you often switch between capitalizing and not capitalizing your sentences. If you stuck to doing just one of them, it would have been okay (and I don't mean using all caps for words to provide emphasis, I'm meaning some sentences have the correct capitalization, while others do not), but you didn't and for someone like me, a lot of times I can't take what you are trying to say seriously.

So I'm not trying to be a hater or anything here, but I suggest fixing up what you have written a bit, because not only would it make you seem more professional but also give you some extra credibility points for those that may want to potentially use this. The ideas are good, but how it's presented may make some people question your advice, even if it's well thought out and actually good advice.

I can understand that there may be a few mistakes here and there, because not everyone is perfect, but going through and making sure everything is at least spelled correctly and basic grammar rules are followed for the most part will definitely help you in the long run.

i praise you xD
My main problem is.. i'm too impulsive 0_o i write the first chapter of the story, then i COMPLETELY lose interest in it and stop writing it, especially apply stories. But i feel obligated to keep writing because they all worked so hard on their applications ....... ._.
anyway...
the big drama writing project seems cool, i would love to join but the only problem is that I KNOW i'm just gonna get lazy and never do my part T-T its awful, its SO hard for me to dedicate more than 20 minutes on writing per day... unless its a oneshot or something... o_o
