Making Mistakes the Right Way {a writing tip thread}

Description

 

"Everybody makes mistakes."-Hannah Montana

You're right on, Miley Cryus. Even though your acting wasn't that great, nor was your television show, you still captivated our tiny six-year old minds back then. At least...you captivated mine. Your television show taught me to be myself and don't be afraid to show your true colors. But most importantly, you taught me that everyone makes mistakes. Yes, we are humans. We make imperfections constantly. We can't help it, and that's a fact. But we make mistakes and we learn from them. That's the important thing. We learn from our mistakes, and this is why you're here. Because you, yes you are here to learn from your writing mistakes, in high hopes to never repeat them again. So with that said, let's begin exploring the incredible world of writing. Let's lose ourselves in our writing. That's our main goal, and we're sure to reach it. And let's keep that prudent quote in mind. 

"Everybody makes mistakes." 

So don't be afraid. 

Make mistakes.

But never.

Ever. 

Repeat them.

Let's begin, shall we? 

Foreword

Hm...I decided to try something new this time: a writing tip thread. It'll take my mind off writing my own stories, and perhaps it can improve your own writing as well! c: uhmm. This might turn into a rant too, but we'll see. Allow me to warn you all, but this is all my opinion. Solely MY OPINION. Do I need to exaggerate any further? MY OPINION.

Chapter 12: i agree, i love it when the writer put the twist inside the story (esp if the story was mystery! and more love if it's nicely written!) i was like 'wait, so all the time i was wrong? w-wait what?'

Chapter 13: Hey um, I have a question. I have a title for my story, but it is already the title of a real book, can I still use it?

Chapter 11: i thought the second person point of view is when the main character talks to the reader from within the book?

Chapter 11: I apologize, but I must disagree. In fact, the second person narrative is widely enjoyed in literature. Although it is hard to write, it can result in something beautiful when executed well. Heck, one of my favorite novels is written in the second person point of view. I understand that a lot of these so-called "you" fics on AFF are a load of crap, and I feel sad because they are butchering the second person narrative. However, I do not believe you should immediate judge a fic by the narrative/point of view it takes.

Chapter 13: Wah, that's too bad. But I can understand why you'd want to stop if your schedule is getting busy. Well, I won't be unsubscribing, but I hope you all the best! :)

Chapter 5: I totally agree.
I immediately lose interest in the fan fiction if it has terrible grammar and not the right font.
You give great tips by the way,thanks!
I'm bilingual, do you think my English is bad?

But as for me, the 2nd POV is a major turnoff. *shrug*
