Lets talk about writing. I have some tips and tricks to tell you all about this week

 So as some of you who read this may or may not know I am a writer. That is I enjoy writing in my (minuscule) free time. Now I have picked up a few ticks through writing and the (often weird) research I have done for said writing. So I figured that I would share some of those random tips with you readers.

1. Figure out what your end game is before you get really far into the story. This sounds crazy, but I have found if you know where you want to end it makes it easier to begin. This also keeps the story on a line and the audience focused.
2. Don't complicate everything. Complications make a good story, but everything being complex can really easily confuse readers. 
3. Getting stuck is ok don't stress about it. Here are some tips for how to get over that hill. Kill a character, Write how something could go horribly wrong, Write in another Point of View, Skip to the next scene you want to write, or write the very end.
4. Don't delete what you write. You may hate it now but you could use it later for a set up or even a spin-off. 
5. Just write. Don't think or plan out an intricate plot, but write what comes to your head. This gets all the random thoughts out and can even make an excellent story that you weren't expecting.
6. Spelling is important. I'm serious spelling and proper grammar makes every story easier to read. It will turn a reader away if you don't use the proper your or spell your as ur.  
7. Sound mature, no one wants to read something that sounds like it was written by a 7 year old who had just gotten their first computer and wanted to express themselves.
8. Write what comes to mind. Then go back a little bit later and make edits. It is easier to revise something great than to try and replicate something you deleted because you felt it didn't work.  

So that is my short and sweet list of things I thought you would find interesting and possibly helpful for writing. If you have any ideas of stuff to add let me know and I will see you next time.
