How to write:

No offense to anyone... Except maybe the owl in the garage, listen, I don't care what you have written, Hedwig, I will not publish that book.


First, think of the characters, maybe have dark secrets, wierd facts, an odd saying... Etc. Make sure that at least you know who these characters are and what they're doing, an example:

Moriko Kyami, 17,
A Perky Green-haired girl who loves nature. She is studying gardening and has dyed her hair green to show her support for nature. She is spontanious and often abandons her friends for a just cause. Secretly, she is lonely as she lives in a treehouse alone in the nearby forest, but she doesn't tell anyone this. She loves animals and occasionally dresses up like one for laughs. Her catchphrase is "A planty time." Which she uses in reference to a good time


I like Japan, and that is the basis for this character. Names can easily be found online.


Ohh... And do a biography for every one of the main characters until you have a story forming. 2-4 protagonists are good with an equal amount of antagonists. Minor characters are exempt from this.


Second, story.


We need a plot. before we can start. Think of around 3 short stories before starting to write and write up a lot of drafts. I've been working on a plot for over 3 years... I have a folder full of trivia... I'm designing an entire world including a religion. Please think of a story.


Third, the styling, please use adjective and catchy sentences so that we can grow attached to the writing, use a wide range of adjectives so that you can really have a planty time. And finally, the most important thing:


FORMAT!


I don't mind if something rubbish as long as it's readable. If you have three paragraphs per story, blocks of dialogue on the same line as other bits of dialogue and random bolding of text... I will not read it. It sucks. I cannot read it as you are probably rushing your ideas without explaing them and also: PARAGRAPHING AND CAPITALISING CREATES EMPATHSIS! By creating this empathsis, you can draw a reader to read a long story at any point.


That's all... I'm going to write up a fantasy college story soon.
