so this isn't really going to be writing tips, but I'm just going to show you guys how I write,a dn maybe show you one of my old stories.

When I'm making a story, to be honest, I just come up with the base of a story line. For example the first story I ever wrote was about a girl who could talk to animals and had special abilities. I had no idea where i was going with the story and mostly just wrote down what came to mind at the time, i was also really into danganronpa at the time ( I still think it's amazing) and was absolutely obsessed with it, so I decided to make it similar to the second game. ( My favorite one.) Meaning that my brain decided that it was a good idea to make it like a virtual reality thing but way more angsty. I still to this day have absolutely no idea where that story was going.

However now me and my sister came up with a story out of nowhere, and we built literally the entire world the hierarchy, the monsters, the magic, the species, and pretty much everything else about that world. I have no idea where I even got the idea for that story, but I think it's coming along nicely ( Even though i haven't written anything about it and have just been making the world.)

To be honest, when writing a story I believe that it's better to come up with one part of the story and expand from there. For example (again) my other book ( that only has two chapters because I'm lazy) I had role played as the main character and had come up with his backstory then I had built the rest of the world and went from there, and even then I kinda just winged it for the story line. I did have a base plot and story, but I didn't know how to get there or anything. Which, if you're trying to post in reasonable amounts of time, is very difficult.

Also when writing my first book the story was incredibly cringy, and things would happen it the book that would'nt make since of would be so grammatically incorrect that you would just close the book and throw it across the room.

Now I know you may all be like 'It wasn't that bad' , well I'm going to show you just how bad it was, and I won't edit it or anything It'll be exactly as I wrote it.

THE ANAKATOR

( I think that this was meant to be a mix between the words 'animal' and 'communicator')

It's almost the end of summer break and I'm dreading the return of school. For today I'm not going to worry to much I'm Just gonna Focous on getting as many fish as possible..."Look! look! I cought a big one!" adam exclaims. "Sush adam you're so loud!" I say in retalation as the fish helplessly flops around like crazy. " we don't NEED all the neighbors yelling at us a.k.a you for bieng so loud."

"Ok ok but why are we doing this again?" Adam askes quizzicly. I sighed " I've told you this a million times Adam how could you forget already." I pause tying to recall what I said when I had Just found the awaenser Adam blurted  " see you don't even kn-", I cut him off giring him my death glare and said " Do you wish to Die?" he shook his head with a look of fear in his eyes, and i continued." We are doing this because in fall all the water drains out and all the fish die, so we are moving them to another stream that doesn't drain out!"

"But how many more fish are there We have caught like a quazillion!" (quassont) " I don't know how many more fish there are." i snapped

We said nothing for the rest of the time. when we finally got home mom called us and said " tomarrow we are going to the barbers shop to get new hair cuts!."

" But mom!" me and adam both said sorrowfully. " No buts you both NEED new hair cuts you both look like ragamuffins with rats nestes in your hair yeach" we both surpressed a giggle then I whined "But the barbler HATES me she really desoises me why so we have to gooooooo." " because I said so now go to bed so we can make it to the barbers on time." she said Adam and I for a brief secon exchanges a look and headed for bed.

(Y'know what's even sadder than the beginning of my story? It's the fact that it goes on for 5 more chapters, and this isn't even the end of the first chapter.)

Will someone please fix this, because I swear, if I have to look at this stupid book one more time I'm going to get out the shredder.
