Go crazy!
Yes, seriously go wild. Brainstorm, and have a tablet of pad of paper to write down your ideas. It can be helpful to have a friend beside you to pitch in, or help you calm down. 😊
Connect the dots!
Look at your ideas, and have a set purpose or goal. Write out the main arch or issue, with little mini arch and issues within it. Keep the ideas that work and you like.
Have fun!
It is tough to keep up writing when you set a goal of how much you write, but take brain breaks, go outside and get some fresh air. Write little mini stories of your characters in different setting to get to know term better. For example, I usually have them get groceries or get stuck in traffic (lol).
Read it out loud!
Read it to yourself, this can help you catch errors. This missing words phenomenon is caused by our brains filling in the gaps because we know what we want to write. Peer editors help, and plugging the whole thing into Google Translate has helped my pals as well.
No run on sentences because they can get boring, not to mention they just don't look pretty, and it's always best to learn how to be concise, which means small worded or short.
Hope this helps!
As per usual, let me know what ya think, vote, comment, and ask me questions!
