FIRST TIPS: Sundan niyo yung sinabi ko na steps and also the other information. It is important to have knowledge how to write (not in a specific genre). Practice writing more.
You should also know the types of story and to include those parts of the story. If nagaya na ang concept na gusto mong gawin,nay lagyan mo ng twist or baligtarin mo yung isang situation na common na.
SECOND TIP: As i said sa steps. You should be clear on what you are going to say or the focus of the story.
THIRD TIP: In terms of writing it, give the story or essay with emotion. Put your heart on it.. well i know most of you do that.
It is up to you kung paano ang style ng pagsusulat mo. We have two style with this: the poetic or the journalistic.
- Poetic means yung deep, you use words na kakaiba sa tao, nagdudugtung ang mga salita or yung tula talaga or gumagamit ka ng mga figurative speeches.
- Journalistic naman third person of view ang madalas na ginagamit dito or what you call the formal way, para syang letter style. Which this is the clear stuff thingy. Mostly sa bibliographies ito or diaries.
But as a reader i suggest you use a poetic if story ang iyong gagawin.
FOURTH TIP: You have to be observant. Focus ka sa nakikita mo, you are having conclusion of things na nacucurious ka about that, that you end up making the story of one person/ family or you describe a one event. Kaya nagagawan mo siya ng story.
FIFTH TIP: These 5 R's from The writing instructor.
Real life- Of course! This is non fiction.
Research- You have that to gain knowledge about writing, Writing Non fiction, difference of genres, plots and tips.
You have to Research about the life of Filipinos or yung mga tao sa places na yun, figurative words (if poetic style ka), knowledges and etc.
Reading- Same as research, gaining knowledge.
Rewrite- You have to practice, have experiences. You have to write and write and write.
Reflection- Or what you call the conclusion or what you have learn on that situation or the story you have made.
But of you hindi lang sa moral story nagfofocus ang sinabi kong natutunan. This gives you knowledge, give you experience at dinadagdagan niya ang learnings mo.

SIXTH TIP: Make a story that is memorable, yung kaakit akit sa tao. Yung may heartfelt, yung may theme or moral story.
SEVENTH TIP: Give an amusing plot.
Other information: Yung parang experienced na makakarelate sila but at the end may magandang plot sila na mamemeet at the end or the at the climax of the story.
EIGHT TIP: If hindi mo nagugustuhan yung flow or yung pagakkaorganize ng story or chapter mo. It's okay take time to review it, read it from the 5r's, and to rewrite it.
NINTH TIP: Mas maganda if you use we or us rather than you or yours. Mas maganda if third person and POV because kayo ang nakakita or since non fiction ito, para itong MMK. Para kayong nagkwekwento lang ganon.
But if you are doing a blog use you instead of I. Para naman maencourage ang readers mo na parang sila din ang nakakaexperienced non.
