How to get the story out of your head and on the page. A collection of blog posts full of writing tips and encouragement. Writing is an ongoing learning experience and whether your a successful novelist or about to pen your first book, there's always room for tips and encouragement. I'll be posting weekly instalements here and I hope you find something that helps you with your writing. Cheers! And if you're thirsty for more, I've compiled some of my most popular writing posts all in one place on my blog under the 'For Writers' tab.

Warning: This book WILL make you successful on Wattpad! Are you an unknown author wanting to gain success on Wattpad? Tried everything and you're still unnoticed? Hi, I'm Mike Limjoco and I've done it all on Wattpad. I have hit a million reads on two of my books, and I've made it to the first page of the Hot List in five categories, including a dual #1 in Sci/Fi and Fantasy, two of Wattpad's toughest genres. I was also a finalist in the 2013 Watty Awards, and my book Kuro has been selected as a Featured Story on Wattpad where it was on the front page of Wattpad for a month. And I did it all in less than a year! This book has actually produced several #1 books from authors who were previously unknown. Don't believe me? Read the success stories and hear from fellow authors in this book! Read the comment sections to see actual case studies from other authors who have had success. Bottom line, this book works. Try it if nothing else has worked for you. You might just be surprised to find your book sitting on the first page of the Hot List ;)

So, I was doing a critique tonight. And it was the person’s first book. And I was writing a bunch of the same things that I’ve written on a million other critiques since I started on Wattpad. And, it occurred to me that I keep giving people the same advice—advice that nobody gave me—and advice that beginner writer’s NEED. So I decided to put some of it down in a book, although I’m guessing most people won’t read it. Haha But the title pretty much says it all...

What writer's block is, why it happens, and strategies that might actually help. *Includes actual citations* (In case you care. Which you should.)

Do you struggle with coming up with ideas? Do you pause in the middle of a project, stuck and unsure what to do next? Do you have a hard time focusing your energy and staying productive? Your Creative Well is the guide that will help you unlock your creativity and reach your true potential! EVERYONE is capable of creativity. That includes YOU! It's time to take your creativity to the next level. Are you ready?

I will no longer be updating this guide. I'm leaving it up in case it will continue to be helpful to anyone in the future. People have asked me writing tips, Wattpad tips, and whatever. This is some of that advice I give them. Keep in mind most of this is my opinion in addition to things other people have taught me to do and not to do. It is by no means 100% to be followed but only a guide to get you thinking. The beauty of writing is that there is no one correct answer. We each learn and adapt to our own personal styles.

Nothing sucks more than wanting to write but you're empty of ideas. Especially when you know your imagination works but it's just blocked up with writers flu. Here's a guide to unstick yourself by using Tarot cards to build a story. This could aid you in new ideas or just be a fun writing exercise to work those creative muscles. You don't have to believe in magic to use them but you do need to own a deck to follow the tasks in this book. This book uses established writers' story structure tips and adds the fun of tarot cards. The last chapter has a quick how-to on personal readings. Updated 01/05/2020 Added a few things since I've developed more with my cards and study.
