Writing Tips

Hey guys and gals, after a discussion with a friend, it has come to my attention that offering writing tips would be quite helpful. I've decided to try to compile some tips and tricks to help improve in writing skills. I am by no means a professional, nor do I hold a degree in this particular subject. The majority of this will come from personal experience, opinions, and also digging through outside sources.
I hope you all can find a way to benefit from this or know of someone this could help. Again, I'm no professional at this. I'm doing this to help my fellow writers and followers. happy writing and stay Thirsty ~
