5. Don't overwork yourself. If you get stuck, that's okay! Just take a break (as long as you need). It's better to take a break than to try to force yourself to write when you're not in the right mindset (I had to learn this the hard way, the writing just really doesn't turn out well).
6. If you're wanting to focus on your grammar/spelling, there's two ways you can go about that. The first, just writing everything out and then going back to reread (you should ALWAYS reread, regardless). Or the second, just correct as you go. There's always sites you can use to check your grammar later on, but that's the ONLY time I recommend using AI.
7. Please never use AI to write your story. I know it's a really popular thing right now, but I find it very noticeable when reading things, and it's very sad. Writing should be a fun outlet, not a way to become popular. Asking AI to write for you is not as cool as it may seem. To people who truly like to read, human mistakes and creative thinking are ALWAYS better than whatever AI can come up with.
8. Last but definitely not least, you'll get better with time. A lot of people stress thinking their writing isn't good compared to others (NEVER compare yourself to others!) A lot of these really great authors have been writing for YEARS! Or have already gone through school designed to help them get better at writing. I personally have not had any proper training to write besides basic English classes, but I started creative writing when I was around 10 years old. You will get better with time and practice. And no one is perfect! Everyone makes mistakes, even the best authors. I know I still make a lot of mistakes, but you can always go back and fix them, that's the great thing about writing.
So hopefully these tips are somewhat helpful, and I hope you have fun! You can tell me when you post your story, I would love to read it ♥️
