@Chaotic_Hyena Firstly, i am very flattered that you would ask me such a thing <3 But I am not really sure what tips I can give as I am by no means educated in this field. I just love making up stories in my head and do a passable job getting those ideas on paper though years of doing it over and over lol. I only just started putting things up for other people to read when I started on Wattpad. Anything I could tell you would probably sound lame to be honest, as I am literally trying to figure this stuff out too lol. But I guess I would say having a clear image as to where you want the story to go, and then a break down for each chapter before I write really helps me not only stay on track, but also keeps me motivated where I used to drop a book after a handful of chapters. This is also something I only just started doing in the last year myself. Before I just had a vague idea of a plot and then made it all up as I went lol. But I am afraid that I don't have anything as reliable as a guide or out line that I could confidently give others to follow.
Just know that if it is a story in your head that you find entertaining to think about, then it means that there will always be others that will probably enjoy it as well! Keep practicing, and don't be afraid to put yourself out there! And if the idea of writing is really something you think you will love, then keep at it. For nearly 20 years i was the only one reading my stories, and I have to say that the last two years of writing here has really improved my writing, my motivation, and my passion. I am sure you can do it too <3
Er, sorry... this went on long XD. this is what happens when I look at my comments before I have had my morning coffee lol! Good luck with your writing!
