OMG That's so funny, but true.

My tip: Don't write mechanically. Your story isn't a rule book, try to be creative and approach scenes differently. Shake it up!

I'm so used to thinking about animals using terms like ventral or proximal that it just comes out naturally. I think just about the only one I could really get away with in a story is posterior. Maybe dorsal if I'm talking about sharks or whales.

I totally had another tip I was going to share and I forgot it. I'll think of it again in a few days.

Don't tell the readers that your character is angry, show us his angry face and how his fists clenched as his face grew red. Use the five senses when describing. What does your character see, touch, smell, taste, and hear.

pariah: So I'm thinking about getting a start on my novel FF (The Four Friends - but the title is lame, so I shorten it to excuse the childishness to it. But I created it when I was quite young so I refuse to change it for that matter.) I won't be going public c/ Aug 16, 2013 14:55:57 GMT -7

pariah: with this thing, but I would like some readers to read it via PMs, and the such. You'd be given credit as editors on both the storyline and typos/grammatical sense. I would like the age range of the readers to be between late teens (over 16) to early 20s. Aug 16, 2013 14:57:43 GMT -7
