My Tips :

1. Write only what you know and research things that you don't:
Writing everything you know in stories gives your readers more information and more detail. This keeps the reader hooked once they can picture every little thing in your story

2. READ!!! READ!!! READ!!
This is a REALLY good thing to do. Read a lot! Magazines, Newspapers, Books, Articles. All of this can give you a lot of ideas for your stories! And every author writes different. The way they write can give you great inpirations also.

3. Use you writing devices!
This is probably the most important tip. Use your Writing devices. Adjectives, Adverbs, Similies, Metapors, Aliteration, Onomatopoeia, Homophones, Homographs, Antonyms, Personification, and Synonyms.

*Adjectives-modifies nouns. Instead of saying I love that car you can say I love that red car. It gives the reader's more detail so that they can acually picture that car.

*Adverbs-modifies verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. In stead of say I love that red car you can say I love that cherryred car. Again, more detail A lot of Adverbs end in ly (rapidly, beautifully, quickly)

*Similes-Comparing something with as or like. Ex. She was as pretty as an angel. She was like an angel.

*Metaphors-Carparing something without like or as. Ex. Billie Joe is a fox. Instead of saying Billie Joe was like a fox.

*Aliteration-It's like a sentence that has the same letter in the beginning of each word. Ex. Peter Piper Picked a pair of pickled green peppers. HAHA

*Onomatopoeia-words that express sound like BAM!!! POW!! Sizzle! CRACK!!! lol And i do not know why it's called Onomatopoeia. it just is. HAHA!

*Homophones and Homographs-Words that are pronounced the same but with different meaning like Heir, Hare, and Hair. to, too, and two, blew and blue

*Antonyms-words with opposite meaning like Hot and cold

*Synonyms-Using different words that mean the same like cold and freezing and hot and warm

*Personificatin-Giving non-living things human charateristics Ex. The wind whistled through the trees.
