Echo's Guide To Writing A [Somewhat] Good Story

Hey everyone! It's Echox3 here, and while I was watching Family Guy, I thought that making a guide might be cool. And if not, you don't have to read it.

And plus, I've had a few people ask how I write so... Well? :P So here we go...

Don't squish everything into one huge paragraph. When a new person talks, add a space. It's annoying when everything is squished together, and you lose your spot.

Don't forget to use Spell Check after you finish writing the chapter. It's annoying when you see all these spelling mistakes.

Use proper grammar! It annoys a lot of people when you see a sentence that doesn't make sense.

Even when a new person isn't talking, you can leave a space between everything. It makes everything a little neater. =)

Don't add chat speak into the story unless your making the characters instant message, or text. Otherwise it's just lame.

Don't just do the same thing over and over. Add some action, and use cliff hangers sometimes.

Just follow these simple rules, and you should be getting more reads soon. =)

[And if it doesn't work, come complain here.]
