Tips to Mibba writers!

I wrote this yesterday, but I was adding more five minutes ago or so & my sister just completely closed the tab. It really upset me!
Anyways here it is again, typed up:

Hey guys!

This journal entry will be solely focused on helping other Mibba writers who have trouble or problems. Yes, I do write my own stories but I do observe those people that write, so here it is:

-->MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS WRITTEN PROPERLY!
Always make sure there are no grammar mistakes. It doesn't take that long to find them and change it. Sometimes other authors rush through it...DON'T ever rush your work. Maybe your better of taking days to post a chapter, just make sure everything is written properly. You should rather have a great written story two days later, than a poorly written one in less than an hour while watching Jersey Shore. Make sure mistakes like their & they're aren't mixed up. What are you, in grade four? Just be careful. Make sure to have proper dialogue written down. Example:
Adam - Hey *smiles*
Natalie - Hey to you too! *smiles back*
^ WHAT KIND OF STORY IS THIS?!?!
--> POINT OF VIEWS!
Never mix up the point of views! Always write who's point of view the chapter or part is in. There are those stories that alternate from two people repeating the same dialogue but different thoughts...that gets boring easily! Nobody likes reading the same thing over and over again. In fact, it's better to have one or two point of views (every now and then). Keep a little bit of mystery. Don't always write what each person is thinking. Example:
Chapter one; the girl talks to him. "Omg, I wonder if he likes me?"
Chapter two; the girl talks to him. "Omg, I wonder if she likes me?"
SAME THINGS; different point of view. But both thoughts are revealed. Keep in mind there is no more sudden climax. Everything is being laid out because you express both main characters thoughts.
-->WRITERS BLOCK!
Always te your readers in a journal entry or an authors note that you have hit rock bottom. Ask your readers what they want to read. After all, readers should be your main inspiration, or at least part of it! If necessary, go back to the story and make changes to open to new events which subsides the writers block!
-->NEVER LEAVE YOUR STORY!
Never just post constantly and then just leave unexpectedly! It's stupid, and you will readers interests.
-->NO COMMENT?
Never threaten your readers with, "no comment, no story" It's stupid and pointless.
-->BE PREPARED!
Before writing a story make sure you have a plan or events mapped out in your head or a piece of paper. Never post a story without writing a couple of chapters. That way in future, your readers will never get bored. If a reader finds your story well done, they will look out for more of your work.
-->NEVER STRETCH YOUR STORY!
Once you have a huge problem that may be solved....do not create or write more problems that need to achieved. That calls for a sequel! Never drag it out!
-->SCHEDULE!
If possible, make a schedule of when you can post and/type! Maybe write every other day and possibly post up the end of the week. If you post whenever, readers will get lazy looking if you gave a hectic/crazy posts.
-->DON'T BE AFRAID OF FILLERS!
If you're writing a scene that a guy asks a girl out for Friday evening on Monday; don't make the next chapter the date. Do not skip day's! Make sure you include fillers in between once in a while. Describe their feeling during their time. Or make their day uneventful! It helps a hell of a lot.
-->CREATIVENESS
Do not hold back! Write whatever you want and be as creative as you can be.

I forgot to add more posts cause of my b*tch of a sister. If you want me to add anything I will edit or re-write the journal entry for others to see!
If you have your own tips I will copy it; post it here too and add your name! :)

THANK YOU & ENJOY! <3
