AHA, or just telling them they suck at writing. That always crushes peoples dreams ;D
Well, you're talking to a retarded person like myself here. That knows the meaning to comptemplation and derogetory. xD
But like, when it comes to your writings, try using 'I am' and 'we are' less. Especially if its adult male fan fictions. You really think that Billie Joe and Mike would walk around saying out their words fully? ahah (x
Yeah, I'm helping you o.o Wow... I'm helping people... it feels... funny o.o
And the details could use some work, like your few word sentences. 'Billie Joe put his guitar on the stand.' is honestly a bit too bland, try putting like a few adjectives or something into it, that always interests readers and everything.
But as far as I'm concerned, this story looks pretty good so far. I'm not done with it yet, ahah (x
Ahah, don't read the dictionary (x That'll just force you into using words that you don't need to. It just makes the readers more confused and like you don't know the english language xD
Like, use synonyms for words too. I use dictionary.com alot if I can't think of anything, and that site has saved my writing more than just a few times.
Then theres just the actual quoting and stuff, rewording things, ect. ect. ect. Honestly, it takes a REALLY long time to learn alot of the stuff that its about to make your writing really great, but those are the basics that I know, hah :P
