Anyone wanna share writing tips?

I let it brainstorm for a few days and then write.
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time… It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.

I don't think I have any writing tips except one: Pay attention to your grammar!

Cos myself, I just sit down and start typing after thinking about it for maybe a few hours. I don't think that'll help any. I'm sure everyone else will have stories that are much better thought out and more well-written than mine on their own. That last contest was fierce!

To add to that: Also pay attention to your formatting. A well formatted story can look really bad if there are formatting problems in it.

This is why I strongly encourage you guys to read over your own stories even after I start the voting, so that if there are formatting errors, which can be easily made during conversion to the post, I will be able to change them.

I won't change grammar and spelling errors, though. That's your job to fix those before you submit the stories to me. :P

[quote="YFWE"]What if there are 40 entries? How about 50? 60?[/quote]

What if someone lies and there is 39 entires instead of 40? That's what I want to know.

@writting tips, I don't know, I just put music on and wing it as I go along. Not like it's hugely important like a personal paperback, it's just a contest for fun n' stuff
On that note, i'm going to try and write an entry later :3

So where it says the contest ends June 10th, I'm assuming you mean that it's the deadline for submitting on right?

Yes, it's the deadline for submitting the stories. That leaves just over a week left!

Man, for me it like enough days for ten contests have gone by since I created this topic. So long ago... I swore several times that it was already over, but no, not yet. Eight more days!
