Calix The Muse's Tip #8:

Try not to dive headfirst into a story. Sure, you may come up with four pages worth of ideas, but that doesn't mean you should just post (like on fanficiton.net) the first thing that comes to you. Try to refine the wild thought and make it smooth. Plan your novel, fanfiction, or whatever it is. Having a course of action makes for smoother sailing.

Calix The Muse's Tip #9:

Stuck? Or feeling that your prose is missing that certain pizzazz? Go read a good book. go watch some reality tv, no matter the horrors of faked life. Usually the developed characters will give you an idea of what you may be searching for in your own story, and jump start the next phase of writing.

My tip #1: It mostly get overlooked by many out there because of the fact that many say "I can't write" Or they are just stuck in a rut. Look outside your windows and just imagine what you could be doing, what life could be like in another person's house, then take out a sheet of paper and without thinking of those things and allowing subconsious thoughts to come to mind, JUST WRITE! Too many people these days neglect writing for the small notion that they forget the beginning stages of writing. You have to write in order to write. I've learned the best way to do so is to not think while writing. You tend to get some better ideas in my aspect.

Tip #2: Become every single one of your character when you write.
In te story that I'm writing now, I have multiple characters and each one with it's own individualities. This can be a real challange. So I've pushed myself to just take a backseat and allow my characters to be the drivers. when my female character is the one that's talking, she's the main driver and says what she needs and that goes for all my other characters. This has helped me to concieve better story lines that people like or may not like, but in the end helps make the story something great.

Murph tip 1: Always believe in yourself that you can write, and if you don't then just try to find a way to rezalve your problem then start writing again.

Murph tip 2: If you are doing a red robin don't try and make a total diffrence from what other people are doing. Say this was a serius story, don't go saying that his parents were killed by penguins.

Murph tip 3: Good readers, write better. Good writers, read more. I learned this in school. It is true for me but may not be for you, that is always ok.

Write any scene that comes to mind. It can help with the plot and everything. In my lastest story, I wrote the entire ending before the beginning. It helped me figure out what I wanted to do with the story before that.

Angel's tip 1:
Use spellcheck at the END of your writing for the day. That way, it is clean when you start the next day, and you can progress forward instead of reviewing.

Angel's tip 2:
Make sure that you know your character's names, use the same one and spell them the same all the way through.

Tip. #?

Before writing, always plan. I know this probably already has been put forth, but diagrams help. For eggsample, draw like a sorta tree diagram, with the central character then branching out with events, plot ideas, and relationships with other characters and things about the MC him/herself.

Planning out what your going to do is very important indeed. If you don't you may have the story wander into unknown plotlines and strange sub stories.
