First step:
1. Join the Grammar Nazis.
2. Live life and learn experiences to use to write.
3. Practice your imprompt to help stretch your imagination skills.
4. Learn how to write things in a interesting way by detailing smell, taste, sound, sighting, and so on. (Instead of saying "It reeks like garbage." Say: "The smell reeked of the love child of a rotten egg and a diaper, that said child has been spoiled by his loving parents and produces an odor so foul that it's stench makes the world itself cry.")
5. Caffeine and sugar is your best friend.
6. The after effects of caffeine and sugar is your worst enemy.
7. Never self insert. Ever. You can take pieces of yourself, but never self insert.
8. Never make a "perfect" character, it's uninteresting and no character is perfect. A good character is one with faults and struggles which makes for a good story.
9. Always enjoy yourself. Any force writing is never good, if your at a writers block just write one page a day and never look back.
