I have the same question as thatsnotawkward! And how do you keep even everyday events that are occurring in the story from getting boring? How do you know how fast to pace the relationship, to make sure it's not moving too fast where its not realistic, or too slow so that it's boring your readers?

 

Hey rebecca18, practice makes perfect. Write down what you think sounds good and makes sense. Have a teacher proofread it and give you pointers. Lend it to your friends and get their advice too. Take notes from writing done by others that you like. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

When writing a book how do I keep a solid and whole plot, setting, theme,etc.
Also is there any writers jargon that all soon-to-be writers should know.

 

Hey onyinyechi566, write down your topic and number all the points you want to cover. That way you'll know exactly what to talk about and when. Avoid talking in everyday language, be a little formal. When using words like "don't" and "can't", spell them out and write do not and can not/cannot instead. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

My question: I am a reporter for a local newspaper. I was wondering how can you get inspiration? My editor is always wanting us to get more stories but how can I be inspired?

 

Hey linkin, think about topics you enjoy. Are you into nature, sports or news? After you discover what you like, start jotting things down. I'm sure you'll find some inspiration. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I have a question that I'd like to ask!!

When you're writing, how do you make sure your plot is exciting and never gets really boring? And how do you make romances so they aren't so predictable and cliche?
