Writing Tips(I don't draw much, so there)

• Story and Characters are best come up with together. If either one stands up on its own, then they don't work. Stories where the Characters are devised before the Plot tend to have quite inconsequential Plots, and Vice Versa.
• The Opening to a story is important. It has to grip the reader without seeming like it's trying too hard.
• Never be afraid to be explicit, but don't pepper your writings with Sex and Violence just to try and gain readers. Use it only if it comes up naturally in the course of writing.
• At all costs, DO NOT BE REPETITIVE, unless that is the effect you intend to give, in which case proceed with caution...
• Gimmicks don't work.
• Quality over Quantity. Always. Nonetheless, don't cut stories short if they want to go on longer...
• If you can remove a minor plotline without having to alter the main plotline, then it shouldn't have been there in the first place.
