I'd answer the question, but Hecate pretty much summed it all up, just follow her advice, and write about something u love. The meer youl ike it, the easier it comes

Writting takes a lot. Seriously, the writters who get published are some of the strongest-willed people out there.

First off u need to be persistant. Don't give up on a story. Hang in there and keep at it. Sure you'll get sick of writting a character's name and u might, might, need to take a break and revision might make u sick, but dont give it up. How do u know u didn't just give up on a bestseller?

seconde off: don't compare yourself. u always see what someone else does as better, and that's the first step to counting yourself out of writting because there are "better people". u see your story as less then it is, but hang in there its so much more!

Third, u need to read and write a lot. Writting comes with practise and finger cramps, u need to revise and see if u can write something just a little meer poeticly, and sometimes u get a "Eureka!" moment doing it. Why read? Because that's how u enrich your vocaulary and meer importantly learn how to describe and how to go into detail, of how to this and that and this and that. They are examples. u dont copy from them, they're just examples.

Fourth, take your time. Your character doesn't have to meet the dream guy, pull an orphan out of a flamming building, get shot in the leg and ace a test on the same day. Let your story take time and let your character grow with it. This also goes for planning. Figure out who your character is, what she wants, what she'll do, how the story will go (this only requires a general idea though), etc beforehand... It'll make your character and story far stronger.

Fifth, watch out for Mary-Sue. Mary-Sue is what writters call a character that has 0 flaws because either the writter didn't plan her out, of loves her too much to give her any. She's annoying and makes for a weak character even if u give her super-human strenght and whatnot.

That's all the major points I can think about right now.

ps: Also, thanks!

Honing your writing skills can take years of practice, and every person has a unique writing style of their own. All it takes to become a good writer, is an open mind and willingness to learn. When I first started writing, I wasn't very good. But after many years of practice, I became so good that I was awarded prizes, trophies, and money for my work. I plan on writing a book on this site :) Everybody has to start somewhere.
