And don't be scared to upload anything you've worked on, I was when I first started writing fics, and im still pretty scared when I share a new idea (which I tend to get a lot -.-) I promise you at least 1 person will read it *points to self* so go for it. You'll never know if its good or not unless you upload.

I'd actually rather finish something completely before I put it up. I've been let down by people who got bored of their fanfics and I wouldn't want to do that to anyone. There's one I want to do really bad but I'm waiting until my writing skills are better. And I'm glad at least you would read it. The one I wanna do would be really long and in my mind actually has a hidden message through it. I found the more that I re read my stories the stupider I think they are. I've only been rereading to edit. I've also found that having index cards with summarized chapters helps a lot. And I'm glad you said I should write. I did a 'what should your job be' test on fb and it actually said writer. -taybugb

I understand perfectly, I'm one of those people who put off finishing off fics, not because I get bored of them or anything like that, but because I feel like the ending won't live up to what I've been leading up to.
And trust me, the whole 'stupider the more you read it' thing is sorta the job of being a writer, every writer has to reread let's say a book they want to publish at least 300 times, can you imagine how much that must make them hate their work? But they publish anyway because then they can say that they've written something people enjoy. And the same goes for you friend, if you want to be a writer then you can be a writer. And not just because some test -I have a slight thing against tests- tells you to, but because its something you enjoy and you feel passionate about. That's why I write and its helped me make a lot of friends on here and its got my confidence up a little bit, which I thought was impossible. I know what its like to feel like that about your work, but odds are if you upload a piece half the people who read it are gonna enjoy it, some things aren't for everyone, but they are for the majority and that's what counts.
And now I'm just rambling so... Yeah.
Hope I was a good sempi

I don't usually believe in tests either, this one just told me what I sorta already knew and my mom kept telling me. I've been using an app called wunderlist to plan out chapters. Writing a story is about creating a problem and fixing it over the course of 1 to however many chapters you write. I like your ramblings and any tips you have for me. I have a favor to ask though, if I wrote something and posted it, would you post a little thing with a link or something? I've found chapters of things from writers nobody noticed before and they stopped writing. That, and I'm terrible at thinking of story names. Also I'm gonna unwatch you for just a second so I can rewatch you and add you as a friend.

Alroghty friend, and of course I'll link people to your work, it would be my honor :')
And are you sure you want tips from me? I'm not the most accomplished person on here, I mean... The opposite actually, I'm happy to give any advice you wanna hear but, I'm not saying that just because its helped me it'll help with your work. Everyone has their own style and to not express that by sticign behind someone else's tips and techniques doesn't show off what a good writer you can be. And if you ever need a story name or idea or push in the right direction just act. And I'll be happy to do a collab once you've gotten into the swing of deviantART and postingyl your work

Just cuz you give me tips doesn't mean I'll use them. I wouldn't do anything I didn't feel was really right. But a tip from you or anyone could help me think of something in a way I didn't before. And I would love to do a collab someday. I do wanna let you know that all the things I've written so far have been in notes on my iPad. :/ I have a computer and I'm tech support for most of my friends and my grandma but I don't go on much and i don't wanna tip my mom off that I'm writing. She'll wanna read it and I'm not ready for that. I have no idea what's involed with a collab and if my writing on an iPad would or wouldn't work for it. Is there a private message on this site? I hate to fill up the comments with my not leaving you alone. Also, I don't swear... At all... So I dont know how that would work with a Yogscast fanfic collab, so far I've been writing 'he swore' or something like that.

With the swearing thing its best just to either blank out the words, like f*** or just say, 'he could hear him curse' or something like that. I'm not too sure about that though because Im one of these people who has no problem whatsoever swearing my ass off.
As far as the notes on the iPad gp, if it helps I actually upload a lot of my content from my phone, I write it in an app I downloaded and then I copy and paste it into a stash document and upload after I've quickly proof read it. You don't have to do it through computer.
And private messaging can be done through notes. And don't worry, I don't care about the comments filling up, I'm happy to help anyone who needs it.

I wouldn't mind if you swore if we ever did a collab, I've been using 'he swore' or stuff like that and implying which word it is sometimes. Thank you for talking to me and inspiring me to write, and if I ever wanna talk to you I'll do it through notes, I found it. -taybugb
