What you can hope to achieve

I think we have gotten to a good place to show you jut what you can acomplish. After a lot of time and effort you put forth into your work, you can achieve so many great things. By putting all of these ideas together into a whole and working together with your editors you can become something better. Now, you won't become extremely popular, but you can still be a great writer. With that, I'll leave you with an example of what you can be with all of the time and effort you put into your work.

SAVE SAVE SAVE!!

Ok, now this is a fact that you should've followed since you were given a computer at a young age-SAVE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. This is especially true if you are a writer, after all no one wants to spend 2 hours writing a really nice review and critique of their favorite reviewer's newest review only to see it gone in a flash because you didn't save the information at a critical point.

This is why I prefer to use Google docs so often. It automatically saves all of my data so I don't have to worry about hitting that save button again and again to make sure I am safe. That, and that allows me to come back to the work from anywhere else and continue.

But, I know that sometimes, your computer does bad things: Virus, malware, trojans, hard drive crashes, overheating, and so much more. And then you have to reset the computer and get it back into operation but you lose the data in the process. What to do?

The easy answer would be to get a flash drive, but sometimes those are expensive.

Another thing you can do is use things like

File sharing sites


Where you can use a password and login creditentals to keep your info safe and access it from anywhere else you might need in order to fix your work

Has a few ideas. Jut remember, keeping your info is very important for your continued work as a writer

Reviews-how to get and how to deal

See this? This is a group that I frequent that reviews work on a certain site. This group is dedicated to reviewing your work in a fair and nonbaised manner and that is what I want to write about. Reviews.

Look, just admit to yourself at the outset, your first work will never be truly fantastic or even good. Heck, it might even be horrible, but do not dispair. The internet is there to help you, really, it is. No, wait, come back and I'll tell you why.

See you will always get two type of readers to your story: A) a troll who will just rip your story/article/essay/ a new one just to get a rise out of ya or B) actual people who are nice enough to say "I don't like it because of-reasons". Reviewers of B are the ones you want, because they will usually leave helpful critism and small advice to help build you up from being medocre. Now, how to get those reviews on the net and not trolls.

FIRST! Go online to vairious forums and sites and ask around. You should be able to get a few here and there.

Second! ask someone who is not your family (no, seriously, no family. They are the worst type of reviewer because they will be biased. The closer you are, the more bias they have and will usually go into "ITs great!" Without telling you why) and have them review.

Then, after that, what should you do when they destroy it? Relax, go over what they don't like and fix it. Remember, you are in charge, so don't quit!

the three mechanics of writing.

I thought I would do something nice for you to help set up you writing style. We have already gone over how to write, where to, and the mechanics, but now we need to look at how technology can help you write the story itself. I have decided to higlight three vids that will help you out greatly




In this vid, we look at how to form an idea, to create one and allow it to grow (see where to gain inspiration



 This vid introduces you on the proper excution of the story


 Lastly, this vid looks into the mechancis and inner workings of the story. While you looked at the videos, I hoped you took the time to look at the suggestions, because there was the meat of the article. That there are several videos, pages, and more on writing tips and observations on writing that can help you find perfect your style of writing. It can also help you to explore your capabilities as a writer as you compare yourself to others.

Another site you can visit to test your merits as a writer and see what you write like is in this site here

Can using IT help with writer's block?

      The above is a full on representation of how some people suffer from the most common threat to every writer, one that looms in the shadows to attack all fans of good writing, and one that had brought many a great man to his knees-Writer's Block.

      Yes, that horrible disease that causes one to sleep when he is supposed to be writing that epic or journal entry for his freelance job. That horrible menance that prevents the latest chapter of your favorite story from coming out and making you read some low rate story instead.

     One that... has really only affected me ONCE in my entire life (due to the fact that I hate Haikus and writing 40 poems in 2 weeks is a monster of a task for even a smart 13 year old student). Yes, I am lucky to have ideas flowing into my head at a rate of one per hour. I am also a very creative person and have a fortunate fun life. However, this does not mean I do not understand where you as a writer have problems when that threat comes to your head.

So, can IT fix that? Yes it can, believe it or not.  You just need to combine your own sensbilities with the computer. For instance, you can go and find a few self hynosis videos. "But what if I can't be hypnotised?" The try to enjoy the soothing video and voice. Maybe find a bad movie on porpuse and talk out why it is bad and have a blast riffing it to shreds. OR you can find an old cartoon that you loved and want to see again. The internet is vast and you have plenty of time on your hands.

how to find the best place to get published

Ok, so you finished your story or work and now you just to need to find a good place to upload it. Well, never fear, the net is here for you-it is a great place to update and load up your stuff without worry about losing too much money.

First, you should determine what your stuff is-

Now if you are writing Fanfiction, like myself, you have plenty of choices ( fanfcition.net, fimfiction.net, and a few others) out there, you just need to know where to look.

But, what if you are not writing a fanfic, well then...you could always try a Tumblr, a blog (like this), or go to a freelance writer site. Just head to Google and put in a search for freelance jobs or even get your own site, as long as you make sure that you can find a good free one.

Another good tip is to present your stuff and of course promote! It's ok, it might seem a little selfish but sometimes a little can go a long way.

Speaking of wich, please check out my own material at http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Alchemystudent. I have plenty of stories here for the reading enthuasist.

Distractions!!

This is to point out a small problem when you are doing all of your writing online and with the web. You have a whole bunch of things that are great on the web: music, comics, web reviews, fanfics, stories, and web comics. Chances are, you are a fan of at least one of these things you are this close to clicking on another tab while you are reading this.

This is a problem and one I can symphatize with

This is a picutre of my window right now,

As you can see, I have a lot of tabs. This is mainly because as I write, I also like to read good fanfics, bad fanfics, listen to youtube reviews, and so much more. I can't help it, I like to check everything out and I am fascinated by a lot of objects. This does not need to happen to you, there are things you can do to fix this,

For one, you can always remind yourself just how often your favorite news sites updates, second is to close off all of your tabs except the one that has your project. Lastly, in the case of reading, take note of how fast you can read. If it takes you 15 minutes to read 5,000 words then you can actually finish it off before writing, but 30 mins and then I would advise write first, then read.
