I have written poems, blogs and also stories.

I am not sure if you mean professional or not, but I think you can take up some creative writing classes or something to get to learn it professionally.

As a hobby you can start posting your stories on your blog or website and get friends n family to comment on it, so that you know how you are doing.

Read good authors in order to understand their style of writing. You can definitely learn that way. For eg. if you want to describe how sexy a lady was or how tragic the incident was, you can see how others describe it and how you describe it and you would learn to write more effectively.

I admire you. Thanks for the information and tips. Happy mylotting.

Hello. Writing is my favorite hobby too, since my high school years. But, I don't write stories. I write articles, commentaries, reviews. I am writing these online once in a while when I have the time to do it. It is very good you are writing stories and poems.


myLot reputation of 79/100. rlaknar (511)   ranked 2,983 out of 6,429 in writing  5 months ago

It is a good news for me too that I wish to write stories. Nice to meet a writer. Happy mylotting.

One tip I read many years ago about writting stories was to make sure that you write something every single day, whether it's a line, a paragraph or a full chapter.
It's best to write everyday as then it keeps the story flowing and when read back actually makes sense and doest feel if the ending was just tagged on top take up space.


myLot reputation of 79/100. rlaknar (511)   ranked 2,983 out of 6,429 in writing  5 months ago

That is great. I follow you. I keep my schedule to write as much as I can. Thanks for the tip. Happy Writing and Happy Mylotting.


myLot reputation of 88/100. kelly10 (265)   ranked 3,383 out of 6,429 in writing  5 months ago

Thanks.
Another tip is to actually know what you are writing about. This does not just mean reading other books within the genre but know your characters.
Write down the idea for the story, write down the characters with a synopsis of them and their background and plan your story roughly so that it has a start, a middle and an end.
Another thing that lets stories down is details. For example your main character is a doctor. This means you have to read up on medical practitions otherwise when you talk of something to do with their worklife it will be very lacking in details and quite possibly wrong. So have characters doing jobs etc that you already know and have it set somewhere you know. Think of Stephen King, everything is set in and around Maine where he himself lives.


myLot reputation of 79/100. rlaknar (511)   ranked 2,983 out of 6,429 in writing  5 months ago

This is another valuable tip for me. From your previous tip I have started writing. This tip is something value added one. I think you are a good writer. Thank you a lot for your tips.


myLot reputation of 88/100. kelly10 (265)   ranked 3,383 out of 6,429 in writing  5 months ago

I wish I was a good writer. I've been writing a book myself for a while now but at time I loose all will to write or there are no ideas in my head. I think I do have writers block at time. But I always beleive that one day I will finish the book and I will see it in the shops. Belief is always a good thing to have.

if you want to write a story then you need to read a lot and get information from different source.

I have been writing some stories since I was a kid up to now. But I don't think I did it in a professional way, it's only my hobby. I joined odesk and I passed the test in creative writing fortunately. You can join odesk and take some tests to test your writing skills. Don't worry it's free. Odesk is a global service marketplace for small and medium sized business to hire, manage, and pay remote freelancers or teams.


myLot reputation of 93/100. levite (477)   ranked 5,751 out of 6,429 in writing  5 months ago

I have found out that whenever I read a book I am inspired to write as well but not all the time. Writing, I think, is a gift that needs to be developed through time, experience and reading a lot of good books around.


myLot reputation of 79/100. rlaknar (511)   ranked 2,983 out of 6,429 in writing  5 months ago

Absolutely!! Experience is a great source for writing. Me too a hobby write but not yet tried professionally. I have not yet started any story writing but consolidatng the points to write. Thanks for the valuable information you gave me and Thanks for the ideas and Odesk. Thanks for the participation. Happy Mylotting!

Hi rlaknar,

I'm not usually good at writing new stories. But i am really interesting to develop stories by modifying the existing stories in my own style. I love writing.

Cheers,

Happy lotting.
