Advice From Stephen Kings Book:

The first time you write a story it is for you to tell yourself. The second time you write it, it’s for
you to show the world.
When writing, it is literally telepathy, therefore one should not bore with details if unnecessary,
eg, listing the specific dimensions of a cage containing a bunny. Show not tell.
When it comes to choosing words to use, often the first word you use is the best, rather than
the cousin word of the one you intended to use in your pseudo-telepathy. Yes, be creative, but
have the audience in mind and don’t complicate it too much.
There are active and passive verbs, avoid the passive. Active has the subject of the sentence
doing something, the passive has something done to the subject.
Avoid using adverbs, they imply a passive voice and take away from the moment as gibberish
used only to flourish the sentence.
Remember if you’re writing fiction the paragraph style should be less structured – rather it
should be naturally flowing. Revise if necessary later.
Sometimes grammar is broken to maintain the pace of a conversation when attempting to
provide detail to the reader.
A writer is also a reader
Have a space for reading. It doesn’t have to be extremely fancy.
This is a test of my skills while having longer nails. Wouf my nails affect my typing skills? I am not entirely
sure tbh.
Maybe?
