  1. Here are some tips to help future authors, and authors that are struggling.

    1. Don't push feedback, it can get annoying.

    2. Some of your readers won't post on your feedback thread, so never think that u have no fans.

    3. So look for pity. People will read your story if u advertise it well, not because of pity.

    4.  get peoples attention  some good ways are:
    -use emoji's 
    -sign up threads, everyone loves to create characters.

    5. Join a writing company, they will help you edit, and will support you, plus it's a great place to advertise your story.

    6. Have fun writing! The more fun you have with it, the more readers you might entice into reading your story.

    7. Mention your story. When you mention your story, people may want to read it and mention it to someone else, then hey, free advertising!

    I hope you enjoyed reading this, and if I missed anything, feel free to tell me!
     
  2. Sorry about spelling errors, I was typing fast!
     
  3. Oh and Marian something I unfortunately found out by doing: always have a snack or eat dinner before you write because if you get up to eat you mat lose some good ideas ok I'm done
     
  4. That makes sense! I'm always typing up last minute ideas! It would suck to have to stop and eat!
     
  5. Nice job Maybe I'll write a story someday...
     
  6. You should! I would so totally read it!
     
  7. iWrite Co. Welcomes all New Writers!
     
  8. Make sure you have a feedback forum. Many people don't like having to scroll through 2 pages to get to the next chapter.
     
  9. Bump this is good for everyone :3
     
  10. If I make a story, Im not gonna have a feedback thread. It makes the story a bit inactive.
     
  11. Tips to OPs:

    - Spelling.
    - Grammar.
     
  12. A hint. Type like you're not an illiterate **** with no grammar school education.
     
  13. Wow, I feel dumb. This was gravedug. Don't bump threads from 2010.
