tips for writing

[zullumaster]

Hey I've got a number of ideas in my head that I may or may not get to writing down. But is there a good way of doing anything? should I write up an outline or something?

I usually keep a notepad file with a short one-paragraph summary of the story idea so I don't lose it.

Outlines can be good too.

Every writer is different. I try and keep all my ideas synced via notepad like aplications so that I can write an idea anywhere at any time be it phone, pc or tablet.

The best tip you can have for writing. Write every day. Even if its only 1,000 words. The simple act of writing something a bit a day will make you more likely to write longer and easier.

Don't worry about inspiration or trying to make sense at first. Just hit the target.

Also, a tip I do. write first, edit later. I write something for awhile then set it aside for a couple of weeks and then go back and reread it. If something stands out fix it. Then go back to writing more. It's probably not the best but it works for me and that's ultimately what writing is. What works for you.
