Nobody likes a boring read, and even if people read boring stuff, there’s always a fat chance that they expect a smashing end. I liked Hari Puttar but in the end, everything got too complicated and magical. It was almost as if the author was just writing for the sake of the money and didn’t care about the characters as much. Thus, I’d like to make it understood that its not too hard to pull the reader into a text, the tough part is to keep him there!

Re-check-

If you can’t stand you’re own reading, chances are that others won’t either. Unless you are a self hating genius which is highly unlikely improbable. Re-check your work, nobody likes to point out mistakes in final drafts, nor does anyone like accepting them. So take you’re ego out and shoot it with that ego eliminating gun you bought, and re-check you’re work!

Get an editor!-

Professional editors don’t necessarily have to be paid! You can easily find a really good editor in you’re own backyard! Look out for family member’s who are exceptional at English and read a lot (Family will usually work for free) and if you don’t have any talented family members, I suggest you make sure that you weren’t switched at the Maternity ward.

If you do adhere to the previous criteria, ask a few friends. At most you’ll have to buy them a few beers or go shoe shopping with them as repayment, but if you’re into doing these things already I’m sure it won’t hurt.

Caution: Before you get somebody close to be you’re editor, no matter how big or small you’re articles/books/poems/prose/maniacal weather reports, you could seriously alter you’re relationship and the respect you’re editor has for you. So proceed with great care and build up trust before thrusting you’re tyrannical editing demands upon others.

Happy Writing!

On my old blog, which I gave up on like an errant child, I had made a decision to put up tips on how to bring out the best in your writing. I may not be too good (coz I’m actually the best) you might get a little or a lot of inspiration from my tips, either way even if it doesn’t, it will help in wasting your time, which I know is the prime reason behind you visiting my site!

Tip1: Give exams. No one likes exams, hell no normal person even likes education! but if you have a rich relative who’s ready to sponsor your exam chasing disinterests (regardless of whether you care about educating yourself or not)an exam is the perfect environment to practice my worldfamous in Melbourne PIPID™ theory.

An exam environment provides the perfect energies and mood to piss you off enough with life and studies to write with reckless abandon and throw your imagination at every wall, window, book, and person that you see. If you cannot aim your super writing powers at your blog or MS Word, you might be inclined to verbally flog those around you. Before you unleash your imaginative powers against your family, friends or fire eating pet Koala, remember to try and not  rip them to shreds with that silver tongue.

Tip #2- Inspiration.

I guarantee that there’s atleast one person whom you love and admire for their achievements. That person is usually called your role model but if you are a girl or a queer guy it could be a ramp model. Either way, there has to be someone who inspires you. If there isn’t one who inspires you, choose someone who you loathe for their high achievements (Respectable or not), and instead of matching up to their shoulders, try to undermine them with your plans for world domination. Most people would choose their boss for the second category, but you can add your dog or even Gabbar Singh on that list.

My inspiration and life’s role model is my Dad, yes I know I am putting my family in danger from the evil forces of the planet Kralgon by saying this, but it was due be posted on here someday. If you think this fact is cliched, try beating my Dad in any field(of your choice). My Dad has more hobbies and expertise than you have cells in your body. He can hear the engine of a car and tell whats wrong with it, that would even put Superman to shame! With a Dad like that, I don’t need inspiration. It just falls into my brain. Now that you know what to look for in a role model, get out, get online, get going and start finding someone who you respect and/or hate enough and start building up your best or worst (if you may) in writing.

As a favour to the universe, I will put up tips on writing atleast once a week. You can thank me later.

ps. My Daddy strongest!
