Tips and tricks for beginners

• Do some short exercises to stretch your writing muscles – if you’re short of ideas, read the Daily Writing Tips article on writing bursts. Many new creative writers find that doing the washing up or weeding the garden suddenly looks appealing, compared to the effort of sitting down and putting words onto the page. Force yourself to get through these early doubts, and it really will get easier. Try to get into the habit of writing every day, even if it’s just for ten minutes.
• If you’re stuck for ideas, carry a notebook everywhere and write down your observations. You’ll get some great lines of dialogue by keeping your ears open on the bus or in cafes, and an unusual phrase may be prompted by something you see or smell.
• Work out the time of day when you’re at your most creative. For many writers, this is first thing in the morning – before all the demands of the day jostle for attention. Others write well late at night, after the rest of the family have gone to bed. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
• Don’t agonize over getting it right. All writers have to revise and edit their work – it’s rare that a story, scene or even a sentence comes out perfectly the first time. Once you’ve completed the initial draft, leave the piece for a few days – then come back to it fresh, with a red pen in hand. If you know there are problems with your story but can’t pinpoint them, ask a fellow writer to read through it and give feedback.
• HAVE FUN! Sometimes, we writers can end up feeling that our writing is a chore, something that “must” be done, or something to procrastinate over for as long as possible. If your plot seems wildly far-fetched, your characters bore you to tears and you’re convinced that a five-year old with a crayon could write better prose … take a break. Start a completely new project, something which is purely for fun. Write a poem or a 60-word “mini saga”. Just completing a small finished piece can help if you’re bogged down in a longer story.

heto na naman tayo, nagkukwentuhan tungko lsa lagat ng bagay. inaantok ka na pero nagtityaga ka paring kausapin ako. hindi ko alam kung bakit laging sakto ang mga tawag mo. siguro, nasesense mong kailangan kita. lagi mo nalang akong napapatawa. ang bangag kasi nating mag-usap eh. parang tanga lang.

hayan ka na naman, nakikinig sa mga kwento kong paulit-ulit naman. alam kong nauumay ka na dahil puro lovelife ang kinukwento ko. palagi kasing iyon ang problema ko. pero di ka parin nagsasawang makinig sa mga himutok ng puso ko.

pag kasama kita, parang ang dali lang ng buhay. beer at kwentuhan lang ang katapat ng lahat ng problema. kung ikaw sana ang minahal ko, edi solve na ang lovelife ko. hindi ko na sana iniiyakan ngayon ang mabisyo kong boyfriend. ay teka, mabisyo ka nga din pala! haha!

anyway, kahit mabisyo ka, mas naiintindihan mo naman ako. lagi mong tinatanong kung okaii lang ako kasi alam mong hindi. tapos, lagi ka lang to the rescue sa emotera mong friend - ako syempre. hindi ko nga alam kung nahihirapan ka na sakin eh. ako na hindi na nawalan ng problema. ako na reklamador. ako na iyakin.

salamat kasi hanggang ngayon, nandyan ka parin. sana lang wag kang magsawang patawanin ako. sa panahong ito, ikaw ang closest friend ko. pag nawala ka pa, aba, mawawala ang kabangagan ko. haha!

tulad kanina, napahalkhak na naman ako dahil sa yo. lol. masaya na ako kahit papano. kahit badtrip na naman ako dahil sa boyfriend kong mabisyo. hay! pasensya ka na, bangag na naman ako.
