For me, the best was to write in the mornings (the moment I get up, actually). No pee, no bake a cake, no wash your face, no nothing. Simply get up, sit on the computer, turn it on (if you can leave it on rest mode, then the better) and start typing whatever comes to your mind. It might be a dream, it might be a thought, a memory, whatever.

What are your writing tips?

I often read interesting articles and do some research to get some inspiration before writing. But I'm not so good in writing. When I need some writing or editing help I prefer to use some help of BuyEssay writining service. Last year with its help I wrote my dissertation in the short period of time. And I still use this service each time I need essay samples or grammar-check.

I will say that I'm writing a light novel since 2016 and never stopped. I've been writing since high school because I always have an imagination. I don't know how to get it published though. I really want to~! Very Happy

My light novel is called COSMIC CONVERGENCE

Having noticed something entertaining, do not rely only on a good memory.

1. Have a comment. This makes composing simpler and quicker.

2. Be explicit. Think about two sentences:

3. Pick straightforward words.

4. Compose short sentences.

5. Utilize the dynamic voice.

6. Keep sections short.

7. Wipeout cushion words.

8. Try not to drift.

Don't fall prey to an imaginary deadline. Write for yourself, diligently and consistently first. Even if you want to get published, and as a first time writer, having X completely finished by Y can create a lot of stress. Meet your own, realistic goals on a day to day basis, and worry about the endgame after.

Practice, practice and more practice. That all you need. Try yourself in different writing works.

I think in this matter you can heed the advice of good old Stephen King - set yourself a number of words for the day that you MUST write. I think it works great, judging by how many books he's already written:)
