Recently, I have participated in EnderCat5's writing contest. This has inspired me to write a tutorial on this. This is my first blog!!! Please subscribe, favorite, and diamond, if you liked this and want to see more.




Step 1:
Most pieces of writing need dialogue. A common mistake is showing how people talk wrong, and I will show you how to fix that.

Wrong:

Sophie (Bob's Grandma): Hello dear, you look lovely.
Bob: Thank you, grandma.


Right:
"Hello dear, you look lovely," Sophie admired.
"Thank you, grandma," Bob replied.




Step 2:
You always want to use good grammar and spelling. Example:

Wrong:
Eric: Haha ur grammer is horible isn't it.
Alex
: no u have bad gremmar
Right:

"Haha, your grammar is horrible, isn't it?" Eric smirked.
"No
, you have bad grammar," Alex argued.

Step 3: Every writer needs to have a variety of words while writing. They need words to replace the common word, 'said'. Example:

Wrong:
"What did I ever do to you?" Sally said.
"Everything," Joey said.


Right:
"What did I ever do to you?" Sally cried.
"Everything," Joey smirked.

An easy way to find some words to replace said, are to go here.


THIS BLOG IS NOT NEARLY COMPLETE!! TELL ME IN THE COMMENTS IF I SHOULD CONTINUE IT! Also tell me if I should become a blogger!

It`s pretty good, but maybe have a paragraph after each example explaining why it's wrong.

It's because, have you seen some people's writing? I took a look at entries for several writing contests for making this. It's to help those people who forgot what they learned years ago. They'll need it in life.

I think it was a blog of Chellizard's I read not so long ago, discussing how no one is ever going to have perfect grammar, because the English language is so complex. And if I am being really picky, I get really annoyed by dialougue in which the author tries to convey their extreme vocabulary. Some people go really over the top with replacing the word said - if you read any classic literature, the word "said" will be used the majority of the time, or nothing at all: just a fluid piece of dialogue. I just don't like it when people change every 'said' to "exasperated", "exclaimed", "rejuvenated" and the like.

All in all, well written blog - the blogging topic is kind of overdone, and pointless, but it has been presented well.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to change it up a bit and choose better topics next time. Mostly, minecraft related.
