Writing Rule Number Four

Be creative, no matter what your writing. Make it seem interesting to readers. even if it's a geometry book,
make something interesting for the readers. like maybe if it's a geometry book you could put the area of the average board of a skateboard, or in a science book put "the average tv uses a total of so-and-so watts every minute". I don't know, your the writer. write it!

As you may have noticed, I just talked about making math sound interesting. why? because it needs to be done. To some people math may be interesting but it needs to sound interesting too. If I have to hear another classmate (or myself) complain about a boring assignment from the book my head will explode! so please try, just try, to make them interesting!

Writing Rule Number 3

To be a good writer, you need to know specific details to what your writing about, like if your writing a book about a samurai warrior who saves the world, you should do research on samurai. The research should be focused on whats going to be put in the book. What i mean by this is that you shouldn't research everything about the samurai in your book, just what the important facts are. so if your writing a book about a samurai who's sent from the past into the future, don't research every single thing about samurai, just important things about them, like what they wear and how they fight.

Also, while I'm on the subject, please read my book: My samurai training
it's not finished yet, but I want to know what people think about it so far.

Writing Rule Number 2

Do not follow blindly what a writer with more success or more money made did, or still does to compose book or series, different people have different styles, and each person must perfect there own. that's not to say you should not listen to a writer with more success, you should still listen. 

Take the methods of the writers before you and transform them to what suits you best.

The First Rule to Writing

To be a good writer, you need to know your audience. 
For example, if your writing a fictional book about an ugly duckling, most likely your audience will be children, so instead of using long, complicated sentences with hard to understand words, you use short phrases that you could imagine a child in middle or elementary school saying.
