Read a lot of books and take notice of how stories are written. You can then choose to write in a similar structure or make up your own style. I found that grammar worked best for me when I actually took a grammar class and I did workbook exercises.

Before you write the story, build up your characters, settings, plot, etc. Ask yourself, "What's this story about?" and "Who are the characters, what are their purposes, what are they trying to attain, etc."

If you already have a lot of ideas, start with the ones you think are best. Don't hesitate to write a rough draft a couple of times just to play with ideas. Then have people read your stories to tell you what they think.

Don't think about publishing books right now, if that's what you're thinking. Just keep writing, regardless of whether or not they're good. Keep building your skills first.

Part of the reason why I don't consider publishing my stories is because they don't fit the conventional styles of a novella or novel. They're a combination of script-like dialogue with descriptive details and narrative of settings and what's occurring. They're meant to read like you're watching films and that's intentional.

Anyway, be creative and use your imagination. Don't be afraid to experiment too.

How ya doing, buddy?

Strangely enough, I do a lot of thinking while sleeping or whenever I'm doing other things when it comes to writing my stories. The ideas just come to me naturally and by the time I know it, I'm finished writing the story and it has the beginning, middle and end. The only planning I really do (where I sit down and write it out) is with the characters and which part of the story they are introduced in. Everything else just seems to connect.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
