Manic's Writing Guide Pt. 2I have to say, out of all the work I do to bring you good stories, this particular part has to be my favorite ;D

No story would be any good without great description, and describing things can set the tone and mood of a story. Some styles of writing have little or no description, just for effect. I find that the best stories don't have an immense amount of description, but they don't have bar-none either.

So, if you want to spice up your stories with great detail, I'm here to help.

This might sound kind of dorky, but if you're writing a scene, it helps if you use the weather to your advantage.

Well, it's going to take more than the dream; you're going to have to work hard, put in long hours, and be willing to do whatever it takes.

I've been writing for almost three years now, and with over 200 stories penned, I think it's safe to say that I know what I'm doing (depends on how you want to look at it xD).

How To Write A StoryWriting a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him to the public.
-Sir Winston Churchill

Well, I wanted to waste some brain cells today, and I sure did. Putting together this tut was a bit harder than i thought, but i do think the outcome speaks for itself IMO...
So, I hope you all enjoy, c&C welcomed & most appreciated. Let me know if this works for you, and what not...

I spent several hrs on this, although it may come even easier to others, it was a task for me, It'll come easier once I do more. Again, if anyone wants a tutorial on something specific, let me know, and i'll see if it is capable... pz, ENJOY off to get WASTED!!!!

P.s., I will not lie, I did get tired towards the end & I probably 'could have' added more, but, I'll make that up next time...

O. P.S.S.

This tutorial was inspired by 'Writing-Styles' a recent dev. But so its not confused, the style written in 'Writing-Styles', is my own freehand, and not altered as the 'SICK' tag in the tutorial. My tips and tuts/ are exactly what they say & are, tips & quickies, I have spent 100's of hours perfecting what I do, & yet, Its still not perfected. So don't get mad at me if anything doesn't work for you. PRACTICE!!!!!!!
