I'm dying. & it's not scaring me.
She wouldn't have an answer if you asked her. It's not that she didn't laugh anymore, or that she hated everything; rather, she felt that if she didn't laugh and she did hate everything, it wouldn't matter. She wasn't the girl who could look outside her window and smile at the colours anymore. She had changed, & it killed her.

Advice for witty authors. Okay, personally, I'm not a fan of the stories on witty. Just not really my taste. However, I've noticed some common... trends, I guess, amongst the stories and the structure, grammar and layout of them. So, I decided to offer a few little tips on how to improve the quality of your stories and to make it easier for people to read them. 1) Don't have your story center aligned! It looks incredibly untidy to start with, and can make the reading of your work confusing for others. 2) Start a new line every time someone new speaks. This is a basic writing rule, and I'm kind of surprised that most peoples English teacher has not taught them this. 3) Use quotation marks to indicate speech. Again, basic writing rule. Italics do not indicate speech. Parenthesis - these: ( ) - do not indicate speech. These little guys do: " " 4) Place a comma (or exclaimation point/question mark) before the closing quotation mark. This again relates to speech and is another basic writing rule. "This is an example showing how that is done," she said. 5) Don't have run-on sentences. If a sentence can be broken up into smaller sentences, do it! It makes the story so much easier to read. 6) Paragraphs! Don't have the entire chapter of your story in one long block. Break it up into chunks of 5-6 lines. It makes the story easier to read and follow. The easiest point to do this may be at a scene change or after speech. 7) Use simple descriptions and leave room for the reader to imagine parts of the setting. You don't have to elaborately describe every single part of the room, or what the character is wearing! You don't have to state exactly what their wearing, or what their feeling. Use more subtle hints as to their state. My teacher often tells us to show the reader, without being explicit in our descriptions. You also don't need to lay out the steps for the character's actions - i.e., you don't need to run through how they get ready for school ('I got out of bed and get into the shower, shampoo and condition my long blonde hair, use my cleanser on my flawless skin and shave my long tanned legs. I then get out and towel off, walk back to my room and get dressed. I put on black Hollister skinny jeans, a pink crop-top from Abercombie and my Sperrys. Then I go back to the bathroom and dry my hair and put on foundation, mascara, eyeliner, lipgloss and eyeshadow.' etc, etc). It's monotonous and nobody really needs to know. 8) Proofread, for the love of God. So many times a good story has been absolutely ruined for me (not necessarily on here, usually on wattpad) because the author has made several silly spelling errors or has repeated information due to not proofreading their work. All it takes is a couple of minutes after you've finished writing to read it back to yourself. Many people also find it helpful to read it out loud to see if the sentences flow. 9) SENTENCES START WITH CAPITAL LETTERS AND END WITH FULL STOPS. I think this one is pretty self-explanatory. 10) Make your chapters more than a few lines long! That is not a chapter. That is a paragraph. Each chapter should have something happen in it - an event, whether big, small, good or bad. Just make the chapter interesting.
Writers don't just write; they create alternate realities, places of peace and joy, idealistic worlds, somewhere they can escape to when the real world lets them down.
If a writer falls in love WITH YOU, YOU CAN NEVER DIE.
