Dear Future Emma,
Happy Birthday!
Firstly, OH MA GURD IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY! Secondly, OH MA GURD, I'M WRIITNG TO FUTURE YOU! Although by the time you read this, future you will be present you... I will admit, this is not the first draft of this letter since my laptop seems to think it's a temperamental teenager and has taken a liking to crashing. So, here we are, on the fourth draft(ish) of this letter.
Although I’ll probably never actually give you this, I still want to write it. Because as doubt dwells inside of my heart, tears will probably stream out of my eyes. Sounds like some kind of awesome robot. In reality, it’s just me sobbing as I write some words that will never be read. Which may be a shame, but still…
I’d like to thank you. Today, in our society we’re taught that manners ‘cost nothing’ so we should always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. You can only say a word a certain amount of times before the meaning is stripped away.
However, I am grateful. Truly grateful. For every inside joke, sarcastic comment and nerdy
reference. Thank you for the memories we’ve had so far and for the future ones we will create.
Words, I think, are the most powerful weapon. People can say that ‘actions speak louder than words’ but as an aspiring author, I think I win. Since I write about those actions that speak louder than words. With a turn of a phrase, people can cry, laugh, cringe and/or fling their arms around as though they’re having some form of seizure. Yet, considering my future dream job, I’m rather shit at expressing myself in any other way than the written word. So then, I’d like to get to the point of this rather mushy letter.
I am a rather shit friend.
Social situations make me uncomfortable. Enough so that what someone says half an hour prior can stick in my head for the rest of the day. ‘Why did they say that?’ or ‘What did they mean?’ I find myself asking questions. So thank you for putting up with this rather shit friend.
Honestly, there are times when I doubt the reasons I write. Is it really ‘worth it’? I don’t know. I really don’t know at times, and it’s painful. Writing can be painful. Because when I write, I know that the words I type have an impact on more people than just myself.
It’s painful, but there’s a sense of fulfilment. As though I’ve done something so amazing.
Sorry, I’ve started to get carried away.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Happy birthday.
Happy Birthday!

Pre-Writing and Brainstorming.
Writing is a multi-step process. If Shakespeare were to just write whatever he wanted to with no prior planning, well…we probably wouldn't know who Shakespeare is today. Writing takes time, thought and a lot of organization in order for it to come out as one, cohesive work. In the midst of your random scribbling, many of your ideas may seem to be jumbled and in-cohesive. This makes it hard for you to really get your ideas in motion. How do you fix that? Well, the ultimate way to ensure flow with writing is to undergo Pre-Writing and a little organized Brainstorming.

How to Improve Your Writing Style
While I’ve written articles about writing style in the past, they were designed mostly to define what style is and didn’t provide much help for improvement. This article contains some practical tips I’ve discovered that will actually help you improve your style and hopefully provide a foundation for why good style matters. I believe good style is important for many reasons, but mostly because I want my readers to feel like the time they spent with my story was worthwhile, pleasant, and maybe even a little enlightening.
“All readers come to fiction as willing accomplices to your lies. Such is the basic goodwill contrac
