1) Use something with a spell check
2) If you don't have a spell checking system, use a dictionary, especially if you aren't sure of how to spell the word, if ant in the dictionary, use a Thesoraus.
3) If typing your story, say what your typing so you make less grammar and spelling mistakes.
4) Before actually writing your story, on a seperate sheet of paper, write out what you want to happen in each chapter, then take what you have written and turn it into a story.
5) Create an outline of how your story will be organized, summarize each chapter.
6) If your story includes words that don't exist in todays English language, define the word either in the story, or create a glossary.
7) When finished with your work, ask one of your friends to edit it for you...better yet, go to a school and have an English teacher check it for you.
8 ) Be sure to always write a summary for your story.
9) When creating characters, it is best to write a biography on the character either on a seperate piece of paper, or save it somewhere on your computer.
10) Let your imagination flow. When designing new objects for your story, be sure you like it, and that others will also like it.
11) Write footnotes. Footnotes describes in full detail what is going on in the story, EVERYTHING about the characters, what something does in the story, etc. When you write stories...especially trilogies, you have to know how things work in it. Example, you are writing a new science fiction with new technology we have never seen before. You need to know how the technology works. Knowing how they work makes it easier for when you need to refer to it in later books and also helps the readers understand how they work if at all they want to use it for their own writings they may be basing off of yours.
12) Read your story to yourself to see how it sounds and get a visualization of your story. If you can't visuallize it, you didn't add enough creativity. Remember to always add as much creativity to your writing the best you can. Reading it over also helps you catch mistakes you didn't catch while writing.
