Tip #11: Research your topics-you don't want to sound really stupid. For example, if you were talking about basketball and you said, "I kicked the ball into the goal," readers would be wondering what you were talking about.
Tip #12: Take your time. No one likes to read-or write-a rushed ending. It doesn't matter if you have a deadline or not (well, actually it does, but for the sake of this tip, it doesn't)-take your time and do your best! You'll thank yourself for it later.
Tip #13: Write as yourself. If in real life you're serious, write seriously. If in real life you're snarky, be snarky. Don't try to adopt a personality that's not your own, unless you're writing in first person, it'll seem forced.
Tip #14: Let your story decide what happens next. If your story seems to be progressing to an ending that isn't the one in your plot outline, don't try to fight it. Instead, just go with the flow. If you try to "fix" the ending, it'll seem forced.
Tip #15: Whenever possible, try to live your subject. For example, if your book details an escaped convict living in the wild (kudos to anyone who knows which book I'm talking about!), spend one night living in the wild and see how you feel.
