Hollytuft's Guides: How to Write like Hollytuft/How to Write like Hollytuft

I try to include all the detail I can in my stories.

First you need descriptive words and a plot idea. I think of plot ideas while I walk around my house, or when I am in the car.

Make your idea intresting, and the title a must-click. But remember, your plot can't just be: "There was some cat who had to defeat everything and then die. The end." That would be the worst plot ever. If you want readers to continue reading, you have to be intresting or click bait.

I suggest cliff hangers, that will make the readers eager to find out what happens next, if you have kept the good plotline, then that should not be a problem.

But your cliff hanger can't just be like: "He was sure he was going to die."

That would not keep readers going. And if you leak to much of it, the readers will know most likely what will happen. Then they will not keep reading.

And if you want it to be really intresting, use description. Don't just say: "One night, a cat was walking through the forest."

Instead, say: "One dark night, a cat was walking through the lush, green forest." Sounds much better. And don't continue the story with: "He saw something coming. He jumped back." Then the readers will not keep reading. You need a plot. Not some boring avoidance to one.

If you say: "He stood bravely before it, unleashing his claws, ready for a fight." That would keep the readers going. And you should add a fight, if this is the prolouge.

Then, if it wasn't, skip this part. (But that should be a prolouge tbh.)

In Chapter 1, it could actually be a mother telling her kits a story of a warrior that is now dead. If not, you might want to have the Clan sitting vigil for him, or him dying.

And for the dying part, use descriptive words like: "They lied his dead body in the clearing. He lay limp as cats walked forward to share tounges with him."

Instead of: "They lied his body in the clearing. Cats walked forward." The version above sounds better, don't you agree? And along the story, continue the descriptive words and good plotline, and you should end up having lots of comments, reads and fans!
