haha, no problem :) Writing tips as in: How to grab the reader's attention and have it until the very end?

okay let's see! :D sorry if my tips aren't that great. I'm not exactly the best advice giver o:
1. Do not rush. If you rush through your story, you're going to leave out important information, and your plot will not be as believable.
2. Don't drag. This is pretty much the opposite of rushing. Don't go so slow that people get bored.
3. Make every chapter matter. It took me some time for me to really get this one, and I'm sure I still need practice on it, but every chapter should get you ahead in the story. Every scene, really. Don't put in a pointless scene just to take up space. It's a waste of your time and the reader's time. If the scene doesn't move your characters and story along, you don't need it.
4. Even out the detail and the dialogue. You don't want too much either. Too much detail will bore readers, and too much dialogue won't give you any visuals that you need.
5. Have subplots! They add texture and make your story more interesting. Yes, the major conflict is important, but if there's other conflicts as well, it makes your story more fun to read.
6. Be careful of plot holes--they can be deadly. Plot holes can distract your reader and take away from their enjoyment.
7. Make your characters relatable. Don't make them cardboard cutouts! Give them feelings, flaws, inspirations, intentions--make them human.
I can't really think of anymore at this point o: I'm sorry if that didn't help. I warned you I was bad at advice!
If you want more help, Google is a great tool. I'm not saying that to be sarcastic. When I'm stuck, I like to Google writing advice. (:

What's the biggest lie your parents told you growing up?

"oh Ashley babies come in little bags carried by this weird bird thing. oh, and btw, this man named santa brings you presents, a big bunny has a habit of filling eggs with candy, and this fairy likes to come around and trade teeth for money. and while I'm telling you all this, don't swallow your gum! it takes seven years for it to digest."
LIES.

Are you aware of the whole "bring back our girls" trending hashtag? The 234 Nigerian schoolgirls who were abducted?

I was not aware of that hashtag.
I heard about what happened to the girls through my friends, though. I don't even have words for it. It's too terrible.

oh yeah... that just dampened my mood. has she been to the doctors or anything??? ASHLEY ARE YOU TAKING CARE OF HER?!!!
