This is a board for veterans and newbies alike, it is a small and simple guide that can help you make your posts longer and more detailed and more understandable! Hopefully it will help you. It can help newbies better themselves, or it can help veterans when they are not sure what to post!
Making a better post is so simple, it is all a matter of questions. First off, I always turn on some of my favorite music to help me get stimulated. I always try to find the music that fits the mood. Say one of my characters is about to fight another, I turn on something like "Welcome Home" by Coheed and Cambria to help stimulate a fighting mood, and then I make my post.
Alright, got your music going
There are many more questions you can ask yourself, this is a basic guide. You can ask yourself 'Who is on my character's mind
Try not to force a post, it will just turn out sloppy and you will feel bad. I believe in quality over quantity but always be sure to be mindful of the site's post length requirements!

' but that falls under the lines of what they are thinking. Pretend that you are writing a story book, grab your favorite drink, let the words flow, and have fun!
