 To write a story, you don't have to have everything in its right place; even skilled writers mess up sometimes, but if you need tips to improve your writing these are some good ones. The first tip is that if you're writing a fiction story, you need to make sure characters have flaws; a main character without flaws would give them no room to make mistakes and grow. If you're writing about a real person, like yourself or someone famous, you have to make sure to include the existing flaws; don't make new ones. The 2nd tip is to make sure there are clear plot points. A story should be organized, not all over the place, or it wouldn't make sense. The 3rd tip is that you need lots of planning if your going to write a book, this doesnt apply to journals since its writing about your day while its still fresh in your mind. Almost all authors have notebooks that they plan their books in. These are just tips, you dont have to do them but lots of people recommend these tips if you're starting out.

 If you like writing but don't know what to write, there are many forms of writing.
