Its a guide for people who want to start writing their own stories, if you don't like how its written..go make a better one. Sorry but I like being a picky arsehole as well. :'(

Finally... 'How you write'.... You've used that section and dedicated it to the rules of English... really none of that has anything to do with creative writing at all.

So if I wrote a story that makes absolutely no sense at all, poor grammar, no capitalization, I'd get an award for creative writing? Writing is not all about creativity. The first step toward understanding how to get your story ready for others to read and enjoy is to understand that the formatting of your story is essential to make your story look
presentable for others to read. Having a well formatted story will look much more inviting for others to take a look at and will be easier on their eyes.

In closing, I definitely want to say that listening to the feedback of your readers is important. While you have already imagined the scenes before in your mind and have written them down, the reader is only seeing it for the first time, and the experience is completely new to them. The ability to post your own written story on a forum is an excellent way to get other readers to give your writing a performance appraisal, which can dramatically help your writing. And, if you’re having difficulty getting other people to read your story and evaluate it, try reading the work of other authors and give them your evaluation. Many authors will likely return the favor if they see you’ve written a story as well. Not only can this help you find others to evaluate your work, but it also lets you see how other authors write their own stories with their own different styles.
