I was approached by someone who wanted advice, and I gave some, and thought that I should share it and some few other thoughts.
This piece has opinions!
Writing is art, art is subjective and in the eye of the beholder, consider everything in this guide to end with question marks and words like "perhaps not" "maybe not" "You may think differently" "I could be totally wrong" etc etc.
Take from it what you think might help!

Basics

Gonna copypaste a little from my responses here and add some extra as well:

Usually I will write in Libre Office (it's a free office software package), but Roadkill and Mile High Club were written directly into Inkbunny, which makes a little bit nice "flow" when I want to push the cursive button etc. When I write in Libre Office i will make cursive words BIG and then when I put it into inkbunny I will find the big words and turn them small and use the cursive button.
FOR NON ENGLISH SPEAKERS: Download or use a different browser when you write your story directly into Inkbunny and go to settings and change language to English! It will have spellchecking as good as word or libreoffice! (but not grammar stuff, so take that into account)

Write correctly, all the time.
Yes, even when you RP. Yes, even when you shitpost on twitter or whatever.
It will be hard to do so, but when it becomes second nature, it will make everything you write come out in a proper manner.
People who like to read stories, most of them at least, like to read stuff that has nice themes and characters and scenes, but most importantly, they like it to be written correctly.
Personally, if I go into a story to read it, if I see of lot of grammatical mistakes and miss-spelled words, I get turned off for the most part.
Look at grammar and proper written language as like the lines of a drawn picture. The better the grammar, the more smooth everything looks. Bad grammar is like something shoddily drawn in mspaint with a mouse, good grammar is a good artist using a good program to draw in with a stylus.
Like, to continue with that thought, you can look at a very bad drawing and think the themes are nice and at least they got the eyes right. However, if you see a drawing with the same themes, but everything just adds up, body proportions are good, and the lines are well-developed, then your response is much more intense. Nice ideas AND nice style.
Writing is the same.

The thing that keeps it sharp for me is that I read a lot, both news articles, certain forums as well as books.
I highly recommend reading books to expand vocabulary. Also authors like Birdpup, Arkki and also Cyberblade and Xaxis and many many others produce 'good' writing, with few grammatical mistakes and a lot of what I call 'fancy' words.

But like, start with the basic stuff. Capital letters after a full stop. Capital Letters After A Full Stop. Use commas to create breaks in a sentence so the reader isn't confused. Know the difference between there and their, etc etc etc. I cannot provide programs and such, cause I don't use them.
Another VERY IMPORTANT aspect is timed language.
He goes through the door.
He went through the door.
He was going through the door.
He had been going through the door.
Different timed language is VERY important to keep track of. If you struggle with grammar, KEEP IT SIMPLE and don't try to mix it up for variety, you will just be confused and the reader will think it is a mess!

FOR NON ENGLISH SPEAKERS: What is your favorite book you own? Go down to the library and loan the English version of that. Compare the words and the expressions. Even something like Harry Potter will expand your vocabulary by a fuckton if you are not very proficient at reading/writing english!

ASK GOOGLE OR BING OR WHATEVER BROWSER YOU USE:
If you go into the search field and write "they and their", you will find helpful results!
I often have difficulty with "lay and lie" and I put it in the search field, and lo and behold, you get a good explanation for what is what!
Same goes for words that resemble each other, or just fancy words. Look it up and see what it means (and how it is spelled).


Motivation is personal, but there is also this thing that's called dicipline.  Force yourself to write 500 words then try again the next day, something like that (I'm not the right person to give advice on this lmao)

One thing that helps is:
WRITE FOR YOURSELF

Do you like inflation? Do you like micro-macro vore stuff? Pooping in diapers? Big dicks in small holes?
Whatever your "main" fetishes are, WRITE THEM.
It is MUCH more easy to be passionate about being creative when you are having fun.
Don't think about views and watches and all that, JUST WRITE. The more you practice, the better you become, and if you write into subsections of fetishes with limited content, you WILL get screen time and a few dopamine hits occasionally from fav and watches from those other few peeps with the same interests.
Just remember, to always to try improve your grammar and your vocabulary. Nice content with shit writing is not nice! Think of the artists you are following, how they improve and get better, until they have a "style" that is pretty good and works for them going forward. Treat your writing skills with the same seriousness. You don't need to be super A++++ level in English to write a nice story, as long as the content is good, and there are few/none grammar and spelling mistakes!

Another thing is SMUT VERSUS STORY
People come here, mainly, to get their rocks off.
If you embark on a huge and great story project, DO NOT BE DISSAPOINTED when the engagement is low and few even read more than the first chapter. Most are not here to find the next Tolkien, they are here to read something arousing that will keep them occupied for 10 minutes.
Write accordingly.
Or don't, there IS an audience for longer stories, but it IS limited.



"Advanced Stuff"

- Nothing wrong with a thesaurus, but for the love of God, DO NOT MISUSE FANCY WORDS! You will come off as a tryhard and people will simply not be able to understand what point you are trying to make.
- To add to that: You must be ABSOLUTELY sure of the meaning of the words you use. Fancy five-syllable words that are put in wrongly cuts the eyes (and are hella confusing)!
- Wanna spice it up a little? Put in a word in the search field of your browser and add "synonym". Just DO NOT overdo it! This is good for expanding vocabulary, but make sure to put in the fancier word in the browser and read the description. Oftentimes, the synonym may have certain features that push in a direction you are not meaning it to do! Like dark and gloomy. Dark is just dark, absence of light, gloomy is creepy/disturbing-like, stuff like that.
