Hello and welcome! In this section of the website, I’ll do my best to explain both how I write and how you can write. Keep in mind that this is Eltea’s Guide - not Shakespeare’s or Tolkien’s - so it’s not the word of some perfect, all-knowing writing deity. I’m sure I still have things left to learn. However, I do have some useful knowledge about writing, and hopefully it will help you in your own quest. If you’d like a second author’s opinion, step on over to Tierfal’s website.

To use the Guide, pick your question and proceed:

Where do I start?
Is my character a Mary Sue?
How do plots work?
How does grammar work?
How do I improve?

And if you’re still unsure after looking through those, or if you don’t understand something about one of them, or if you just want a human being to talk to, please do email me; I really enjoy figuring out characters and plots and I’d love to help you with yours. :)
