The Dreaded 2nd DraftDarling Mionette'sA Writer's Guide To The Second DraftOh noes. Let those be my first words in this tutorial. Now that I've gotten that out of my system, may I never mutilate the English language in that manner again. Welcome to my tutorial on the dreaded "Second Draft" of creative writing. If you've read my other tutorial (How to write - and love it), then you're well aware of why I call this the dreaded second draft, but if you haven't, then let me explain: I am a firm believer that all editing in creative writing should be left to the second draft. The first draft, should remain edit-free so as not to stem creativity.

How To Write - And Love ItDarling Mionette's
How to Begin To Write

Welcome to my tutorial on how to start writing. This tutorial isn't going to teach you the rules of grammar, or punctuation. Let's face it – there is a plethora of such tutorials already out there. Instead, this tutorial is going to teach you the tools you can use to get a head start on writing.

You Are a Writer

First things first: acknowledge that you are already a writer. What? You're not? You could have fooled me. Let's face it; from the moment we're born, we're unwittingly taught to become writers. Language is one of the first tools we learn, and along with that, story telling. You may ha

Suggester's words: Commission Guide by =DarlingMionette is a great guide for any artist here on dA who is wanting to start offering commissions or who just wants to reexamine their current commission method. This guide covers everything from work ethics, payments to advertising. A true gem of a guide every artist should have stored away in their arsenal.

This is really helpfull, exactly what I was looking for

If you don't mind, I have a question...
I already prepared something,
but I'm not sure if my art is good enough : [link]
So, what do you think ?

=DarlingMionette May 11, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

Art is subjective ^^ Only you will know when you're comfortable selling your work. If you aren't sure if you're ready, then take some time to keep improving, and come back to it when you're confident that you are at that point in your work ^^ You can't go into selling your work if you don't believe in it.

~SnowyGlaze 3 days ago Hobbyist General Artist

I guess I have a pretty low self esteem

I've been asking around and it seems some people
actually want me to do commissions.
Thank you for your time

This is fantastic! Thanks so much; one cheeky question though, other than advertising on dA, could you recommend a few other websites to advertise on?
