Ah! Romeo and Juliet, the star crossed lovers =)

Anyways, for me at least, there is no formula to good writing, because it can come in all shapes and sizes. I would like to say I like to talk and I have a good vocabulary, so because of that I find it a bit easier to write. It really depends. For me, No Gravity was honestly a last minute decision and I decided to run with it. But I also knew where I wanted it to go, what kind of emotions I wanted to pull out and what not. If you're not crying while writing a sad scene, a reader won't be while reading it, you know?

The way to not making a cheesy, short, quickly written (bad grammar and not enough thoughts and/or words) story, is just that. If you think it sounds too cheesy, change it. If it doesn't seem long enough, read it over a few times and add what you want to lengthen it (without it being too long of course). If you don't want bad grammar, have someone else read it over before you (have someone beta it) or get a spell checker.

The key to really selling a story (in my opinion) is to make it your own. Stories come in many forms or writing, so there isn't just one way to do it. What may work for me might not work for you (trust me, I wouldn't recommend trying to write a story under pressure).
