:.Hey x3My name is Emily and blah blah blah.
:.I have a lot of personal, family, and friend issues of my own so a lot of times, I can probably relate to you a lot of times if you have personal, family, and/or friend issues.
:.I can offer a lot of information, help, and advice on family and friend relationships, love lives, depression, stretching/flexibility, weight loss, violin, being organized, dog training, forensics (public speaking), keeping up with school/extracurricular activities, eating disorders, writing (stories and poems), and probably a lot of other random stuff like what to drink when you eat something spicy and why.
:.Although I can help a lot of you guys on the above subjects, I don't tend to take my own advice so it can become quite an awkward/ironic/contradicting situation for me or make myself sound like a complete and utter hypocrite.
:.Hannah Whitall Smith once said, "The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right." I agree 100% of it. Advice is advice and it is given when asked for. I give it and I leave it at that. It's up to the questioner/advice seeker to take it.
:.That point leads onto my philosophies in advice giving:
1. Advice is given when asked and no time else, unless your friend is about to irritate a black bear, then you should definitely advice your friend to back away and run for his or her life.
2. Advice is not critical, not judgmental, and definitely not biased. Advice is advice and should remain neutral.
3. Advice is to help, not to get 5s on every answer. As a result, my advice ends up being quite blunt and frank with a hint of rambling mixed in.
If you have general questions on the topics I can be a lot of help in (as listed above), most likely, they will be in my FORUM
If it is not, you can inbox me to request me to put it up.
:.If you want to ask me a question directly...
a)if it is not urgent and can wait a week or so, inbox me.
b)if it is an urgent question such as "I'm being eaten by a shark! What do I do???" first of all, I'm quite amazed that you can type while being eaten and second of all, e-mail me at cancel.life@gmail.com. I will answer you by midnight of that day (or if it's 11:55PM, probably by 3PM the following day).

Not trying to be rude or anything, but you may want to learn proper grammar and English in general. It doesn't matter if you're using slang because it's online. What you do now will greatly impact how you write, and right now, your writing doesn't look so hot.
As for the writing, there is no "pathway" set to get people going. Writing for me is like my life (I know, corny but true). I can't have people tell me how to write and what to write. Writing is something that is unique to each individual. If you learn how to write from someone else, you're taking away your individuality. Sure, maybe you can get feed backs for constructive criticism to see how you can improve, but learning to write is a long process.
As for getting your own story, I recommend that you get a notebook to write down story ideas or poem ideas or anything. Write down characters you may want to use, names you like & their meanings, etc. Anything that will help you with what you want to write.
You need to learn by yourself what you want to write and how you want to write it and you choose how you want it to play out and how you'll convey what you want to write. If there is someone by your side saying "Write this," "Have him do that," "Have that happen," etc., it's not your work but your buddy's work.
Writing is a way to express one's beliefs and thoughts and feelings. Another can't tell you what to write or how to write. It's a love for words and how the words can mean that usually are insignificant in life. If you want to write only because it's the "cool" thing or because you want to impress someone, walk away right now.
As for the manga thing, why don't you team up with someone who likes to write & has a lot of ideas and you can aid with the drawing?
There is a site called storywrite.com
I suggest you visit and join the site because it's where writers of every genre, age, location, etc. come together an put their works online. Other users will read your stories and give you good comments that will help with improving your writings. Also, there are contests on there that you can definitely use to get an idea of what you want to write especially if you have a writer's block.
You can find me on there so if you decide to join, give me your username or something so I can add you and read your works =)
Good luck
