Don't write to be liked. Write to be honest.

underrated writer problems

having to name all these characters, so many of them, all the time

the lack of free chocolate

the way typos persist and so must we

forgetting the word for the thingie and rewriting an entire sentence to cover it up

the way you cannot nap through your writing time and expect words to still have been written

– CG Drews (@/paperfury)

Anyone writing, well, anything:

Finish it. Publish it.

Whatever you're working on, someone's gonna love it. They'll stand up and defend it or hold it in their secret heart, a cherished forever favorite.

But only if you finish it.

speculative fiction writers i am going to give you a really urgent piece of advice: don't say numbers. don't give your readers any numbers. how heavy is the sword? lots. how old is that city? plenty. how big is the fort? massive. how fast is the spaceship? not very, it's secondhand.

the minute you say a number your readers can check your math and you cannot do math better than your most autistic critic. i guarantee. don't let your readers do any math. when did something happen? awhile ago. how many bullets can that gun fire? trick question, it shoots lasers, and it shoots em HARD.

you are lying to people for fun. if you let them do math at you the lie collapses and it's no fun anymore.
