writing is 10% storytelling and 90% rearranging three sentences for an hour like you're trying to solve an ancient curse

Re-reading old scenes and plot twisting yourself with lore you forgot you wrote and never since then addressed must be one of the funniest feelings.

When we write, we tend to create characters that fit our constraints of rationality. Even villains are formed by logically constructing why one would resort to evil actions. That's because, even imminently, we have a comfort zone, discarding what we can't understand for the sake of controlling the flow of our story. And that's good.

Yet, it helps to sometimes bring this process upside down. That is, making characters who seem nonsensical and exploring them later. Characters who are hard to write until we learn them. It may take a few scenes, most of them rewritten afterwards, but will help get rid of some monotony and open new horizons to behavioural patterns. Plus, it may change a story unexpectedly.

Ever feel like your first book became so large it will never be published and so make a shorter book that then also became too large and then feel like making a shorter one but then end up in a loop?

I do my best writing when I’m sleep deprived.

We often see writer's block as an enemy. I feel it's a protective mechanism, often a necessity to recharge the imagination and miss your story so you return to it with hype.

Don't push yourself to go out of it. Let you return naturally. And if you don't, you may need more time, or a change in lifestyle. As long as the spark lit the flame in the past, it will do so again. You only need to see why the firewood is still damp.

Paper and digital writing are two entirely different experiences.

When you write on paper, your story advances slower, and you immerse yourself more as scenes play over and over in your head until they get written. Corrections are fewer and make it dirty, so you strive to be certain of what you write.

When you write on computer, you write faster and rewrite many scenes. The whole story is fluid as you are always mentally in edit mode. Sometimes you remove whole chunks that you can't easily do on paper.

If you write for yourself, you'll find way more satisfaction on paper. If you write to get published, digital is the get go.
