All the Writing References in One Place @atlexwritingreferences - Tumblr Blog

If You Find This Blog Welcome...

...this is a side blog to house my aesthetics for my writing: ocs, fantasy worlds, general aesthetic stuff.

It's also to be used for writing tips and references on anything writing related!

As well as to keep track of my writing journey as I work through my rough draft and eventually the editing and publishing process!

Welcome!

Take your shoes off, make yourself some hot chocolate, prop your feet up, and enjoy your time here!

“oh. oh” in writing is a treasure. I will never stop using it and cherishing it.

Tricks for writing Accents and Dialects!!<3

Sometimes you just need to restart whatever you're writing.

You can’t force a square peg into a round hole, so if something really isn’t working, it’s totally okay to start again with a new outlook. Sometimes an idea just needs a subtle change to come together, but you’ll never know if you don't try it out.

It's a hard less on to learn, but a good habit to build.
