[fixyourwritinghabits]

Hey I was wondering if you could help me with describing movements?

Like things like say 'she sat down gently.' Sounds so flat to me and I'm not sure how to fix it...

Apologies for sitting on this one a bit, but I wanted to get the phrasing just right.

One of the most common writing advice tidbits out there is to kill your adverbs - but in defense of adverbs, they're great! In the right context (and especially when word counts matter), an adverb works just fine to color in the scene. The problem, as you've discovered, is that they often become a crutch, creating flat sketches when you're trying to paint a picture. So when struggling with this, there's a few different ways to look at it.

Context. Take the sentence "he ran quickly down the road." If we replaced ran quickly with sped, galloped, raced, etc, and we not only have a tighter sentence, but a better picture. Consider too the type of action that's appropriate to the character - how they move, based on body shape, personality, etc. If I say "the man slithered into the room," not only are you thinking of smooth, fluid motions, but the connotations of snake-like movement in English is that of an untrustworthy, shifty person. Make your words do the work for you.

Emotion. Your character is sitting down gently. Why? Is she trying to be demure and reserved to impress others at an important function? Has she just received shocking news and is trying to repress her reaction? In this case, keeping the adverb works, but add to it. How does she feel internally versus what she does externally? What can this tell us about the character?

Action. Hand-in-hand with context here, if you're really trying to get down a scene with a lot going on, swap out those adverbs for action verbs - dodged, swiped, leaped, etc. Stronger verbs over adverbs will win the day. Now, you might not pick the right verbs at first - "Jon galloped down the hall, windmilling his arms like a madman" may be too much in one sentence, but a bit of revising can fix it. Don't be afraid to rewrite more than once - you'll get it in the end.

Another one I want you to consider is dialogue - lengthening out descriptions in intense conversations can hinder the effect you're trying to make, and shorter speech markers and adverbs will do you good here. There's a difference between hissed, whispered, said softly, and said quietly - and you're doing yourself a disservice by cutting out all adverbs from your work. Like everything else, they're tools that can aid when appropriate, but while you can use a wrench like a hammer, you can't use a hammer like a wrench. Figuring out how to use them is your best bet.

Six Ways to Reduce Adverbs

How Can I Omit Adverbs?

Favor Strong Verbs Over Adverbs

Strong Verbs: An Easy Guide

[nazmazh-deactivated20231026]

Possibly addressed in one of the links I mean to read later, but one thing I've seen - possibly from this very blog, is that adverbs are strongest when then contradict, rather than complement the verb they're paired with.

"She smiled warmly". I mean, yeah, it might be more inviting than most smiles, but a warm smile isn't too unusual.

"She smiled menacingly". The dissonance is inherent to that. You're immediately drawn to this description, comparatively.

Are there reasons that you might really want to describe the warmth of a smile? Sure. Are there better ways to convey the menace of a grin? Again, why not? Writing's fluid like that. The situation will inform what works best.

[fixyourwritinghabits]

Yeah! And even considering replacing the adverb, there’s so much you can say.

“She smiled like the sun.” Probably a lover, someone who genuinely lifts your emotions to see happy. Would not use, for example, for the antagonist, though you are welcome to figure out how.

“She smiled like it hurt.” Completely different vibe.

You don’t have to replace an adverb with a paragraph, and you can use an adverb very effectively. It’s all a matter of practice.

How I create my characters

masterlist. main navigation.

@bluebxlle_writer on Instagram

I’ve been getting questions on how to create characters recently, because apparently lots of y’all don’t know where and how to start creating a new character. I don’t think this post will help everybody, since everyone has different methods on creating characters (eg. some come up with names first, others come up with appearance first), but in this post I’ll be sharing my character creation process. I hope it will help! <3

1. An iconic line

This is a less well-known method to start creating a character, but for some reason it's always how I do (and it always works lmao). It's hard to create a character from scratch, so instead, I think about an iconic line that the character could say, which is usually related to my wip's theme or mood. I came up with this line for an oc :

"I've been trying so damn hard to make everyone smile, but I get it now. The world would be happier without me, wouldn't it?"

Just from this single line, I already know lots of things about this character :

• They always put the happiness of others before their own.

• They've probably been told that they need to have a positive effect on others in order to have the right to live.

• They've been trying to please others, but end up worsening things.

• They're determined and desperate.

• ...They probably had a corruption arc and won't get a happy ending :"D

• The moment when they say this line is their breaking point

See? Just from two sentences, I already have an idea of their personality and backstory. Sometimes, I even get an idea for their appearance too. This is way easier than not knowing what to do first to create a character from scratch.

2. Appearance

Lots of people come up with character names before their appearance, but I always need to generate their appearance first, because otherwise, I can't visualize or imagine them. I usually play around with picrew.me (an avatar generator website) to generate their potential appearance. I don't spend too much time on this stage tho, because I'll end up changing their appearance again after figuring out more details about my wip (that's why I said potential appearance).

3. Personality & backstory

After having a rough idea of how they look like, I'll imagine them in various scenes in my wip and come up with their personality. If there are already other existing ocs in the wip, I always be careful to not repeat too much aspects from the other characters, so each character will be unique.

Then, asking why the character has a specific personality will create their backstory. For instance, if a character has trust issues, ask why. Maybe they've been betrayed by a loved one before? Or they live in a dangerous world where everyone double crosses people to survive?

4. Name

After I know their appearance, personality, and depth, that's when I decide a name for the character which fit their vibes or has symbolism. For example, my character Bayu's name is symbolic because it means "wind", reflecting how he's a thief who moves as fast as the wind.

Sometimes, I don't immediately search for a permanent name if I'm out of ideas. I'll just choose a random placeholder name that fits their vibes, and remember to come up with their real name later.

5. Character arc

After knowing all the general information about the character, I'll begin plotting out their character arc - their development throughout the book/series and whether it's a positive or negative character arc. This stage is the hardest for me, because I need to figure out its starting, breaking, and ending point, and also the factors and people involved in the arc. I have a post series about both redemption and corruption arcs, you can check my masterlist to find them!

How You Learn How to Write

They say that you can’t teach writing and they’re probably right. What I believe is that there are definitely ways to get better and improve your craft. Certain things are absolutely necessary to progress and improve as a writer - no matter what the skill level is.

I’ve got a few things here and there that aren’t trade secrets but more good advice for moving forward with your writing.

1. Put Pen to Paper.

You don’t know what you’re like at writing if you don’t try at least once. The important thing about giving it a go is that if you won’t know where to start if you don’t start at all. You may think that you’re terrible at writing or that you’re God’s gift to the medium but you have to produce something - and I mean anything - to get started. Think of it as taking a preliminary test for a college to get a handle on your skill level. See my blog about writing exercises if you need any help. :)

2. Get Help (and Allow Yourself to Be Helped).

It seems incredibly obvious considering what the subject of this article is but what is fundamental to learning the art of writing is that you have to know how to get help, where to get help from and how to apply it to your work. What I should point out at this juncture is that you should never hand out money to people who are offering to read your work. Most literary agents would happily read your work for free.

But it doesn’t have to be a literary agent. Just get someone who you trust to tell you the truth and be honest. Preferably, get a reader to critique your work like they would for a book from a bookshop. The more important aspect is psychological. You have to learn how to take criticism on the chin and not take it personally. Understand that whoever is giving you constructive critcism has your best interests in mind. What is constructive criticism? Simple. The want for your work to be more effective and when that want is asked for. Not unprompted put-downs in preference of what the critic wants.

Be prepared to take the advice and make the changes to your work. You may see it as a damage to your work and you may even not end up with that in your final edit but cycling through the chunks of info will help you find your way - what is good and what isn’t.

3. Read.

I’ll keep putting it in writing articles until I’m blue in the face but you have to read. If not read, take in any media - painted art, television, cinema, music - and think about it creatively; how was it put together and how it works as a piece of media. Take in the story, the composition, the structure, the dialogue and the syntax. What you learned in English Literature at school is useful in these scenarios because of the problem-solving skills it teaches you. When you understand what makes something quintessentially good. What, exactly, absorbs you in the product?

When you know the answer, it will make you a better writer. Think about art like a philosopher thinks about life or how a psychologist thinks about the mind.

4. Make Use of Your Notebook (or memo app on your phone).

Plan. Write down story ideas (they won’t stay in your head forever). Keep tabs on your progress and if someone tells you helpful advice or if you read a pertinent quote online, write it down. Be economical and try not to fill your notebook with random circled words out of context or underlined dates for no reason. It isn’t enough to just cosplay as a writer because you actually have to be one if you want to be good at it. This piece of advice is only small but it’s practical and a good notebook can put in the hard yards to make you work-hours more efficient in the long run.

5. Engage Your Imagination.

The word learning might sound tedious to you because it probably reminds you of a time in your life where you were depressed, bored, lost or just generally having a bad time of it. The truth is though that the best writers at the top of their game with nothing left to prove are still learning. You have to think about the process of writing without an academic mindset so you get the best out of yourself.

I did go to university and it must be said that it didn’t necessarily teach me how to write but taught me how to be better. I didn’t take a fancy to writing in school because they don’t really teach it and the subject of “creative writing” isn’t defined by 2+2. It’s closer to crafting a sum with two numbers you’ve invented yourself. I may be rambling but my point is this: engaging your imagination is learning how to write.

6. Read Your Own Work Aloud to Yourself.

This is very hard. It’s difficult but very, very necessary. You have to read what you’ve written out loud to yourself so you can see how it sounds.  See if you’re out of breath at the end of sentences and if full-stops (periods) and commas are in the places that they should be. You have to believe me when I say that reading in your head is a completely different sensation.

You’ll even discover certain adjectives and nouns don’t roll of the tongue the way you think they do in your head. There is a certain beat and rhythm to writing that you won’t discover without properly dictating it out loud. As a little bonus, you could unearth grammar and spelling mistakes dotted around here and there. That brings me on to my next and final point.

7. Master The Basics.

Okay, this is the only hard-nosed point that I have to make so I left it at the end.

This isn’t even something that you need a degree for. You just have to know how to use Google and utilize it for incredibly accessible knowledge about language and how it is constructed. Grammar, punctuation, sentence structure - all that really boring stuff that you learned really early on. If you didn’t pursue the subject of English Language (or the respective national language class in your country) in further education because of whatever reason, you will lose that basic knowledge.

If you use a word and you ask yourself what it means and your brain doesn’t have a proper answer, look it up. Always double-check that a word means exactly what you think it means. You can’t just guess or go from memory unless you are positively sure. Don’t allow yourself to be caught out and, by using Google more and more, it will stick in your head. For example, I used the word quintessentially in this article earlier. I looked up both what it means and how to spell it. I was 95% sure but that isn’t enough. If you don’t know where the apostrophe goes in a sentence, I am begging you to look it up. There is no shame in not knowing and using a search engine takes ten seconds max.

If you master the basics, even your writing isn’t all that much to write home about, it will look professionally put together. You’d be surprised how many mistakes you read online and you don’t even know it is a mistake. I have made mistakes that have been easily avoidable had I just looked it up.

Hey there! Do you have any tips for writing subtlety? Idk how to exactly explain it but when I writing, I notice that I seem to be writing things as they are so it doesn't leave much for the readers to infer and have that aha! moment. I hope that makes some sense. Thanks!

Wasn’t sure how to answer, so I found some other writers who could:

Definitely study more about the “show, don’t tell” guideline as well as the other senses that can be used in writing besides the essential five. Likewise, “on-the-nose” is generally used to refer to dialogue, so if you’re having trouble with that too, search “on-the-nose dialogue” for tips on improving.

[lisaminnci]

There were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely, winding road at twilight. In time, the brothers reached a river too deep to wade through and too dangerous to swim across. However, these brothers were learned in the magical arts, and so they simply waved their wands and made a bridge appear across the treacherous water. They were halfway across it when they found their path blocked by a hooded figure.

Luna had decorated her bedroom ceiling with five beautifully painted faces: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Neville. They were not moving as the portraits at Hogwarts moved, but there was a certain magic about them all the same: Harry thought they breathed. What appeared to be fine golden chains wove around the pictures, linking them together, but after examining them for a minute or so, Harry realized that the chains were actually one word, repeated a thousand times in golden ink: friends … friends … friends …
