5 Tiny Writing Tips That Arenāt Talked About Enough (but work for me)
These are some lowkey underrated tips Iāve seen floating around writing communities ā the kind that donāt get flashy attention but seriously changed how I write.
1. Put āhe/she/theyā at the start of the sentence less often.
Try switching up your sentence rhythm. Instead of
āShe walked to the window,ā
āThe window creaked open under her touch.ā
Keeps it fresh and stops the paragraph from sounding like a checklist.
2. Donāt describe everything ā describe what matters.
Instead of listing every detail in a room, pick 2ā3 objects that say something.
āA half-drunk mug of tea and a knife on the tableā
sets a way stronger tone than
āThere was a wooden table, two chairs, and a shelf.ā
3. Use beats instead of dialogue tags sometimes.
"I'm fine." She wiped her hands on her skirt.
It helps shows emotion, and movement.
4. Write your first draft like no one will ever read it.
No pressure. No perfection. Just vibes. The point of draft one is to exist. Let it be messy and weird ā future you will thank you for at least something to edit.
5. When stuck, ask: āWhatās the most fun thing that could happen next?ā
Not logical. Not realistic. FUN. It doesnāt have to stay ā but chasing excitement can blast through writerās block and give you ideas you actually want to write.
