FEAR STREET TRILOGY + TROPES

fixyourwritinghabits

How to survive the phase of shitty writting? I know i can't skip it in order to grow, but realistically, how to not give up? How to keep going knowing everything i create is worthless for now and i don't even feel i'll ever progress? I’m trying to come back after quite long time of not writing, i was writing fir years before but i hate pretty much all my previous works, but the curent ones i’m trying to write in order to come back are qualy bad, i’m worried it can never get better.

Write crap.

No really. Buy yourself a notebook or open a doc and label it "Complete Shit." Spend at least five minutes a day forcing yourself to add to it. If you can't do it every day, try doing it three times a week. If you can't do it three times a week, try to schedule it at least once a week. But you gotta make yourself try at least once a week to write something.

This writing doesn't matter. You don't have to fix typos or fiddle with punctuation. You are just going to sit down, write literally anything for five minutes, and go about your day. Try some writing prompts. Describe your mediocre breakfast. Talk about your cat. Write a songfic. You can and will get through this, but you've got to not give up.

Everyone goes through this, and the only way through it is to weather it out. However, if you don't make yourself sit down and write as often as you can, this funk can sink in and keep you from writing for ages.

And if you're still at this point where you can't write anything without hating it, do something else creative. Read books, watch movies, try your hand at art. Do things that keep your brain thinking, because you will be able to reconnect those threads again, but you've got to remove that pressure from yourself to be good. You simply have to be, and keep going, and you will find joy in your writing again.

I would add to this-- avoid labeling as "complete shit."

Words have power and connotations.

If we're already in the mindset our words are bad, don't fuel the fire. Every time you pick up that notebook and it says "shit" or you touch your "trash draft" that is the frame of reference you are setting for yourself.

Some people can and will refer to it as those things, because that is what they need to move forward. Permission to call it something less than so they can move forward knowing this is only the first iteration.

But (imo) if you're struggling to pick up writing because "your words are bad. " Don't fuel that fire. Label the notebook words. Or something that works for you, (we use different tools for different jobs. What do you need it to be)

There will be bad words sure, but good words too.

Spellbinding sentences by barbra Baig may also be worth checking out (request it from your local library! Get it through libby!). There is a lot of great advice in that book with writing intentionally, writing in a notebook daily, and building skills to improve writing

(Love the blog btw just adding two cents as someone who has a similar struggle)

Fair point! My hope is to try to encourage you to write something with no pressure attached to it at all, but if labelling it negatively makes you think of it like that, for sure call it something else.

(Also no dig at songfics either, they're just the lowest pressure fanfic type I could think of.)

Regency Era Rivalries

Mr. Darcy on Mr. Wickham: He's a knave, a scoundrel, a fiend, he goes around whining about the misfortunes HE caused, and he tried to make off with my sister. I despise the man

Mr. Knightly on Frank Churchill: he's just... stupid

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy being like, "I am 100% committed to respecting your 'no', but I heard you wouldn't promise my aunt not to marry me so I had to come and check just one (1) more time."

It really speaks to how seriously Darcy took Lizzie's "fuck you no."

He has said NOTHING to her. Avoided her. Done everything he can to respect that fuck no to the highest level.

But then he hears Lizzie read his socially-above-her aunt for fucking filth on the idea she would listen to him?

"She has never been rude in company. She was rude to me because I was rude to her. If she is so vehemently angry at my aunt to tell her to stuff it, maybe she will read an explanation of my actions AND my sincere apologies."

And Lizzie, who took the word of Mr. Darcy's servants that he was a kind man went, "Um, I GUESS I'll read it." and then went, "YOU JUST TOLD ME SOCIALLY RUINABLE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BABY SISTER, AND I AM A GOOD PERSON, AND OH SHIT I THINK I LOVE YOU."

And this is all BEFORE he gets Wickham to marry Lydia and swears secrecy of his involvement so Lizzie won't think she owes him anything.

Hot bitch work, Mr. Darcy. Hot bitch work.

I feel like all it would take to make Hal Jordan fall hard is some sloppy tippy and a decent home-cooked meal.

anyway the thing about fanfic is that it's not essentially bad or good; it's essentially amateur. some people are absolutely out there writing award-worthy prose (some fic writers ARE award-winning writers IRL!), but that's not the point. the point is that we're all telling campfire stories. it's a community, and it's a way to spend some more time in the worlds and stories that we love.
