reminders for writers.

nobody gives a crap if something is overdone in fiction. what they really care about is the execution

having a bad day of writing does not make you a bad writer

tropes ≠ clichés. if someone tells you it's wrong to use tropes, disregard the advice

writing in your second or third language isn’t always easy. you’re doing great

writing advice = tools. not rules. you’re not meant to follow every advice you read about on the internet. learn the rules so you know which ones to break

every writer is capable of writing a captivating story, but your story might not be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s ok. there will still be people out there who’ll adore it

it’s ok to not excel at every genre! you can write things because you think it’s fun, doesn’t always have to be a matter of writing something because you’re good at it. it’s ok to explore (and it helps you improve as a writer!)

1. Don’t be afraid to write.  (You can’t edit a blank page)

2  Write for yourself: finish that story: readers/ fanbase will follow)

3. (Help other Aspiring Artist/Writers when you can)

4. Your your own worst critique 

5. Don’t be afraid to ask the hard questions. 

6 be open to taking critiques. 

7. Not all critiques are back-handed.

Don’t forget to have fun!  there is a story inside of us all (An image/picture if your an artist)

A couple of suggestions:

First and foremost write for yourself (unless you have taken a writing assignment and are doing it for the money). Write because you love to or you need to. You have a unique perspective, share it. Find your own "voice." The more you write the better you will get.

If you have an idea, write it. Put "pen" to "paper" and get it down. Even if you don't know where it's going. Even if it's not a story or even part of a story. Get it down on "paper" and revisit it later. You may find that it fits into a future story or it might inspire you later to write a story around it.

In addition to writing I also edit other people's work and these are a couple of suggestions:

Mechanics of writing:

You shouldn't let this deter you from writing but if you think you want a better understanding of grammar, syntax, and punctuation than you currently have there are many online resources you can learn from. When I started writing seriously I revisited books by some of my favorite authors and took note of how they wrote. For example, one of the things I noticed was that some writers will include dialog from several speakers in a single paragraph and some writers will make each character's dialog its own paragraph. I write each character's dialog as its own paragraph because that's what works for me. You get to decide what works best for you.

Head nodding and head shaking:

I include this because I see them used incorrectly fairly often and it can be confusing for the reader when they're mixed up.

Head nodding is moving the head up and down. To native English speakers it means "yes" or an answer in the affirmative. Examples: "Mary nodded her head in agreement," "Mary nodded in response," or "Mary nodded." Any of those can be used to indicate "yes" or agreement.

Head shaking is moving the head from side to side (from left to right or vice versa). To native English speakers it means "no" or a negative reply. Examples: "John emphatically shook his head no," "John responded with a shake of his head," or "John shook his head." Any of those can be used to indicate "no" or disagreement.
