writing tip #4162:

maybe write something people want to read idk

[gr8writingtips]

writing tip #4161:

you don't need to know every detail of a scene before you start writing! just the beginning, the middle, the end, which characters are involved, what they do, every line of dialogue, what clothes they're wearing, what they had for breakfast that morning, the weather,

[gr8writingtips]

writing tip #4160:

do you REALLY need to explain everything to the reader? no, they’re smart, they can figure out that the protagonist is always wearing crocs themselves
