tips for writing more

As someone with adhd I have a lot of trouble being productive and staying focused. This year i’ve developed a few techniques that have really helped me write more!

Write for a set amount of time Every day I write for one hour. Sometimes I don’t write much, other times I write a lot. What’s important is that I have one hour every day to sit down and do it. Making it a habit is important! Also, the fact that I have a set end point helps me to focus. 

Have a writing space I never seem to be able to focus as well when i’m writing from bed. Now what I do is I have a table in the living room, and I go there to write. That’s what I do there, and when I sit down at that table, it puts me in the mindset to write. 

Have writing music I have playlists for certain stories! Personally I have to listen to ones that are soft and mostly instrumental. When I listen to the playlist, I know it’s time to write!

Have a writing candle This one might be a personal thing, but I like to have a scent associated with a task. 

anyone else have specific things they do that help them focus or be productive?

Crap Cutting Core Characters

10 11 vital questions to ask yourself about your character before you start writing.

Internal 1. What do they want and why do they want it? 2. What scares the hell out of them? (Alone? Dark? Poor?) 3. What did they believe by the time they were 10? (Big boys don’t cry?) 4. What is their fundamental truth? (Family first? Good things come to those who wait?) 5. What makes them happy?  (What do they think will make them happy?)

External 1. What are their family relationships like?  2. Who do they look up to? 3. Friends - people typically hang out with others who are like-minded    4. Is there anyone they do/don’t trust? Why? 5. How do they talk? (Distinct voice, tone, style, make them stand out - formal, laid back, intellectual, do your research if you decide to use a speech disorder)

+1 Do they have any medical conditions that would have an impact on any of the answers above?

THIS IS AMAZING!! I have been looking for something like this! :D

[hanisreallygreatatwriting]

Writeblr Intro bc I’m cool like that

Hello, hello. My name is Han (obviously) and I’m also not at all great, unlike my url suggests. I’m a new writeblr, though not new to tumblr, and I’m really excited to get into this community properly! c: I like writing a range of things, but it mostly ranges from really dramatic and contemplative stuff to more of what I was writing like in year 4. I’d say my target audience is basically anyone that has a brain, though I guess people around my age (so mid-teens-ish) is mostly my target. I also cannot spell to save my life, so I appologise for any mistakes :c 

I’m currently working on a few things, which are (in no particular order):

An Elf Called Gweyr (the working-est of working titles):  In a world where elves and humans were at war, there lived a man. He had been trodden on and pushed by both sides, and he decided to fight back. Acaeus joins the rebels - A secret organisation which aims to take down the human government from the inside. He works easily and stealthily steals documents from the government. He ranked high with the rebels, and quickly gained the nickname The Shadow. That was, until, he stole his most important thing yet: An elven child called Gweyr. 

Hearth: Everyone in the world is born with a number, that defines what power they will eventually develop. Babies normally start with a small number, a 000002 perhaps, and some adult grow to a number of 975821. These numbers evolve over time, if their powers become stronger or take on certain specific traits, or if something fundementally different happens to them. Everyone has one. Except for Violet. All her life she has been treated like an outcast, a defect, but then she finds out the truth. She is more powerful than anyone would’ve guessed. 

The Truth Of Toni Elkan: Toni has a secret she had known since she was 13 years old. And she has kept it a secret. She doesn’t want to die in Armageddon. She doesn’t want to get disfellowshipped, to never see her family or friends again. But then she meets the girl with the honey-coloured hair and the warmest eyes. And she no longer cares.

(EDIT: Adding this bc I forgot about it and I’m so sorry ma lil deities D: ) De Brevitate Vitae: The world was new. Young deities ruled the land, having been created from ancient Gods before them. Acelina is a normal girl, going about her days like the average mortal... until she’s thrust into a world she barely believed in the first place. 

Both An Elf Called Gweyr and Hearth are a lil bit based on some Write-It-Motherfuckers writing prompts, which you can find here and here. The Truth Of Toni Elkan is just my obsessive research into Jehovah’s Witnesses, courtesy of Telltale Athiest’s youtube channel, which I 14/10 recommend. He also does other cult stuff, which has slowly been really making me want to write smth else about someone in a cult, but since I wasn’t brought up anywhere remotely close to a cult, I have no idea what to do with that :’) The Original Gods was a literal dream I had about a world that had just been created looking for more deities and shit... and I kinda love it. 

My favourite writeblr’s who I’m going to tag despite the fact that they don’t know I exist, and hey, I love them, so: 

Sorry if you all find this incredibly annoying or anything D:

@write-it-motherfuckers (Because their prompts have genuinely saved me so many times, and their just so sweet)
