Question From Me! FOR WRITERS

Tumblr,

hey hey, so if this post feels a little chaotic, it’s because i’ve been buried in making a bunch of digital products for my gumroad shop 👀 and now i’m curious: what do you all actually want most when it comes to writer-y digital stuff? like what’s the kind of resource/tool/template/etc. you’d actually grab and use?

i set up a poll below with some options, but if your answer isn’t there, just hit “other” and drop your thoughts in the replies. i’d love to hear what you value most as writers/authors/aspiring authors. thank youuu tumblr 🖤

🔮 Poll Options

Writing guides (craft, plotting, character, worldbuilding)

Notion templates / dashboards for writers

Digital workbooks or worksheets

Aesthetic writing planners / trackers (daily, weekly, project-based)

Publishing/editing resources (query help, self-pub checklists, etc.)

Marketing + social media guides for authors

Bundles (a mix of multiple resources together)

Other (tell me in the replies!)

ALRIGHT! MY DUDES! I NEED HELP ON A PROJECT!

Okay so basically the idea of it is that I'm writing a short book/guide/thing for my school library about how to get started writing novels or other long-form fiction, right. Topics like how to make the process less daunting, how to find a place in the writing community where you can talk to other writers, where to find good writing advice/what to listen to and what not to listen to/when certain writing advice is useful, that kind of thing.

What I wished I knew when I was a baby writer tm and didn't yet have connections to other writers, or even a great sense of what questions to ask.

When it is completed, a free PDF will be available for general readership

So what kind of help is most needed?

PLEASE REBLOG THIS AND SPREAD THIS AROUND

But mainly, I wanna hear what pieces of advice you would give your past self when you were first getting started? What pieces of knowledge could have made a noticeable difference in how you approached the journey? If you started writing already surrounded by writer friends, what were some things they told you that you think were instrumental in how you're doing now? If you didn't start in a writing community but feel pretty connected now, how did you get there? What was your path?

Below is a handy-dandy google form below to write in responses (including an opportunity to boost your current wips!)

So, uh, the idea of this whole thing is that I'm writing a guide of sorts for aspiring writers that might give them some of the direction I
