“how do you plot / plan your book?” very bold of you to assume i do that.
This is like when Greek tragedies have missing lines and you’re not really sure how you got from point A to point B so quickly
Cosplaying as a full-time author 👄✍🏽📓
(I took a day off to meet an editorial deadline)
Writing rule:
Every character who speaks gets their own paragraph. If two characters are talking, each time they switch you must create a new paragraph.
Do not add more than one characters’s dialogue into a single paragraph or it will be too confusing for the reader.
Sometimes I feel like writing is more like digging to uncover a buried treasure than creating. I mean like the more I write the more I’m like ‘DANG is that a plot twist I see?!?! Okay let’s try to write a little more… OHMIGOSH IT IS!! I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!! Let’s see what we’ll uncover next…’
One of my favorite parts of writing is going back through the Ancient Drafts™ to find bits that you want to reuse then having to go through said section and fix it. Like no Harper you can't say that anymore there is no longer a fabricated pandemic taking place in your universe. You have to make it about the human experiments now. Also why are you talking like that ew stop it you cringelord.
