I know you get tones of asks/messages but I just want to tell you how much I LOVE your writing!!!! I think you are just so good at writing captivating stories that actually hook readers and leave them wanting more, which is crazy impressive and inspiring! Do you have any tips on how to create a story with interesting plots, characters, and dialogue? Iβm still struggling a bit π₯Ίπ
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!! it means so much to hear things like these, so please donβt let the thought of creators getting a lot of asks deter you from sending your own πππ
i daydream a LOT. like, a ridiculous amount. iβm an only child, so itβs just second nature to escape into another plane of existence lmao
weirdly, when i daydream, i imagine words. i donβt βseeβ a scenario fold out in front of me, i see the words. if the words i see donβt fit, i add new ones, and add and add until iβm happy. i donβt know how this helps you but i thought iβd add it
when i get an idea i open word on my phone and jot it down!
read what you write out loud! the whole thing, not just the dialogue. hearing it catches mistakes in flow, and also pings your brain if something isnβt right
find a βmuseβ or a someone to scream about ideas with. hype-friends are REAL and IMPORTANT and are the root of all incredible stories!
read read read read read read read read read. i only read for a long time before posting my own work!
write write write write write write. my old stuff from when i started writing is T R A S H. hell, i even have a couple of old marvel fics in my masterlist that make me cringe, but i keep them there because of growth. we donβt all start off as good storytellers! i sure as heck didnβt!
listen to music! music is so incredibly inspirational! imagine your OTP and a scenario, and try and capture the mood!
i also like to ratio my fics like: dialogue β plot β monologue. not necessarily in that order, of course. i add my scene setting throughout my fics (or try to) instead of making entire paragraphs on it. i also try not to make my paras too big because i get bored with them lmao
i canβt think of anything else right now, but i hope this inspires you a little! also, iβd love to be tagged in your stuff if you ever decide to post πππ
