The first draft is bad on purpose. Unfortunately, so is the next one.

I'm working on a few different requests right now and I’m so indecisive about which one to finish and post first! Help me choose what you want to see next! (✿◡‿◡)

Help me decide what to write next!

Childhood Rivals series (Naoya x Sorcerer!Reader)

Something dark/spicy (Nanami)

Don't worry, all three of these are coming eventually—the poll just helps me decide the order! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I still don't understand but i love journaling and penning down my thoughts but often once i write them down and when it's time to go back to it and read it. I just don't like it but when I'm in the moment of writing it down, it's all so magical like I'm creating something beautiful but the spark is gone when i read it later. At times when i pen down something that I'd like to share i suddenly get this gut wretching feeling that it's not that special. Is it just me that gets this feeling? Does anyone know why this happens? Am i even making sense?

Unusual Writing Tips You Didn’t Know You Needed

You’ve probably heard the usual writing advice like "Show, don’t tell" or "Write every day" (yes, I know, I’ve suggested these too—they’re classics for a reason). But I’ve gathered a few unconventional writing tips that have helped me break through creative blocks, and maybe they’ll spark something for you too! ✨

1. Stop Writing Mid-Sentence

It sounds strange, but if you stop writing in the middle of a sentence, your brain will stay engaged with your work. When you come back, you’ll instantly know where to pick up. It’s like leaving breadcrumbs for your mind to follow.

2. Write the Boring Parts First

That one slow scene you’re dreading? Knock it out first. Think of it as clearing the path for all the fun, action-packed scenes that come later. Once the boring parts are done, you can fully dive into the exciting ones without hesitation.

3. Change Your Font

A quick font change can be a game-changer! It tricks your brain into thinking you’re looking at a completely new piece of writing, helping you spot weak spots or areas that need refining. Also, it makes editing less of a chore when you’re tired of staring at the same old page.

4. Write Something Awful

Give yourself 15 minutes to write the worst thing you can. Let it be cheesy, awkward, and messy. This removes all the pressure and often leads to unexpected ideas or breakthroughs. After that, you can dive into your real writing without the perfectionism getting in the way.

@gloriousmooseman seems to hate me; as if I wasn't already struggling to finish my current WIP... she wants me to, possibly, start another one?! Bruh.

Rules: make a 24-hour poll with the names of your wips, let it run, then write one sentence for every vote the winner got.

Okay, let's go. Titles may change ultimately but here they are:

Which one should I write?

One of them is almost finished. Be wise.

Oh, right, I need to tag people now? Um... Going for other fandoms then, because why not?

Tips for a newbie fanfiction writer?

[soraxkingdom]

Created a cover for my novel “Protecting the Aster” that I have on Webnovel. I’m not really an artist and I know it’s no where NEAR professional level but I’m rather proud of how it turned out 😊#writerstruggles #webnovel #novelcover #writer #justdoingmybest #writinglife https://www.instagram.com/p/CMljQTwH0Yz/?igshid=ed5mw5mmo2yh
