DEVASTATING! one half of the themes in a song you like fits a character perfectly however the rest of it does not at all

rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between "damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)" and "damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)"

I am also “damn, girl, you wrote this? (forgetful)”

My annoying logical brain: wait but that can’t/definitely wouldn’t happen because—

my favourite thing about writing is slipping in totally innocent lines that will absolutely DESTROY the reader on a second readthrough

Why must the duty fall on me, the writer, to write the story that’s in my head, not on the reader, to simply develop the power of telepathy and *read* my mind for a change, huh?

ten things all writers should keep in mind

Always save your documents. Risk nothing. And back-up your files while you're at it!

Read your dialogue out loud.

You won't remember that story idea tomorrow. Do yourself a favor and write it down.

It's very likely the ''placeholder'' name you give your character won't be ''a placeholder name.'' You will grow attached. Sometimes it's a good thing, other times, not so much.

It's okay to have off days (every writer gets them), you will find your spark again.

Don't delete your old documents! It's normal to cringe at your old writing, but it can be quite fun, and motivating, to look back on your journey and see how far you've come.

It's OKAY to take breaks. You don't need to write 24/7!

Organize your documents. A 3000+ document folder has never done anyone any good (speaking from experience).

It doesn't matter what you write, or how good you are at it. You are just as valid as any other writer.

You deserve a pat on the back, okay? Writing's hard sometimes. Cut yourself some slack. Celebrate your achievements too, ok.
