write that sentence, that dialogue, that scene that terrifies you
donât delete shit, just move it to another document
have a âbits and piecesâ document for all the odds and ends you canât fit anywhere else
think of the color of a personâs eyes, imagine something reflected in them, now write that scene
fiction doesnât have to be 100% accurate, donât research yourself to boredom
iâm being serious thereâs a thing called suspension of disbelief and itâs magical (yes thatâs me making a joke)
write something that makes you cry
write something that makes you laugh
write something you canât explain to other people
write something you wonât remember until you read it the next day
donât read about the publishing industry until you really, really need to. all it will do is make you unbelievably tired
listen to music from open world RPG video games, youâre welcome
always take a small journal or some paper and a pen with you
write by hand in a journal every once in a while
put the ending of your story in the beginning and see what happens
listen to input from other people. yes youâre the writer, but theyâre the reader and they want to help you make something spectacular
said is not dead dude like wtf
the thesaurus is shiny and lovely and a great resource but donât let words get in the way of your story telling, you donât need to write prose as poetry for it to be beautiful
just finish the draft first, worry about perfection after
yes, you can do this. you already are
