"Home"🥰 my take on latest chapter but with fanficky flavor.
until the special comes out i'm just going to write it myself
second day of school
Floyd being gray and pathetic for any angst enjoyers out there
Writing advice from my uni teachers:
If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.
Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.
Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.
Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.
This user thinks they’ve been making writing progress when in reality they’ve just been going back and re-editing things they’ve already written over and over as an avoidant technique!!!
I'm so fucking productive. I got so much shit done today.
ⓘ Fact check: This user did the bare minimum for the first time in 3 months.
the post about fanfic writers updating despite wild life circumstances is funny and great, but to all the slow writers, the writers who can’t focus when life is happening a lot, or who simply like taking time off from writing: you’re doing amazing, fandom is not an obligation, and there are many people who prefer short fics, or who read slowly and are in no rush for updates.
