writers:
- break up your paragraphs. big paragraphs are scary, your readers will get scared
- fuuuuck epithets. “the other man got up” “the taller woman sat down” “the blonde walked away” nahhh. call them by their names or rework the sentence. you can do so much better than this (exception: if the reader doesn’t know the character(s) you’re referring to yet, it’s a-okay to refer to them by an identifying trait)
- blunette is not a thing
- new speaker, new paragraph. please.
- “said” is such a great word. use it. make sweet love to it. but don’t kill it
- use “said” more than you use synonyms for it. that way the use of synonyms gets more exciting. getting a sudden description of how a character is saying something (screaming, mumbling, sighing) is more interesting that way.
- if your summary says “I suck at summaries” or “story better than summary” you’re turning off the reader, my dude. your summary is supposed to be your hook. you gotta own it, just like you’re gonna own the story they’re about to read
- follow long sentences w short ones and short ones w long ones. same goes for paragraphs
- your writing is always better than you think it is. you just think it’s bad because the story’s always gonna be predicable to the one who’s writing it
- i love u guys keep on trucking
I know theres a lot of writers following me and this is some solid advice folks
Great advice.
