it looks like you're writing a novel

be silly with it

writing is easy, see i'm doing it right now

the secret to getting an agent is to write something that's good

just sort it out

just write it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't trust random writing tips you read on the internet. there's some real weirdos on there

death

the secret is you want your protagonist to be a lil pathetic

the best ideas will always come to you when you can't actually write them. so you're not allowed to write. i'm banning you

write stories that make unimaginative people say 'oh my god!!! whoever wrote this must have been on drugs!!!!!!'

commas are a sin

yell about your story to your friends until you scare them all away

who cares if your protagonist is "likable"? how big is it

is it really a redemption arc if your antagonist doesn't go from wanting to murder the protagonists to chanting "mcdonald's! mcdonald's! mcdonald's!" from the back seat?

if someone tells you to stop writing, you should immediately write 2,000 words in defiance! also, stop writing

have you considered the possibility that your character might be an idiot

writing is hard. so just like. don't do it

a screenshot of a writing tip from the gr8writingtips tumblr. the header reads: writing tip #3939. the tip is: hey cool this tip's number is a palindrome! wait no it isn't. Fuck

you put your right hand in, you put your right hand out, you put your right hand in and do some fucking writing

set up a recording device with automatic transcript every night to see if you can sleep-talk a WIP into existence

put a toddler in every scene for the purpose of asking "but why" whenever you need to organically bring up world building details

scream for 8 hours

cloud backups will disappear if the server is hacked. printed backups will burn in a fire. if you want your novel to be truly safe, you gotta carve it word by word into a cave wall

you SHOULD spend four hours working out which word is making that one sentence read funny. replacing that word is WAY more important than finishing the novel, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

how "good" your book is doesn't matter. the only thing that matters is whether or not i (personally) (me) (specifically me and only me) like it

the only thing that matters is how easily your novel could be adapted into a musical

instead of writing, have you considered posting about writing 3500 times

much like a broken clock is right twice a day, only two of the words you just wrote are in the right places

never name a character Bad Evil Guy Who Is Defeated By The End because that's just. fucking stupid. why would you do that
