I know adverbs are controversial, but "said softly" means something different than "whispered" and this is the hill I will die on.

Writing in my head; Beautiful flowing sentences full of powerful phrases and witty dialogue.

Writing on my page: They did a thing and said some stuff. There was snark.

please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts

Fanfic writers are like crows. If you give them treats (comments) they will bring you shiny things (fanfic)

Fanart for a dead fandom (+ first post)

Can't sress it enough that writers and artists need engagement on their fics/art if you want to see more from them!

A simple nice comment can be so motivating. Mindless keyboard slamming in tags, feral barking does the trick too!

It's not hard to support your favorite artist & writers on here. I promise we remember every nice reblog and comment even if you think it's small and insignificant. Seeing a comment on something about what you liked makes our day, motivates us to give you more and make us feel like we did something right!

Do you know anything i can donate to for palestine that's not the gofundmes because the idea of having to choose who needs my money more is just. scary to me they all need it 3: maybe there's a thing that splits/distributes money evenly???? idk but help would be appreciated

Gazafunds actually deals with this anxiety and makes a decision for you if you want. Their home page has a spotlighted fundraiser and the code consider things like how close the gfm is to finishing, when the most recent donation is, etc. So it's randomized to help as many people as possible.

There's also @helpgazachildren which if you donate, you can help multiple people at once since it's a whole mutual aid fund, or at least close to it. Hussam distributes money to people who need it when he's asked.

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.
