#blog advice

[navybrat817]

Navy, how do you stay motivated to post? I have no followers (I also have only been on tumblr maybe 4-5 months as I saw my fave writers posted more on here than AO3 so I came over here), I reblog other stories I love and that are of interest to me and others, and I post things of interest to me. I’ve even posted a snippet of something new I’m working on but with no followers I feel like what’s the point. How do you gain followers or even get your work with a few eyes on it. I don’t need thousands or even hundreds of followers a small amount is fine just feels better to know someone is out there reading or viewing what I put out. I don’t like being silent on others work as I know the time and effort they’ve put into it so I try to comment and reblog. I love your blog and you have a nice group of mutuals and followers. Hoping to establish something similar on mine.

Hi, nonnie. Sorry this took me a bit to answer. I appreciate your kind words. Tumblr can be both inviting and isolating. I've been writing on here for over 4 years and some days I feel out of place! Life outside of being online, especially as of late, is stressful. I don't want posting to become another stress, if that makes sense.

My nonsense blog is my home though. ❤️

As far as writing, do you have a masterlist pinned? Do you do time zone or shameless reblogs? Reblog ask games and send asks to the people you reblogged from? I'm sadly not a writer with a consistent writing schedule and I didn't gain followers overnight. Having patience isn't easy, but it is key.

I know reaching out to blogs can feel daunting and it's hard to put yourself out there, but it's a good way to make a new writing friend! I do want to stress making friend and not just using people to boost. If DMing is too overwhelming or if you're on the fence, sending an ask helps. Support is everything.

Have you tried signing up for writing challenges? That's also a good way to connect with other writers.

Having a "cheerleader" is a great thing. There are days where I may think an idea or something is terrible and they are encouraging. And I do the same in return. It's a two-way street.

And if no one has told you, thank you for reblogging and commenting. Interaction is what many writers are looking for. And community! I try to interact with my readers and let them know how appreciated they are.

Have fun. Set boundaries. Write what makes you happy.

I'm missing so many things. Lovelies, please feel free to add more!

Love and thanks. ❤️

Hi!

I've been following your blog for years by now and I love your blog. You guided me through my two year long Johnlock obsession.

Ever since I found your blog, I considered posting fic recs myself. I made a collection of ineffable husbands fics but I dont know where to start.

Any advice?

Hi Lovely! *HUGS*

First of all, I am HONOURED that you think so highly of my blog, and that it's an inspiration to you!

Secondly, my primary advice is to figure an organization system out ahead of time, and be prepared to sink all your time into it LOL. Because I wish I figured it out years and YEARS ago.

Well, that also depends upon how obsessively you decide to run the blog. I am in a unique position where my obsessive personality is perfect for organizational skills, and in turn my brain doesn't know when to stop. Running my blog takes up a large chunk of my time, especially running it at the volume of fic recs I currently do. Which is another tip, DO NOT RUN IT AT THE INSANE LEVELS I DO. It will drain you LOL I'm not trying to dissuade you at ALL, I just want you to be aware that running fic rec blog as niche as mine is VERY exhausting <3

I've actually made a few posts from previous asks, but this post from 2021 is still relevant and has links to other posts you can rabbit-hole after reading it. Just to avoid me repeating things I've already said a lot :)

If you have any questions after checking those out that I don't cover in that link, please feel free to ask me. I GENUINELY want to see y'all do things you enjoy, and there is a sense of accomplishment that I get when y'all come to me for advice. To me the recs are worth it so long as people still keep coming back.

any advice for setting up a new fanfic blog? how to get it up and running? would probs take requests as well.

howdy lovebug! i'm so glad you asked! okay, so here's my advice:

1.) setting up your masterlists first are so so important! though you probably haven't posted anything yet, it's vital that you have somewhere to put your creations when you do!

2.) a theme for your blog is so important as well! i find that the more organizational and aesthetic your account looks, the more people it will attract! so, i would take the time to look around at different blogs to get different ideas of what you'd want your account to look like!

3.) when it comes to requests it can be a bit tricky, especially if you're first starting out. don't expect them to come in beginning, it's good to just post and really show your audience what kind of writer you are!

4.) i cannot emphasize this enough but show your potential followers your true self!! be kind and silly in your author's notes if you decide to leave them, bc when people see that your account is a safe space for them, it will make them more comfortable with interacting with you!

5.) talk to your followers! post whatever is on your mind, have an interactive ask hour (that's horribly worded forgive me), etc.

6.) i have a secret hack for you that ive been selfishly keeping to myself, and that is i started my account in late september early october, which as we know is kinktober, and that also is such a big time for your account because people are constantly seeking new content, so be active!!

7.) ESTABLISH TAGS! it'll be easier for everyone, trust me!

that's all for now my friend! thank you so much for asking and if you have any other questions just shoot me an ask or a dm!

[monstersandmaw]

hey! I was wondering if you have any advice at getting stories out there? I’ve started a sideblog to practice some writing and I’d love to get some engagement - I’m not even sure if my posts are showing in the tags I’ve used :/

Ooof, it's rough starting out when no one knows your blog name and you have no idea if your stuff is being seen or if it just hasn't found its audience yet. Hang on in there, Anon!

I'd say maybe have a few stories ready to go, and if you've already posted them, create a masterlist immediately before you lose track of where your stories are (searching for stuff on Tumblr is a lost cause), even if it's only got a few things on it to start with. That way if someone does find your work, they can find more of it immediately. Link it at the bottom of every story too, and on your blog.

Make sure your grammar and formatting is as tight as you can get it. People know quality writing when they come across it, and if it's well written and edited, they're more likely to stay than if it's full of goofy paragraphing, typos, and has a jokey 'lol un-edited' at the start (I'm exaggerating for effect, but I have actually noped out of stuff on AO3 after reading that in the author's notes at the start. If the author doesn't care, why should the reader?).

Speaking of AO3, if you have an account on there, so long as you're not taking money for your writing on here, you can also link to Tumblr from AO3 (if you don't know how to code a link, google it, it's really simple - even I can do it!!) and if people don't have to copy paste a URL, they're probably gonna check it out if they use Tumblr too. Same for other socials - link back to here. Use the audience you may already have somewhere else, but don't spam them.

Interact as your blog's name so that people see your name around the place, because tags suck. (I don't follow any tags, I only follow people, so I'll very rarely come across something 'out in the wild'.) Since you're a sideblog, you can always go anon and then sign off your ask as your sideblog's name.

Be patient. It sucks, but don't expect to get hundreds of notes overnight.

Open your blog to all the prompts and challenges that you're comfortable with. Don't burn yourself out, but if people can engage with you and if they get something out of it too, then they're more likely to reblog your work. That's what I did at the start - I just got people to send me prompts for free stories and I wrote for free, for *exposure*, you might say. (Don't write anything you're not comfortable with, obviously, but be open to new challenges and writing things you maybe hadn't thought of).

Participate in fandom challenges if it's fandom you write for, and look for other writing challenges or events. That can help build a sense of community and might bring you an audience that way.

If you're in a server with people whose opinions you trust, share your work on Discord and maybe ask them for feedback and/or reblogs if they're on Tumblr. Only if you're comfortable with that.

At the end of the day, remember why you're writing though. Notes and responses aren't the be all and end all of creating. Create stuff first because you enjoy creating it, and then share it because you want to share it. Don't give up or get disheartened if you don't get much traffic for a long time, and just keep on sharing anyway. That way, when people do find you, they've got a good backlog to go through as well!

If anyone has any more advice to add to this, please feel free to stick it in the notes!

CONTEXT:

I’m noticing my blog (Turtle Central) is currently kind of my main focus cause I got into a tmnt phase, but I think it would be kind of annoying managing multiple blogs.

But on the other hand, it might be a bit less concise (like if somebody follows me for one fandom but then I get into another, or the fact that the only thing I’ve been doing is tmnt content lately)

I think it’d be more convenient to have everything in one place and focus on growing the numbers on my central blog though…

I’d love advice from both people following and people not, just cause I’m curious what most people would say is the best way to go. I’d still break up my masterlist more but gosh it’d be so much easier to have all my stuff in one place jfjdndj

[antvnger]

((First of all, I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. That’s no fun at all. It can definitely be draining.

Honestly, Anon, I have very few interactions on IM. I have a couple who approach there to talk to Scott, but those interactions are short. Either they’re naturally short, or I just keep them short because my attention is pulled elsewhere.

But most of the time, people in my IMs come looking for me and it’s usually to plan things or clarify something or whatever.

I understand you don’t want to be rude, and I applaud you for it. But if they’re not listening to you when you tell them this isn’t how you want things to be, then it sounds like you have a few options.

You can have a message saved somewhere that whenever they approach in IM, send them that message and nothing else. Send it every time they message you and then move on. If they send more right after that, ignore them. You’ve said what you needed to say and they need to respect that. They’ll either quit or they’ll push you to block them.

It can be something simple like “As previously stated, I would like to not be approached in IMs any longer. If you would like to interact, please send an ask. Have a nice day.”

Short, sweet, and respectful. Send that and nothing more.

If they keep it up, then warn them if they continue, they will be blocked. Then follow through if they do. If they start sending hate, block them ASAP.

You’ve done all you can, and now action needs to be taken. I know it sucks and you don’t wanna seem like the bad guy, Anon, but it is okay to stick up for yourself and your boundaries. Showing kindness does not mean allowing people to take advantage of you.

I hope this helps you, Anon. Good luck! If you have any other questions, you know where to find me.))

[chaotic-archaeologist]

Hey Reid, I wonder if you'd mind giving your advice - not about careers, but about blogging yours! I specialise in African archaeology (based in southern Africa, born 'n' bred), and I have recently gotten a full scholarship to do my PhD at Cambridge! I am very excited about this, want to keep a visual journal and keep people in my life up-to-date with what I'm up to, and start to build a professional social media presence for myself.

As someone who has documented their studies online for years (big fan; been following a while!) what has your experience been like? How do you balance what to post and what not to? Obviously there is sensitive content you can't share (I'm thinking unpublished work and certain finds, etc.) but what about talks and conferences and digs and all the other cool stuff we do?

How much time does it take per week on average to curate your blog? How did you start out, vs. where you are now?

Are there any things you regret, or wish you'd known when you started blogging? I'd be so appreciative of any wisdom you'd be willing to share.

Okay, I'll try to scrape together all of my experience and condense it here.

My experience has been mainly positive. I've gotten a little hate here and there, but for the most part all of the interaction I get is very friendly. I'd like to think that's partly my doing, but a lot of it is a credit to the dirtlings as well. You get out what you put in though, and I think I've been able to avoid some of the nastier stuff because I try very hard to never post when I'm emotional.

Believe it or not, behind the chaos I've been very deliberate with establishing what I think of as my "brand" for this blog. Your quirky archaeologist internet brother who is here to answer your questions and encourage people to pursue archaeology.

One of the biggest things that I put effort into is maintaining a certain level of integrity. That means putting sources in my posts and admitting when I don't know something. If I get asks that are out of my expertise I'll do my best, but I also tag people who might know more than I do.

For my own sanity I've developed a consistent tagging system (he speaks, he answers, academic advice, etc.) so that I can find relevant answers to questions that come in. I've also put together an advice master list and a faq page so that it's easy for me to direct people to posts without having to hunt them down.

As for what I do and don't post, I always clear artifact and site photos with a supervisor first. Additionally, I try to abide by medical privacy rules. For me, that means not posting anything that someone could stumble upon and recognize. No funny emails or class material, nothing that would put me in an awkward position if someone from real life found out about it. Conference research is a little different because it's being presented in public, but I would want the person's permission and to make sure the work is attributed.

I'm honestly not sure how much time I spend because it's all in fits and starts, but it's probably a pretty good chunk. I try to get back to asks promptly, and I check the notes of posts to see if there's anything I want to respond to. I also try to keep a list of drafts that I can publish (often just reblogs from other people) to make sure there's still content on a slow day.

If I have any regrets, it's that my internet hygiene hasn't been as good as it should be. As the blog got more popular I tried to get better, but at this point it wouldn't take much sleuthing to find out who I really am. Again, this is why I'm so careful with the content that I do post, because it's entirely possible that my schools and bosses could find out.

-Reid

PSA

fellas, "multifandom" tells me exactly nothing about your blog. Maybe you like the same fandoms as me, maybe we got no overlap. I now have to embark on a long journey of scrolling through the flurry of your posts to see for myself.

I get that it's a matter of brevity, but for the love of fuck, list your fandoms. Even if there's a lot of them. I'd rather skim through a long list than follow someone and then have blorbo-in-laws popping up on my dash with zero clue as to who they are.

That is all, have a nice day and remember to hydrate or die-drate.

Things That May Be Causing Your Writer's Block- and How to Beat Them

I don't like the term 'Writer's Block' - not because it isn't real, but because the term is so vague that it's useless. Hundreds of issues all get lumped together under this one umbrella, making writer's block seem like this all-powerful boogeyman that's impossible to beat. Worse yet, it leaves people giving and receiving advice that is completely ineffective because people often don't realize they're talking about entirely different issues.

In my experience, the key to beating writer's block is figuring out what the block even is, so I put together a list of Actual Reasons why you may be struggling to write:

(note that any case of writer's block is usually a mix of two or more)

Perfectionism (most common)

What it looks like:

You write one sentence and spend the next hour googling "synonyms for ___"

Write. Erase. Write. Rewrite. Erase.

Should I even start writing this scene when I haven't figured out this one specific detail yet?

I hate everything I write

Cringing while writing

My first draft must be perfect, or else I'm a terrible writer

Things that can help:

Give yourself permission to suck

Keep in mind that nothing you write is going to be perfect, especially your first draft

Think of writing your first/early drafts not as writing, but sketching out a loose foundation to build upon later

People write multiple drafts for a reason: write now, edit later

Stop googling synonyms and save that for editing

Write with a pen to reduce temptation to erase

Embrace leaving blank spaces in your writing when you can't think of the right word, name, or detail

It's okay if your writing sucks. We all suck at some point. Embrace the growth mindset, and focus on getting words on a page

Lack of inspiration (easiest to fix)

What it looks like:

Head empty, no ideas

What do I even write about???

I don't have a plot, I just have an image

Want to write but no story to write

Things that can help:

Google writing prompts

If writing prompts aren't your thing, instead try thinking about what kind of tropes/genres/story elements you would like to try out

Instead of thinking about the story you would like to write, think about the story you would like to read, and write that

It's okay if you don't have a fully fleshed out story idea. Even if it's just an image or a line of dialogue, it's okay to write that. A story may or may not come out of it, but at least you got the creative juices flowing

Stop writing. Step away from your desk and let yourself naturally get inspired. Go for a walk, read a book, travel, play video games, research history, etc. Don't force ideas, but do open up your mind to them

If you're like me, world-building may come more naturally than plotting. Design the world first and let the story come later

Boredom/Understimulation (lost the flow)

What it looks like:

I know I should be writing but uugggghhhh I just can'tttttt

Writing words feels like pulling teeth

I started writing, but then I got bored/distracted

I enjoy the idea of writing, but the actual process makes me want to throw my laptop out the window

Things that can help:

Introduce stimulation: snacks, beverages, gum, music such as lo-fi, blankets, decorate your writing space, get a clickity-clackity keyboard, etc.

Add variety: write in a new location, try a new idea/different story for a day or so, switch up how you write (pen and paper vs. computer) or try voice recording or speech-to-text

Gamify writing: create an arbitrary challenge, such as trying to see how many words you can write in a set time and try to beat your high score

Find a writing buddy or join a writer's group

Give yourself a reward for every writing milestone, even if it's just writing a paragraph

Ask yourself whether this project you're working on is something you really want to be doing, and be honest with your answer

Intimidation/Procrastination (often related to perfectionism, but not always)

What it looks like:

I was feeling really motivated to write, but then I opened my laptop

I don't even know where to start

I love writing, but I can never seem to get started

I'll write tomorrow. I mean next week. Next month? Next month, I swear (doesn't write next month)

Can't find the time or energy

Unreasonable expectations (I should be able to write 10,000 words a day, right????)

Feeling discouraged and wondering why I'm even trying

Things that can help:

Follow the 2 min rule (or the 1 paragraph rule, which works better for me): whenever you sit down to write, tell yourself that you are only going to write for 2 minutes. If you feel like continuing once the 2 mins are up, go for it! Otherwise, stop. Force yourself to start but DO NOT force yourself to continue unless you feel like it. The more often you do this, the easier it will be to get started

Make getting started as easy as possible (i.e. minimize barriers: if getting up to get a notebook is stopping you from getting started, then write in the notes app of your phone)

Commit to a routine that will work for you. Baby steps are important here. Go with something that feels reasonable: every day, every other day, once a week, twice a week, and use cues to help you remember to start. If you chose a set time to write, just make sure that it's a time that feels natural to you- i.e. don't force yourself to writing at 9am every morning if you're not a morning person

Find a friend or a writing buddy you can trust and talk it out or share a piece of work you're proud of. Sometimes we just get a bit bogged down by criticism- either internal or external- and need a few words of encouragement

The Problem's Not You, It's Your Story (or Outline (or Process))

What it looks like:

I have no problems writing other scenes, it's just this scene

I started writing, but now I have no idea where I'm going

I don't think I'm doing this right

What's an outline?

Drowning in documents

This. Doesn't. Make. Sense. How do I get from this plot point to this one?!?!?! (this ColeyDoesThings quote lives in my head rent free cause BOY have I been there)

Things That Can Help:

Go back to the drawing board. Really try to get at the root of why a scene or story isn't working

A part of growing as a writer is learning when to kill your darlings. Sometimes you're trying to force an idea or scene that just doesn't work and you need to let it go

If you don't have an outline, write one

If you have an outline and it isn't working, rewrite it, or look up different ways to structure it

You may be trying to write as a pantser when you're really a plotter or vice versa. Experiment with different writing processes and see what feels most natural

Study story structures, starting with the three act structure. Even if you don't use them, you should know them

Check out Ellen Brock on YouTube. She's a professional novel editor who has a lot of advice on writing strategies for different types of writers

Also check out Savage Books on YouTube (another professional story editor) for advice on story structure and dialogue. Seriously, I cannot recommend this guy enough

Executive Dysfunction, Usually From ADHD/Autism

What it looks like:

Everything in boredom/understimulation

Everything in intimidation/procrastination

You have been diagnosed with and/or have symptoms of ADHD/Autism

Things that can help:

If you haven't already, seek a diagnosis or professional treatment

Hire an ADHD coach or other specialist that can help you work with your brain (I use Shimmer; feel free to DM me for a referral)

Seek out neurodiverse communities for advice and support

Try body doubling! There's lot's of free online body doubling websites out there for you to try. If social anxiety is a barrier, start out with writing streams such as katecavanaughwrites on Twitch

Be aware of any sensory barriers that may be getting in the way of you writing (such as an uncomfortable desk chair, harsh lighting, bad sounds)

And Lastly, Burnout, Depression, or Other Mental Illness

What it looks like:

You have symptoms of burnout or depression

Struggling with all things, not just writing

It's more than a lack of inspiration- the spark is just dead

Things that can help:

Forget writing for now. Focus on healing first.

Seek professional help

If you feel like it, use writing as a way to explore your feelings. It can take the form of journaling, poetry, an abstract reflection of your thoughts, narrative essays, or exploring what you're feeling through your fictional characters. The last two helped me rediscover my love of writing after I thought years of depression had killed it for good. Just don't force yourself to do so, and stop if it takes you to a darker place instead of feeling cathartic

[blue-eyed-author]

Some of my writer’s block cures:

Handwrite. (If you already are, write in a different coloured pen.)

Write outside or at a different location.

Read.

Look up some writing prompts.

Take a break. Do something different. Comeback to it later.

Write something else. (A different WIP, a poem, a quick short story, etc.)

Find inspiring writing music playlists on YouTube. (Themed music, POV playlists, ambient music, etc.)

Do some character or story prompts/questions to get a better idea of who or what you’re writing.

Word sprints. Set a timer and write as much as you can. Not a lot of time to overthink things.

Set your own goals and deadlines.

Write another scene from your WIP. (You don’t have to write in order.) Write a scene you want to write, or the ending. (You can change it or scrap it if it doesn’t fit into your story later.)

Write a scene for your WIP that you will never post/add to your story. A prologue, a different P.O.V., how your characters would react in a situation that’s not in your story, a flashback, etc.

Write down a bunch of ideas. Things that could happen, thing that will never happen, good things, bad things.

Change the weather (in the story of course.)

Feel free to add your own.
