do you have any advice for someone who wants to try writing a fic 👀

OOHHH 👀👀👀 ??!!

alright alright so im not exactly an expert but. let me list some things i wished i knew when i first started

number 1 and most important of all: when in doubt, get a beta. BETAS ARE LIFESAVERS. (I'd be willing to beta if you're rlly gonna write 👀)

don't group dialogue all together. like, everytime you switch to another character speaking OR moving then you better press enter andmake a new paragraph. otherwise it's super confusing

double enter each paragraph or use google doc's "add space after paragraph" feature bc otherwise it'll hurt both your eyes and your readers'

i'm not sure what else bc tbh this is just me being picky about grammar haha ignore me but the last and most important one is

write. just write because that's the only way you'll actually learn and improve. write whatever you want however you want. just. write. there's nothing stopping you. (like literally motivation is my worst problem for writing lol)

OH AND don't be afraid to shamelessly self reblog we're all about that on this dumb website

(and tag correctly and as many as you want so that more people will find your stuff 👀)

whatever it is I'm sure it'll be great!!! you don't have to take my super nitpicky grammar advice. just do it !!! (and if you want i think i have some other writing advice reblogs under #writing ref. those posts are better than mine lmaooo)

#poppy speaks #ask #jssbjw i feel like some of my bullet points were so nitpicky #im sorry ishdjwwkkww
