Reading Back On Your Old Unfinished Writing And Trying To Figure Out Where You Were Going With It

Reading back on your old unfinished writing and trying to figure out where you were going with it

I love when you’re writing and the characters say something that you realize is PERFECT foreshadowing for what’s about to happen, or the perfect callback or tie-in to something that’s alrEADY happened, it’s the most satisfying thing ever, and to be perfectly honest, as a writer you really aren’t in control of anything, stories are either so stubborn that they glue themselves to the inside of your brain and won’t come out or they’re so desperate to be told that your characters start doing the work for you. 

Say it with me

YOUR STORY ISN’T STUPID

YOUR STORY IS GOOD

YOUR STORY MIGHT NEED REVISIONS

BUT NOT RIGHT NOW

KEEP GOING

“what are you reading?”

“its a…online book.”

How do you protect yourself from being stalked online by your parents?

I often get messages from teens living with their abusive parents telling me about how terrifying it is for them to even look at my blog in case their parent finds out. I was a teenager before social networking on the internet. Honestly, when I was a teenager there was barely an internet yet. So, I don’t know how people protect themselves but I feel like probably there are ways. If you know please do share! A lot of people would find it helpful.

When someone disagrees with you online and demands you prove your point to their satisfaction by writing a complete and logically sound defense including citations, you can save a lot of time by not doing that.

Bro, I’ve known you for twelve seconds and enjoyed none of them, I’m not taking homework assignments from you.
