Writing Advice From My Uni Teachers:

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.

writing is simple. i put my characters into a situation that i, the author, cannot figure out how to get them out of and i close the document

my fave angel concepts:

angels smoking on a street corner bc they kno it won’t hurt them

angels crying

their wings only being visible when they’re angry or experiencing strong emotion

u can feel the buzz in the air when ur around an angel, like ur in a thunderstorm

an angel wearing their halo on their wrist and disguising it next to like 5 glow stick bracelets

they can all sing beautifully and hauntingly

angels being able to play any musical instrument n just generally having a deep connection with music

if ur asleep around an angel u always have vivid dreams
