The Way To Write Something Good Is To Keep Working On It! Im Not Trying To Be Overly Positive Or Sound

The way to write something good is to keep working on it! I’m not trying to be overly positive or sound like a teacher—I learned this from experience. The more I work on my WIP, the more I learn about the world and intricacies of the characters. Seriously. I invented this idea and am still constantly learning new things about it several years later. I also learned to improve my writing style by trial and error. I know it’s hard, but at least for me, once I got past the initial “I don’t want to do this” vibe a few chapters in, I couldn’t stop.

Please keep working on the stories you started. I promise they will be good.

I feel like I start so many WIPs because each one sucks and I want to write something good, you know?

Started watching Soul Eater yesterday. I didn’t have a full design for Daron’s younger brother before watching, but now he is Death the Kid.

I was running out of black and white hairdos for the Spiritwalkers and I’m kinda obsessed with this look now.

I don’t believe in the “rules of writing”. if anyone ever tells you you’re doing something “wrong” when it comes to writing, they’re being stupid. like it’s written language. there is no right way or wrong way. if a book “sounds stupid” i think that’s a good thing. maybe it’ll sound stupid, but maybe it’ll be unique. who cares.

Thanks for tagging me @inseasofgreen! This conversation is everything to me. I’m excited to share it!

So many words swarmed inside me. So many apologies, admissions, feelings. More than I ever felt before, all fighting their way to be the first to escape. As I stared at the unsightly blue streaks permanently marring my hand, somehow the words that pushed their way out were, “I am not perfect.”

Catalina tilted her head up, meeting my eyes with her soft ones. “No one is. That’s why we’re witches, not goddesses.”

She stayed silent for a second, thinking. “I actually think they were not perfect either. If they were, they would have kept their power instead of giving it to us.”

“I need to be perfect. When I am not, things like this…”

“It’s not your fault.”

I swallowed a lump in my throat. “She was my attendant. She took care of me, but I was still responsible for her. I am responsible for my whole clan.”

“You are not responsible for the decisions other people make. You didn’t even know about Maya’s decisions, so how could you be? We cannot be perfect, Daron. We can only be better.”

Gently tagging @the-golden-comet @alinacapellabooks

Helping teach kids writing has actually improved my writing. Now every time I have writer’s block I ask myself what sensory details I can use.
