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.

D'ya ever get the feeling of being sooo physically tired, that when you go to bed you dont know if you should straighten or bend/fold/curl your legs cause no matter what you do its both sore in those positions, and cause you've both sat and stoof for a long time so like the best option at this point is to become lizard-like and detach your limb. Or maybe it's become starfish-like? YEAH SMTH LIKE THAT.
