What's Your Best Advice For Writing?

what's your best advice for writing?

...is--is someone coming to me for writing advice? I--*tears up a little*.

1. Keep writing. You've probably heard this before but it's so important. You'll get better the more you practice. Don't be afraid to take breaks but if you find yourself itching to write, do it! Write through the writer's block even if complete crap. No one but you will ever have to see it. This is kinda leads into...

2. Try out different styles. Most writer's don't just write poetry, or stories, or reports, or journals, but it's important to try out different genres I guess. Especially if you feel stuck in one area, take a step back and work on something else.

3. Most importantly READ. I cannot stress this enough. Reading is how so many writer's find what they enjoy and what they don't. Pushing boundries and trying new things is always great but figuring out what's expected and respected in the community is also important. Get inspired by others!

Blood Letting

*Cutting Trigger Warning*

I practice the ancient art of bloodletting I create an incision on my body and let my tainted blood run free in an attempt to cleanse myself of some unidentifiable disease, sickness, illness But I cannot outrun it Cannot seem to drain this contaminated blood before more unholy red liquid is pumped out and running rampant in my veins again I try and explain this to my doctor of modern medicine and she tells me that this is a dated, useless tactic That this is too dangerous a way to try and heal But is this not the point To watch the incisions heal and pretend like I too am healing When she asks me why I do it all I can think is 'red' Maybe I am addicted to the red Ozzing and dripping and flowing more freely than I ever could Red is the colour of love you know Maybe I am proving to myself that there is still love inside of me Maybe I am bleeding all over myself in an attempt to pretend I am loving myself Do you see? I am covered in it She asks me what I get out of it Beside red? Besides pain? Besides release? I suppose I receive the marks It is then that I realize that my favourite thing about my scars is that they are mine That they belong to me That they are the one thing that always will

Adding to my last ask. Do you have any tumblr writers you'd recommend?

There are so many under-appreciated writers on this platform but they are all so talented and it would be impossible to justly give credit to all of them. If you look up ‘poertry’ tags or ‘short poems’ or ‘slam poem’ or ‘poets on tumblr’ you’ll get so many great pieces and blogs to follow. As for fan fictions and short stories, their are plenty if you look up their tags. Also @writerscreed is a great platform to see a variety of pieces and people. 

The funny thing about two artists being in love is that sometimes they both agree to look away from the fact that maybe they were both just in it for the inspiration.
