RANDOM WRITING TIP (from a writer who just got done actually WRITING, that’s how you know it’s good :D)

NEVER leave off writing at the end of something.

what I mean by that is if you finish a chapter, don’t stop there!! write at least a couple sentences of the next chapter, and then next time you write, it won’t be so hard to start and you’ll be starting off with stuff already there!!

also don’t stop at a scene that you’re having a hard time figuring out what to write next, or where you’re getting bored, or anything similar!! write past that, that way future you (especially if future you has executive dysfunction or is neurodivergent!!) won’t see that unnecessarily hard scene that they have to do and get discouraged!!

happy writing!!!

(also I’m gonna start putting a little disclaimer at the ends of these writing advice posts—quick disclaimer for my authors with OCD!! all writing advice is purely optional and meant to HELP YOU, and if something doesn’t click, don’t feel obligated to use it!! you know your story and writing style best!!)
