Let's Learn Some Stuff!

As established, I'm a writer--and one thing a lot of people like to ask writers is, you know, "How do you write?"

I don't know about my peers, but I personally never felt like I had a choice. It's something that's in my blood, my bones, my brain: I just love telling stories, and I love weaving words into everything from prose to theatre to essays.

This page is a selection of advice and tools on a number of topics, some from me and some from others.

A Rapidfire General Writing Tips List

Exactly what it says on the tin! Probably most of which you've heard before, but I digress. Sources include Creative Writing classes, mentorships, and stuff I bookmarked back in my Tumblr days. This'll be continuously updated as I comb through more of my old notes.

• Read more. I know, most obvious tip there is, but read more.
• Seek feedback, and be open to it. Also, if possible, look into NON-EVALUATIVE feedback. Much more useful, in my opinion.
• Try to write at least a little bit every day. For me, I try to get 100-200 words done... but with daily minimum requirements like that, I often find myself writing WAY more.
• Know the rules of your genre/medium before you break them.
• Fear of failure kills the capacity to play.
• Your values and voice will become clearer the more you work.

Nifty Websites

These also vary in source, but a lot of them I've been using since I was a kid. :)
