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.

btw for people worried about that post where someone claims that tumblr is cutting staff so it will only be run by a “skeleton crew”:
1) the post is over a month old, and
2) op has since “clarified” that the note to staff doesn’t actually say that the staff running tumblr’s functionality has been or will been reduced at all, and is just their conjecture:
as usual you should keep copies of anything you want to keep from tumblr in case it ever goes down, but there doesn’t actually seem to be any reason to think the site is about to go under
Ah yes mingjue and the boys™
It’s the squad!
