Tips For Creative Writers:

Tips for creative writers:

1. Read widely: Read books, articles, and poetry across different genres and styles. This exposure to diverse writing will expand your vocabulary, inspire new ideas, and help you develop your own unique voice.

2. Write regularly: Establish a writing routine and stick to it. Set aside dedicated time each day or week to write, even if it's just for a short period. Regular practice is key to honing your skills and maintaining creative momentum.

3. Embrace creativity exercises: Engage in writing exercises or prompts to stimulate your imagination. Explore free writing, brainstorming, or visual prompts to spark new ideas and challenge your creative boundaries.

4. Edit and revise: Don't be afraid to revise your work. Editing is a crucial part of the writing process, allowing you to refine your ideas, improve clarity, and enhance the overall quality of your writing. Embrace feedback and be open to making changes.

5. Develop unique characters: Create well-rounded and believable characters by giving them depth, flaws, and distinctive voices. Explore their motivations, desires, and conflicts to make them relatable and engaging for readers.

6. Show, don't tell: Instead of telling readers what is happening or how characters feel, strive to show it through vivid descriptions, sensory details, and compelling dialogue. Engage the readers' senses and immerse them in your storytelling.

7. Pay attention to pacing: Balance the pace of your writing to maintain reader engagement. Mix moments of tension and action with quieter, reflective scenes. Vary sentence length and structure to create rhythm and keep the narrative flowing.

8. Create compelling dialogue: Craft dialogue that is realistic, purposeful, and reveals character traits. Use dialogue to advance the plot, reveal conflicts, and deepen relationships between characters.

9. Embrace constructive feedback: Seek feedback from trusted peers, writing groups, or mentors. Constructive criticism can help you identify blind spots, refine your writing, and grow as a writer.

10. Stay inspired and curious: Maintain a sense of curiosity about the world around you. Seek inspiration from art, music, nature, and everyday experiences. Keep a journal to capture ideas, observations, and inspiration that may fuel your writing.

Happy writing!

"I am undone without you."

I finally read the book.

I take commissions and ready to draw art of your favorite character (the locked tomb, tv series, games, manga, anime series, etc). I also could draw your own OC.

If anyone are interested please send me a DM.

Sundry Sunday

I'm beginning to realize how many of these Sundry Sunday posts are just me chatting about vocab words that I looked up because they're a little unfamiliar, even when the make sense in context.

What is an ague?

An acute or high fever, or a disease characterized by one, especially when its reoccuring. (Thanks OED) Think malaria, apparently.

Oupires

Just a reminder that you can basically read this as "vampire". Oupire is more of a Slavic-folklore specific term, and is the origin of the english word vampire. Also, upior is the term to search if you'd like to do some reading. Some of the remedies have proved especially interesting to me. If you can read Polish, there's also a book titled Upiór that is supposedly a very good work on the subject. Unfortunately, I do not know a bit of Polish and cannot find it in any language I have any degree of confidence in.
