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!

Staying Motivated As a Writer

AKA things to do when you want to write but don't feel like writing

reread your old writing

write something silly (throw logic out the window!)

choose an old story, or your least favorite scenes, and rewrite it

read old comments from people praising your work

create a playlist for your story

create a playlist for your characters

create a playlist for a friend's project

don't push yourself to write, take a break and refuel

write what you want to write, no matter how cliché, if you want to write it, write it. you don't need anyone's permission but your own

take a break, focus on another hobby of yours

consume other types of media

team up with a friend and write AUs for each other's stories

take a walk to clear your head

you don’t always have to write in chronological order if it isn’t working for you (certain scenes you find boring to write can become more interesting after you’ve explored other parts of the story)

start a completely new story

write a love letter to one of your characters

write a letter of appreciation for yourself as a writer (or to another writer you admire)

write a love letter to a friend's character

write a hate letter to a character of yours that you despise (not badly written characters. characters who deserve a bit of scolding in response to their actions)

you are not a bad writer for not writing every day. take a few days off if necessary

remind yourself to have fun. just start writing, don’t focus all your attention on following every rule, the nitty-gritty can come into play when you're more familiarized with writing as an art

step away from the computer and press play on a writing playlist and brainstorm ideas while walking around or doing chores

remember why you started! you deserve to tell the story you want to tell regardless of the skill you possess

fav wlw plots? ❤️‍🩹

This is very broad, so I'm just giving story ideas I would love to read.

WLW Plot Ideas

her parents never liked any of her boyfriends, so to annoy them she gets her friend to pretend to be her new girlfriend and plot twist: her parents love her

a secret agent that often gets assigned to flirt with bad guys, gets the assignment to get close to their latest target: a lesbian hacker

the popular girl in school is expected to like the jock. but the athlete she really is into is the cute girl from the wrestling team

her friends arrange a blind date for her and she gets highly confused when it's another woman showing up, because a) she thought it was a male name and b) she never actually came out to her friends or anyone at all

they are both bridesmaids for their friend's wedding, but have never met and are now seeing each other all the time for dress shopping, bridal shower, the weekend long bachelorette party and of course the destination wedding

it's no secret that the princess is close to her chamber maid, but no one knows exactly how close (prompts)

they are both in historic positions: one is a queen who rules without ever marrying a man and the other one is her sworn shield, a woman who is the mightiest knight in all the land

Hope you like these ideas and 🌈 happy pride month to everyone! 🌈

I knew having Redditors cross-train on Tumblr would produce weird fucking magic.
