Start With Broad Subjects

When you begin a story that is heavy with technical detail that must be checked for accuracy, the most efficient way of going about it is approaching the first draft with a general sense of the topic. Then, as you write more and more, keep note of details you don’t have or facts you need to find. When you reach the second and third drafts, turn that general idea into specific detail. You’ll know what you need to know at that point, and you won’t waste valuable time doing unnecessary research instead of revising.

Keep Track of Your Resources

Hoard. Your. Sources. Not only so you can cite them to any editors or beta-readers whose knowledge may conflict with what you’ve researched, but so you can refer back to them if you decide to elaborate on the part of the story that required that information in the first place. Always keep a list of links in a document with the specific information you’ve gleaned from it, listed in a way where you can easily navigate and revisit sources and information.

i did words

how do words

Threaten your imagination into compliance and slap them hands onto your keyboard, or get ready to stab paper repeatedly with the pointy ink stick.

Scream angrily into the void for at least thirty minutes.

Wait for void to scream back.

Write down whatever returns, trapping those motherfuckers on your page. Spend at least an hour deciphering and beating them with a stick until they fall somewhat in line, then bask in the fact that you now have words on a page, which is considerably more than you had before.

Results may vary, but there’s always tomorrow.

this may or may not be a fantasy writing exercise for me. please reblog

I’ve posted a total of 9 times, mostly writing-related, and i’ve never talked about my writing or shared my writing because i’m too nervous. anyway, so, yeah.

​reblog if you’re a writing blog, i want to follow and make friends with other writers!

Thank you for the tag @radiowrites! This was really cool!

For my first chapter, I got Anne Rice, for the part I’m working on now, I got Agatha Christie, and for an older draft of the piece I’m working on now, I got Agatha Christie again. I’ve never read any of their books so it looks like I kinda have to now.
