Finding beta readers for a novel is so scary. Like hi, here, please read this thing I’ve been working on for 10 years. It contains thousands of little pieces of me. I want you to tear it apart so I can put it back together even stronger. It has dragons.

[livvywrites]

Writer fact game: i started writing Exodus Down (a scifi story) after watching markiplier's play through of Subnautica. (Watching the game go from beta to full release and watching how things changed but everything was still loved is what finally broke me out of being too scared i wouldnt do something good)

That reminds me of Naomi Novik giving an interview that essentially said you become good at what you practice. I'm really good at conceptualizing and starting novels, but unless I let myself suck at endings none of them will ever be truly finished.

The end result, of course, is all of my writer friends saying it doesn't suck at all so take from that what you will.

I know a lot of people are doing Valentine's exchanges, so I thought I could do another one of these writing challenge templates to help you get through it!

This is a 27-day challenge that will amount to 8k words in the end!

It's Valentine's themed just because of the upcoming steddie exchanges, but you're free to use it for whatever you want!

It's honestly just a way to break down a big writing goal into smaller ones so it doesn't feel too overwhelming.

Hey! Hello! (Notion writing template update!!) <3

I've updated the plotting tools of this template. It consists of two parts now:

Chapter outline

and scene cards

These are interlinked! So you can start plotting from either one :)

If you prefer to look at the big picture first, start with the chapters. I’d suggest you write out one main thing that happens in each of your chapters, then start breaking the main idea into scenes. When you add a scene to the chapter outline, it will automatically appear in the scenes database as well.

If you have many vivid scene ideas, start with the scene cards. Write each scene you have in mind on a separate note card, then start sorting them under chapters — it's like moving sticky notes around!

You can check it out here!

It's fucking

here

Do you like tracking your words (or hours spent writing)? Do you like seeing statistics about your writing trends and habits? Do you like doing these things offline and/or for free, on something you can customise and fine-tune to your heart's content?

If so, then you may like this. A spreadsheet workbook that's compatible with Excel, Google Sheets and Calc (and possibly more, but I've only tested it in those three). Set it up (with the help of a very detailed instruction manual, if you need it) and then all you need to do is type your words written/hours spent and watch everything else evolve across the year. You can do a bunch of stuff with it, including:

Track your writing progress

Set, track and manage project goals & watch line go up a la NaNoWriMo

Separate writing into and compare by different project "types" (e.g., fanfic or original writing)

See different statistics about your writing habits, like:

Daily hours/words spent across the year

Daily and monthly averages

Top project and top month

Daily streaks, usual streak length and longest streak

See the linked blog post for a full "tour" + download links.

i love you all. merry crisis and happy writing <3

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

While lethal injuries often take center stage, non-lethal injuries can create lasting effects on characters, shaping their journeys in unique ways. If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain during a scene, here are some ideas: 

Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility, forcing characters to adapt their plans and experience frustration as they navigate their environment.

Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult and create tension, especially during action scenes, where every breath becomes a reminder of vulnerability.

Concussion

This brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment and creating a sense of unpredictability in their actions.

Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills, causing frustration and emphasizing a character’s dependence on their hands.

Road Rash

The raw, painful skin resulting from a fall can symbolize struggle and endurance, highlighting a character's resilience in the face of physical hardship.

Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation.

Deep Laceration

A cut that requires stitches can evoke visceral imagery and tension, especially if the character has to navigate their surroundings while in pain.

Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma, serving as a physical reminder of a character’s past mistakes or battles.

Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, providing an opportunity for characters to experience frustration or the need to lean on others for support.

Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted, highlighting their struggle to adapt and overcome.
