Writers' Resolutions

A bunch of resolutions for writers and people who want to try writing this year. It's in no way something you must do, these are just ideas how you can set out to improve your writing in the new year.

Try something new

Try to write something you have never written before.

Write something silly, write something serious, write in a different genre, try to write characters that you haven't explored yet.

Write consistently

Writing consistently will not only give you exercise to become a better writer, it can also keep your voice as a writer consistent.

If you have a first draft, write it down quickly and without big breaks inbetween.

Don't wait for inspiration

Waiting for inspiration to come can take forever. So don't wait for inspiration: search for it.

Make writing into a habit that comes natural to you every day, look up writing prompts, read a book you like, get yourself into the mood to write and do it!

Do your research

As a writer, you need to know about a lot of different things.

You can do research by reading books, listening to podcasts, watching movies, talking to other people, etc.

Take this year to learn something new and then tell your reader all about it.

Edit that draft

We all have that one story we wrote a while ago and then stopped at the first draft.

Take it and reread it and then rewrite it. You have a new perspective on it now and maybe this will be the year you turn your idea into a book.

Set yourself a goal

This explicitly doesn't have to be a goal about how many words or pages you write.

Your goal can be to finish something, to edit something, to write a few sentences every day, to share more of your writing or to publish something.

Don't compare

Try not to compare your writing with that of someone else.

Writing is about finding your own voice and telling a story that only you can tell. Also: other people's accomplishes don't diminish your own!

Write!

Whatever the outcome of your writing may be and whatever you want to do with it, if you want to publish it, if you want to share it with friends, or if you want to keep it to yourself: just start writing!

Do what you love to do.

To all my lovely writers, I wish you a great year, may everything work out in your favour!

Klaus and Caroline in “My Brother’s Keeper” — "And, above all, I promise to aspire, inspire, and perspire." Obviously, we found a shortage of words ending in "spire." Yeah. It's very funny. It's hilarious. Just…

Are we really going to do this again? We both know I could rip you to shreds and do my nails at the same time.

Idk what you asked that blog that made them blow up like that but I'm pretty sure you did not deserve that aggressive wall of rudeness that they sent responded to your next ask with

Hi anon,

That is sweet. Thanks for this message. Essentially, I inquired about why they were listening to a podcast that they didn’t seem to get anything positive out of (their comments on the podcast are critical or negative 98.9% of the time?). They apparently felt that responding with "an aggressive wall of rudeness" was appropriate.

The fact is that person doesn’t know me. I don’t know them, so I didn’t take anything in that reply personally, but it’s shocking to me just how disrespectful people on the Internet can be. It low key makes me wonder how far they can take this rudeness and agression in real life… and it is a scary thought.

It’s about these two lost souls, these two dead souls, one human and one a vampire, who are together, their love for each other brings them back to life.

Dear diary, I am not a believer. People are born, they grow old, and then they die. That’s the world we live in. There’s no magic, no mysticism, no immortality. There is nothing that defies rational thought. People are supposed to be who they say they are, and not lie or hide their true selves. It’s not possible. I’m not a believer. I can’t be. But how can I deny what’s right in front of me? Someone who never gets old, never gets hurt. Someone who changes in ways that can’t be explained.
