Writing Tips For You (as if I don’t currently have insane writer’s block)

-Can’t start a scene? Write the setting instead. What is the lighting like? Is this place comfortable? Is it familiar or not? What should you point out now so it doesn’t suddenly appear when it becomes important for the characters? SET! YOUR! STAGE!

-Everyone says “show, don’t tell”. I like to think of that as “what are your character’s physical reactions? What are they feeling?” You can say “Character looked dismayed”, or you can say “Character grimaced with dismay.” See the difference?

-Struggling with dialogue? Talk to yourself while you’re writing. You might be blocking yourself if you subconsciously think some dialogue feels unnatural.

-Context, context, context! This applies to everything from the small interactions to the big plots. Every force has an equal and opposite reaction, allow interactions and events to grow as such.

-Context, context, context pt 2! But worldbuilding! If your character is performing an act, how does that fit into the physical reality they already exist in? How is it possible? Can you imply (imply, not explain) that these things are commonplace or why they wouldn’t be?

-Build the action. (Stealing this from theater class like twelve years ago.) You can’t just put a character into the scene and say ‘they made a sandwhich’. What has to happen for the sandwhich to be made? Your character has to walk into the kitchen, open the cupboard, get out a plate, get out the jam and peanut butter, get out a plate, get out the knives, open the fridge, get out the bread, close the fridge, open the bread bag, lay down two slices of bread on the plate, close the bag, open the first jar, pick up the first knife, scoop up the jam, slather it on the bread, put the knife down, close the first jar- and so on and so forth. Every small step is necessary for you to understand, and to engage your readers. You don’t have to go into ridiculous detail like I just did, but even understanding that for yourself.

-See above, but it’s not a scene and a sandwhich. The scene is your whole story and the sandwhich is your plot. What small steps MUST happen to reach the climax? Does changing one of those small steps change the result? How?

-Emotions are best portrayed when you have experienced them or can get insight from those who have experienced them. Let yourself get emotional in a scene. Allow yourself to be empathetic and vicariously experience what your characters are.

-Reread your own work! Your writing style and characterizations can change over time, but if you feel like you’re losing them, don’t be afraid to look at where you started to ground yourself!

-Proofread your own work 2-12 hours after you finish a section! Not while you’re writing! Don’t let yourself get carried away with writing things ‘right’, just get the ideas out.

-Have a friend or volunteer proofread for you too! This can help pick out things you repeatedly say, words you might misuse, grammar and punctuation that might need correction, and phrases that are hard to digest or don’t make sense.

-Make sure you’re making an effort to use regionally/era specific words and slang both in dialogue and in your writing. There are plenty of websites and videos online that list and discuss regional and era slang worldwide. Not to mention, we can connect with people all over the world using the web just to ask! Using incorrect phrases can really break immersion and make characters feel- well, out of character! I.E. an 80s jock saying ‘dope bruh’, American characters (generally) saying ‘lift’ instead of ‘elevator’, so on and so forth.

-Research research research! Research bloodloss limits, research how laws and jobs operate in different regions and countries, research weirdly specific myths and biblical themes, research as much as you can! You can only build a richer environment to write in!

-If you actively want to implement themes, allow them to reflect the experiences of your character. Example character is an Italian American who was orphaned at 13 after his orthodox Catholic parents died, he has been in and out of foster care his whole life, and the moment he got out his military job became strict and he allowed himself to be blackmailed to protect a child in a similar position. This has plenty of fun themes and symbolisms, like sacrifice, fate, lack of control, love, losing autonomy, etc, all of which can be framed under the impactful history of his Catholic childhood. This evokes the imagery of farm animals, servitude, animal tags/dog tags, holy spaces being used for other purposes. Play with it!

-Build three base playlists! One for your overarching story, one for songs that remind you of the main character and their story arc, and one for how you feel when you’re writing/songs that weirdly remind you of your story. You can cycle through these to help get into your mood.

-Consume other media! If all you do is focus on writing, you WILL lose steam and inspiration. Don’t be afraid to watch new shows, read new books, look at more artwork, read more poems, listen to more music. You might get a flicker of inspiration for themes, motives and ideas, and you’ll continue to fill yourself instead of dumping your focus out on your writing.

-Understand how each major character thinks and instinctively reacts to things. Some characters can stay calm, but others might instinctively react to things ‘angrily’, others might try to run away. This is an easy way to figure out character flaws and impliment easy conflicts.

And last but not least:

-Take breaks! Don’t worry about forcing yourself to keep a posting schedule (unless you’re being paid. I’m not. I’m doing this shit for free and for funsies) if all you do is spend all your time worrying about your writing, you won’t be able to relax your brain. Spend time with friends, play games, go outside!

I hope this helps!

Not to project or anything, but I think Nami would have a hard time actually realizing she's a lesbian because she actually has never trusted anybody enough to fall for them, and she uses flirting techniques to steal and get what she wants but she doesn't actually feel anything for these people. And she can admit that flirting with girls feels better and it doesn't make her want to puke, but perhaps it's just the fact that men fucking suck. It's not like she is going to ever fall in love, so it doesn't matter. Little flirting here and there to get the money she needs and all. But then Luffy happens. Arlong Park happens. And she's free and she has time to think about herself. She still flirts with men to get what she wants, but Sanji is more like a Golder Retriever and one of her best friends, so it doesn't even count. And then she meets Vivi.

And Vivi is a whole other world. She's a princess. She's mature. She has so much responsibility that it could crush Nami if that weight were to be put on her shoulders, so she considers Vivi to be the strongest girl she has ever met. She's also fun to be around. Extremely sweet and empathetic and it's one of the first times somebody shows so much empathy and compassion for her, sacrificing her goal to save Nami's life because she's sick. Falling for Vivi is extremely easy, but she's scared to do so because she has never actually trusted someone this much before and she has never opened up to a girl enough for her to be able to break her heart. But she knows she likes Vivi. More than she has liked other girls, yes, but they all made her feel this way. Vivi is just the one in between all of them. And it's not like flirting with men at all. Men are a tool she can use. Vivi is her whole dream.

Vivi breaks her heart by staying in Arabasta, but it's not her fault she has bigger things to take care of than them. They'll see each other again someday. And Nami now has the realization about liking girls but loving Vivi. And I think that's something beautiful to think about.

My favourite thing about Cardan going to Vivi's house in the mortal world to find Jude when Madoc takes her OR about his sent letters is that the man knew where to find her all those months of exile. I know this is a given but I keep forgetting because if he knew why didn't he just go get her instead of sending her letters. He was respecting her space, he truly thought she wanted nothing to do with him. It absolutely kills me how hurt he was and still managed to respect what he thought were her wishes. I love him.

Zach: I don’t want you to leave… Brynn: Awh, but I have to. Zach: Can I come with you? Brynn: I not think your mommy would be pleased if I stole you. Zach: She probably wouldn’t even notice. Brynn: Will you write to me in email-.. practice your spellings?

Zach: I guess. Brynn: It’ll help me practice mine too. Zach: Okay. Brynn: Maybe when you’re big enough you can come visit. Zach: Really? Brynn: Sure!

Brynn: Thank you for being so generous. Vivienne: Ah, don’t mention it. Brynn: I pay you back one day. Vivienne: Nah, don’t worry-… Brynn: No, I find a way! Vivienne: [chuckles] Okay, okay!
