idk if you are still doing the writing asks but if so, 3 & 28? 👀

YES i am!! ty

3: How would you describe your writing style?

ngl i am going to actually steal this from you and say my writing style is "vibes". like it's a vibesy style. idk how else to describe it. also have been described as "portentous" in a complimentary way which i think i agree with as well. I definitely lean more into like a self indulgent melodramatic ambiance mostly bc i think it is fun

28: Any writing advice that works for you and you feel like sharing?

kill your darlings but save them in a jar....... i have a 15k and always growing document that is just pieces i removed from other fics. i think it allows me to be aggressive with my editing in service of the end result while also being able to pull from it whenever either back into the document or into a different fic where it works better. also i like it bc it is like a record of what i did

when I am doing my final editing passes, I 1) change the font of the whole document and 2) as I edit paragraphs or if there are parts I feel unsure about, I change the text color. Then, as I am editing further, I get the satisfaction of marking a section as "done" by changing the text color back to black and also I don't have to scroll looking for what I marked as needing a fix, I just go right to the red parts

sometimes.... not writing..... is what allows me to write. see: the week before last I wrote maybe 10k+ in a week. the week before that I didn't write at all, and this last week i wrote.... <200? idk sometimes u just have to roll w it and not beat yourself up like i KNOW i can only write when I feel a little bit possessed so when I'm not it's like, why fight it i am here to have fun. if i'm not having fun then i am going to go do something else and not feel bad about it bc the google doc will be there when i come back. like sometimes i do feel bad abt it but this is the mentality i try to have

similar to above if something you write seems really bad put it away for a week or a month. i have done this so many times and sometimes it actually is really bad but most of the time i'm like "HUH ok. past me was really onto something with this"

send me writing asks!
