#but i was hella flustered you came to me for tips hdksksks

[aiiwa]

hi! I love ur blog so far and ur writing makes me feel rlly happy everytime I read it! i was just wondering if u had any tips for starting and making ur imagine blog get more exposure? and also if u have any tips for writing characters and how to write scenarios that would match up with their personalities? ty!

ahhh this is the sweetest thing ever, thank you bby, i’m happy you like my work hehe 😚💖. but okay some tips that i can think of:

the most important thing about writing is that you firstly WRITE FOR YOURSELF. like your work always has to be a bit self-indulgent, and it always feels better when you write about something you really like and enjoy!!

like my first post was iwa boyfriend texts, and that was a time where i was really into smau’s. it’s also important to write about characters your passionate about and comfortable with? i really enjoy writing the dynamic between seijoh four and the reader, and i think (hope) that shows in my writing.

in terms of getting more exposure, a small part is how you tag your work - a lot of people tag “character x reader” first whereas i prefer to do a general tag like “haikyuu fluff” first and then character tags. idk personal preference i suppose.

but a bigger part of exposure is interactions. i’m talking about reblogging other writers works, go crazy in their tags ya know, and just don’t be afraid to reach out to them. there’s a lot of writers out there who love to support upcoming blogs!

hmm with writing characters, i usually base my depictions of them on how they are in the series, and then my own opinions of them and mix it with the way other writers portray that certain character.

as long as your not full on copying the writer (it’s okay to be inspired by others). you should just be trying to get a feel for the character. i don’t think my character depictions are perfect and tbh they’re probably a bit ooc but it works more for me, so don’t be scared to add your own touch to them.

omg scenarios!! with some characters it’s so easy to place them in certain scenarios that play in my mind; and with others i really do struggle a bit.

mmm for example i really struggle with writing about the karasuno third years, and i think a big part is because as much as i do love them, i don’t vibe with their personalities or dynamic. and so it all comes back to writing for yourself and for characters that you love. ofc if you take requests then it’s nice for your readers to give you a push in the right direction ya know.

and with writing iwa for example, i know a lot of writers see him as this big over protective guy, which i love reading about, but i just can’t write about personally. and that’s okay to have a different opinion on a character.

also it always helps to bounce ideas back and forth with your friends, or other writers or your readers too!!

i’m sorry for rambling shdkkdkd but if you ever wanna talk more anon bby, you can dm me anytime 💖
