i have such a love/hate relationship with writing forums like on one hand they can be extremely helpful to people but i always end up feeling that on the other hand 85% of questions asked would be better served by just...picking up a book and reading it.

"How do i do *insert craft question here*". Hmmm maybe see how your favorite authors are doing it. maybe see how popular authors are doing it, maybe see how "bad" writing does it, maybe see how "good" writing does it. maybe you need to read.

#writeblr #writers on tumblr #idk i feel like half these kids don't want to pick up a book they just want to be self published or have their own tv show lmao #like read. you have to READ. to learn to be inspired to grow #theres no way around it #but it's not a burden on most successful writers to do this bc shocker we genuinely like to read narrative works #or even....non narrative works #how many times (its every time) i'm reading a book i love and i come across beautifully executed writing and my brain just goes:#'jot that down jot that down!'#got to be one of my favorite parts #but sadly also 52% of us adults can't read higher than a sixth grade level and i do think this affects a LOT
