How to improve your writing style : a 5-steps guide.
Intro : I love the 5-steps format, don’t mind me. Again, this essay is based on my personal experience.
Read in different genres. Ok, I know you’ve probably heard this advice more than you can count but did you ask yourself why it is so important ? You probably wonder ‘‘How reading some historical fiction will help me writing my sci-fi novel ?’’ For that simple reason my friend : they meet different purposes. You don’t know how to describe a castle ? It’s okay, historical fiction got your back. Because it aims at something more realistic and accurate, it would tend to be more specific and detailed when it comes to describing clothes, furniture, places and so on. Why ? Because, most of the time, THEY ACTUALLY EXISTED. Take a closer look at how it is done and draw your inspiration from it (but please avoid plagiarism it’s bad - and illegal)
Take notes and CLASSIFY them. To make reading somehow useful, you have to actually make it concious, which means you have to write things down to remember them. When I come across a description I like, I tend to takes notes of the figures of speech that are used and class them, so when I have to write a similar scene, I have an idea of what have been already used, and weither or not it achieved its goal. I am NOT talking about COPY another author’s style !!!! It’s about finding inspiration and new approaches. I also tend to take notes of the new words I wish to incoporate into my writing. The thesaurus is my new bestie.
Rewrite the same scene from different POVs. First of all, it’s fun. And it’s a really good way to spot quirky formulations. For instance, if you describe a ship, the captain’s POV should be different from that of a simple observer. The first one would be naming each part princisely whereas the other would only be admiring the surface without knowing anything. If the caption is the same for both POVs, maybe you should consider write your passage again (or have a good reason, like a strong amateurism for the mere observer). It’s go hand in hand with coherence - but it would be an essay for another time (maybe).
Read your text aloud. I put major emphasis on that one because it’s as underated as reading books for various genres. You have no idea how much we DON’T speak the way we write. Even dialogues are crafted in our stories - so make sure to give them proper attention. (i even read my email aloud but-). I KNOW how cringey it might be as I am doing it MYSELF but the benefits are worth the 35-minutes shame I endure from my own mess. Before you can shine, you have to polish (shout out to the one who said that first if it’s not me).
Take a step back. I strongly advice you to let some time pass before reading your text again and profreading it. It will cast a new light upon your work and with fresh eyes you’d be more likely able to spot what needs to be erased or rephrased.
That’s all for me today. Since I would be entering my proofreading phase for my writing contest, the next essay would probably about proofreading (with examples from my own novel ?). Unless someone wants me to write on a specific subject first.
Gentle reminder that I’m still French and not a native so please forgive my dubious grammar and outrageous mispellings.

I have officially run out of Loop sprites to translate into Loopfrins, so if you see any on here and after this point that are different than the Loop expressions, know that I'm either making my own or using Sif's party's expressions as a guide.
Also, I saw you, person who asked for Mal du Pays sprite edits. I see you. You can have two for now because I want to ease into it a bit (and figure out how they would emote).
(and also once again, if you guys have any suggestions, i am Looking at all times. your suggestion could be translated to a real sprite 🫵)
#In Stars and Time#ISAT#ISAT Spoilers#ISAT Siffrin#ISAT Loop#ISAT MDP#Mal du Pays#sprite edits#digital art#artists on tumblr#fan art#the creativity process#id in alt#also i kept mdp's undercut as black since i'm going off the wiki sprites (not the one where mdp grabs sif)#its also better focused on mdp's face compared to when i did fill it with white#also yes i drew the pose for mdp so i can add my style to it (read: big ass sif hair floof)

5 tips for proofreading & their pros and cons
Define your objectives for each chapter. In my case, some of my chapters are better written than others. My objectives for them will differ. Before starting my proofreading, I list my needs and areas of improvements, and I write them down somewhere so I have them in front of me rather than in my head alone.
Pros : allows you to know which points you need to focus on ; provides a guideline adapted to your needs.
Cons : risk of losing homogeneity and fluidity + flaws may be shifted to other chapters that didn't have them before due to a sudden imbalance.
Plan several proofreading sessions, each one of them addressing ONE NEED AT A TIME. (E.g., one for grammar, another for style, and a final one for coherence. ) And I insist on the "one need at a time" part. Even for those who can multitask (unlike me), I really don't recommend settling for a single proofreading session. It could interfere with your concentration and let you skip some flaws. And please, always give your chapter a final read after your edits to ensure that the elements make sense as a whole, and are not repeated every two paragraphs (I plead guilty, your honor)
Pros: allows you to focus precisely on each point, and give it dedicated attention.
Cons: you can quickly get confused and risk multiple re-readings + significant time investment.
I make my corrections on a separate file. Whatever you do, it's always better to have a backup and therefore to save your files (don't blindly trust autosave) to create archives. I think it's a two-ways process : 1) you open two files simultaneously, one with your V1 and one, blank, where you'll rewrite your chapter as you make changes. Eventually, this new doc will become your V2 ; 2) you copy the parts to proofread into a new document and edit directly in there.
Pros: allows you to rewrite as you wish without being discouraged by the following paragraphs - especially in case of the first way.
Cons: requires multiple files (maybe multiple screens to be at ease) and better organization.
Change the typography. I don't know about you, but after a while, I'm struck by semantic satiation (click on the link - it's Wikipedia -, it's very interesting) and nothing makes sense anymore. After the 52,846th proofreading, I might as well read in another language. I've found a relatively effective trick - not as effective as a complete break, but sometimes you need to move forward - which consists of changing the typography. I can't remember who gave me this advice though, but be sure they've been thanked more than enough in my mind. In any case, seeing words change their shape significantly helps my brain to stay focused and attentive. (Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me but I only see the results.)
Pros: it's simple to implement.
Cons: I don't know if this trick works for everyone or if I'm the only weirdo (you can tell me in the comment section).
Take notes. This is a very personal tip but I keep a proofreading logbook. Like, I record in a few sentences the first time an element is mentioned, how it's describes, and most importantly… I MENTION THE DATES. The story I'm currently writing is heavily governed by a chronological system, so I have an absolute need to keep the day count up to date.
Pros: helps avoid inconsistencies and oversights.
Cons: very tedious to maintain and creates (a lot) of extra work.
I've started my prooreading journey yesterday and I already want to die. If I find in the edits something that is worth making a post, be sure that I will. Or let me know if you're simply curious.
Gentle reminder : Best is the worst enemy of good so, at some point, you'll have to let it go and let your chapter live its life to its fullest. Don't be hard on yourself and be proud of your work - or know that I am.

Writing Notes: Developing your Story
Below are questions to consider while writing, and especially during the editing process, to create a more cohesive, rounded, and satisfying story for your readers.
There are 2 main types of writing styles: plot-driven or character-driven. Most writers naturally lean towards one writing style.
But the best writers understand that they must balance their preferred storytelling to create a satisfying tale.
By recognizing your writing preference, you will be able to identify the areas you need to balance.
Plot-Driven Stories
Often exciting and fast-paced.
Compel the reader to turn the page to find out how the characters will escape, evade, prevail, or overcome.
Focus on a set of choices that a character must make.
Meticulously tie together plot points to create a cohesive story.
Focus on ideas instead of people and their motivations.
Force your characters to make quick decisions that move the plot forwards. As a result, character development is secondary to plot development.
Character-Driven Story
Focused on studying the characters that make up your story.
Can deal with inner transformation or the relationships between the characters.
Focuses on how the character arrives at a particular choice.
When you zoom into the internal conflicts, you tend to focus less on the external conflicts.
The plot in a character-driven story is usually simple and often hyper-focused on the internal or interpersonal struggle of the character(s).
The plot is used to develop the character.
Many readers love character-driven stories because the author tends to put a premium on developing realistic, flawed, and human characters.
Readers can see themselves or someone they love in these characters and, as a result, connect emotionally.
When Writing a Plot Driven Story, Answer These Questions About Each of Your Main Characters:
What is the character’s back story?
What is the character’s personality?
How was the character’s personality shaped by his/her backstory?
How does each scene develop the character?
What is driving the character’s reaction within the scene (based on his/her back story)?
How does your character change within the course of the story?
What is the character’s internal conflict?
What is the character most afraid of?
How would he/she define happiness?
When Writing a Character Driven Story, Answer These Questions About Your Plot:
What does your character want to happen in each scene?
Is there tension or conflict within each scene?
What action does the character take within each scene?
How does this action move the story forward?
How does each scene contribute to the overall story?
What is the worst thing that can happen to your character(s)?
How does your character prevent it from happening?
What happens if your character cannot prevent it from happening?
What key events change the main characters in your story?
