How do I becum a good writer like you
wouldn't know if 'm actually a good writer tbh,, but ig that if you wanna improve, some things u should try to do are:
♡ ── (obviously) write because you like to and want to, and definitely not because you feel obligated to 😭
i know it's impossible to always be happy doing the same thing over and over again and always be inspired, but as much as it sucks whenever author's block gets to you, don't push yourself to go and finish that work that has been sitting on your drafts for weeks because, 1) I can assure u most of the time it still probably won't convince you completly even if it's already finished, and 2) it's ofc bad for your physical and mental health >:
♡ ── have at least some basic knowledge on the topic you wanna write about and spend some bits of your time learning more about it 🫶
this certainly depends on what is it that you specialize on, in my case being yandere babes :D evidently, I wouldn't be able to write about yandere archetypes and everything that it involves if I don't know shit about what that is– and even after knowing the essentials, you will have to make some research and learn about it in a more developed level to add depth and accuracy to your writing. doing this can help you understand better the nuances and intricacies of the subject matter, which will def make your writing more engaging and compelling.
♡ ── expand your vocabulary, correct on grammar and spelling mistakes & make sure it sounds nice 👆
👏 literature 👏 is 👏 a 👏 form 👏 of 👏 art 👏 and yeah, this might probably sound cringy and obvious and whatever bs internet uses these days to describe everything,, but I learnt about it since I was seven and it never went away — art is made to express, communicate and entertain. in literature, a writing will appeal more to a reader with it's coherence and cohesion, with it's fluidity and with it's artistry. by correcting those things, you will not just make it more attractive, but will also develop a certain style depending on what tone u use while writing.
♡ ── read as much as you can and keep whatever feedback you receive (as long as it's constructive) in mind! 💬
it doesn't matter if what you read are just smutty fics on this hellsite or if you adore collecting and having entire bookshelves filled with classics. the thing is that, even if each author is different, we all want to reach an audience if we publish our works. if you find someone who writes about the same topic as you, if you pay attention on what makes them successful, or what does their audience and followers like and dislike, you will learn about small things that will make your own work more pleasant and entertaining. of fucking course, this doesn't mean nor refer that you can or should plagiarize anyone's writing.
♡ ── make drafts and take notes,,,, a big ass amount 🤡
don't be afraid or think it looks awful having +69 drafts unfinished deep in your acc,, absolutely all practice is good practice. even if you don't have your phone or laptop around, if you're on class or at your workplace or something, if you have an idea – no matter how small – write it down wherever you can and develop it as much as you want. it's impossible to improve without practice 😭

there is something about the way barbie explores the dynamic between women and other women—mothers and daughters, friendships, sisters, whatever—that just made me feel so warm and peaceful and understood after. of course it just gets it so right. it gets so much better the more i think about the movie, but nothing feels better than the bliss of sitting in the theater bathroom stall smiling to myself, feeling like i left the equivalent of a celebratory hug of girlhood.
thinking about that time my therapist suggested i go to a gynecologist after opening up about my pregnancy scares, and how it was advice “coming from another woman.” feeling hesitant but also knowing there was a mutual understanding that i was really maturing, she watched me mature, she saw her experience in my own.
thinking about the time i called my mom and she talked to me for the first time about dating and told me she just wanted to protect myself and i insisted that i could. then i ended up sitting at a table with my roommates and swearing i was imparted with generational knowledge and that my mom really was just like me.
there’s a lot said in the barbie movie and i think there’s just a lot to be understood from it too. its so feminine in its entirety and that’s just my favorite part. it’s hard to really get it all into words and even putting it into words can’t get everything—
there’s so much you just have to feel.
