You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.
Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.
Kill the censor in your head.
#the redwall glorifying site can sure be squeamish about books with no more problematic premises#if you’re asking what’s wrong with redwall it’s the good/evil species essentialism and the one book that doubles down on it#but like you still read it if you want to write animals having cozy adventures so you’re not ignorant of half your own genre

Unleashing Your Inner Author: A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Write a Book
Shaina Tranquilino
November 9, 2023
Writing a book is often seen as an arduous and intimidating task, reserved only for the literary elite. However, with the right mindset, approach, and guidance, anyone can embark on this fulfilling journey of self-expression and storytelling. In this blog post, we will explore practical tips and strategies to help you bring your ideas to life and write a compelling book.
1. Define Your Idea: The first step towards writing a book is to identify and clarify your idea. Ask yourself what story or message you want to convey through your work. Brainstorm, jot down notes, and refine your concept until it becomes clear in your mind.
2. Outline Your Plot (For Fiction): If you're writing fiction, creating an outline will serve as a roadmap for your story. Develop your main characters, their motivations, conflicts they encounter along the way, and how these elements intertwine to form a captivating narrative arc.
3. Research Thoroughly: Regardless of genre, conducting thorough research is essential. Whether it's historical events for a historical novel or scientific theories for a non-fiction work, accurate information adds depth and credibility to your writing.
4. Set Writing Goals: Establishing achievable writing goals helps maintain momentum throughout the process. Determine daily or weekly word count targets that suit your schedule and gradually build up towards completing your manuscript.
5. Create a Writing Routine: Consistency is key when it comes to writing a book. Designate specific times during the day dedicated solely to writing; this routine will train your brain to be more productive during those periods.
6. Embrace First Draft Imperfections: Remember that the first draft doesn't need to be perfect; instead, focus on getting words onto paper without worrying about grammar or structure at this stage. The primary goal is to get the story out of your head and onto the page.
7. Seek Constructive Feedback: Once you've completed your first draft, it's time to share it with trusted friends or writing groups for feedback. Embrace constructive criticism as a means to refine your work, strengthen weak areas, and enhance overall storytelling.
8. Revise and Edit: The revision process is where the magic happens. Reread your manuscript multiple times, addressing plot holes, refining character development, improving dialogue, and ensuring consistency in style and tone. Pay attention to grammar, spelling errors, punctuation, and sentence structure during this stage.
9. Polish Your Prose: Craft compelling sentences by using vivid imagery, evocative language, and powerful metaphors. Develop strong narrative voices that resonate with readers and engage their emotions on a deeper level.
10. Consider Professional Editing: For professional quality assurance, consider hiring an editor who specializes in your genre. Their expertise will help polish your book further and provide valuable insights for improvement.
11. Prepare for Publication: As you approach the final stages of completing your book, start considering options for publication—whether traditional publishing houses or self-publishing platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). Research each avenue thoroughly before making a decision.
Writing a book is undoubtedly a challenging endeavour that requires dedication, discipline, and creativity. However, armed with the right mindset and following these practical steps outlined above, you can embark on an exciting journey of literary creation. Remember to be patient with yourself throughout the process; Rome wasn't built in a day! So unleash your inner author and let your words come alive on paper—an adventure awaits!

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will
#svsss#scum villian self saving system#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#the fact that people think scum villain#-a series that examines and criticizes common tropes in fiction-#is somehow against criticism or being a little hater is wild to me#especially since shen qingqiu never gets punished for being a hater#heck- he's still a little hater by the end of the series#he mostly gets punished for treating life like a play and like he and the people around him are characters#(or in other words- he suffers for denying his own wants and emotions and his own sense of empathy)#I think some of y'all underestimate how much writing/art is inspired by creaters being little haters#like example off the top of my head-#the author of Iron Widow has been pretty vocal about the book being inspired by their hatred of Darling in the Franxx#I think my interpretation of Shen Yuan's transmigration is also supported by the fact that this series is an examines writing processes#side note- though i understand why people say Shen Yuan is lazy and think its a valid take it still doesnt sit right with me#i am probably biased because my own experiences with chronic pain and depression and isolation#but ya- i dont think Shen Yuan is lazy so much as he is deeply lonely and feels purposeless after denying parts of himself for 20ish years#like yall remember the online fandom boom from covid right?#being stuck completely alone in bed while feeling like shit for 20 days straight does shit to your brain#the fact that no one came to check on him + he wasn't exactly upset about leaving anyone behind supports the isolation interpretation too#+in the skinner demon arc he describes his life of being a faker/inability to stop being a faker now that he's Shen Qingqiu#as “so bland he's tempted to throw salt on himself” and “all he could do is lay around and wait for death” (<-paraphrasing)#bro wants to be doing stuff but is stuck in paralysis from repeatedly following scrips made by other people#another point on “Shen Yuan isn’t lazy” is just the sheer amount of studying that man does#also he did graduate college- how lazy can he really be#he doesnt know what hes doing but he at least tries to actively train his students#and he actually works on improving his own cultivation + spends quite a bit of time preping the mushroom body thing#+he's experiencing bouts of debilitating chronic pain throughout all this#but ya tldr: Shen Yuan's transmigration is an encouragement to write and not a punishment and also i dont think its fair to call him lazy

There’s no way Hazbin fans (more so Stans) and Viv herself genuinely believe Hazbin hotel is anything like Bojack? Where does Hazbin even take inspiration from Bojack?? Bojack horseman is such a good show, with complex thoughts and ideas expressed in its writing and characters.
Vivziepop is not a curious writer. She doesn’t care about representing people, she has a limited creative mind because she cannot understand politics nor philosophy beyond a highschool level. Her progressive ideology is built of hate for women and the fetishization of gay men. She has nothing interesting to say, nothing new to add and no substance to her works.
There are so many reasons bojack horseman works where Hazbin doesn’t, and I’m tired of pretending a ‘adult show’ that brings up ‘adult themes seriously’ is on the same level as bojack horseman.
#hazbin hotel critical#hazbin hotel#anti vivziepop#anti spindlehorse#hazbin hotel critique#anti hazbin hotel#seriously Bojack is better#I need to rewatch Bojack for the 900th time#like the writing is so vulnerable#if you cannot reflect on your actions and take responsibility for them then you cannot produce good writing about redemption or assholes#Viv is bojack when he tried to write his own book without Diane’s help.#fuck vivziepop

Hey so can we like clear some time in our schedules for us to all get together and collectively remember that "write for yourself" was never supposed to mean what anyone on this site takes it to mean? Yeah the actual advice there is that you shouldn't compromise your own art and ideas for the sake of pleasing an audience, real or theoretical. IDK how so many people took it to mean "it's wrong to want people to engage with your art."
Like yeah lemme post this to archiveofourown.org so I can (checks notes) think about it alone more
#writing#writeblr#writblr#writing advice#writers on tumblr#writers on ao3#ao3#archive of our own#fanfic#fanfic writing#fic writing#fanfic authors#ao3 writer#ao3 fanfic#ao3 fic#write for yourself#vent post#and while we're at it: “show don't tell” was made by playwrights#wonderful rule for a medium where the audience literally Cannot See any of your written tellings#not nearly as consistently wonderful when you are writing a book (in which the audience is literally required to see all of your tellings)#not to say it's a bad bit of advice for novelists to keep in mind! it's just Situational#and I don't think many people notice that

Hey patrons! 💗
So, what did you all think of the short stories collection?
Did any of them stand out to you? What worked or didn’t? Is there else anything you’d love to see more of in the future :D
Also, exciting news: I've begun working on Chapter 5—we’re moving forward!
After the new chapter's update, I'll dedicate the following to overhauling some of the game's romance aspects, sort of a 3.0 update.
Thanks for reading. As always, your feedback means the world to me—please let me know what you think!
Catch you all soon in the Abyss!

Between TSATS and WOTTG at this point it seems like Rick has forgotten that Hypnos and Morpheus are actually two separate gods
Possibly one of the most amusing things about this is we DO have canon acknowledgement of Hypnos and Morpheus explicitly being separate gods, including even official art of Morpheus specifically.
...the thing is though, that this book in particular is ghostwritten.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#pjo#riordanverse#rr crit#Anonymous#ask#this book was also actually published BEFORE TLO surprisingly#but there is so much irony in Rick failing to even bother checking the book. literally called. ''The Ultimate Guide'' for any notes#when writing further books. like my brother in riordanverse you dont even have a series bible#at the very least consult your OWN OFFICIAL GUIDEBOOK#but it is so amusing to me that just like. yeah we do have at least one acknowledgement of them being separate#but it's not from Rick LMAO#i did also check through TLO and all the Morpheus mentions specify is that he's god of dreams#though Percy did request he gets a cabin at CHB (alongside Janus) but in HoO we only see the Hypnos cabin

Submitting an unpolished manuscript
Submitting an unpolished manuscript is a surefire way to get rejected by publishers.

A poorly written manuscript can turn off publishers and agents before they even finish reading it.
Tip: Take the time to edit and revise your manuscript thoroughly. Consider hiring a professional editor or beta readers to provide feedback on your work.
Failing to follow submission guidelines
Each publisher and literary agent has their own set of submission guidelines, which new authors must follow. Failing to adhere to these guidelines can result in your manuscript being rejected without even being read free resources for writers.
Tip: Always read and follow submission guidelines carefully. Make sure your manuscript is formatted correctly and includes all the required information, such as a query letter and synopsis.
Submitting to the wrong publishers or agents
New authors often make the mistake of submitting their manuscript to the wrong publishers or literary agents. Submitting to publishers or agents who do not represent your genre or style of writing will result in rejection.

In today's digital age, publishers and literary agents are looking for authors who have a strong online presence. New authors who neglect the importance of a platform may find it challenging to get published.
Tip: Build an online platform by creating a website, blog, or social media accounts. Share your writing, engage with your audience, and network with other writers.

New authors who focus solely on getting published may overlook the importance of writing for the love of writing. Writing is a craft that requires practice, dedication, and passion.
