i’m so obsessed with your work and how you write roman is amazing 🩷

do you have any tips for someone that also wants to start writing and sharing things on here ?

aww thank you anon!!🥹

I have a few tips, yeah!! (I've been waiting for this one tihi)

WRITE!! that's the only thing that'll really help u lol. I also re-read my writing all the time, and that's why I mostly started-- I wanted to read something perfectly suited for my tastes! but tbh I've been writing on and off since about 2015 and that has helped a LOT. I also had a writing spurt where I'd write about 1k every day for about a year from 2021-2022, so pls remember that this shit takes time! and you need to give yourself the grace to give yourself time, if that makes sense?

I used to follow many accounts on instagram that talked about grammar, how to paragraph, how to add tension, how to fill the space between tight dialogues, and so forth. that really helped to immerse me in getting better, as I'd be served information when I wasn't actively looking for it, and therefore I quickly absorbed it!

I didn't read a lot of fanfiction, and I still never really do, but when I found a gem, I really looked into what made me like that particular piece; was it the use of words? the way they built the chapter? how did they open the chapter? how did it catch my attention? WHAT is catching my attention here? I hate ppl that suggest you read more, so I'm just gonna say pick one book/fanfiction that you like and analyze it!<3

and as for posting here, all I gotta say is be consistent! update often enough, make your page clear, make your masterlist clear, and find a thing that makes your account yours! it's cool to have a denominator that sets you off from other people, or just have a schtick that is yours!

OH, and lastly, please, for the love of god, be confident about what you put out!! this is your heart and your soul, and no matter what, your work matters. your work really really matters.

I loved this question, so pls, if you have any more, feel free to send anything in!🥹🌸

idk if its just me but we need more relationship reveals in ao3 fanfics. there are less than 4000 fics on it it can literally be anything too like if you don't like writing crack you can easily make it angsty or fluffy or smutty if that's your thing. like it's such an open possibility and looks super fun to write (and super fun to read) and its such a neglected tag. it doesn't even need to be long either, just a simple oneshot PLEASE START WRITING UNDER THIS TAG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE THIS IS ME BEGGING

Just wondering, I have tried for years and for some reason have been mostly unsuccessful in researching the culture of South Korea for a Korean character I made. I can't exactly afford to go to South Korea myself ( though that is something I want to do some day) It's not urgent as that character is not currently relevant but can anyone suggest any books, movies, or shows that would be good for researching Korean culture?

As of right now most of my knowledge comes from when Markiplier talks about his family and the Korean romances my mother watches on Netflix

*Writing Help Alert*

Heyyo, i posted this on my other blog but i just started that one and suddenly realized I probably won’t get a lot of hits so i’ve decided to post it on this one in case anyone’s willing to give me some opinions on this haha

So i’m writing this comparative essay on female protagonists in shows and the different approaches writers take in crafting female leads. I’ve noticed that while some are fantastically written with depth and humour, others are made either cheesey and nonsensical where their characters are wasted and poorly written. 

my question is this: What are some female leads in media (film, tv, youtube, etc.) that you’ve really enjoyed and why?

2. What are some female leads you think have been poorly written or wasted?

Any thoughts on this is definitely appreciated! I need as varied opinions as I can get haha

After school plans

So I was thinking of starting a writing blog after my school finishes which is in march. Now I need to know some good writers blogs so I can understand how this works...can someone help me out? It'd be of great help!

SERIOUSLY OOC

as many of you may not know, I'm a bit of the writer. Not like the rp-ing type because we all know I am accurate in my depiction but unreliable at best. I do apologise for that. anyway.

I'm talking about the whole novel writer-y thing, and I have been stuck on this one god forsaken scene for 6 fucking months. Like my god. so annoying. So if anyone would care to help a fellow writer out? Just sort of review it and give me your thoughts and suggestions on how I might dig myself out of the hole I'm currently in?

If not, just send me some prompts so I can get back into the swing of writing things on command. Next to the prompt word/phrase/sentence/etc write para or poem, cos I haven't written good poetry in a while.

Anyway.

As you were '

Anybody who writes, don't care what, that can give me advice on how to be good at it? Please? Thanks...
