Writing advice: Writing tips for new writers 👉 Save for later! . Read intentionally. When you read a paragraph of a novel that makes you tense or delighted or fearful, question why. Think about the word choice, the sentence structure, the pacing, and everything that came in the scene before it. See how you can use these techniques in your own writing. . Practice writing short stories sometimes, even if your end goal is to write a novel. As Ray Bradbury said: “Write a short story every week. It’s not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.” . Write primarily for yourself, especially if writing is a hobby. There’s always going to be someone who hates something. You can’t please everyone! Writers benefit from a thick skin. If you see a tweet about how your favourite trope is cliche or weird, you don’t need to cut it out of your book. There’s a market for everything, and if you write something you genuinely love, it’ll find its audience. . Try finding a writing community. There’s a link to a free writing club discord in my bio under “free resources”. Sometimes a second opinion helps a lot! . You can break as many “rules” as you like. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to writing. If a piece of advice doesn’t suit you, there’s no need to follow it. Your writing is uniquely yours, and that means you have the freedom to break as many “rules” as you want. . 👉  Save for later 💬  Tell us your favourite writing tips in the comments 🔍  Get resources and freebies in the link in my bio .

Writing tips: A pen name, or pseudonym, is a fictitious name that an author uses instead of their real name when publishing their work. Writers use pen names for all sorts of reasons such as privacy, personal preference, or to cross into another genre. Here are some tips for creating yours. ⁺₊✧ (Save for later) ⁺₊✧ CHECK GOOGLE AND SOCIALS: First of all you don’t want to pick a pen name only to find out they’re a famous w@r criminal. 💀 Beyond the obvious though, you might have a smoother ride if your pen name isn’t taken on social media. No big deal if it is, you can always modify the handle by adding “writer” or “writes” or “author” on the end, but if even THOSE are taken, consider going back to the drawing board. ⁺₊✧ CONSIDER GENRE: You don’t have to do this by any means, but readers often have certain expectations based on the genre. Your pen name can signal what sort of content readers might expect from you. A cozy romance writer might choose a name that sounds approachable and nice like Lily Summers over something like Rex Falcon. ⁺₊✧ USE AN INITIAL: This not only gives you some anonymity but it can conceal things like your gender. If this is important to you (for example, you might be writing in a genre dominated by another gender, or you’re a private person) then consider it. ⁺₊✧ HONOUR SOMEBODY: If you’re stuck, look to people you want to honour. This could be a family member, an inspirational writer, or some other icon in your life. You can take their first name, for example, or their surname (if it’s not super distinct and recognisable). Generally avoid taking their entire name unless they’re fine with that. ⁺₊✧ GET FEEDBACK: Sometimes even the smartest people miss a very very obvious drawback. Better safe than sorry! Get some feedback on your pen name. You can do it in the comments section if you want! ⁺₊✧ 👉  Save for later ✨  Follow @schoolofplot for more writing advice, tips, prompts 🔍  Get writing resources and freebies in the link in my bio .

Writing a book starts off as magic. You’re in love, flying through that first draft, high on vibes and potential. And then suddenly… it’s draft seven. You’ve rewritten the same sentence twenty times, your laptop is one sigh away from being launched out a window, and your brain feels like a microwaved 🥔 Now I’m in the query trenches and genuinely considering flipping my desk, my laptop, and maybe even my soul. Do I want to give up? Yes. Will I? I don’t know. But I do know I’m not alone. So if you’re right there with me — deep in revisions, burned out, questioning everything — this is your sign: Let’s just keep going! Together? One word at a time? Even when it sucks?

The technique that changed everything ⤵️ But first, make sure you’re following so you don’t miss any writing tips and tricks. I used to think that asking for help with my writing meant I wasn’t good enough as a writer. I USED to think that truly great writers were the ones who only had raw, natural talent… And if I asked for help, then I wasn’t one of them. Well, that was dumb. But hey, we all make mistakes, right? Which is why I felt super silly when I finally created a technique that worked… And it was stupidly easy. I call it my Signature Q&A Method, and it uses targeting questions to develop each part of your story, no matter the genre. I gave it to my students and they started writing like crazy. One of them even finished her first draft in 90 days! Want to see it for yourself? Comment METHOD and then check your DMs 🫶 (And make sure you’re following, or the DM may not go through) Let’s write that novel! #writersofinstagram #writer #writersofig #writertok #writerproblems
