You’re taking notes wrong ⬇️ My biggest mistake as a student was writing down everything the professor said since “I wouldn’t miss anything” I was studying 6-8 hours a day, and averaging 70s… as an Asian… Chinese at that… I brought shame onto my family 😭 Until I realized I’ve been using my brain wrong We aren’t human copiers, we shouldn’t go to class to take notes just to go back and review later. We should understand it right then and there. 🤓 So how do I do this? Here’s 3 tips that brought me to a 94% average and reduced my study time to 1-2 hours per day: 1️⃣ Write as little as you possible can: Learning happens in the brain, not on paper. The less you write, the more time you have to synthesize the information in your brain and actually listen to what the professor is saying. This is counterintuitive and it will feel uncomfortable, but you have to trust your brain. 2️⃣ Stop using your laptop Linear notes on Google Docs or Notion do NOT help you learn because that’s not how our brain works. We learn by making new connections, so use mind mapping instead. (The map does not have to make logical sense at all, mines complete nonsense BUT it makes sense to me. That’s what matters) 3️⃣ PRE-Class review Take half an hour to skim over the topic being covered before class. It’s 100x easier to make connections if you have a general idea of what the topic is. This is why learning anything for the second time is always easier. (DONT ask yourself “why” questions here, the goal isn’t deep understanding, it’s exposure to the topic to cover as much surface area as you can) —- 🤯🥳 These techniques will prove to you that you aren’t a bad student, you just didn’t know how to learn properly. If it can take me from 70% to 94% while cutting down my study time, it can help you too. I hope it helps, follow along for more tips like this! I’ll see you tomorrow 🫶

Delete these words from your writing 🚫 Before we start, I’m going to give the obvious disclaimer that there’s nuance to this, and you shouldn’t take a catchy hook as a hard rule. The following words can often be deleted from your prose just because there are often stronger, more effective ways to write. That said, if there are places where you think they work, LEAVE THEM IN. Also, this doesn’t count for dialogue. . SUDDENLY: See if you can convey suddenness instead of writing ‘suddenly’. For example, you could swap ‘suddenly, the door opened’ to ‘the door burst open’. . FELT: (As in the past tense of ‘to feel’, not the fuzzy fabric.) There are some cases where this word works fine, but see if your sentence could be stronger if you described the feeling instead of just saying ‘he felt X’. For example, instead of ‘he felt agitated’, show him pacing, write his scattered thoughts, describe his fidgeting, and so on. If you need some guidance, check out the ✨FREE BODY LANGUAGE CHEAT SHEET✨ linked in my bio for a handy reference. . SAW/HEARD: Sometimes these words have a purpose, but they can often be replaced with something stronger and more direct. Instead of ‘he heard a man walking’ you could write ‘footsteps echoed down the hallway’. This can be more vivid. It allows readers to experience sights/sounds firsthand instead of filtering them through the character’s perspective. . SEEMED: Again, this word has its place. If you want your sentence to sound more direct and concise, remove it. If you want to keep an air of uncertainty, keep it. For example, you could rewrite ‘everyone seemed to agree’ with ‘a wave of applause rippled through the crowd’. . 👉  Save for later ✨  Follow @schoolofplot for more writing advice, tips, prompts 🔍  Get writing resources and freebies in the link in my bio .

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 .

Nobody explains THIS 👇 Even though it’s the real reason some chapters keep you reading at 2am. Most writers try to fix pacing by adding events. The real secret is adjusting sentence momentum. Here’s the part no one teaches you 👇 1️⃣ Match sentence length to emotional speed Fast moment? Short, clipped sentences. Slow moment? Expanded lines that let the reader breathe with your character. Example: Run. Don’t think. Just move. Your heartbeat keeps pace, and you want to read faster to find out what’s happening next. 2️⃣ Break the rhythm right before the shift If everything reads at the same tempo, nothing feels urgent. Interrupt the pattern to signal a change, and readers will lean in 👀 Example: Keys. Mail. Shoes off. The mug on the table hadn’t been there when she left. That break is the tension. 3️⃣ Embed micro-tension in transitions Weak transitions drown out momentum. Strong ones carry the reader forward. Example: By morning, the lie would cost her more than she knew. Create a question about what will happen to give your scene forward movement. 4️⃣ Use page-turner sentence endings End the line on the exact word that makes the reader lean in. Instead of: She told him the truth even though she was terrified of his reaction. Try: She told him the truth. And waited. Minimal words ➡️ Maximum charge. ✨ The secret sauce: Pacing isn’t about adding action. It’s about controlling breath, rhythm, and momentum through your sentences. Master that, and your story becomes impossible to put down. Save this for later + follow @pen.and.polish 🙌😊
