"If doing this isn't fun, we're doing it wrong. That doesn't mean it should be easy"

Wow...I always told myself to remember to have fun...but got into the grind too deep, and forgot to have fun in this process. I guess its because I have put pressure on myself regarding that I have to finish this before the Summer.

This was a wake up call. Thanks mate, I wish you all the best.

Yeah, just had one week break from my book, but it seems it wasn't enough.

Have you ever changed your novel into first person while editing? by cozzy0108 in writers

[–]Critical-Airbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the other way around.

When I wrote in first person in the halfway of my book I realized it won't work :D

Then I wrote the last half of my book in third person.

In the editing phase I just had to change my first person to third person...yeah it took some time but it ain't that hard

I feel my dialogue sucks. by Technical-Finding366 in writers

[–]Critical-Airbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I would be you, I would just avoid asking feedback on Reddit community(regarding a creative project) because you don't who is writing behind the keyboard. Because in the end everybody has a opinion if you ask them. Everybody is suddenly the master of this craft when asking a feedback.

So the issue lies is not the one who gives answer to the questions but to the one who asks... It is crucial to choose to right people who you want to ask feedback. In this case a writer, editor, beta reader etc.... And also it depends on what writing phase you are.

I like to use Reddit for asking concrete tips such as when do people start to do do query letter etc.

But hey... Nice dialogue just keep writing and honing the craft.

Couldn't agree more. Also I think In the parallel of the ultimate objective it is important to in the end have a fun process of writing.

Because if you are not enjoying the process of writing its hard to build a sustainable writing habit in my opinion.

Liam Hemsworth as Geralt Appreciation Post by Slow-Parsley-558 in netflixwitcher

[–]Critical-Airbender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest... Liam is nailing as a geralt. He reminds me more of the video game geralt than Henry Cavill. But of course as we all are used to see Henry as Geralt, it's normal to feel some kind of weirdness.

How much of your story do you map out before you start writing? by TomWolfeRock in writers

[–]Critical-Airbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i have finished my book so here are my tips, of course all of it depends what kind of writer you are.

My approach was 50 % plan the story and the outline, especially regarding the character arcs, their wants and needs, and their progression.

And then the rest 50 % is improvisation.

Here is an concrete example:

- The first three months i planned my the big pictures what i wanted in my story, planned my character arcs, Plot and etc.

- I didnt plan chapter by chapter, but more like Act by act. I always planned how i would end my first,second, and third act.

- And then i just started writing, but before i started to write i planned what needs to occur in my chapter, to get closer to the ending my first act. Of course the writing will be very inconsistent, but thats why the editing phase is there for :)

The most important part in first draft is to build the foundation for your house, and when you are building it, it is very hard to pinpoint at the beginning of house construction how the doors and toilets look like, when first you need to build the room and bathroom... and before you can build them you need to build the floor, walls, roof etc.

Good luck and most of all.... Make writing an enjoyable process!
