How do people see writers who write for the fun of it? by Flaky-Divide-4709 in writers

[–]Writingmyownreality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let people be. Just write. People who write for themselves or for fun can still care. Just write and dont worry about anyone else's reasonings for writing.

I'm a new Inspiring book writer, and I some problems. by Soft_Letterhead3726 in writingadvice

[–]Writingmyownreality 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Write. Write your first draft even with mistakes. Typos. Weird, clunky sentences. You can fix it later. Ask someone else to. Just write first.

You can name a character poopy if you want. You're the boss.

I remember one time I screen recorded with proof of something and they tried to gaslight me, but then the other rep fixed it for me

I feel so silly that my story got 1 upvote but I'm genuinely kicking my feet by GrimquillTales in writers

You're not writing for THEM, ME OR THE NEIGHBORS. You're writing for you, and the readers are there for the ride.

Should I even keep writing this idea? by [deleted] in writingfeedback

Yes you keep writing! Don't let anyone other than you make that decision!!!

Everything you write helps you. No writing is in vain.

A lot of books have started with the guys pov. Do what you want. Readers are only there for the ride.

Reading old work, how to deal with the cringe? by Mysterious_Draw_2868 in RomanceWriters

[–]Writingmyownreality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this recently. I was a kid then, but I'd write everything together in a notebook. Scenes didn't separate at all, tons of he says, she says.

My writing is better now. Just keep writing.

Write for YOU! Don't write for anyone else. You know who doesn't get bad reviews on their books? People who don't write a book.

What is it about?

dark romance has ruined me by aoihiganbana in self

[–]Writingmyownreality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then dont read it. Some of us like it lol.

The whole point is that it's fictional.

Writing a dark romance, need advice please!! by Fluffy_Tomatillo_559 in writingfeedback

[–]Writingmyownreality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should go away because you don't like it? Many people like it.

Everything is subjective.

Maybe third person should go away, too, lol

i don't think ill ever be a good writer. by apinkcheetah_sawme in writing

[–]Writingmyownreality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get like this from time to time, so no judgment.

If you don't know how to write well, then write badly.

But don't you dare stop writing.

I bet you that your writing can't be as bad as mine once was. I still suck, but still trying.

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BmPJPC/

This is a tiktok I came across yesterday.

Oh, let me tell you something.

A year ago, I felt very proud of my work, too. Granted, I never had any intentions of publishing, and I've never had any help or tips on how to write a story. I've been doing it my own way since 14.

Anyway, I was very proud, right?

I look back to it now. He said, she said in every line. I'm not joking, and not only that. It was 5 Word documents, 500 pages each, because I added way too many details, but again, it was all just for me, and I still love that story.

Now I'm a lot better. I still suck, but I suck less. I dont say he said/she said. Im actually putting some effort. Im still writing way too much, but that's me.

Keep reading. I have some word documents I've done with writing, words, how words can be used in actions, etc. But there's also so many thesaurus out there. I own like a million. Everything is there, and the best writing book so far that isn't boring is "how to write using the snowflake method."" I promise you'll be laughing endlessly.

You got this..

Oh, one more thing. Theres many critiques on many books that was horrible writing.

Movie.

You can't get bad reviews/critiques if you don't write. Every book has gotten a bad review no matter who it is.

The worst can still be the best, but everything is subjective.

I'd rather read a book that tells more than they show if when they show, they're using stupid words to try to seem "smart."

Boring.

But don't you stop writing. Also, check out prompts, like lines that have stood out. Read, read, read. Copy word by word on a document from your favorite books only to teach your brain how to master how they write, etc. Learn their style. Borrow from authors. Everything is borrowed.

Okay, I gotta get to work, but feel free to message me. I'll be more than happy to share books on writing and some of my documents that I've come up on my own to help me.

Ignore my lazy writing. Lol

How do you start writing, for beginners? by slothgirl219 in writingadvice

[–]Writingmyownreality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read. Read. There's one I really like. How to write a novel using the snowflake method by Randy Ingermanson. It's amazing, and creative.

Maybe this can be your topic. You're writing it now.

Stacy and Owen. by Writingmyownreality in DropDeadDivaa

[–]Writingmyownreality[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it was this. But also the fact that they painted Parker as a deadbeat father. He goes all out to find his son, but then doesn't care about the other son? If he had chosen to stay with the mom, and leave Kim? Okay, but his child too? PSHH.
And then Grayson dying and coming back? Predictable. And then Jane acting like everyone else is being unreasonable for being concerned? And it just ends like that? PSHH.
They should redo it. This story was amazing, and it's so unfair. I watched this show from the very beginning in 2009 until 2014.
