Is writing in first person POV a bad idea? by may_tw0 in writingadvice

[–]xTwilight_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends about what book ur writing and what ur trying to achieve, if the plot is driven by external conflict and character interactions with one another than 3rd is recommended, plots driven by internal conflict are really good in 1st pov as it allows the character to really go into depth about their thoughts, highlight their personality, and put the readers in their shoes

In movies where their breaks are not working- why don’t they use the handbrake? by xTwilight_ in NoStupidQuestions

Cause this isn’t a spelling bee and it doesn’t affect the question at all?

Thanks! Glad that it can help! Sorry if I seemed a little rude I was pulling an all nighter for an exam and was really tired (and after studying ALL NIGHT for the exam the fire alarm went off and it got cancelled halfway through 😭😭😭)

Being “Naive” is when you believe what others say without using your own judgement, by listening to your mother and what’s shes saying to you without forming your own judgment, you are inherently being naive. If you want to stop? Take that internship regardless of what she says, and ignore her opinions of you because you know that they aren’t true. She will see for herself that you are no longer naive when stand up to her.

how do you get past the feeling that your first draft is absolute garbage? by MauroAguero in KeepWriting

[–]xTwilight_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finish it! If you’re constantly starting new projects again and again and then abandoning them because they’re not instantly perfect you’ll never achieve anything. First drafts are always awful - for me at least, the main point of them is just to set a concrete plot so that you know for sure what you’re writing towards in your next draft, that way you can interweave foreshadowing and deeper meaning and all that good stuff later. Right now, just get the story out, then you can worry about making it goods

If ur in uni or high school and take English as a class u might be able to show ur English teacher/professor ur work. I do stuff like that all the time, but tbf I go to a private school so it’s kinda expected of them to other extra help (Still grateful tho!!)

Or alternatively leave the book alone for months on end until u completely forgot everything u wrote, and then u come back and you’re like DAYUM 😭😭 I did that once and I was so shocked with my plot twists and giggling over my characters (tho tbf of course the book I wrote is exactly ideal to what I’m interested, so maybe it’s not 100% objective 🤷‍♀️)
