WRITING HELP // inspiration, ideas, and more!

friendly reminder that you are allowed to write selfishly. Your writing is allowed to be self-indulgent. You can have self-insert characters. Your stories can be pure wish-fulfillment.

Sometimes we get so caught up in wanting to please the theoretical reader that we forget our writing is first and foremost for us. It’s our art, our self-expression, and we do it for our passion and our joy.

Use other voices and perspectives to grow your own perspective and bring more to your writing. But you don’t owe it to anyone to create art for them, the way they want it.

Your writing can be a love letter to yourself.

Chapter 4: Very interesting. I used to write fan fiction stories before I went to college, but after I graduated, my brain pretty much deteriorated. I can't write a story to save my life. I have to start looking for inspiration from places and I decided to look on AFF. This is a pretty cool group. I like most of the ideas on here. Who knows, I might be able to come up with something.

Chapter 95: For a writer tips, could you do one with verbs of "said"? Do you get me? I think that would be really useful.

Chapter 8: Yo! Hi there. I was just browsing on through and I really like the idea of this plot right here. Like I can already imagine what I would want to do with it and who I’d want to use. Don’t think I’d plan on putting it up anytime soon tho, but definitely want to make a story with this sometime in the future! So would that be cool with you? Because I wanna get your permission to so I can start planning and working on it soon and be ready by the time I do actually wanna post it. If yes, I’ve got a question; is it okay if I change the title? Since I’ve already came up with another one I like more.
