polysorscha:

1. every character’s first line should be an introduction to who they are as a person
2. even if you only wrote one sentence on a really bad day, that’s still one sentence more than you had yesterday
3. exercise restraint when using swear words and extra punctuation in order for them to pack a punch when you do use them
4. if your characters have to kiss to show they’re in love, then they’re not in love
5. make every scene interesting (or make every scene your favorite scene), otherwise your readers will be just as bored as you
6. if you’re stuck on a scene, delete the last line you wrote and go in a different direction, or leave in brackets as placeholders
7. don’t compare your first draft to published books that could be anywhere from 3rd to 103rd drafts
8. i promise you the story you want to tell can fit into 100k words or less
9. sometimes the book isn’t working because it’s not ready to be written or you’re not ready to write it yet; let it marinate for a bit so the idea can develop as you become a better writer
10. a story written in chronological order takes a lot more discipline and is usually easier to understand than a story written with flashbacks
