@samknight.bsky.social's #writingtips: One of the first things I did was try to figure out how many lines per page and words per line. Yes I feel dumb now. But I didn't know I didn't need to know. My point is, whatever it is that made you feel dumb is okay. You're learning. Keep going.
Show Post@samknight.bsky.social's #writingtips: Some authors start with a title, because it gave them the idea for the story. Some struggle to come up with a title later. Either is fine, but remember, the first line of your story isn't the first hook your reader reads: it's the title.
Show Post@samknight.bsky.social 's #writingtips: Create a Search and Destroy list to keep next to your computer. Put things on it that you know you overdo but don't want to. Like -ly words, sighed, chuckled, smirked, just, and the em-dash. When editing, go down the list to check or remove them.
Show Post@samknight.bsky.social's #writingtips: An eggcorn is a word or a phrase misheard and repeated incorrectly. Like eggcorn instead of acorn. Mute point vs moot point. Take for granite vs take for granted. Don't assume that you are correct when you use a colloquial phrase, look it up.
Show Post@samknight.bsky.social's #writingtips: It's okay to plot. It's okay to make it up as you go. It's okay to do a combination of the two. Writing is an art. Explore it. Do it in ways that make you happy. Learn the why of rules to break them creatively. Don't let others hold you back.
