writing tips

[goalposts]

Recently I've been struggling something epic over a challenge story I'm trying to get finished, and I've been thinking a lot about the ways I get out of my ~funk and finish things. These are the tips I would give; they really genuinely work for me. Also I'm fascinated to hear what other people do, so please share!

aw no worries! another thing I find that helps is just talking to ppl about it, or even just sharing the fact that you're stuck! good luck with your writing! :)

I find timed writing helps. Write or die's online version is really cool as well http://writeordie.com/

I've never tried this! I'm terrible at writing to any kind of immediate deadline but it does look v. interesting. plus god knows I need the kick.

+ Post what you've written. Not publicly, but there's something about seeing even a small portion of your work posted and looking all pretty that helps you keep going with it. I also find it easier to edit this way; so much less messy.

Story of my life, right there.

hahaha it's good to know sometimes that you're not the only one who does things that way :)
