I keep writing what’s happening then explaining what just happened and it’s driving me insane

ooof number 5 was my downfall until I read save the cat writes a novel, and how to write a good book. both of them made me realise that the first draft is supposed to be just that, not a publishable book the first time round 😆

None of this shit matters if youre goal is to write for yourself tho 😭😭😭 Keep it private, break the rules and just write for the pleasure of writing 😭🫶🏻

My journalism professor told me my creative writing and English degree were ruining my writing. He was right. Dropping out was the best thing I ever did as a writer. Art can't flourish in a system bent on instruction over intuition.

Anybody else do the exact opposite of being too expressive and poetic?🤣😅 like I have a line "My heart drops right into my fluffy socks" from the MMC and I think it's a ✨masterpiece✨

Was studying creative writing there worth it? I’m thinking of a masters but the cost makes it hard to justify. I’m wondering if it helps with networking and getting into the writing industry like screenwriting and game writing too?

is being happy a desire? i think my character is… misunderstanding his. or more like substitutes it with another, because he is scared of the real one
