for the writer who

can't seem to write!!

*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

1. buy a pencil and paper. get a

writing program and a keyboard.

2. spill all your ideas into a notebook

that will never see the light of day.

write down literally every idea you

have that even sort of relates to the

scene/chapter/book that you want

to write until your thoughts

converge on a pointed attack.

3. quality vs. quantity? no competition.

quantity all the way. the more you write,

the better you will know your story.

worry about Quality LATER.

4. think about where the idea came

from. go there. set up a cardboard

box and live there. this

is your home now.

5. what is the coolest, most self-indulgent

thing you can think of? that's what you

want to write at this point, until you get

some steam. short-term goals, my friends.

and by short-term, i mean a minute from

now, ten seconds from now. what are you

going to do to write RIGHT NOW? stop

thinking about an hour from now, stop

thinking about. a day from now.

6. this is not a book. is not a book.

you are not writing a book. you are

writing a story. a story is much easier

to take bites out of than a book. a book

is a big, scary, colossal thing. stories

are fun and carefree.

7. get yourself a writing friend.

a cactus, an old bottle of nail

polish, a fish in an appropriately

sized tank, etc. make them hold

you accountable.

8. set crazy low goals. promise

yourself you will write ten words

today. ten words and you will

be the best writer in the entire

world to ever exist.

9. accomplishing things is a

morale booster and will

urge you to write more.

10. just keep writing. i believe in you.

i took my apush exam

today and i feel like my

head is going to explode.

like i'm just so glad it's over
