Slugging through #campnanowrimo or just drafting in general? Here are some unsolicited tips from yours truly 🧵
1. The BIGGEST tip I have is to write in multiple sessions throughout the day. I know this isn’t always possible & everyone’s schedule is different, but as someone who does most writing in the evening, doing a writing sprints during my lunch break has been game changing!
2. Writing 👏 Sprints 👏 If you are like me, my writing can stagnate because I keep doubting myself & the story. Sprints force you to *do* not think, and you’d be surprised how well it can jumpstart your brain.
3. INDULGE. Writing is all about telling yourself the story, and having fun with it. Stuck? Add a scene with your favorite trope, over-describe things. Go on world building tangents. You can cut it later! And you never know, your indulgence might make it past revisions 😌
4. Don’t be afraid to step back from your draft if you need. Some of my best writing days come after small breaks in writing. This is fine! This is healthy! Refill your creative well 💜
