hi no dream just wondering how you got so awesome at writing. like genuinely is there a process. my one braincell is calling for me to write something really niche. i am quite literally probably the only person in the entire world capable of doing it it's that niche. the problem is i am not exactly known for my literary skills beyond crafting incredible road rage insults and using absurd phrasing😭😭
hey bestie !!! thank u for calling my writing awesome, i love the adjective awesome 🙂↕️🥹 we don't use it enough these days, i feel haha
genuinely i wish i could tell u there was a cut and dry process to learning how to write a certain way, but the truth is that you kind of just have to . Do it. KSNFKDNF like it's kind of scary and it prob won't come out the way u want it to the first, second, or maybe tenth time, but there is no way to write without Writing, if that makes sense. when i started, i was jack SHIT but i had ideas and a Vision™ (and crippling depression), and i loved writing for the sake of storytelling. overtime, i read a lot and i wrote a lot, and i just kept improving in my diction, flow, description, etc. my voice actually never really changed, it just... matured? or refined? as time went on. understanding how to pace or make things flow is just something u get w practice (it's a disappointing answer cuz i wish i could give u something more concrete, but i also love writing so much that the idea of writing practice is exciting to me lol)
i don't want this to come off as corny, but i think what's important is that you HAVE a story to tell, and it's something that u know only u can tell properly. that's LITERALLY the root of all writing processes actually !!! people have different methods of starting a piece ofc; for me, i start where it feels like i'll have the most motivation, whether it's the specific scene in my head (even if it's in the middle of a fic) or it's the opening line, like birds of prey "sir, they're planning to kill you."
and i mean, mayhaps u have an "absurd" way of stringing together words, but there is a strength to that. i feel compelled by the way you retell ur dreams to me—it just needs fleshing out, yk. description, narration, and dialogue can always be brightened, refreshed, and spiced-up w unique phrasing
THIS POST GOT LONG SORRY but tl;dr: don't think about the fact that it won't be polished off the bat. just write it!!! and fix it later ;))) im always here if u wanna talk more abt it or need help brainstorming or even figuring out how to articulate a thought into tangible words <33 much love and best of luck
