#rita somethingboring

there’s a post going around with writing advice that is basically, “print out your first draft and retype it in a new document.” Sort of re-digesting it like that really helps me identify what’s bothering me; maybe that will help?

or if it’s more structural, try talking out the plot with someone, maybe, even if just a rubber ducky, stuffed animal, or chair, to get the words into the open.

Publish it? Honestly I lile everything you write so I think it could be awesome even if it was just your grocery list(???)

Ahh, thank you guys :)

@anefi I think that’s some sound advice. Sometimes I do something similar to that: I’ll close out of the doc on my laptop and go start rewriting it from memory on my iPad. Usually the iPad version will be better. Idk what it is about writing fic on my iPad, but it tends to turn out better than if I type it on my laptop. Maybe because the iPad forces me to type a little more slowly, but I’m not sure. 

thank you
