I just finished writing my third chapter, working on my fourth and damn I feel great. Side note I should split these up into smaller chapters, we are at like 26,000 words- pretty heavy for 3 chapters, no? Pacing pacing pacing- I can never get it right

Interesting Ways to Kill Your Darlings — Pt.1
1) Sacrifice. Either by their own means or against their will. Either way, their death saves thousands of lives, OR... maybe their sacrifice does the opposite and ends up killing thousands, but they died thinking they left a positive impact.
2) Stabbed in the back by the one guy everyone told them not to trust, but they decided to trust anyway because “there’s still good in him.”
3) After surviving a very dangerous event in your book, they die afterwards from something minor or a wound that they’ve been concealing.
4) They’re being mind controlled by the enemy, so they beg their allies to kill them before they do something bad. Or they already did that bad thing and have to be killed after creating an upset. This makes a bad event even worse.
5) Give them an “Achilles heel” — a single weakness that ends up being their downfall.
6) They die by their worst fear (ex. drowning if they’re afraid of deep water.) This could end up haunting and affecting the other characters deeply.
7) Consider killing them in the middle of their character arc. An abrupt, sudden death that leaves their story unfinished. Was the bad guy just about to be redeemed? Did the shy hermit finally gain enough courage go on an adventure, only to die before reaching the end?
8) Give them an ironic death. The champion is killed by accidentally tripping. The dragon rider is eaten by one of his dragons.

I love my stupid frigging characters and their bullshit lol. Never a dull moment with them all and the way they bounce off each other. I just have to remember to reel it into and stay somewhat grounded in the story and stakes and not let my goofy cartoonish interactions take over
Just waiting for the creative flare to smash through my window and punch genius into me this morning idk.
Writing one of my favorite characters to be super punchable for an extended period of time before redeeming themselves because I love being contrarian like that

Been a minute since I've posted- sort of slowed down in my writing, maybe I'm overthinking it but I'm just trying to be neat and do some good quality editing as we move into chapter 4! Stay tuned and if you're reading, keep reading!
Huge fan of the “just make it exist- then make it look good” trend on TikTok because it is so true for writing too.
The writers block practically disappears when you’ve already made an outline of your trajectory and are now simply forcing yourself put sentences together that get you from plot point to plot point no matter how dumb they are. Truly the magic is in saying “f#ck it what are first drafts for?” And proceeding to write your little cringey heart out with reckless abandon and total indifference to the sheer amount of it that will be rewritten or straight up cut out entirely on your editing sessions.
Of course if you write your entire book that way and never do your editing phases- yeah the plot is going to be really chaotic and improvised- but if you go with the flow on short bursts and then clean them up- you’ll see how quickly it flies by.
Im by no means some kind of pro of course! But after 20k words into my novel it’s definitely what has helped me pick up the pace like crazy! That and reading. I haven’t read this much since like middle school and I had way more time on my hands then!
This is your reminder that you HAVE to be well-read to be well-written. You MUST diversify your pallet and read a large variety of things to refine your abilities if you have any intention to write something of inspirational and timeless quality. Read the classics if you want your story to survive a few years of change, as these are the books that have stood the test of time. Regardless of genre or setting, seek famously good books who have remained beloved for more than the last five years. It is tempting to read the trendy stuff filling the shelves today, but taking creative inspiration from already derivative and repetitive works will only water down the originality of what you create as well. That is not to say that all of contemporary literature is worthless swill, but if it is your only material for your own works, you're will be closer to that than theirs was, due to a lack of refreshing ideas. So read a huge variety, with a focus on the greats, and then make something of your own that both builds on their strengths, and exceeds their weaknesses.
