I genuinely hope American media sucks for a while! I hope the big companies keep trying to churn out shit and that it’s all embarrassing garbage! I want it to be extremely apparent to everyone how important the writers and actors are to create good media and that they deserve to be compensated appropriately!!!

ways to start writing more efficiently

  • stop writing with the word count on!
  • use a font like comic sans -- trick your brain into thinking that it's not important, that the writing can be stupid, if it's in a stupid font (if you can't tell i despise comic sans)
  • time yourself to get to a goal
  • or give yourself a certain amount of time
  • quantity >> quality in the first draft(s)!
  • jot down what you want to happen in that chapter
  • try organizing your writing (nanowrimo, for example)
  • do *not* reread! it doesn't need to make sense, it just needs to be there
  • try not to stick yourself to something you saw on tumblr. what works for someone else doesn't necessarily work for you!
  • take breaks. time those breaks.
  • practice writing short stories / oneshots of your characters.
  • try getting all your writing done within a certain goal (as much as I can for 30 minutes) rather than writing 5 minutes on or off
  • write down every little wormy idea that comes into your brain! sure, it's probably for a different plot, but maybe you can work it in somehow?
  • on that note, mash elements of your plots together rather than starting a whole new story
  • see maybe what little writing competitions you can submit your work to
  • proclaim your goal to the wide web for some peer pressure
  • rewards yourself. cheer on every thousand-word milestone. brag to your friends that you've written something, anything.
  • don't think of the big goal—don't think of publishing, or posting, etc. think of the end of your chapter, the development of your character, where it goes.
  • switch your writing environment! where are you most productive?
  • make a playlist only for when you write. never for anything else.
  • getting off tumblr, probably.
  • have people remind you of your goals.
  • remember that it all comes with discipline, but also your mental health is the most important!! don't sacrifice half your sleep to meet your nanowrimo goals. try to recognize when it's taking you too long and close the document. do something else. come back later.
  • take care of yourself. <3 use this post as a breather (or reminder to start!)
