How To Introduce Characters With A Bang
Character introduction sets the tone for how readers view your MC for the rest of the story. It's the starting point by which they'll measure everything else that happens. One way to nail this is to reveal character by giving a snapshot of their environment. Where do they spend the most time? Why? What does that say about them? #writers #write #writingtips #writinganovel #bookwriting #writinginspiration #thewriteen #characterdevelopment #creativewriting #howtointroducecharacters #novel #book
Things We Don't Tell Writers Enough (pt. 5)
Writers, pace yourself. Writing (and publishing) faster doesn't guarantee success. In fact, it can really hurt you if your story is undercooked. Make sure you do yourself and your story justice by slowing down and putting in the time. #thewriteen #writers #write #writingtips #writingastory #writinganovel #storytelling #bookwriting #creativewriting #writingmotivation #writinginspiration #novelwriting #writinghelp #thingswedonttellwritersenough
How To Write The Hook Of Your Story
The hook is your first and often last chance to make an impression strong enough to make readers turn the page. It doesn't have to be dramatic but it has to raise questions. One way to do this is by revealing the end from the get go. It won't work for every story so beware. But it's a great way to get readers invested. #writers #write #writingtips #writinganovel #bookwriting #writinginspiration #thewriteen #storytelling #fictionwriting #characterdevelopment #creativewriting #howtowritethehook
How To Write The Hook Of Your Story (pt.2)
To hook readers, you have to give them something to be excited about. You don't want to give away all the goodies. But share as much as you can without giving the story away so readers can anticipate what will come next. Do this by flaunting the best elements of your story. It could be a magical MC, friend groups, or the promise of love. Whatever makes your story special. #writers #write #writingtips #writinganovel #bookwriting #writinginspiration #thewriteen #creativewriting #howtowritethehook
How To Introduce Characters With A Bang (pt.2)
Begin your story with a MC whose voice makes readers feel like they know what they are talking about and what they have to say is important. This way, they'll want to keep turning the page. How do you do this? Turn the volume all the way up. It's not enough to have a personality it has to show through every word, every joke, etc. #writers #write #writingtips #writinganovel #bookwriting #writinginspiration #thewriteen #characterdevelopment #creativewriting #howtointroducecharacters #novel #book

How To Show A Character Falling In Love (pt.3)
A character in love wants to be around their person all the time. They can never get enough! Especially in the infatuation stage. So make them come up with ways to close the gap between them and their special one. Be creative with this! I'm low key tired of the one bed trope. Do something fresh and make it silly (if it fits the story/their personality). #characterdevelopment #fallinginlove #writinganovel #bookwriting #thewriteen #writinginspiration #writingtips #romance #romancetips
