Writing Education

Ok, so I read a lot of writing advice and tips stuff. I thought it might be interesting to talk about how to improve what we do every day here on SARP. So here are nine tips from a video I watched recently.

Tip 1: Write history of objects
So I think this one is interesting and something we should think about more.

Tip 2: pause in the thick of action
I'm not 100% on this one as it can murder your pacing.

Tip 3: Write a dairy of inner of characters
This can be a fun exercise in letting our characters just think about stuff and get in their heads.

Tip 4: take key scene write it with only dialog
I think you might also want to try this with only description as well.

Tip 5: rewrite a scene from the perspective all characters in the scene
This is an interesting one, especially for a event that is going to have a lot of different perspectives on it.

Tip 6: ground your story in key players, motivations, and outcomes.
Goal, Motivation, and Conflict are pretty important.

Tip 7: cut at climactic moment
Again, I'm not 100% on this as it seems like it can kill your pacing.

Tip 8: add culture, recipes and shit.
This is a lot of what we do, and we should do it more.

Tip 9: different perspectives
Like from an object in the scene or a personification of death.
