Indiana Writing Project

Happy Friday!

Watch TV and movies like a writer. Pay attention to what makes you like a show/movie and what makes you not like it. Some of the best storytelling comes from television and films. #ThursdayTips

Where do you like to write and is it an effective place?

“If you do not hear music in your words, you have put too much thought into your writing and not enough heart.” – Terry Brooks #MotivationMonday

Happy Friday!

Be true to yourself. The best writing comes from when you are writing for yourself. Writing is the most effective when you write honestly and about what you think and believe.

The only WRITER to whom you should compare yourself to is the WRITER you were yesterday. #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity #WritersCafe

What can you write about that no one else can?

Remind yourself the reason WHY you are writing. Don’t write because it is for a grade. Don’t write because someone told you to. Write because you enjoy it. Write because you have something to say. #MotivationMonday

Happy Friday!

Write what is obvious to you, but invisible to others. scribemedia.com/writing-tips-a…
