Re: Writing tips

[(Anonymous)]

1. There is no one-size-fits-all Process. Some people pants. Some people outline. Some do some unholy amalgam of both. None of these methods is Objectively Wrong. Experiment with process, find out what works for you, and realize that "what works for you" can not only change over time, but even change back and forth depending on what you're working on.

2. Don't chase the trend. Be the trend. If you're chasing a trend and planning on getting published the old-fashioned way with an agent and a Big Six contract (ahaha), then the trend that you're chasing will be three to four years out of date by the time your Awesome Book is actually published. Write what you love and create your own damn trend.

3. Realize that not everyone is going to love your stories, and that's okay. Go look at the one-star reviews for your favorite books on Amazon. Stop trying to please people who aren't your audience and concentrate your efforts on pleasing yourself. If you love your story, there are other people out there who will love it too. But if you love writing (for example) vampire fiction, don't worry about people who hate vampire fiction, because who cares what they think anyway?

3a. Grow rhino skin. Because sometimes people who are not your audience will review your book anyway, and they can be mean. But, see above: Who cares what they think? But for the love of God, don't reply, because no one wants to look like Anne Rice.

Write what you love. Fuck the haters.
