So much writing advice out there is geared toward the percentage of us who possess the ability to create intricate frameworks of plot, character arc and worldbuilding in the abstract, before our pens even hit the paper. (Or...fingers hit keyboard?) And much of that advice goes for all of us. But sometimes, it proves difficult to employ some of those tactics on the fly, when you're already knee-deep in discovery writing. 

I've found the chaos of discovery writing rather pleasurable and rewarding, and though I would never say I'm a perfect writer, I think I've found processes and hacks that help us pantsers accomplish the same storytelling feats as our more organized counterparts, but in our own way. If you'd be interested in hearing my thoughts on some of these topics, come on in!

Every genre of writing has its mindset and set of expectations. Genres are the tool for creativity and provide various perspectives to tell your story in different ways. Writing can make you to go into different worlds. . . . X x X About the creator x.villam One day, as I was scrolling through my music library, I stumbled upon a song that caught my attention. It was a very superficial pop-style music, but with an instrumental that was surprisingly pleasing to the ears. At first, I was hesitant to listen to it, as I usually preferred more meaningful and deep music. But then I thought to myself, why limit myself to just one genre? From that day on, I decided to open my ears to all kinds of music. I started exploring different genres, from Latin to rock, to country. It was quite amusing four my friends when they rode in my car and heard the music switch from one genre to another. I also started listening to music in other languages. I found that I enjoyed the sound of different languages and how they added a unique element to the music. Sometimes I would listen to songs that were bilingual, blending two languages seamlessly. I discovered a whole new world of music that I never knew existed. Each genre and language brought a different emotion and vibe, and I loved experiencing the diversity in music. It was like traveling around the world through music, discovering new cultures and sounds. So, what genres do you listen to? And what language do you like to listen to in music? Let's keep exploring and expanding our music horizons together. P.S This is a place with music and writing! If you follow me, I will follow you whenever I am active.

Do you find yourself writing he nodded, she shook her head, he shrugged, over and over again? It gets tedious, and doesn't help at all when it comes to pin pointing your character's actual emotions. So I've made a book using notes I've been collecting over a few years to help you chose an alternative way to show that your character is angry, or sad, etc, plus many other writing tips and resources. Doesn't, he blinked at his watch, read better than, he looked at his watch ? Doesn't, he slugged across the wet cement, read better than, he walked down the street slowly. Avoid the white room in your story and replace telling with showing to give your readers a much better experience. **** When Alice storms across the room instead of walks, we know she's angry. We're expecting suspense. We're waiting for the next action. Maybe she'l punch a wall? Shout at her friend? Much better than, Alice walked across the room angrily, which gives your reader nothing to imagine.
