im hurting when you asked for advice, i sent like 2-3 paragraphs and wattpad made it unsend (and i forgot you can’t copy and paste on this God forsaken app so i’ll just give you a brief summary of what i said!)
dont pressure yourself! putting pressure on your own self or other people putting pressure on you can lead to burning out (and writers block). use inspiration, have fun when you do it! do NOT stress yourself out over it. dont force yourself to write 30trillion pages in one sitting… just have fun, writing is what you make it! you don’t have to pick just one niche, you can write about multiple things! like for example, you don’t have to just stick with jjk, write whatever you wanna write! even if it’s your own story with your own oc’s, do it! correct your grammar but don’t be too strict on it. i personally wouldn’t recommend using the same word too many times - example - “pleasure”. you might get tired of using it and it might seem repetitive so switch it up a bit. look up “____ synonymous” or “synonymous for ____”.
dont get too far in your writing that you fall behind irl, please don’t burn yourself out. burnouts happen before you can even realize it tbh. take breaks, dont ever pressure yourself. try not to get too caught up into how many people read your story, for me personally, the more i saw those normals go up, the more i kinda started pressuring myself. i was like “oh, they enjoy my content, time to make more”. don’t let the numbers dictate when it’s time to write.
also if/whenever your book does come out, i’ll be happy to read! - no pressure.
