If you're writing a first draft and find yourself intimidated by published work, here's a quick reminder that what you're reading has likely been revised and polished many times. It may have once looked like yours. Don't give up.

Reading published work as a reader is very “oh this is so easy” but analyzing it as a writer I’m like ???pic.twitter.com/dKKgfTrNPb

Haha YES I feel this. Also that GIF carries so much weight. I feel like my first draft is a bad taxidermy, and everything I read is on safari.

For me, writing is a constant process of writing something then looking the words up to make sure I’m getting the context right.

Yes! In particular, I'm always looking up words I'm *pretty* sure I've learned contextually just in case I've been getting it wrong all this time -- often really basic stuff. And I'm like... I hope nobody sees my search history, haha. Writing credibility in the BIN.

My process is also very much writing the thing then doing a CTRL + F for every single mention of eyes, gaze and glance because holy shit, I can't stop using them.

Hahaha. I have a terrible habit of relying on commas instead of concise sentences. I also forget the rules for paragraphs and dialogue because game writing is so different from book writing
I get too much into research and terminology.1 odpowiedź 0 podanych dalej 0 polubionych
Honestly, I'm all for a comma-fuelled meandering sentence! Yeah, if I work on scripts too long I forget how to write prose, haha. Everything becomes very... mechanical? Functional. Like, wut is 'metaphor' lol
