I should probably start actually writing instead of just reblogging about writing. I haven’t done any creative writing since NaNoWriMo 2009….and I’m a freaking English major. The most I’ve done is journalling and papers. My sister did a creative writing independent study last semester, as a freshman in high school. And she’s brilliant—her stuff is beautiful. I’m jealous. I need to start writing again.

I made my own planner (actually it’s more like a daily list thing) because I feel like it. I’ll make a nicer version next year then sell it :D

There are different rules for reading, for thinking, and for talking. Writing blends all three of them.

Being so honest in my writing is cathartic.

Don’t write what you know—what you know may bore you, and thus bore your readers. Write about what interests you—and interests you deeply—and your readers will catch fire at your words.

As an English major, this is possibly the best thing I’ve ever Stumbled Upon :))

You can teach almost anyone determined to learn them the basics required to write sentences and paragraphs that say what you want them to say clearly and concisely. It’s far more difficult to get people to think like a writer, to give up conventional habits of mind and emotion. You must be able to step inside your character’s skin, and at the same time to remain outside the dicey circumstances you have maneuvered her into.
