5 Tiny Writing Tips That Aren’t Talked About Enough (but work for me)

These are some lowkey underrated tips I’ve seen floating around writing communities — the kind that don’t get flashy attention but seriously changed how I write.

1. Put “he/she/they” at the start of the sentence less often.

Try switching up your sentence rhythm. Instead of

“She walked to the window,”

try

“The window creaked open under her touch.”

Keeps it fresh and stops the paragraph from sounding like a checklist.

2. Don’t describe everything — describe what matters.

Instead of listing every detail in a room, pick 2–3 objects that say something.

“A half-drunk mug of tea and a knife on the table”

sets a way stronger tone than

“There was a wooden table, two chairs, and a shelf.”

3. Use beats instead of dialogue tags sometimes.

Instead of:

"I'm fine," she said.

Try:

"I'm fine." She wiped her hands on her skirt.

It helps shows emotion, and movement.

4. Write your first draft like no one will ever read it.

No pressure. No perfection. Just vibes. The point of draft one is to exist. Let it be messy and weird — future you will thank you for at least something to edit.

5. When stuck, ask: “What’s the most fun thing that could happen next?”

Not logical. Not realistic. FUN. It doesn’t have to stay — but chasing excitement can blast through writer’s block and give you ideas you actually want to write.

What’s a tip that unexpectedly helped with your writing? Let me know!! 🍒

RULES:

How do I participate?

Create something related to the prompts and our OTP, upload it and enjoy that you created something.

But I can’t draw…

Don’t worry! There is so much more you can do!

Don’t worry! There is so much more you can do! All forms of media/art are allowed! Editing a video, writing a fanfiction, formulating a headcanon or an analysis. Drawing a fanart, editing a graphic or creating a moodboard. Recording an audio or a musical composition, creating a playlist of songs, getting your cosplay out or doing a photoshooting with some merch you own, maybe giving a recommendation to a fanart or fanfiction! Are you crafty? Create a small pattern, knit, crochet or embroider something. Just share your headcanons!

Don’t be shy with liking and reblogging each other’s work.

Will you reblog my work?

Heck yeah! Please use the hashtag #ZekinaWeek25 as the first tag or mention this blog in your description @tacosandtouchtanks

Why Zekina and not Zina?

Glad you asked, phantom person that I use as a stand-in! Zināʾ (زِنَاء) or zinah (زِنًى or زِنًا) is an Islamic legal term referring to unlawful sexual intercourse. (Wikipedia)

I think it would be disrespectful towards islamic peoples believes to use it as a ship name as well as considering the meaning “unlawful sex” of all kinds… I don’t think it would be a good ship name.

Meanwhile Zekina is only a name and surname in a couple of countries, so basically free for grabs! Let’s go with that!

Rules:

Everyone is welcome to participate.

This is an event to celebrate the romantic involvement of Tina and Zeke from the show Bob’s Burgers, but portrayals of them as friends are welcome too! (But no other ships with either of them.)

No reposting of other peoples work! (Sharing a link is fine, using graphics and scenes from the show is also fine.)

You do not need to have a tumblr blog to participate. However, if you are not blogging on tumblr and would like to see your work featured on this blog, I need you to submit it. (You can stay anonymous if you want to)

Sharing links to your works from other social media sites (Ao3, twitter, instagram) as a submission is absolutely fine

Don’t worry if you’re no native speaker. Use the language you feel most comfortable with!

(I don’t feel like it should have to be said but…) No bashing on other artists’ works or harassing others. Zeke and Tina would never approve of bullying, and neither will I.

Please help to spread the word with spreading this post.

Have fun! <3

Finding out AO3 that is down before the status accounts report about it feels like being the messenger in a fantasy movie, heavily injured and bloodied, running into the throne room and declaring the neighbouring kingdom has declared war on the king before collapsing from blood loss in a stunned silence

“Honestly, you guys are the only people I really like to hang out with.”

The entire point of creative spaces is to be CREATIVE. Using AI fully undermines this and puts these spaces at risk.

GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.

small reminder to everyone who is treated poorly for standing up for themselves,

your reactions to oppression, disrespect, or discrimination are not irrational,

you are not in the wrong for standing up for yourself and setting boundaries,

you are not bad for being angry at those who hurt you,

it is not rude to set boundaries,

you do not have to forgive,

it is okay to fight, resist, and rebel,

you do not owe kindness to those who do not treat you as human,

you do not have to kiss the boots that kick you.

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on
