Unconventional Writing Tips from My Many Years Of Serious™ Writing Experience

Write in bed. Just do it. It's cozy there.

Alternatively, write challenging scenes while standing up (i.e. with a standing desk or at a dresser).

You know that one tip about listening to Coconut Mall while doing schoolwork? Well, listen to Coconut Mall while writing on a deadline.

Run what you've written through text-to-speech (I usually just use Google Translate) so you don't have to read it aloud to check for mistakes.

Do personality quizzes in the POV of your characters, even silly Buzzfeed ones about which kind of pizza your personality represents.

For a story that takes place over a week or a month: make a timeline of what your MC does every day in the morning, afternoon, evening, and night. It helps put together those "missing pieces" in the narrative.

Make your characters in The Sims, as well as their houses.

Browse Subreddits related to themes in your story, or hobbies/interests of your characters.

From the Archives by GYREFUNK Old beat I made back in high school. Recorded a bird that was outside of my window. Was watching an old Bob Marley VHS tape. Had an old funk 45 on the turntable which happened to have a vocal intro in the same key. Pre-Serato days....lol! I still use vinyl tho.
