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!! 🍒

I know I haven't been writing/posting much of anything for several months, but I just wanted to let you all know, my commissions are open, and they will most likely remain open for a while, I'm not taking requests, mostly because I'm busy with other things, but as I said, commissions take priority so I will make time to write them and post them ☺️

Here's the commissions rules if anyone is interested, and here's my Ko-fi~.

.

I'm trying to get back to writing but also need to earn money to be able to have more independence, and while I would love to just write out requests, I have not been feeling motivated enough to write anything unless I have to.

Anniversary

Suneater x male reader

I write this for someone so read if you want i guess but you are not that person

Warm fuzzy rays of light through the curtains, birds chirping as the sun is coming up and crisp Spring air outside making the bed only more comfortable.

Even so when you are entwined with someone. Tamaki stired first staring right at his lovely boyfriend, his cute curls framing his face and that little scrunched noise in his sleep.

Tamaki smiled and press soft kisses to his boyfriends noise.

"The sun is up"

(Reader) stired but only groaned annoyed pulling the blanket tighter.

"Its a Friday...we dont have to get up early..."

Tamaki chuckled and pressed more kisses all over his boyfriends face.

"Oh? But you know what day today is right? Or do i need to cancel my plans?"

More grumbles, (Reader) hugged Tamakis neck and pulled him back to cuddle.

"Does 5 more minutes in that plan truly ruin the whole day?"

"No...they dont", Tamaki whispered and kissed (Reader) properly.

"Nothing could ruin this day."

Gently Tamaki rubbed (Reaeder)s cheek and gazed at his boyfriend lightly dozing off again. Tamaki could only swoon how he got so lucky, to have the most sweetest and incredible boyfriend to ever exist.

"You truly are my weakness.", Tamaki whispered and cuddled back up to (Reader) "Dream some more about us my Love"

Some Minutes passed before Tamaki got out of bed. He knew (Reader) wouldnt get up anytime soon, so he went to the kitchen to get breakfast started.

The air filled with the smell of breakfast and the fresh air coming in through the windows.

Tamaki prepared everything and then got his boyfriend out of bed.

They both ate in a comfortable silence, only the birds outside chirping and a soft breeze in the trees.

It was a day just for them, so it was spend in time together and just being with each other.

They cuddled back up under the blankets and put on the most recent show.

"I wish every day was like this. Just us" Tamaki whispered against (Reader)s neck.

"You are my everything Angel. There was no greather thing then finding you."

(Reader) blushes with a big smile

"I love you too Tamaki"

A kiss to seal the promise of a perfect day. Spend to cherish having each other.

A feather for the stress

Hawks x male reader Reader is stressed from exams and Hawks is here to help his boyfriend

One more page or one more mock exam. Always a bit more because he needed to be ready. Needed that exams to be over so it got late. Way too late.

Hawks had the late shift patrols that stretched into the night and when he returned home, expecting his boyfriend to be in bed, only for him to still be awake and hunched over his text bokks.

Unamused he crosses his arms. "Oh? A little bird not in his nest? That´s not what I like to see at this hour."

Hawks gets barely agknowledged and he sighs.

"Need to do this the hard way i see."

Hawks picks up Reader against his protest. Falling onto the bed with him and crushing him beneath him.

"Hawks! Not funny i was almost..."

"I dont wanna hear anything of that. Rest is just as important for exams as learning. And it´s way past your bed time."

Hawks roles off of (Reader) and cuddles him close.

"So please Darling. Try to sleep now for me. Pretty please?"

(Reader) sighs but nuzzleds up against Hawks who in return covers them with his feathers.

"I will fly you to your exam so you get some extra time, Deal?"

"...Deal", (Reader) grumbles but swiftly falls alseep

Hawks chuckles and softly rubs their cheek.

"My amazing little Birdie. Rest now my Love"

He presses a kiss to their cheek and holds them close for a good rest before the looming exams

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Short little thing i had in mind. Hope it helps you Darling. You can rock those exams.

I'm so sorry I haven't been writing or posting anything in general is just...

The past four months have had more drama than my whole 22 years of life and I... I feel fucking dead inside.

I genuinely feel like I have no emotions left, I'm just empty. I've been getting busy with my studies again but... I'll see if I can write something, even if it's short and simple.

I'm sorry, everyone.

[mackjlee9]

i for one really like the paralyze fic and the effort you put into the mcs character development/revelation of heroism during the endeavor agency arc

and i appreciate that you do, sweetie, since i put too much time into developing paralyze as a character that is seperate from who bakugou is and sometimes, i just wanna focus on him, like his family life and his mental struggles, it brings me down and drains my motivation to keep it writing it when all people want to read is paralyze with bakugou as if they were attached at the hip and it bothers me to some extent :T

[mackjlee9]

People ask for paralyze update, and when I give them an update, someone complains about the content and that they wanted more with Katsuki -.-

Paralyze is more than just a fic about Bakugou y'all

[mackjlee9]

That moment when I read my own stuff and think "damn, this author should post more, they write so good" and I am like... I AM THAT AUTHOR HAHAHA

Sorry y'all I'll see when I can write and post sum it's been a hot minute

[mackjlee9]

Hey y'all, buckle up because you're about to go through a brief explanation of how stressed I've been since August lol

So... Lot of things have happened in few weeks 🙃🙃

Starting with how ya boi met a streamer while playing my hero ultra rumble

Ya boi became friends with that streamer

Ya boi developed a crush on that streamer

Said streamer confessed to ya boi about two weeks later

Ya boi began having doubts about him and got cold feet quite a few times

Ya boi messed up but streamer guy was nice

Ya boi was able to confront his mum and got permission to go out at his big age

Ya boi had his first date and first kiss

Ya boi definitely enjoyed the date despite all the insecurities going on inside his head

Ya boi was happy for a few days

And then...

Streamer guy became turning more and more distant

Ya boi started panicking and overthinking, however ya boi can't communicate properly and didn't say anything, causing stress and doubt to pile on his mind

About a week later, ya boi got heartbroken by streamer guy

So now ya boi has relationship trauma

If you were wondering why ya boi wasn't writing or just posting about his everyday life...

Now you know why 😃👍🏻

[mackjlee9]

Am I overthinking everything again...?

[mackjlee9]

I might do a kinktober next year...

If I'm still around lol

Lot of things can happen in a year :D
