[thewriteadviceforwriters]

Hello! I just found your blog and am very grateful there’s someone out there who’s trying to help people like me with my writing endeavours 🙏

I do have a question about plot I was hoping you might be able to help me with? Essentially, I know what I want my plot to be, but as I’m writing it out, I just can’t seem to make the story flow? Like I can write point 1 and I can write point 2, but u can’t connect them.

I don’t know if this makes sense. I’m sorry if it’s confusing 😅 But I’d appreciate any help, and thanks for reading this. Feel free to discard!! 💕💕

Sorry if this response was a bit late! Thank you for this question!!!

I'm so glad you stumbled upon my blog and that you're finding the content helpful. I promise, It's writers like you who inspire me to keep creating these resources. 💕

I totally understand the struggle with plot flow - it's one of the most common challenges new writers face. You don't need to worry, you're not alone in this! I've been there myself, especially with the projects I'm currently working on. and I'm happy to share some tips that might help you smooth out the tricky transition between your plot points.

First off, it's important to remember that a well-paced, cohesive plot doesn't just happen - it takes work to craft the "perfect" seamless narrative. But the good news is, there are some techniques you can use to bridge those gaps and keep your story moving forward in a natural way.

One thing to consider is your character's motivations and how they drive the plot forward. Ask yourself: What is my character's goal in this scene? What obstacles are they facing? How do those obstacles create tension and push the story onward? Grounding each plot point in your character's inner and outer journey can help you find those logical transitions.

It also might be helpful to take a step back and look at the bigger picture of your story. Try mapping out your major plot points on a timeline or outline. This can reveal areas where you might be missing crucial details or inciting incidents that would naturally lead from one point to the next. I've tried this multiple times and it really helped me.

And PLEASE don't be afraid to experiment! Try writing different versions of those tricky transitions - maybe your character reacts in an unexpected way, or an external event could shake up the status quo. Play around until you find an approach that feels organic and true to your story. Your story doesn't need to be linear, it can truly change however many times you want, especially during revision until you publish (if that's what you choose to do.)

Most importantly, be patient with yourself. Developing a compelling, well-structured plot takes time and practice. The more you write, the more you'll hone your skills and gain an instinct for pacing and flow. Pacing and flow is a really big issue for me. Sometimes it makes me even want to rewrite my entire draft. However, I make sure to know it's my world, my characters, and my story. I can change switch around any time I want.

I hope these suggestions give you a helpful starting point! Let me know if you have any other questions - I'm always happy to brainstorm and offer feedback. Wishing you all the best in your writing! 🙌 - Rin T

15 Writing Challenges to Strengthen Your Characters and Plots

Writing a compelling story isn’t just about crafting beautiful sentences—it’s about developing strong characters and dynamic plots that keep readers engaged. Whether you’re a pantser who thrives on spontaneity or a plotter who loves detailed outlines, these 15 writing challenges will help you push the boundaries of your creativity. Character Development Challenges 1. The Silent Scene…

The Art of Character Development: How to Breathe Life into Your Fiction

Welcome, Fellow Writers!

Are you ready to breathe life into your characters and have them leap from the page into the hearts of your readers? Good! Developing characters is one of the greatest enjoyments for writing fiction. So let's get started on this great journey of discovery!

1. Get to Know Your Characters

Before you write convincing characters, you need to really know them. Think of your characters as human beings with past histories, dreams, and flaws. Here are some ways to get to know them better:

Backstory:

What in their past has made them who they are?

Did they have a happy childhood?

Were there any traumatizing events?

This will often determine motivations and actions.

For example, if your character has been brought up in an orphanage, they may have trust issues or perhaps independence.

Personality Traits:

Are they introverted or extroverted, pessimistic or optimistic?

Knowing their core personality will help project what their actions and reactions would be like in a given set of circumstances.

Perhaps your protagonist, Emma, is an extroverted optimist who lights up a room with brightness, even in dire situations.

Strengths and Weaknesses:

Nobody is perfect, and your characters shouldn't be either.

Make the characters more human by giving them something both admirable and a flaw that rounds them out.

Emma can be wonderfully brave but very impulsive, leading her sometimes to heroism and other times to disastrous folly.

2. Establish Clear Goals and Motivation:

Characters need goals for the plot to have direction and motivations to explain why they pursue those goals. Ask yourself:

What do they want?

Their wants vary from saving the world to searching for love to achieving personal redemption.

Emily, a draftsman, aches to be a famous explorer, a dream her long-dead father never attained.

Why do they want it?

This can be found in their backstory and personality.

Perhaps Emma's father was an explorer who went missing on a wild search, and now she feels a deep need to carry on his legacy and find out what happened to him.

3. Show People, Activities, and Scenery

Dynamic characters tend to rebuild and alter throughout the story. This is often based on life's complications and conflicts. Here's how to effectively outline your character growth:

Conflict:

Put your characters in situations that push them as far as possible.

These challenges force them to make uncomfortable choices and face their flaws.

For example, Emma has to decide whether to save a friend, testing her bravery and impulsiveness.

Reactions:

Show how your characters react to these challenges.

Do they rise to the occasion, or do they struggle and fail? Both outcomes can lead to growth.

Emma might fail to save her friend due to her impulsive nature, marking a turning point for her.

Introspection:

Allow these moments of introspection to your characters.

They allow readers to understand the change in them.

Emma could sit near a bonfire and reflect on her father's legacy and how to become a better leader.

4. Cultivate Relationships

People's relationships with others often define their personality. It might be a friendship bond, family attachment, or enmity; all reveal different dimensions of personality and contribute to character development. Consider:

Allies and Friends:

Allies and friends usually have your best interest at heart, but sometimes they could work in opposition to you.

How would they impact your protagonist's decisions and developments over time?

Emma's best friend, Leo, might argue with a lot of her decisions, making her more thoughtful.

Opponents and Antagonists:

An antagonist challenges the characters, putting them in situations where growth comes from unexpected places.

A realistic rival for Emma could be a highly skilled but ruthless explorer who pushes Emma to reconsider her methods.

Love Interests:

Romantic relationships show vulnerability and may drive change.

Falling in love with a local guide might teach Emma the importance of patience and planning.

5. Use Dialogue Effectively

Dialogue is a great way to develop a character. It reveals personality, conveys emotions, and shows growth. Consider:

Voice:

Each character should have a distinct voice corresponding to their background, personality, and state of mind.

Emma might use exuberant, adventurous language while Leo might be cautious and thoughtful.

Subtext:

Sometimes the unspoken part holds more meaning than what is said.

Use subtext to add depth to your dialogue.

For instance, when Emma says, "I don't need help," it could mean she's afraid of showing weakness.

Conflict and Resolution:

Show characters responding to conflict through dialogue and illustrate how interactions escalate.

Emma and Leo can argue about the best way forward, expressing their viewpoints and eventually finding a resolution.

6. Show, Don't Tell

Instead of telling readers about a character's trait, show it through actions, dialogue, and inner thoughts. For instance:

Telling: John was brave.

Showing: John entered the dark alley; his heart was pounding, but his will remained unflinching.

7. Ensure Consistency and Believability

Make sure your characters act within the line of their personalities and motivations. If they do something that feels unnatural, believe there are reasons for the change. This makes the development of the characters organic and reliable. If Emma becomes reserved, note the experiences that lead to the change.

8. Reflect Real Human Experience

Great characters reflect the complexity of real human experience. They have doubts, make mistakes, and aren't always likable. This complexity makes them richer and more engaging. Perhaps Emma makes a selfish decision that puts her team at risk, creating tension and growth.

9. Foils and Contrasts

Foils are characters set against your main character, highlighting their traits and growth. By setting a character with opposite traits next to the protagonist, you highlight their development. Zara's ruthlessness can highlight Emma's growing sense of responsibility and ethics.

10. Be Flexible

Sometimes your characters develop in unexpected ways. Allow this evolution and let your characters tell you who they are. This elasticity can lead to more authentic and surprising growth. If Emma's journey shifts from being an explorer to a leader, embrace it!

Restless: What is it About?

A Quick Summary

I guess I should mention what the hell Restless is about, since I restarted my Tumblr.

Restless is the story of Adam James Carter, a 17-year-old trying to survive in a world that’s done everything it can to break him. Adam’s been through hell—he’s lost his father, watched his mother’s murder, and is haunted by the things he’s had to do to stay alive. But his story isn’t just about tragedy; it’s about how far someone will go when pushed to their limits.

At the center of it all is Adam’s alter ego, the "Silver Serpent." It’s not a superhero identity or some cool nickname he picked—it’s a name tied to the choices he’s made and the reputation he’s built. He leaves behind a calling card, a sleek black one with a silver serpent, as if to say, “This was me. Remember that.” And the weapon he uses? A silver flute, passed down from his grandfather, that hides a blade—because why wouldn’t it?

The story kicks off with Adam reflecting on a murder he committed—not because he wanted to, but because he had to. Andy, Sal, and Cal weren’t just bullies—they killed Adam’s mom right in front of him. His response wasn’t calculated or clean; it was survival. But now he’s facing the aftermath: court cases, questions of self-defense, and a society that’s quick to judge.

Restless doesn’t just stick with Adam’s perspective, though. It dives into his relationships with the people around him—his friends Ryan, Carry, and Drea, who’ve seen him at his best and worst. There’s also Detective Daniel Warren, a guy determined to figure out the truth about Adam. Warren’s not just a bystander, either—he’s writing a book called Restless about Adam’s life, giving us an outside look at everything going on.

There’s more to the story, too—a shadowy group (maybe a cult, maybe a secret society—I’m still figuring that out), Adam’s struggles to claim his mom’s life insurance, and some rewrites on characters like Richard Dickinson (a spoiled rich kid who loves stirring up chaos).

At its heart, Restless is about a kid who’s been dealt a terrible hand, fighting to figure out who he is and what’s right in a world that keeps trying to take him down. It’s messy, dark, and complicated—because life doesn’t always make sense, and Adam’s just trying to survive it.

Whether you're a novice or a seasoned writer, the path to honing your craft involves a combination of continuous learning, practice, feedback, and a touch of technology. Let's explore how you can enhance your writing skills and elevate your craft to new heights. Understanding the Craft: A Foundation Defining Writing Craft At its core, writing craft encompasses the skills and techniques that transform words into compelling narratives. It involves mastering the art of storytelling, refining language use, and creating a unique voice that resonates with readers. Recognizing the Importance Understanding the importance of writing craft is the first step towards improvement. A well-crafted piece not only captures attention but also leaves a lasting impact. It's the difference between ordinary writing and a literary work of art. Continuous Learning: A Writer's Best Tool Reading Widely and Actively One of the most effective ways to enhance your writing craft is by reading extensively. Immerse yourself in a variety of genres, paying attention to different writing styles. Actively engage with the material, dissecting what works and why. Analyzing Diverse Writing Styles Explore authors with diverse writing styles. Analyze how they craft sentences, develop characters, and build tension. Extract elements that resonate with you and consider how you can incorporate them into your own writing. The Power of Practice: Sharpening Your Skills Daily Writing Exercises Crafting your writing skills is a muscle that requires regular exercise. Dedicate time to daily writing exercises. These can be prompts, free writing sessions, or focused challenges that push your creative boundaries. Setting Realistic Writing Goals Set achievable writing goals to foster a sense of accomplishment. Whether it's a word count, completing a chapter, or experimenting with a new writing style, realistic goals keep you motivated and consistently improving. Seeking Feedback: A Writer's Growth Catalyst Embracing Constructive Criticism Constructive criticism is a valuable tool for improvement. Seek feedback from peers, writing groups, or mentors. Embrace constructive criticism as a means to identify areas for growth and refine your craft. Building a Trusted Writing Community Surround yourself with a supportive writing community. Share your work, engage in discussions, and learn from others. A community provides encouragement, diverse perspectives, and a network for constructive feedback. Grammar and Style: Refining the Basics Polishing Grammar Skills Strong grammar forms the backbone of effective writing. Regularly revisit grammar rules, punctuation, and sentence structure. Tools like Grammarly can assist in identifying and correcting common errors. Developing a Unique Writing Style Your writing style is your literary fingerprint. Develop a style that reflects your personality and resonates with readers. Experiment with tone, rhythm, and figurative language to create a distinctive voice. Exploring Different Genres: A Writing Adventure Venturing Beyond Comfort Zones Challenge yourself by exploring different genres. Whether it's fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or creative essays, each genre offers unique challenges that contribute to your overall writing versatility. Adapting Techniques for Varied Genres Recognize that each genre has its own set of conventions. Adapt your craft techniques to suit the requirements of the genre you're exploring. This adaptability enhances your ability to connect with diverse audiences. Embracing Technology: Writing in the Digital Age Utilizing Writing Apps and Tools In the digital age, leverage writing apps and tools to streamline your process. Scrivener, Evernote, and Google Docs are examples of tools that enhance organization, collaboration, and efficiency in your writing. Balancing Technology with Traditional Methods While technology is a boon, balance it with traditional methods. Nothing beats the tactile experience of jotting down ideas in a notebook or immersing yourself in a printed book. A hybrid approach keeps your writing experience well-rounded. Time Management: Carving Out Writing Moments Creating a Writing Schedule Effective time management is crucial for writing improvement. Establish a writing schedule that aligns with your peak creative hours. Consistency is key to steady progress. Maximizing Productivity in Short Bursts Not every writing session needs to be lengthy. Maximize productivity by utilizing short bursts of focused writing. Quality often surpasses quantity in the world of writing. Mindfulness in Writing: Cultivating Creativity The Role of Mindfulness Practices Incorporate mindfulness practices into your writing routine. Techniques like meditation or mindful writing exercises can enhance focus, spark creativity, and alleviate writing blocks. Nurturing a Creative Mindset Cultivate a creative mindset by embracing curiosity. Allow your mind to wander, explore unconventional ideas, and find inspiration in the world around you. A curious mind fuels creative expression. Networking and Collaboration: Writing Beyond Solitude Connecting with Fellow Writers Networking with fellow writers opens doors to opportunities for collaboration, feedback, and shared experiences. Attend writing events, join online forums, and participate in writing communities to expand your network. Collaborative Writing Projects Engage in collaborative writing projects to stretch your creative boundaries. Collaborations provide exposure to different perspectives and writing styles, fostering growth in your craft. Editing and Revising: The Art of Refinement The Importance of Multiple Drafts Writing is rewriting. Embrace the iterative process of multiple drafts. Each revision refines your work, allowing you to uncover hidden gems and polish rough edges. Effective Self-Editing Techniques Develop effective self-editing skills. Distance yourself from your work before revisiting it. Focus on clarity, coherence, and the overall impact of your writing. Tools like ProWritingAid can aid in systematic self-editing. SEO Integration: Balancing Creativity with Visibility Incorporating Keywords Naturally For writers in the digital landscape, SEO is a consideration. Integrate keywords naturally into your content, ensuring a seamless blend with your writing. Tools like Yoast SEO can guide you in optimizing your content. Writing Engaging Meta Descriptions Craft meta descriptions that not only enhance SEO but also entice readers. A well-crafted meta description serves as a compelling preview, inviting readers to delve into your content. Measuring Progress: Tracking Writing Success Setting Milestones Establish writing milestones to track your progress. Whether it's completing a manuscript, reaching a specific word count, or getting published, milestones provide a tangible sense of achievement. Utilizing Analytics Tools In the digital era, analytics tools offer insights into reader behavior. Use tools like Google Analytics to understand audience engagement, popular content, and areas for improvement. Conclusion Improving your writing craft is a dynamic journey that requires a blend of passion, dedication, and adaptability. Embrace the continuous learning process, experiment with different techniques, and find joy in the evolution of your craft. Remember, the journey itself is as valuable as the destination. FAQs About Improving Writing Craft Can anyone become a skilled writer with practice, or is it an innate talent? Writing, like any skill, can be honed with practice. While some may have a natural inclination, consistent effort and dedication can transform anyone into a skilled writer. How can I overcome writer's block when trying to improve my writing craft? Writer's block is common. Try changing your writing environment, taking short breaks, or engaging in writing prompts to spark creativity. Experiment with different techniques to find what works best for you. Is it necessary to invest in writing courses to improve my craft, or can self-learning be equally effective? Both options are valid. Writing courses offer structured learning, but self-learning through reading, practice, and seeking feedback can be equally effective. Choose the approach that aligns with your learning style and goals. What role does patience play in improving writing craft, and how long does it take to see significant improvement? Patience is crucial in the writing journey. Improvement is gradual, and the timeline varies for each writer. Consistent effort over time, coupled with a willingness to learn and adapt, yields significant progress. How can I balance the need for SEO optimization with maintaining the creativity and authenticity of my writing? Balancing SEO and creativity involves integrating keywords naturally, writing engaging meta descriptions, and prioritizing reader experience. Aim for a harmonious blend where SEO enhances visibility without compromising the authenticity of your writing.   Read the full article

How World Building Helped Me

In the world of fiction, settings serve as the canvas upon which the author can paint the story. They aren't just mere physical locations; they are living, breathing entities that contribute to the narrative's atmosphere, themes, and overall impact. They do not exist in real life - only in the narrative of the author who created them. Thus, they have a deeper meaning to them. The beauty of cultural diversity is its ability to shape these settings, infusing them with unique traditions, beliefs, and ways of life that transport the readers to unfamiliar yet captivating worlds.

Let's imagine a fictional village somewhere in the Himalayas. In this village, the reader can be transported to a place where the majestic peaks of the mountains loom in the distance, and the colorful prayer flags flutter in the crisp air. Harmony manifested itself with an architectural blend of wood and stone, adorned with intricate carvings that tell the stories of generations past. The inhabitants, dressed in traditional clothing, gather at the central square for a vibrant festival celebrating their cultural heritage. The atmosphere is quiet and one can hear the soothing chirping of birds.

It is important to note here that introducing a certain fictional character adds extra depth to the context. It becomes easier to understand cultural diversity through the eyes of people who practice these cultures.

Here, the influence of diversity is profound. The setting becomes a character in itself, influencing the entire plot and the interactions of the story's protagonists. The tranquility of the Himalayan backdrop sets a different tone compared to the hustle and bustle of a crowded city. The cultural context of this environment shapes the characters' daily lives, their values, and the challenges they face. By introducing certain elements in the piece of writing, the reader can become accustomed to the new setting just by using his imagination.

Some fictional characters from certain settings are sometimes introduced to other ones. That creates an opportunity for the writer to explore the cross-cultural exchange. Let's assume that a tourist from a metropolitan city visits the Himalayan village. That introduction can open many doors to a wider and richer narrative. The interactions between the tourist and the villagers can further highlight the description of the setting.

The cultural diversity embedded in the setting enriches the story's themes and messages. Whether it's a tale of love, resilience, or self-discovery, the cultural landscape becomes an integral part of the narrative. Readers are not only involved in the plot but also gain a deeper portrayal of the cultural values that shape the characters' lives. This immersion allows readers to appreciate and connect with the cultural elements, fostering empathy and curiosity about worlds they might not have encountered otherwise. After all, the Himalayan village on paper doesn't have to completely resemble the real villages in the Himalayan mountains. However, certain rules have to be respected to maintain the authenticity of the setting.

The setting's cultural authenticity is paramount. Any author must embark on research journeys, read books by authors from the culture they're portraying, and engage in conversations with individuals from that culture - if possible. This dedication to accuracy ensures that the setting doesn't fall into the trap of stereotypes or misrepresentations but instead becomes a window into a unique world that readers can explore and respect.

In essence, world-building is the medium where the magic of cultural diversity truly shines in fiction writing. It's where the pages come alive with the colors, sounds, and stories of different cultures. These settings aren't just backdrops; they are vehicles for cultural exploration, understanding, and appreciation. The next time you lose yourself in a novel set in a far-off land, remember that you're not just reading a story—you're embarking on a journey into the heart of a different culture, and in doing so, you're expanding your own horizons as well.

The Role of Backstory in Your Story

What makes characters feel real, complex, and engaging? What drives them to act, to change, and to develop throughout a story? The answer lies in their backstory. But, how crucial is backstory to your narrative, and how can you weave it into your story effectively? The Importance of Backstory The backstory is the history and background of your characters before the start of the main narrative.…

My (destiel related) thoughts on Supernatural season 10 episode 7 (Girls, girls, girls)

1. Let's just start with the fact that it's been a really really long time since we've seen Dean hook up with anyone. Like probably multiple seasons, but I might be wrong. Also, I do remember him having the intention around season 8-9is but something happened and he didn't.

Now, in this episode he is on a dating app, looking for something casual. I'm not going to lie, I was surprised because this side of him wasn't present in the show anymore. Later on, when we see that the girl is related to demons it makes sense, Dean wanting a hookup was necessary for the plot. Ofc it is part of who Dean is was but still, it seems to me that it was more of a plot thing than a Dean thing.

But if I look at it from a non-plotdeveloping perspective, I can't help but connect it to the Fan fiction (s10e05) episode. That's the episode Dean finds out about Destiel. This alone deserves a whole different conversation that I'm not going to get into rn. If that is when Dean realizes that there is something happening between him and Castiel and he tries to deny it, then the obvious thing for him to do is try to hook up with someone a woman. For the first time in a really long time. (Denial is a river in Egypt...)

2. We see Castiel in a motel with Hannah who takes off her clothes right in front of him and Castiel looks uncomfortable (I can't decide which kind of uncomfortable tbh) and then the scene cuts to a motel from the outside (which could be Castiel's motel) and then we see Dean being pushed up against the wall (of a motel room) by the hooker.

This is an interesting scene sequence because clearly there is nudity around Castiel and then we see Dean in a sexual context but the scenes aren't separated harshly. The locations and the overall theme is the same. The outside shot of the motel between the scenes only adds to it -instead of separating them- because Castiel was already in one, so it's not a clear transition to the one Dean's in as we don't even know Dean is in a motel at that point. So basically Castiel looking at a naked woman (who is his sister btw so what even was that) is directly connected to Dean hooking up with a woman.

The tv show Hannibal has a similar scene, where it cuts between Will having sex with a woman and a scene with Hannibal (I'm not sure i remember it correctly, but it's something along these lines so please look it up if you're interested.) Only in that show, it's a more obvious thing, with multiple cuts between the scenes.

RESPECT POWER: Writing Overpowered Characters the RIGHT way

Are you strongest because you’re the Strongest? Or are you Satoru Gojo because you're Satoru Gojo? Or whatever it was that he said.

Many of us wonder how to tackle the idea of creating extremely powerful characters, and as you all know, with great power comes great responsibility.

The responsibility, however, isn't just reserved for the character, but it falls upon the shoulders of the writers' themselves to give great care toward fleshing out the story of an OVERPOWERED character and balancing both their strengths and weaknesses.

This is extremely critical, as the way with which their power element presents will decide how others will react when faced with its presence, and if they’ll cower with fear, be charged with the obligation to overthrow the forces that be, or become a worthy ally.

If you're interested in learning about some of the mistakes I made when creating my own original "broken characters' and some mistakes I want to help others avoid, here is a more thorough analysis of my breakdown, involving some of my favorite characters (Jin Sakai, Kratos, All might, Madara, and Gojo (<---except him), https://youtu.be/5VQPzJ7KIW4
