I do mainly see writing as like a fun hobby i pursue when the impulse strikes me but i really do always want to improve! So because this is a blog im thinking about my writing goals for this current project:

Try to pull back and be more ambiguous when writing metaphors etc try not to state things so directly

Reduce the amount of like, buffer words, like she thinks or she feels. We’re in her pov we already know this is her thinking

Try to make my protagonist interesting without relying on her being funny (why didn’t I just write a funny protagonist?? what was I thinking!)

#while I can see the places my prose has improved since edge of seventeen im having a harder time seeing improvement since #so I’m trying to set goals for myself idk #like i do think that the load out was some of the best writing ive done in terms of craft. it was very unserious #not in a bad way! it was a ton of fun and I think it does what I set out to do really well! but it’s very much in my comfort zone #kids. music. humor. you know?#and I want to set goals that i can be conscious of while I’m writing and see if I can improve my prose that way #I think as of right now my writing-writing is sometimes awkward and often serviceable. and i want it to get… more subtle I guess #this is not fishing for compliments btw you do not have to reassure me that my writing is good or whatever #it’s just something I try to think about on my own #since I don’t have the time/seriousness to do a writing group or class or anything #anyway! stuff for me to work on!#while you were sleeping au
