so i've seen a few posts about writing dialogue and more general writing tips on tumblr, and have gotten asks when i've done writer/writing ask memes that often bring up things like writing advice, and so it's been something i come back to every now and then, even tho i also think i'm pretty bad at giving writing advice in general. part of this is because i have almost never vocalized my writing process in any way. another part is that, while i've taken a handful of classes (in high school and college) on creative writing, i'm not very good at keeping any kind of technical terminology in my head, so talking about certain things (poetry in particular) is very hard for me. there's also the whole 'subjective' aspect to any creative process, both in what is considered "good" advice as well as in what works for each person.
BUT! i do kind of want to try and give it a shot, especially if anything i say might be helpful to someone. since the most recent of these posts i saw was about dialogue i've been thinking about that the most, so wanted to start there. i haven't really written original fiction in years, so this is going to be fanfic-heavy, and all my examples will be coming from fic i've written, but i think that everything i could say could be equally applied to original fiction. probably lol. anyway, here we go:
( putting this behind a cut bc LONG )
but this is so dang long WHOOPS. anyway if i think of anything else that might be helpful i'll add on later. also i am 100% open to any questions about anything. idk if i'll be able to explain things to anyone's satisfaction but i am willing to try and would be happy to help if i can!
