#WriterWednesday - June 20th 2018
First, second, and third. Each point of view has its pros and cons, but which one is right for your book? Only you can decide, but the post I just linked to may be able to help you to do so, as well as offering a bit of an explanation if you're confused about the different types of point of view.
It doesn't matter what genre you write in, your story will have a certain theme - whether it's one you planned to use from the start, or one that became clear as the story began to unfold - the same goes for poems, but we're talking about stories right now. So, here's a post about how you can use theme to determine subplots, supporting characters, and tension in your story. Oh, and... Speaking of tension: take a look at these tips for sustaining tension in your writing.
On a similar note: take a look at this post that talks about the basic plot of a voyage and return story. NOTE: spoilers for The Wizard Of Oz are involved in the post... Just so you're warned.
Regardless of what you write, or the point of view you write it in, here are some tips for making a workspace conducive to writing. On a sort of related note, you might want to read this next post if you currently need to be thinking about how to make Summer and writing work together (or Winter, if you're in the Southern hemisphere).
No matter what your workspace looks like, or what changes you might have to make to your writing routine because of the changing seasons, if you're an author who blogs, you may be interested in what this post on better blogging topics for authors has to say.
Speaking of authors and blogs: here's a post that discusses why guest posting is awesome for writers, which you may wish to take a look at. Also, here's a list of 100 blog topics for fiction writers, which may be useful if you're trying to figure out what to blog about.
Also, if you want others to do reviews, a guest posting slot, or whatever else you think they might do for you, make sure to treat bloggers and reviewers with respect when contacting them.
Next, here are six tips to become a great author. I think the one about writing every day should be rephrased to say you should write regularly, because it really is OK if you don't write every single day. Other than that though, I think these are good tips.
Sometimes you need something to get your creative juices flowing again. If that's the case for you right now, here are some fun tools to engage your creativity.
If your creative juices are flowing just fine in general, but you haven't touched your 'passion' project in ages, you might want to take a look at the post I just linked to, and think about the possible reasons for that (as well as what you can do about it). Also, here's a post about the art of finding your way back to your projects, and another about mining old manuscripts, which I think are worth reading.
These are the top three excuses for not writing that book. If these are your excuses, take a look at your situation again, and see what you can do to change that. I understand that circumstances do sometimes get in the way, but nine times out of ten you can work around any of those three excuses. On a similar note, here's some advice on how to write 'less' and do 'more', and some tips for Summer writing.
Finally, here are 15 things that happen when you stop stressing about writing the 'perfect' book. So stop stressing about it, and just write!
