omg i’m still fairly new to this app so idk how to do any of this but 🥹🥹🥹 i’m forwarding this to whoever comes across it💛

just changed my already published book covers for a fourth time

one of my fav parts about writing is that moment in the story where everything just comes together like pieces to a puzzle.

and it’s even better when it wasn’t even PLANNED. when you didn’t even know you were putting a “puzzle” together, so to speak, and then suddenly you’re like: omg there it is! a beautiful puzzle!

when you just trust the story and your characters to take you where they’re supposed to take you and they do!

one of the most satisfying feelings ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

how do you guys decide between two/multiple storyline ideas? i usually write out both scenarios and choose the path that i like better/makes the most sense, but even that isn’t helping this time🫠

If you’re writing something that has a difficult topic in it, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PUT A TRIGGER WARNING AT THE START.

Your viewers can then make a choice to engage in your work. If they don’t, they are simply looking out for their mental health so they don’t get triggered emotionally. Which could be damaging. You actively lay out to the viewer what to expect going in.

A trigger warning also shows that you have respect for the topic you’re discussing. It also builds your follower’s respect and trust in you. Trigger warnings show that you are respecting your audience and putting them first.

You also respect mental health by doing this, showing that you understand the impact the topics are. You show empathy to the people you write your work to.

It promotes respectful writing. Writing that is mindful and humble.

You will not only get respect, but also keep some people safe mentally.
