It’s not too late to go back to something you used to enjoy. It’s not too late to try something new. It’s not too late to make changes. It’s not too late to start over.

There’s still time.

How do we write characters authentically?

Hello, my dear writer! I assume we've all wondered at the beginning of our writing journey, "How do I find my own writing style? How do I stand out, and how do I make my characters sound authentic?" This post is dedicated precisely to the latter question. How do we write characters authentically?

Observe Different Personalities: Observe people of different age groups, from various cultural backgrounds, and with diverse life experiences. Pay attention to their language, gestures, and behaviors to develop a broad understanding of human diversity.

Take Time for Character Development: Invest time in developing your characters, including their background, motivations, goals, strengths, and weaknesses. The better you know your characters, the more authentically you can portray them.

Utilize Realistic Settings: Place your characters in realistic environments and situations that are recognizable to your readers. Describe the details of their surroundings, such as landscapes, buildings, clothing, and everyday items, to create a vibrant backdrop for your story.

Be Open to Change and Development: Allow your characters room for growth and change. People evolve over time based on their experiences and decisions. Permit your characters to learn from their mistakes, gain new insights, and undergo development.

Everyday SituationsAn additional tip is to place your character in various small situations, even if they are a fantasy figure. For instance, have your character order coffee. What happens if they encounter a ghost? What are their feelings about Christmas? Accompany them while shopping. How do they react when meeting their greatest hero? Describe everyday scenarios that aren't part of your official story but are meant for you to better understand your character.

Keep Writing

Hey fellow writers! 📝✨

Just a little reminder that it's totally okay to feel like your work isn't hitting the mark sometimes. We all have those moments where we question our writing skills and doubt our creations. But guess what? That's part of the journey!

Writing is a process of growth and self-discovery. Your "imperfect" work is just a stepping stone towards improvement. Embrace the messiness, the flaws, and the awkward sentences. They're all crucial parts of your unique writing journey.

Remember, every renowned author started somewhere, and the beauty of your craft lies in its evolution.

Your words have power, even on the days when they feel shaky. Share your stories, let your creativity flow, and most importantly, enjoy the ride. You've got this!

Dark writing prompts

Some dark writing prompts for the cold winter days :) Number five is my favorite. I wrote a short story about it once. Which one is your favorite?

In a world where emotions are harvested as a powerful energy source, a secret society emerges, exploiting the pain and suffering of individuals to fuel their dark ambitions.

A mysterious antique mirror appears in an old, abandoned house. Anyone who gazes into it experiences glimpses of their worst fears coming to life. What happens when the mirror falls into the wrong hands?

In a dystopian future, a government experiment to control crime goes horribly wrong. Citizens start experiencing their darkest impulses as physical manifestations, leading to chaos and destruction.

A cursed town is shrouded in perpetual darkness, and every year, a single resident must willingly sacrifice themselves to lift the curse for a brief moment. This year, the chosen one has a secret that could change everything.

A talented artist discovers that their paintings have the power to alter reality. However, with each stroke of the brush, a piece of their soul is consumed, leaving them on the brink of madness.

A small community is plagued by a series of unexplainable events, each linked to a children's nursery rhyme. As the rhyme predicts the next tragedy, the townsfolk desperately try to break the curse before it claims them all.

A scientist creates a device that allows people to relive their happiest memories. However, as they delve deeper into the technology, they uncover a hidden layer of forgotten, traumatic experiences that could shatter lives.

In a post-apocalyptic world, survivors discover an underground bunker containing a mysterious machine that claims to offer a chance at resurrection. However, the price to bring someone back is the sacrifice of another life.

A cursed book is said to grant its reader unimaginable knowledge, but at the cost of their sanity. As a desperate scholar seeks its pages, they must confront the malevolent entity within that hungers for their mind.

A detective investigates a series of gruesome murders that seem to be connected by a chilling pattern. As they get closer to the truth, they realize the killer might be something otherworldly, feeding on the fear they instill in their victims.

I’m currently writing a book.My first to be exact . I didn’t want to say anything at first but if you guys like new books and would love to follow my TikTok teasing my book, it would be great ! It will have six chapters unless I decide other wise. The name will be revealed when the book is finished and has a set date. Until then, I will just be teasing the characters and quotes from the book. Any questions can be asked below or on the official page. I will post mostly everyday on there. 🖋️💕💕… Thank you for your support if you do choose to follow.

The main characters name is Aira Moon & her love interest is Dawn Wolfe… 🥀🥀

General Summary : In the midst of grieving her grandmother who just passed. Aira Moon takes life by the hand and goes on a date with her neighbor who isn’t her type, or who at-least she thinks isn’t her type. She uses this date to navigate her mental and emotional state of dealing with her grandmothers passing, love, and who she is entirely.

Six chapters 🥀

HNY fellow writer!

Share this message on other fellow's blogs, and if you are not a writer forward this to one.

Which scene from the works you will publish/update this year are you most nervous to people to read about?

Ex. Chapter 3, scene 3

Oh, that's a tough question to answer. Honestly, my entire book is pure drama, and I'm generally very nervous about it once it's published. But what about the rest of you? Do you have a scene or maybe a line in your book that you're nervous to showcase to readers?
