If you’ve completed your MS but are significantly over word count, just delete every 8th word. The brain is smart and can figure it out, and you cut thousands from your total.

Once you finish your first draft delete the whole thing and start again.

And now... Bad Writing Advice! This feels like the thing everyone says when they wanna be punchy, but have no better advice to offer. Like, yeah dude, I'm actively trying to put my reader to sleep.

Happy Monday! Here's some #BadWritingAdvice to get started.

(I hate this phrase to the depths of my soul.)

#badwritingadvice

Make it clear that you've fallen in love with your protagonist. Keep fudging the plot to make the planets align for your protagonist, at the expense of willing suspension of disbelief.

I reject any writing advice that comes in the form of "Don't do this thing! It's bad!" If you have actual good advice, frame it as a good thing I can implement. That way I have more tools in my box, not fewer.

My favorite editing trick is accidentally deleting what I was writing on my phone with no way to recover it. My brain cuts out all the extra words in a scramble to remember and it ends up being much more streamlined and coherent when I type it out a second time.

Bad writing advice #2: 'Always/Never use said.'

🤔

Using 'said' is fine. It's invisible. But don't shy away from action for more vivid scenes. 'Always' & 'Never' are words that should make writers wary. #writingadvice
