Advance The Plot: But Make It Interesting (pt.5)
This may sound silly, but using a calendar can really help you brainstorm plot points. You don't need extravagant events. You can literally use holidays or birthdays to move your story forward. #writer #write #writingtips #writing #advancetheplot #creativewriting #writinginspiration #writingmotivation #writinganovel #bookwriting #fictionwriting #thewriteen #storytelling #plotting #characterdevelopment
Advance The Plot: But Make It Interesting (pt.4)
This tip is from Ana Neu on YouTube (she made a video on it). I just put it in my own words. Basically, think of all the different settings in your book and list all the things that could potentially happen in that place. Then pick what makes most sense and write that. #writer #write #writingtips #writing #advancetheplot #creativewriting #writinginspiration #writingmotivation #writinganovel #bookwriting #fictionwriting #thewriteen #storytelling #plotting #characterdevelopment #storydevelopment
Advance The Plot: But Make It Interesting
If you're struggling to figure out how to advance the plot of your story, think cause and effect. What did your character do? What were the consequences (there HAS to be some)? Why does it matter to them? What are they going to do about it now? Write that next. #writer #write #writingtips #writing #advancetheplot #creativewriting #writinginspiration #writingmotivation #writinganovel #bookwriting #fictionwriting #thewriteen #storytelling #plotting #characterdevelopment #storydevelopment
How To Make Your Story More Interesting (pt. 3)
Make your story more interesting by creating tension so thick you can bite into it. Give us something to dread or look forward to. It's all about secrets, big or small. Let the readers in on it but not the MC. Then watch readers pull their hair out waiting for the other shoe to drop. #writer #writes #writing #writingtips #fictionwriting #writinganovel #bookwriting #thewriteen #writinginspiration #storytelling #howtomakeyourstorymoreinteresting #characterdevelopment #creativewriting
How To Make Your Story More Interesting (pt. 2)
If your story is boring, raise the stakes! Make your characters run, light a fire to their behinds, and DO NOT let them rest until they have solved their problems. Don't go easy on them. Push them to their very limits so when they reach the finish line, the reward tastes sweeter than a peach cobbler ;)) #writer #writing #writingtips #fictionwriting #writinganovel #bookwriting #thewriteen #writinginspiration #characterflaws #raisethestakes #howtomakeyourstorymoreinteresting #creativewriting
How To Make Your Story More Interesting
Our favorite characters are often those we can relate to on some level. One of the most relatable things a character can have is flaws. But these flaws don't mean anything if they have no real impact on the character's life and journey. Make your story more interesting by allowing your character to make mistakes. #writer #writing #writingtips #fictionwriting #writinganovel #bookwriting #thewriteen #characterflaws #howtomakeyourstorymoreinteresting #characterdevelopment #creativewriting

If it's not slow burn, is it even romance? 👀 Anyway, if you want your romance to be full of tension and have readers screaming, crying, throwing up because they cannot wait to see the love birds get together, you NEED to let it simmer.
