Rec'd on 🪶 improve writing and sound less like an 11 year old?

im no pro, but what’s helped me is reading as often as i can (fiction or no-fiction, any form) and then comparing my writing to the things i like reading but making sure not to do it in a self-hating way but a constructive way

I READ

helped me tremendously when I was writing my thesis, and it helps me now when writing creatively. don’t have to read anything in particular, doesn’t even have to be related to what you’re writing! Just read for a set amount of time or pages or until you feel ready.

tip for reading more

I’ve always been a sporadic reader. I’ve tried to improve that lately and something that has helped is just carrying a book/e-reader everywhere. I’m not always nose-in-book, but it has helped bit by bit.

reading challenges

if you're like me and got away from reading for a few years but are trying to get back into it, here are some things that have helped me in the last 6 ish months: 1) deleting some social media accounts / spending less time on them 2) replace my doom scrolling with reading either on my phone or with an e-reader (the more basic the better imo) (my kobo is on its way to me as we speak) 3) starting with shorter things like novellas and working my way back up to longer things (also if I feel overwhelmed by my lack of progress on something longer I read a short story) 4) remembering that reading is a skill and it will take time to get really good at it again like when I was younger and that's okay ! happy reading everyone!
