I wanted to include that because I didn’t want the story to go too fast (this will be just a one time thing though). Thanks for writing this amazing article!

Boring writing is when a character has training that goes on forever, when characters are in dreams or stuck in a dream world doing nothing just describing shit, boring is not getting main characters together and interacting.

Lol, I’ve been reading some fan fiction—for some damn reason,—and let me tell you it’s teaching me what NOT to do, bad writing can be truly painful to read. I think what I’m hating the most is how flat the writing is the five senses are usually reduced to one: sight.

/facepalm

I keep reading them though, I’m looking for something in these tangled messes, not sure what though. (Great article, thanks.)

This is very good advice and I have been trying to follow it. I am obsessed with writing in order for some reason but honestly my work comes out better when I just write the good scenes first. Thanks for the reminder that I need to get better about doing this.
