Don't Quit Your Daydream (for writers)

Hey Daydreamers! Today we have a chatty writing update about where we're at and the benefits of knowing when to let an idea or project go.

Welcome back, Daydreamers! Today we are getting to the core of our story by focusing on emotions. From our point of view, when you know the character and their emotional beats well enough, the story writes itself (sort of!).

Welcome back, Daydreamers! Today we are talking about experimenting and making writing fun again. Get ready to get creative with old drafts and old ideas, because when you allow yourself to play, they can be reborn!

Welcome back, Daydreamers. Today we are talking all about HOW the story is told, not what it's about. This can be vastly more important than anything else because it determines the reader's experience. Here are our thoughts on voice (the character's and the author's voice), tone, and different types of narration to affect how the story is told.

Welcome back, Daydreamers! Today we chat about the importance of the setting of your story, and how the setting can drastically affect the characters and plot. The setting should be like its own character! Get ready to take notes and dive deeper into your settings.

Welcome back, Daydreamers! Today we discuss how we have both struggled with having too many directions and ideas for a story idea. This can cause paralysis and falling out of love with the idea. Here are our experiences with it and how to combat it.

Welcome back, Daydreamers! Today we are just gushing over vampires and why they have remained popular for so long. From folklore to sparkles, why do we all love a good vampire story?

Welcome back, Daydreamers! Today we are going in deep! We have realised that we need to write stories with an emotional center that connects with us on a deeper level. If you think this sounds like you, too, this episode is for you!

Welcome back, Daydreamers! Today, we are discussing how to motivate yourself and be your own best friend and cheerleader on your writing journey. It's important to have people who inspire us, but it's more important to motivate yourself!!

Hey Daydreamers, this week we are talking about the benefits of writing as fast and as simple as you can for your first draft. Complicating a first draft can only make it more daunting, so it can be useful to cut the fluff and get to the bare bones so that you can finish. After all, all good writing is rewriting!
