Even w/ the best story idea, compelling characters & a solid plot, your story won’t resonate if the writing falls flat. In editing hundreds of novels, I’ve compiled 5 common examples of weak writing I often see, so you can identify & correct them in your own WIP (#amwriting 🧵):
Thread. This is why I'm not actually worried about AI replacing me as a writer. Right now, it can't replace ANYBODY as a writer.

What was the last book you purchased?
What have you done to gain an audience for you books?
#WritingCommunity Your current MC is about to be killed, and they're asked, "any last words"? How do they answer?

#WritingCommunity How do people learn magic in your world? Are there special schools, do people find mentors/learn from their parents, figure it out on their own, or some other way? #WritingQ #amwriting #WIP
Social media can be really frustrating if you focus on the numbers instead focusing on the genuine connections. It’s not about a hundred people who see you, it’s about a few who truly understand you. I’m grateful to have met such people. #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter
What's your favourity/preferred story length? To write and/or to read? Is it also the one you're the best at or does you talents really lie in another format but gods be damned you're going to try and get better at another story length?
Question time, #writers! ✍️ 🦹 What is your favourite antagonist/villain motive? #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Writing #WritingQ
because this is something i think about constantly, do you have any scenes in your WIP that fit very nicely with a song/are there any songs that remind you of specific scenes? (this is an invitation to share)(if you see this and it flops, no you didn't)
followup to my last tweet! do any of your characters have a theme song or a song that you associate strongly with them?
Thread on how to make appropriate black characters without being racist and enforcing harmful stereotypes! If you aren’t black don’t include your input just listen? If you aren’t black pls rtwt this <3

5 types of weak writing to fix in your WIP: 1. Vague character descriptions 2. Excessive imagery 3. Distracting choreography 4. Overdone sentiments 5. Meaningless details Edit your draft w/ these in mind. You’ll be amazed @ how much stronger your story will be! #writingcommunity
5. Meaningless details. Ensure you’re only drawing the reader’s attention to the elements that matter in each scene. If you spend time dwelling on irrelevant details, it affects the story’s overall flow. Ask yourself if each detail is important to what happens. If not, cut it.
4. Overdone sentiments. Conveying characters’ emotions is critical to get readers invested, but don’t veer into melodrama. It can feel inauthentic & turn readers off. Cut excessive exclamation points, all caps & ellipses. When conveying extreme emotions, less is often more.
3. Distracting choreography. Avoid over-describing what characters are physically doing when it isn’t crucial (e.g., we don’t need choreography after EVERY line of dialogue). Give us just enough to know what’s going on w/out distracting from the important parts of the scene.
2. Excessive imagery. Be mindful of lingering too long on descriptions. While many writers do this aiming for more poetic prose, piling too many images can be clunky & obscure your message. Opt for a single powerful image, metaphor or analogy to convey your point effectively.
1. Vague character descriptions. Listing adjectives is not the strongest way to convey a character’s persona. We want to see those adjectives in action. SHOW us how your characters think, feel & act. This will make them come alive & feel like layered, authentic human beings.
Even w/ the best story idea, compelling characters & a solid plot, your story won’t resonate if the writing falls flat. In editing hundreds of novels, I’ve compiled 5 common examples of weak writing I often see, so you can identify & correct them in your own WIP (#amwriting 🧵):
I'm not getting a blue check. So, before I likely go invisible, I just want to throw this out there: I write books. People seem to like them. It'd be really cool if you checked them out. More are coming. You guys in the #WritingCommunity and #readingcommunity are amazing. 💕
@EmmaBloorBooks I get so happy when I see a follow request on here and IG from bookish looking creators…only for them to drop into my DM’s with a list of services they could provide. Rude. :( I just want writing people to boost (or to boost me) when the impostor syndrome kicks up, you know?
It’s great to have new followers: counsellors, author assistance, digital creators… Can I have some writers now? Or people not looking to provide a service? Ta. 😁
What have you done to gain an audience for you books?
#WritingCommunity Your current MC is about to be killed, and they're asked, "any last words"? How do they answer?
If you could adapt any book into a film or tv series, what would it be and why?
I love a fritillary. So intriguing to see this snakeskin pattern on a flower. What sorts of mysteries and themes are you working into your writing this week? #womenwriters #WritingCommunity
