Writing is HARD! Whether you're writing novels, poems, or short stories, here are 10 harsh writing tips that I've learned along the way as a writer who has written 10+ books!! What's your favourite tip of those I shared and do you have a writing tip that works for you?

TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 - Intro
0:05 - Learn how to finish something
1:01 - Write something personal if you plan to publish
1:36 - Accept that your writing will be bad, especially in the beginning (but even after)
2:13 - If you don't actually write, you're not going to get better at writing
2:34 - Set a max deadline for when you need to finish your draft
3:02 - Diversify your writing skills
3:57 - Only seek feedback when appropriate (messed up the title card in the video, number 8 is after this!)
4:40 - Identify your weaknesses and actively tackle them

ABOUT ME
Hi y'all! I'm Rachel, a twenty-year-old writer from Toronto. I've been writing for eight years and am in my final year of my BA in creative writing. On my channel, rachel writes, I document my writing journey and try to post once a week (usually on Fridays).

DISCLAIMER:
I'm only one writer, and approach each video from my experience/expertise. While I make content like writing advice videos on this channel, it's important to me that my viewers ultimately write in the way that best resonates with them. :)
