Starting to Write: write every day but set your limit

[@jacintatate]

Great advice. As a beginner I expect my work to be mud but the key is discipline and to not give up. Its amazing how you can come back to a work the next day and see it with fresh eyes, helps us to learn what we did right through trial and error. Don't be afraid to get the words out first then revise later.

Wow, this guy explains it so eloquently and to the point! Amazing ;-)

Excellent advice, thank you.

This tips were important to me, and they came at the right time. I have a story in my head, and I've decided to write it down just for fun. It's been a month since I began writing, and I don't do it routinely. By now, I realized two things: 1) after a couple of days writing it becomes easier to put my thoughts into words, but after a hiatus the process is way more difficult; 2) I always write around 1.5 thousand words/day, despite how much of the story I had previously imagined. If I decide to re-write a portion of the story, I'll end up doing just that, and it will be limited to the same amount of words I do every day. I've never thought there was a limit to every writer. I just thought it was a coincidence. My goal was a minimum of a thousand words per writing session (not per day, since I just wrote when I felt the desire to). I'll change my goal to 1,500 words per day, and I'll try to be consistent with my schedule. Thanks for the advice!

Is there a such thing as an Irish teacher?

[@KutWrite]

Well, there is an Irish language. Someone must teach it.

[@milestrombley1466]

I go for 1k-2k words a day.

[@Slynell1]

I hate writing mud.

Why is it seen as a sin to include any political or ideological issues in your story. Why does that taint narrative focus. What if your story also addresses political issues as a side story? Would that disrupt the reader's focus in the main story? Would it make you lose readers? Would it assault the reader's connection to characters? I happen to have something like that in a book I am writing. I wanted to include that because it is a story that is set in present day and I thought it would be artificial for the character not to have any political point of view. And I intend to have others with confliciting views with his own, adding diversity. I do see though that you can get caught up with something and lose focus in your story. Is that the major issue or not?

Its more an issue of whether or not your beating your reader over the head. You don't want to come across as "preachy" or belittling readers who don't exactly align with that political view. We can't help but insert our world views into our writing. The trick is to put the characters in a situation resembling that circumstance. A scenario that reflects issues that happen in the real world but because it is fiction, the reader can remove themselves from their inherent biases. Xenophobia in science fiction, tensions between humans and Alien races for example parallels real world tensions between ethnicities and is a very common but effective way of addressing things like discrimination, and race without disenchanting or alienating a reader. It allows people to think about these complex "political" issues without putting them on guard.

Heitor Altermani : My take is that Gébler is wary of writers 'soap-boxing'; which can be somewhat jarring for the reader.

They're called leprechauns

Could you not? I don't happen to be a leprechaun a ginger or a drunk so go shove your Irish stereotypes up your ass
