5 tips to write less cringe

Do you ever look at something you wrote and let out an audible “yikes”?

No shame, it happens all around. There’s always parts of our writing we wish would improve. Here are my best tips on what to pay attention to in order to avoid this.

Know your whys Knowing why you’re telling a story is still one of the most underrated “tips” out there. You’ll tend to solve 99% of your problems if you just know the reason you’re telling the story, and what specific thematic idea you’re actually trying to deliver.

Indulge in subtext Subtext can be a life-saver. If you’re going into a scene that you don’t know how to tackle, lay out the subtext first.

What is each character trying to achieve?

What is each character feeling?

What does each character want to avoid?

What’s the underlying conflict of the scene?

Are there any thematic arguments you could express that will make the scene feel more relatable?

Immerse yourself in description It’s easy to blaze through a scene when you know where your plot is headed, but allow yourself

Use:

- the senses to immerse readers into the scene

- internal reflection to allow readers a look into the inner workings of your character!

Don’t rush things When we know what we want our story to deliver, it’s difficult not to rush into the scenes we really want to write, or the twists we really want to reveal. But you need to allow yourself the space to build these storylines out and let them grow on their own time!

Read more In whatever way you wish to strengthen your writing, the absolute best way is to find books with similar genres, topics, or styles that you aspire to. Read them with understanding and if you like elements of the author’s writing, figure out how they got there.
