Writing tips!

How to improve writing style? Any writing exercises or techniques you’d recommend? Sentence structure? [name_m]Just[/name_m] any tips you’ve got!

If you have a particular question, post it here, and I’m sure one of the excellent writer berries can answer your question(or at least try!)

I like writing that’s both simple and poetic: beautiful sentences but no purple prose. For example, I find [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] Alire Sáenz’s and [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] Rothfuss’s styles very inspiring.

I’ve practiced by writing some poetry: saying much with few words. It’s really improving my prose.

I’m not sure whether this will help you too, but maybe it’s worth trying!

thanks @Johannaa, it really did help!

A thing I have found really fun was 365 (or 366 in this year) days of writing prompts. From any website, but the one I used was 365 Creative Writing Prompts - ThinkWritten.
