3 Simple Writing Tips

3 Simple Writing Tips

— Bry Jung

Hi, gusto ko lang ishare yung ginagawa ko to update, tips narin kumbaga.

1. Focus

Need mo talaga ng concentration, sis. Pero depende parin sayo yun. Ako, usually nagta-type ako pag nakikinig ng music, depende sa mood nung chapter na sinusulat ko yung playlist. Minsan naman, mas nakakapagsulat ako pag may pinapanood, pang background noise ko lang, ganon. Natapos ko na Modern Fam and TBBT, Friends naman kasunod. Alam ko na plots ng mga yan kaya di na ko nagpa-pay attention ng sobra. Pero kung mabilis kayong madistract, baka naman manuod lang kayo, wag ganon!

2. Schedule

I try to write as much as I can, kahit 500 words lang matapos ko pag tinatamad ako magsulat, okay na yon. Pero pag masipag ako, nakakatapos ako ng 1 chapter a day. I don't upload it immediately, meron ako laging 5-7 chapters na nakastore lang. Sa schedule ng pag-update naman, I update every other day. That's 3-4 times a week, gusto ko kasi matapos as early as possible kaya ganyan. Pero minsan pag sumusobra na yung chapters na naka-store, I update daily rin naman.

I write better 'pag gabi, mas tahimik and mas comfortable ako kasi malamig. So ayon, I suggest na magsulat kayo 'pag comfortable rin kayo. And since sa gabi ako madalas nagsusulat, 'pag umaga I can do whatever I want. Pasulpot-sulpot na type sa laptop habang nanonood ganon, or I read books rin. Basta don't deprive yourself of doing the things that you enjoy.

3. Expand your vocabulary

I always recommend reading english novels para mas makapagdescribe and narrate ka ng maayos sa english, and watch english movies/series naman to know how to converse naturally in english. Always have a dictionary/thesaurus rin para mahanap nyo yung mga salitang want nyo gamitin. I also use http://chir.ag/projects/tip-of-my-tongue/ for the words na nalilimutan ko. Dito ako usually naghahanap kasi nakakatamad mag-browse ng dictionary, hehe.
