WCRI Flash Brief

If you want to succeed, you need to visualize what success means to you.

We need to remember as writers that we need to manage our time, be it through schedule or routine.

We all need a community, both to be helped and to help. We can teach and learn, and sometimes we need hugs or to be slapped down.

Being competitive is part and parcel of being a writer. You need to find a way to compete with others to keep up your competitive side.

Old-time radio serials may appear to be a weird source of inspiration, but they use a lot of techniques that some of us wish we could master.

It may sound weird, but cooking shows can show you the differences between different regions, especially those that focus on specific regions or traditions.

Writers are often looking for ways to master dialogue and inspiration. Watching talk shows can provide both.

There's no reason to quit your day job...at least, not until things take off.

When you are looking at potential merch for your comic, make sure that you ask yourself if it will sell. Please Support the Channel: https://www.patreon.com/twosparrows

Sometimes you need to go outside. The sun is your friend.

When deciding on the advertising budget, make sure that you are using it to advertise as efficiently as possible.

The flow of the story is the most important thing.

There's a temptation to get a little crazy about exploring characters in your writing; don't go deeper than you need.

Sometimes you need to apologize. Don't let your ego get in the way.

Don't worry about if your story is going to be considered "literature"; no one really knows what it is, and it's usually not what you want to be.https://vurbl.com/station/3fwjAzfH9m2/

While you shouldn't be afraid to discuss politics in your writing, don't go overboard: Too much political talk can ruin the story, making it little more than a mere screed.

When you research don't be afraid to explore all of the weird tangents that come up. They can only help your story.

Your project can't survive if no one hears about it. Do what you can to make sure everyone hears about it!

When you start doing research, keep in mind that you should question every source that you come across.

Any expression of a person's creativity will express things important to that person; as such feel free to talk about politics if it's what you want to talk about.
