What is some good general writing advice?
What is some good general writing advice?
I'm pretty new to writing and frankly, my stories are horrible writing-wise when I read them. Any piece of advice would appreciated.

Write it all out before editing!!
I’m a horrendous self-editor. I will overthink everything and end up losing steam before finishing a project. Don’t let that be you. Just power through the writing and edit later :)

One of the former editors at Cracked said something I always think about: "Write like an editor and edit like a writer." Get the words down on the page and don't worry about how making it perfect, just focus on shortening sentences, grammar, etc. Then when you're editing, that's when you think about finding the right words or phrases. Maybe you link it together with another plot point.
