Witchy Writing Tips!

sometimes when i read other books/wips/about other’s wips, i start feeling like my characters/plot/wip are flat and uninteresting so this is a reminder to me and everyone that yeah, of course the thing you’re working on won’t seem as fun and sparkly as what other people are doing. that’s because you’re too familiar with it! you know the thing well! so sometimes, it feels boring/flat/not worth it but that doesn’t mean it is

and i need to address a few things, as well. i'm a pretty neutral page, and being uplifting to those just starting out in their practice is something i enjoy doing. positivity and encouragement is extremely important.

i've been seeing a lot of "you're a real witch when___" lately

no. just no.

you're a real witch regardless if you're self sufficient or not. look up spells if it's needed, find a mentor if it's needed, educate and find yourself with your pace. it does not mean you're any less.

you're a real witch if you don't have a grimoire, or you don't have your spells memorized.

you're a real witch if you fall into depression and find it hard to practice. make sure your deities know this, find little ways to keep them happy.

you're a real witch, regardless of race, sexuality, whether you're just starting out or you've been practicing for years.

you're a real witch if you're not gatekeeping.

don't discourage our young witches. they need reassurance too. there is no wrong or right way to practice, as long as you're aware of which practices are closed and shouldn't be used unless you're from that heritage.

you're a witch, period. stop telling people that they have to fit a certain criteria to be a "real witch"
