Author: Writing Bad

Writing Bad started off as a writing support group on Facebook founded by author Jade Cinders on January 10, 2017. Writing Bad was founded with the sole intention of creating a friendly environment where writers of any skill level would feel comfortable to share, learn, and grow. We support constructive criticism and respect at all times, no matter what. We hope to continue to expand to include accessible writing conferences, educational material, and more.

Find Your Own Habits

In reading numerous works on the writing process and receiving advice from other writers based on their own personal writing habits, I have heard numerous renditions on what up-coming or potential writers must do to cross the threshold into actualized writers. These examples tend to take a dogmatic approach to the process. For example, an established writer will say one, absolute method exists in order to write, which usually just happens to be the method that particular writer uses. I disagree with this. Even if I find the advice helpful, I disagree with the necessity of strict adherence to any singular process.

A Knock on Autumn’s Door

Carnival

“I’m outside,” you say. And with the gleeful heart of a teenager, I climb through the front window of my empty house, Straight into your arms and into the night.
