Writing Prescription

A simple fix or targeted improvement that a piece of writing clearly needs. When something is missing — like description, emotion, clarity, or detail — a “writing prescription” tells the writer exactly what to add. It’s like a doctor’s note for your sentences: diagnose what’s weak, then prescribe the cure.
After reading my draft, my friend said my writing prescription was to add actual details instead of leaving everything as vague blobs.

The r/writing subreddit Principle

The r/writing subreddit Principle states that if your question starts with the words "Is it ok" or something similar to that then the answer is invariably yes.
"Hello, r/writing. Can I use a particular gimmick or a plot device that has been used before but because I don't actually read books or do any research I just assume it to be a highly original idea?"

"According to the r/writing subreddit Principle, the answer is always yes. You can write whatever you want."

"But is it ok if, like, my main character dies in the end? I'm afraid the average reader will be put off by my creative genius."

"Yes! Stop asking other people for validation! Grow a backbone and write what you want!"
