What if your problem is actually being a writer? ⁣ Okay. Think two steps back. Before you start writing, you sit down to write, and before you sit down to write, you tell yourself you wanna be a writer. The first step involves a dilemma. And if that is a story of our writing journey, you are a character facing a difficult choice between wanting to be a writer or just assuming you can’t do it. ⁣ In my opinion, that’s due to a lack of structure. The way your mind is built, arranged, or organized is what makes you choose between either writing or not writing. ⁣ Today on the blog I’m talking about @jhbunting and @thewritepractice book The Write Structure and a bit of a trip on the hero’s journey. ⁣ And the question is: ⁣ Where are you in your writing journey? And what do you think about structure? ⁣ Read more in the blog. Tap the link in the beard or go to beardy.link/inthebeard. ⁣ 👊🏻 J.
I don’t believe there’s such a thing as a reading slump or writer’s block. What I know is that life sometimes gets so overwhelming and automatic that you don't want to read, you don't want to write, social media and other distractions become dull or even a burden for you, work feels painful, and you don't feel like doing anything at all at the same time as it doesn’t seem like you’re doing or achieving anything at all. That’s the right time to pause and think about it. ⁣ My blog post today is about taking a break. Read it, you might need to hear what I’ve said there. Check the link in the beard or go to beardy.link/inthebeard. ⁣ But like I said on the blog, I’m back to reading and writing now. And here’s what I’m reading this week: ⁣⁣ • Dom Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes • The Joe Shuster Story, by Julian Voloj and Thomas Campi • Decoding Greatness, by Ron Friedman ⁣ 👉🏻 And what are YOU reading this week?
Thought: when our writing lacks a good story, this might lead to noisy and random content instead of something our readers will mindfully consume and perceive. ⁣ The title of my blog post today was “on choosing the path between noise and stories”. So that’s the story behind the photo. ⁣ I was reading this book called “Noise” and I talked about it in the blog today, the link is in the bio. ⁣ The main thought, however, is about noise vs bias vs writing good content. ⁣ As a writer, you can do whatever you want, though I ethically prefer to be honest and tell stories without any noise or biases. If that’s possible. ⁣ As a reader, you must be aware of noises and biases. Or it will be too late and you’ll end up telling stories to find a reason for mistakes. ⁣ We can talk about it in more depth in the blog, you will like what I wrote there. ⁣ But for now, just tell me: what makes a good story in whatever you read. I’m not just talking about fiction, I mean, when it sticks in your mind there’s a good chance it did because of a good story supporting the idea. So, what makes a good story in your opinion? ⁣ Have a great week! ⁣ tags: #books #bookaholic #noise #danielkahneman #literary #bookishlife #readmore #reading #readstagram #bookgram #writergram #bookstagram #paths
It was a good week. Productive and interesting in many ways. I officially reactivated the blog (beardbetweenthelines.com) and you and many other readers understood that my home is there now and this will just be the window for my content as that photo is the view from the window of my home. Yep. Feel all the meta vibes all over you. Now I’m gonna enjoy the weekend and start a new chapter. ⁣ Plans for today: • bookstore visit • walking with my son • eat Japanese food • read the books we bought • draft some outlines for posts ⁣ Meanwhile, where are you now? And what’s the view from your window? And if we looked from outside, what would we see in your home? ⁣ 🏷 #weekendchill #blogging #writergram #writerslife #readerslife #readstagram
How many times do you find yourself reading a book you’ve already read? …again? And if that happens a lot, what do you think you’re gonna find when doing that? What did you miss the last times you held those same pages in your hand in an awkward deja vú? ⁣ And is that madness? Or is it madness just to see life as it is, and not as it should be? ⁣ I’m starting a new book today and you know that already, I’m talking about rereads in the blog today. ⁣ Tap the link in the beard! 👊🧔‍♂️ ⁣ • btw, what are you reading for the weekend? ⁣ tags: #bookstagram #bookgram #readstagram #reading #readmore #reread #bookishlife #bookaholic #imreading #currentlyreading
We should reverse engineer the books we read in order to write better. Do you agree? ⁣ Pick a book, disassemble it, examine it, analyze it in detail, discover the concepts of its structure, produce something similar, pick a new book, repeat. ⁣ Think of that process as dismantling a complex object made of Lego pieces. You can choose two ways. You can just break it all, throwing the pieces away, or you can go piece by piece, understanding why they are there, what they do, the role they play in the structure, and what they mean to the whole object. And after you do that, you try to rebuild the object your way. ⁣ Now do that with writing. ⁣ That’s what I wrote about in the blog today, tap the link in the beard and read more about it. ⁣ Go to beardy.link/inthebeard ⁣ Tags: #writing #reverseengineering #bookaholic #ilovetoread #bookstagramer #blogger #writingcommunity #writerlife #readmore #currentlyreading #writingskills #betterwriter #newpostontheblog
I’m back. Sorta. ⁣ I did this before. A new start in the blog. And I backpedaled. I tell you why. On a new post in the blog. You know I took a break from this bittersweet platform. Now I’m back with a different idea. ⁣ You like what I write no matter where I am, right? So, that’s what I want to focus on. I want to take you out of this platform to read and I want to send you to my blog. Let’s do this. ⁣ My latest post is called “create opportunities, share your work”. ⁣ Go to beardy.link/blog, and you’ll find it. The link in the bio will take you there too if you prefer using it. We’re calling it the “link in the beard”. Spread the word about the blog. Tell about it to as many friends as you want. ⁣ Now, before you go there and read my first blog post in this new phase of my work, share what you create here in the comments below. Your blog, your social media profile, your art. And let me know what you do. And if you go to the blog and do the same thing, it’s gonna be great, and I will happily share the work of the creators I like the most with all my readers. ⁣ 👊🏻 J. ⁣ #blog #blogging #newpost #writing #create
How many of you live inside of you? ⁣ I know the question is a bit weird, but I’m reading this book called THE ALTER EGO EFFECT by Todd Herman. He suggests that one surefire way to overcome fear and improve yourself is to use an alter ego. I believe that because I’ve seen that work. I’m a lawyer, an introvert, I hate speaking in public, but here I am, being a writer on social media. And when I write here, I incorporate this persona that speaks English, loves books, reads a lot, and studies writing with passion. But it’s still me. I do love and do those things. But if I came here as a lawyer, I’d bore you. ⁣ So, the key here is to understand that an alter ego is a “different” you, but still you. We’re not talking about changing who we are, having multiple personalities, or psychologically messing with ourselves. We’re talking about channeling our skills and talents. That’s where it gets interesting. Because the whole idea is not to pretend you are someone you’re not, it’s to build your “other self” with the aspects you need and ALREADY HAVE (or may learn or acquire) to achieve a goal. ⁣ For example, the book talks about Clark Kent vs. Superman. Many people believe that Superman is Kent’s alter ego. But it’s the opposite. His dominant self is being this extraterrestrial being, a powerful superhero that saves humans. But as his alter ego, he assumes a more vulnerable, introspective, and low profile persona to be unnoticed, and blend in among the people he’s here to save to feel like them and understand them better. But you see, he doesn’t transform himself into someone he’s not to fit in, he plays another role to focus his talents and skills to achieve his goal. ⁣ An impostor syndrome kicks in when we question ourselves. We try to write something and it doesn’t work, so we start believing that writing is not our thing. That’s because we’re not sitting to write as writers. We even call ourselves “aspiring writers” sometimes, don’t we? That’s because we don’t believe we can write yet. But we can. Try to sit to write saying, I’m a writer, let’s do this. And tell me what happens… ⁣ What do you think? Do you have an alter ego? ⁣ 👊🏻 J.
“Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.” — John Keating (Robin Williams) in “The Dead Poets Society” ⁣ I was discussing creative ideas with Bee (@frombeewithlove) and asking her advice on aesthetics for the feed. She told me to search for inspiration in styles I could find on Pinterest, including academia styles that go well with bookish accounts. That’s when I bumped into #DarkAcademia. I know I’m late to the party, but not really, and that’s what I wanna talk about today. ⁣ So, one of the pins I found listed a few elements that revolve around dark academia aesthetics. Books, classical music, writing, existentialism, coffee, classics, poetry, photography, chess, and learning music. I mean, I saw that list and I thought for a moment, Sh—, I’m a “dark academic”. LOL. I’m kidding. I’m old, I already lived by those things before the dark academia generation was born. ⁣ But those elements HAVE been part of me and I like seeing them cultivated by new generations. I really do. The Dead Poets Society, for example, is one of my favorite movies of all time and it influenced me a lot. I like that many young people are taking that movie as part of their lives. ⁣ I only wish that this is not just another trend that is cool now to follow for likes but then forgotten and replaced with another likes-bringing trend, you know? Like other social media “movements” and “cults” that you see evaporating overnight, that would be beautiful if they were honest and imbued with real education and continued with responsibility after that. So that’s what I wish here. Remember when I said that seeking Renaissance interests and values is part of my writer’s life? Well, like @tatianafeltrin and @r.c.waldun said in their videos about dark academia, I want to believe that this whole social media culture around higher education, writing, poetry, arts, and classics creates a new Renaissance generation with improvements out of social media. With new vibes and elements, too. Some Beatnik influence? Jazz? Punk rock? Maybe The Dead Poets Society meets Hair? I don’t know. But you know what I mean. ⁣ Let’s talk about it. What do you think? ⁣ 👊🏻 J.
Do you know what Literary Fiction is? It’s so obvious that’s my style, and yet, it took some time for the penny to drop. Even with the “between the lines” part of my daily routine here. ⁣ When you start learning the basics of writing, you’re kinda driven to a more approachable and safe structure to readers, a blueprint that fits a certain genre and can be easily identifiable, hence sold to a specific reader. ⁣ The only problem is that this is not the only way writing works. I mean, many bestselling authors do have a formula and a structure that make them sell their books and be the authors they are to the readership they’ve built. And I don’t judge them, I like many of those books, too. But my point is, that’s NOT the only way it works, and the way an author writes or plot points or journeys or tropes that work will not necessarily work work for every writer. ⁣ So, I write Literary Fiction. What does it mean? I’m not gonna try to define it, we would start an eternal discussion about structure or no structure, plot or no plot, what it is and what it’s not, freedom to write vs. we still got tropes, and the interesting discussion about its “seriousness” even though it has humor. What I’ll tell you is how I see it. ⁣ Most Literary Fiction stories focus on the character and by the use of psychological or introspective elements, and a lot of metaphors, symbolism, and imagery, they take the reader to explore how the story impacts the characters, and what it means to them. So, it has this philosophical and psychological idea that forces the reader to pause and think, to detach themself from their beliefs, and surrender to the story and understand why the character reacts, grows, changes, behaves BECAUSE of what happens. ⁣ And I LOVE that. There’s no limit. You will always find something to extract from it, to learn, observe, enjoy, and think about. Even if what you perceive by reading literary fiction is just… well, BETWEEN THE LINES. ⁣ Alright, do you know what literary fiction is? And what literary-fiction book changed you or made you forget who you were for a while? ⁣ That’s one of my goals as a writer, by the way. ⁣ 👊🏻 J.
FADE IN EXT. DAY. — MY BREAKFAST TABLE MUSIC CUE: “Take Five” by The Dave Brubeck Quartet ⁣ We all shrink to nano-sizes. We’re in a nano flying car, flying over the coffee cup, the egg sandwich, the keyboard of the tablet, the book on the table. Heading to my left ear. We enter there. ⁣ INT. MY MIND. ⁣ We’re in my mind. No blood, no muscles, no organic parts, no bone structure of a skull. I know. And yea, it does look like a Pixar movie. Actually, there they are, the islands of personality, after that huge yet almost empty memory-dump abyss. I hardly forget something. The colors make a difference here, as you can see. The Island of Writing is all painted in earthy tones, brown, beige, faded blue, a little bit of ochre. Silent af. Yea. The Island of Law looks like a noir movie, dark and serious, black and white at first, but if you slice something there, it bleeds colors. That’s the creative side of me even when I’m working full time. Now, the Island of Books is crazy with all those sky-scratching piles of books, there’s a librarian there who looks just like me, but in the form of a turtle with glasses. He can tell which pile is the read one and which is the to-be-read. But that’s irrelevant. The Island of Memory, right there in the middle, is exactly what you see. A big forest surrouding a white library in the middle that looks just like the Guggenheim. I can’t let you go there, my OCD won’t let you step inside the building, but you may know that EVERY memory is catalogued and there’s a virtual personal assistant there in the center of it who keeps track of videos, audio, books, quotes, ideas, and all other forms of memory. It’s crazy. I used to keep that in flash cards when I was a kid. But I as lonely and I created an AI to share my memories with. Ok, let’s go back… I’m tripping here. We won’t visit the Island of Creativity. Once you go there, you never get out. Unless you know the passwords… ⁣ #qotd: do you know your mind? do you know how it works and how you can find what you need there? Tell me more… ⁣ Btw, here’s a suggestion: Write about traveling inside your mind today and share it with me later. Take us on a tour. ⁣ 👊🏻 J.
So, there’s the question again: What does a writer do before they start writing the first draft of a book? ⁣ I asked you that a few hours ago in my stories and I got tons of interesting answers. I liked the one that says, “it depends on the writer”. It’s true, each writer has their own process. But there’s a few things we all do. It’s not exactly a tight process or the right answer, but we all follow some natural and common steps. And that’s what I’ve been doing for my new project. ⁣ 1. COFFEE (I’m kidding, or not really). Well, think of that as a trigger to your writing brain. It doesn’t have to be coffee, but you need something to turn your writing mode on. It could be music, a photograph, a mantra, looking at some object, reading, I don’t know. In my case, it’s coffee. ⁣ 2. SKETCHING, DOODLING, OUTLINING. You don’t need to draw. I mean that metaphorically. Gather ideas, mold them into something that looks like a story or at least the gist of it. Visualize your writing before you start it. It’s the process where you tell yourself the story you will write and what it will look like. 3. SIT AND WRITE. Once you have launched the app in your brain that puts you in writing mode, and organized your first thoughts and ideas, it’s time to sit and write. But not the first draft yet. It’s more like a brain dump session. Sit and write whatever comes to your mind. Paragraphs, lists, scenes, dialogues, even a proper outline. Bleed, and (I’m sorry) vomit. Write everything. Then, only than, you can cut whatever doesn’t belong to your first draft. ⁣ I’m on that process right now. My new project looks like a messy mood board, an unordered list, a mess to anyone but me. It’s like looking at a deck of cards scattered on the floor, and only I know what the sequence of those cards is. ⁣ Next, I’m gonna get them all sorted, so I can start writing the first draft. ⁣⁣ What do you think about it? Is it what you think every writer does? Do you folllow a different process? Let’s talk about it in the comments. ⁣ 👊🏻 J.

    what if writing could help you?

    June 2, 2021 /

    If you ever tried to write without any particular goal, just letting your mind flow and your writing spirit guide you, you probably know that writing is therapeutical. As you start writing whatever comes to your mind, you sort of EXPEL everything drifting inside you automatically. And when you read what you wrote, you may find aspects of your personality or thoughts that you didn’t know about, hidden wishes or desires, or even problems you need to solve. Also, you can satisfy your anxious mind about something. Ok, hold that thought. This whole moment we’re living right now is stressful af, and we can’t do a bunch of stuff because…
