Here, we’ve gathered 14 worst pieces of advice you get. Use them to ruin the fun and write a worthless piece.

8. Make your teacher happy.

If you are making a student assignment, you have to think what your professor will think first. You’re just doing it for the grade, after all.

9. Try to be fashionable.

You have to be fashionable in order to become well-known. So do not think of your ideas too much, just visit the local shop to see what’s trendy.

10. Don’t limit yourself when it comes to comments

If you are giving reflections on other writers’ work, do not hold back any of your impulses. Insult them: drama will provoke hype.

11. Copy great authors.

While copying the style of the best writers is a handy learning tool for beginners, you can go an extra mile becoming the second Hemingway by writing like he would, or at least trying to do so.

12. Make an ending flat.

Your book hero travels through different places, meets other characters, and then ditches all that in the middle. No need to make an interesting payoff. Just stop writing as soon as you’re tired.

13. Leave no space for imagination.

Explain every sentence and every phrase the heroes say till it’s crystal-clear. Make every situation as plain as possible leaving no food for thought to the readers.

14. Have no fun

You’re a writer. You are working here, so try to stay as serious as possible. Avoid joy while you write as much as possible.
