some advice for seouldout anons! to summarise:

1. World-building should be quick and merciless.

2. Make us believe there's a world beyond your characters' surroundings.

3. Fuck your characters up. A little.

4. Dive right in — but don't sign-post your plot in big letters.

5. Experiment with form.

6. Think beyond genre.

7. Don't confuse your gimmick with your plot.

8. Don't fall into the character-based/plot-based dichotomy.
