Writers are interesting people. When looking for a special person to have in their lives, there are certain qualities that stand out to them. The little things you do could mean a lot to a writer.
1. Text in complete sentences
While finishing each other's sentences would be a huge plus, all you really have to worry about is finishing your own. It doesn't have to be in MLA format or anything!
2. Use proper grammar
Knowing the correct their/there/they're and your/you're is super attractive to writers. And for most, it may actually be a deal-breaker.
3. Bring them coffee
Who knows when inspiration could strike. If it's late and they're awake writing, coffee will make them fall in love with you.
4. Read what they write
Tell them you want to read their content and let them know you like it. There is no better way to get to a writer's heart.
5. Don't judge them for what they're not doing so they can write
They don't want to go out because they have a deadline? Laundry is long overdue because they have an idea for an article? They haven't slept in three days writing something detrimental? It's all fine! Don't judge!
6. Don't tell them they're wasting their time
Whether they are writing for fun, because they want a career writing, or their career is writing, do not tell them they are wasting their time. It is obviously important to them and they are passionate about it, so let them enjoy themselves.
7. Leave them alone right before deadline
I'm sure the writer you're pursuing loves having your attention... maybe just not the day before or of a deadline. They get stressed and you probably don't want to be near any of that anyway.
8. If they have anything published, share it with the entire world
There is no better way to show your support than to share a writer's content. It says, "I care about this person and I care about what they have to say." Their heart is guaranteed to be yours if you help their voice be heard.
9. Don't get overwhelmed by all the words they throw at you
Writers are just wordy people. They have a lot to say all the time. Don't take it as them being extra, embrace the fact that they want to tell you everything they're thinking.
