Cazaui-rexan - Moved -- Now At RevelingRexan!

The moment you feel like you have to prove your worth to someone is the moment you must walk away.

reblog for a reminder to all (via ashleymacleanblog)

THIS WAS PLANNED FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE CALENDAR

...Oh, but 2/22/2222 is a Friday. NO. I REFUSE THIS.

February 22, 2022 (2/22/2022) is on a Tuesday. Twosday.

As far as my limited knowledge goes at the moment, sounds like a great idea.

There should be a law forcing executive salaries to be within a certain percentage of the average pay of those beneath them, weighted by the number of employees beneath them. That way, to raise your own salary, you would have to find some way to optimize pay for those beneath you as well.

Why is the party always over just when I hear about it? :|

So the first one not only doesn’t have the subtitle, but it’s also a shorter gif than the second. These gifs reserved for only the mOST EXCITING OF ANYTHING

“Show Don’t Tell”? Not Always. Here’s When to Use Summary.

I was inspired to write this post after getting a great anonymous question in my Ask: “What’s your opinion on the whole ‘show don’t tell’ advice? Do you have any tips for when to show and when to tell?”

Here’s my response:

I honestly think that “show don’t tell” is one of the most over-quoted and least-understood pieces of writing advice out there.

For those of you who aren’t familiar, “show don’t tell” means that instead of explaining or telling something to your reader (“Sheila was reckless and impulsive”), you should show Sheila’s impulsiveness through action or dialogue. For example, “Even though her rent was overdue, after she got her paycheck Sheila spent $400 on an antique toilet.” This would allow the reader to draw the conclusion that Sheila was impulsive for themselves, rather than being told.

Theoretically, this is great advice for new fiction writers, who, left to their own devices, tend to write their stories entirely in “telling” mode.

But summary (telling) has a place in fiction as well, and it’s an important one.

I didn’t know this account (cazaui-rexan) would get stuck as a permanent base account the way I did it, but o well tha’s jus’ how it goes lol :D (Seriously, though, that’s a terrible design, tumblr. Booooo.) See you at my main blog, hopefully! I draw memes and make gifs.
