A Happy Ending:

and they're super casual about it? I mean I wasn't shocked there were other minorities making the same offensive "jokes" over and over bc poc unity just doesnt exist

Watching MaskedArab has made me realize just how islamophobic and racist people are.

normal kdramas have that scene where the guy saves the girl and then she catches feelings, but not gaus. no, instead, na rae realised she started to like sang sik after he covered up her fart w his and took the blame

my toxic trait is that if I find a male lead accessible I will literally drop. like what happened to forbidden romance, leaping through coals of fire to get to your significant other? any other kind is just not as appealing to me

Why your story sucks

Read this if you think your story sucks.

Here are the most common reasons why it might feel like things are falling flat in your novel, or just not working out the way you want them to.

You don’t have a clear message You don’t have a grasp on what your story question is and how you’re going to answer it, or what themes you’re exploring beyond the plot.

You’ve lost sight of your character motivations This happens often, to experienced writers too. Sometimes you’re just not thinking in a way that puts your character motivations in the top priorities - where they should always be.

You rushed in without a plot structure Being a discovery writer is all good and way, pantsing your way through a story can be done, but even so, you should at least have a vague idea of what your biggest plot points are, so you don’t completely lose the middle.

You’re obsessed with the plot On the other tip of the scale, you might be obsessing over following every little plot thread you’ve laid out, that writing just isn’t fun anymore, and your characters are doing things for the sake of following your plot.

You’re not taking time to discover your world Allowing yourself some creative freedom from time to time is a great way to spark innovative scenes in your novel. Explore what the world you created has to offer, and let your characters do their own thing once in a while.

if the ppl in my scenarios were real they'd be fed up cuz of how many times I make them repeat the same things but in slow motion this time if I accidentally skip or fast forward lmao

listening to waltz while lying down about to fall asleep to one of the scenarios where I dance w my enemy in a crowded ballroom, hands on hips and shoulders and waist, our bodies flush against each other. my floor length white dress with a slit at the corner hides the garter that's sheathed the lethal blade dipped in poison especially for him, while his belt carries a shot gun that's slightly visible if he turns a certain way.
