Ive been reading my old diary a passage a day. Back then I would list off my schedule that day and then right anything eventful that happened that day. However, my 9th grade self decided to just right “AHHH my bobs :(“ under swimming and not give ANY context. (I looked back through the diary and figured out we were diving that day which I was terrible at.)
Writing tip!
Make sure that dialogue is understood and not misread! Many things we say on a daily basis could easily mean something else! Unless your trying to be vague and cause a misunderstanding, double check that people understand what your writing. Ive had many times where people become confused because of these things!
Tip is over. Go home.
Writing tip I think.
Romance… JUST BECAUSE TWO CHARACTERS ARE HOT OR BECAUSE THEY HAVE ONE OR TWO GOOD INTERACTIONS WITH EACH OTHER DOESN’T MEAN THEY SHOULD KISS. What I’m saying is that all good written romance is built off of good character interactions and chemistry. That being said, just because two characters are attractive or if by plot means (if they both play a center role in the story and work together) they would normally get together doesn’t mean they should be involved in a romantic relationship with the other. Some of the best romances I’ve seen so far is ones where they actually have both chemistry and ok interactions. Basically don’t force characters together just because they would look good together.
I think the tip is over??
The world is made for the boringly average and I refuse to elaborate.
So this is how I’m like when I’m drunk
Damn me for my hubris. For I have seen the depths of humanity and let sinners drag me down. Now, I cower in fear at my fellow man, for enticing me with such sweet words only to make me stare at the horror which is uncontrollable lust. Curiosity and anticipation are my chains and I am full of regret.
Writing tip to you all!
Ive seen this a lot now, where villains are formed by other villains. The trope itself is good, but the problem is when you switch to quickly between hating and loving the past villain. You can blur the lines, of course, but switching so wildly from one to another is chaotic and makes a character confusing.
Tip is finished, go home.
Writing Tip!
You know you’ve written a character well when 5 minutes introducing them you kill them yet you’re readers still cry.
Tip finished.
Writing… opinion?
Ok so this isn’t a tip but I do find this important. Please don’t romanticize kidnapping and stalking or at least if you do please note that such activities aren’t, in reality, romantic. I have been around so many people who have copied such actions or have not been able to recognize the danger because stuff like obsession, possessiveness, and generally unhealthy habits have been so heavily romanticized. I’ve even had friends who have been stalked and yet not realized it because of these sorts of things! Please be aware of the messages your putting out through your work and don’t promote dangerous activities!
Opinion over.
