Writing Tip!

Writing Tip!

Behavior is a hard thing to nail down with humans, though their are tricks for it. One I learned is that if a character is going to lie make a scale from one to ten and rate how dense other characters are. From their you’ll be able pin point who sees through the lie and who doesn’t.

It’s over, why are you still reading?

Fuck this shit Imma eat a jar

So I was going through my google docs on my writing account. I found this gem:

GE: JUST TRY AND CATCH ME BASTARD. GI: YOU BETTER RUN YOU WHORE! *GE is caught by GI* GE: OH woe is me~ spare the young one! Be merciful upon me! GI: LIKE FUCK I WILL BITCH! *GI bites GE and is released upon* GE: YOU FOOL! YOU BUFFOON! YOU TRIED TO CATCH A GOD! GE: WELL FUCK YOU TOO! K: What the fuck are they doing over there

I can’t find any context for this

A hint on the quest of writing

This one’s long overdue, but consider the feelings your trying to instill in someone. It’s important to consider overall but a good example where it especially important is horror stories. Reread over yours words, or have others check them. Your never going to get the feelings of dread or tension right on your first try, but that doesn’t mean you can ignore them either.

This hint has been read.

DND update!

It’s been a while! Giant ants and got to scream “Pedophiles” and shadows. Also, 8 year old has become a bludgeoning necromancer on a war path. So fun!

Somewhere, at sometime, someone looked at you and smiled. I don’t know the reason why, but at some point you made someone smile. And that’s enough. Your doing a good job.

Does anyone else relate to all those videos of frogs screaming? Like someone will post a video of them trying to touch a frog while the frog sits there, making the frog scream and I just feel the frog so much. Am I alone in this?!??

Tip for writing!

Descriptions! They don’t have to be so adjective heavy all the time! Sometimes it’s better to leave it to the imagination of the readers. (This works especially well when it’s in first person, though it can also be a tool to describe the characters feelings.)

Example: It has so horribly grotesque but to her, it was somehow beautiful. The way everything was put together so carefully and so precisely that no matter how inhuman it may have been, it was still, in a sense, beautiful.

Tip over

Remember to sleep!

Sins have been made in a tired state that neither heaven nor hell can forgive.

Tumblr is the one site where I am HEAVILY confused at what the formalities are. I know that there is some form of etiquette on this site yet after a year or two of being here I have no fucking idea
