Let me just uh…. totally out of pure wackiness not cause I absolutely agree and feel we should just eat em.
Writing tip to those who care.
Write stuff. It will always be hard to take the time to sit down and write, but your ideas are something that somebody out there would love to read. Try your very best to take even five minutes of your day to sit down and write.
To those who care, it’s over.
one of my worst writing sins is abusing my power to create compound words. i cannot write the sentence "The sun shone as bright as honey that afternoon." no. that's boring. "The sun was honey-bright that afternoon" however? yes. that sentence is dope as fuck. i do not care if "honey-bright" is a word in the english dictionary. i do not care if the sentence is grammatically correct. i will not change. i will not correct my erred ways. the laws of the english language are mine.
Dnd update!
There was an unfortunate TPK ending my reign as dm. A new campaign has started and now my friends remember why I’m not allowed to be a player.
Kenkus are fun.
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
Important ideas to consider when creating characters who are black and indigenous people of color. (x) (Creator’s instagram post)
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 for ya guys!
World building can be hard task, considering how there’s so much to take care of. For the more ambitious types you may consider even creating creatures. Creating animals is a difficult task as they have to seem somewhat realistic. What I recommend is taking a pre-existing animal and changing its habitat and diet.
Here, let’s change a tiger! We can change the tigers environment to a mountainous one, and we can make it an omnivore! First let’s change its size, let’s make them a little smaller then a coyote. Let’s make them thinner as well, shrinking their head and legs to be more agile. We can make their coat slicker and fur shorter. We can exchange the proud oranges and whites to more dusty browns similar to that of dirt or bark. We can make they’re teeth smaller and more dull, as well as make their ears bigger and slightly more pointed. And we’re done! We’ve changed a proud and huge predator of the forest to a small and sly omnivore of the mountains. Of course it doesn’t have to be extremely realistic but unless your creature uses a magic of some sort I would recommend not doing extremely unrealistic things.
Tip over! (This was a long one.)
I remember hearing the phrase “You went to the store for butter and apples, yet you came back with potatoes and cream but I can’t hear you complaining.” and honestly I feel that describes my experience with Tumblr.
I came on here for socializing and maybe some memes but I came out with more fears and cat pics.
I should probably specify this a bit more. I am absolutely not against putting these sorts of things in your writing. I am totally for it in fact. What I am also for, however, is authors specifying that they don’t approve of the actions displayed in their books. I’d rather writers not have to do this, but people often perceive fiction as reality.
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.
