Jack Who Thinks He's Suave But His Idea Of Flirting Is Shadow Boxing And Bantering

davey made cookies :) loosely inspired by an @incorrectuksies quote

Writing advice from my uni teachers:

If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.

Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.

Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.

Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.

ok so

If anyone’s looking for any good newsies fanfic authors here on tumblr, here’s a list of a few of them:

@saveugoodmadam - the resident Crutchie expert, his writing is amazing and makes we want to cry /pos

@loiteringandlurking - Javey. What else can I say? Seriously though, his fics are top tier, I always love reading what he writes

@pigeonwit - I wish I could write 50% as good as he does, I’m not even kidding. Like, where did all this talent come from

I will likely add more to this list as time goes on, but seriously you should check out these amazing people’s stuff if you want to read good fanfiction

(Also sorry if it’s weird that I tagged you three, since I only know one of you well, so sorry about that)

Reblog if you want more interaction with your mutuals and followers :D

it's time for me to come clean guys ............ im a ralbert truther ... I don't get the sprace hype ......... why spot .... ralbert is just so much better ..... dumb x dumber ......... but also chaotic x has the chaotic one on a leash ....... but ALSO smart and strategic race and 'ill fight my way through them' Albert ......

so many possibilities .......... fluffy kony moments or angsty Albert gets into another fight or race spends too much time at the races or they fight because race is trying too hard to micromanage Albert and help him out .... ralbert > sprace
