To Be A Better Writer...

To be a better writer...

If your story include characters that continuously suffer, or even occasionally suffer, write about the effects on the character’s life and the plot rather than just the suffering itself. Pain, like any other heavy aspect of a story, should move something forward or backward rather than be included just for the sake of it. Too much focus on the feeling rather than the effects make a story repetitive and boring, so keep the consequences for the character and plot in the forefront.

the very few occasions on which remus lupin has cried in front of someone

- when he came out to lily

- when sirius told him he thought his scars were beautiful

- when he asked sirius to marry him (and we all know what the answer was)

- the one time he got really drunk with james and got emotional over a cat video

The most hilarious thing about the fact Buckbeak had a trial and lost is that later on JKR resolves the issue by having Hagrid take him in again and renaming him Witherwings. That’s literally all it took. What if in POA, Hagrid simply said, “Sorry, Buckbeak flew away.” 

“There’s a hippogriff right there, Hagrid.”

“A different hipprogriff.”

“I’m… pretty sure that’s the same hipprogriff.”

“Prove it.”
