break up your paragraphs. big paragraphs are scary, your readers will get scared

fuuuuck epithets. “the other man got up” “the taller woman sat down” “the blonde walked away” nahhh. call them by their names or rework the sentence. you can do so much better than this (exception: if the reader doesn’t know the character(s) you’re referring to yet, it’s a-okay to refer to them by an identifying trait)

blunette is not a thing

new speaker, new paragraph. please.

“said” is such a great word. use it. make sweet love to it. but don’t kill it

use “said” more than you use synonyms for it. that way the use of synonyms gets more exciting. getting a sudden description of how a character is saying something (screaming, mumbling, sighing) is more interesting that way.

if your summary says “I suck at summaries” or “story better than summary” you’re turning off the reader, my dude. your summary is supposed to be your hook. you gotta own it, just like you’re gonna own the story they’re about to read

follow long sentences w short ones and short ones w long ones. same goes for paragraphs

your writing is always better than you think it is. you just think it’s bad because the story’s always gonna be predicable to the one who’s writing it

J.K. Rowling said that Dumbledore is infact gay, a round of applause for her, A+, but the problem is she didn’t wrote it down, isn’t it sad that even if they’re living in a world full of magic and dragons they’re still in the closet?

I’ve watched Hannibal and I swear I cried because I didn’t expect that they would let them have each other, I watched a lot of series that shows queerbaiting and it’s just cold and sad that most of the people on the industry just wants to satisfy what the society is “comfortable with” so that they can earn more money, it annoys me to bits that they didn’t let the character have their respected story, that the characters that they don’t allow to love because the society doesn’t “want” that for the character is based on REAL PEOPLE WHO ARE WALKING AND BREATHING AROUND YOU THAT IS REALLY NORMAL LIKE YOU, THAT LOVES THAT WAY, AND IT’S NORMAL TO BE LOVED AND LOVE, BECAUSE IN LOVE THERE ARE NO BOUNDARIES.

When I was younger I wanted to be a journalist so I could stand up for the people around me and write articles so that when they read it they will have the courage to stand up for it too. As I got older and I realized that I want to be a director too, so that I can show the people that life isn’t just an ordinary box of cereal and that’s just plain as that, I want people to embrace and treat other people the same even with the differences that aren’t there to begin with. I thought people wanted to be writers, directors, and artist because of the same reason. Then I realized that they let themselves got eaten up by the system because they just want to settle where people would like the story to happen, because that’s safe.
