Dwells Writes

maybe your fanfic doesn’t have to change someone’s life maybe it can just brighten someone’s day for a bit

Did I daydream this, or was there a website for writers with like. A ridiculous quantity of descriptive aid. Like I remember clicking on " inside a cinema " or something like that. Then, BAM. Here's a list of smell and sounds. I can't remember it for the life of me, but if someone else can, help a bitch out <3

I FOUND IT BITCHES

This is going to save me so much trouble in the future.

one of my favorite things to do in limited perspective is write sentences about the things someone doesn't do. he doesn't open his eyes. he doesn't reach out. i LOVE sentences like that. if it's describing the narrator, it's a reflection of their desires, something they're holding themselves back from. there's a tension between urge and action. it makes you ask why they wanted or felt compelled to do that, and also why they ultimately didn't. and if it's describing someone else, it tells you about the narrator's expectations. how they perceive that other person or their relationship. what they thought the other person was going to do, or thought the other person should have done, but failed to. negative action sentences are everything.

it’s really great when you can hyperfixate on your own story. however it’s not great when you decide to hyperfixate on your fictional city’s infrastructure instead of. you know. writing.

This is such a good idea and I will definitely be doing this in future games.

“everything in your story should be there for a reason” well yes the reason my character has an Irish wolfhound is because I’ve always wanted one

put things in your writing because you love them. sometimes your subconscious makes it important later, sometimes you edit it out during revisions, sometimes it stays for no reason at all, other than it made you happy.

i was going to say ‘i have no idea what to do with this information’ but then i realized its a handy guide to generate fake words that sound english

You’ve heard of one shots, now get ready for none shots! It’s when you think of an idea for a fic and then don’t write it

#not to brag but im so fckn good at this

Writing is not about 'telling an epic story' or 'making something that will outlive you'. Writing is about going "You know what would be fucking awesome?" and then committing word crimes

Not every story is about seeing yourself in it. Sometimes it’s about learning to see other people too.
