Writing/Drawing Is My Happy Place!

ok i absolutely need to know what accents u all have pls reblog and tell me or comment or whatever I must know

some people claim i speak with a "baltimore" accent but i personally can't tell

It depends. If I'm in a formal setting where I'm working with customers or even just trying to explain something to someone (friend, rando, or collegue - doesn't matter), I have a Midwestern accent. When I'm more relaxed, it shifts to the east slightly with hints of southern. When I'm getting sarcastic or silly or indignant the Deep South crawls outta my throat like a banjo string snapping hard enough to cause whiplash.

if you dont decouple your drive to create from your desire for attention you will go insane. simple as. you will never feel satisfied b/c you will always want more and you will feel perpetually bitter that you did not get what you are “owed”

It’s an unpopular opinion but it is absolutely and completely true. I’ve never seen someone who creates for engagement happy with the engagement they get. I posit they can’t ever be happy that way because it will NEVER be enough

MY FINGERS BARELY EVEN TOUCHED YOUR STUPID FUCKING AD STOP REDIRECTING ME TO THE APP STORE

it is honestly amazing how much of writing and editing is just. logistics. like... do i use a name here or a pronoun? if i move this dialogue tag to the middle of this line and break it in half, does the end of the line hit harder that way? what if i move the tag to the front? what if i remove it entirely? ...wait, whose point of view am i in; can i reasonably say this character is appalled, or must i say they look or seem or sound appalled? is this a deliberate action or a step-removed one; is her hand closing on his shoulder, or is she closing her hand on his shoulder? environment environment environment, we need to break all this dialogue up with some narration, the scene is coming untethered. what! are! they doing! with! the rest of their bodies that are not hands! fuck fuck fuck FUCK i forgot we covered this two chapters ago and now i either need to cut this whole chunk or find a reason to reprise the conversation from earlier. name or pronoun? name or pronoun? name or pronoun? move this clause around in this sentence? oh i'll add this phrase-- nope, never mind, past!me added the same phrase two lines down. okay, if i add too much environmental narration it's going to take away from this bit, but not enough and it won't feel grounded. what if i move this to its own line? where the FUCK are their hands?

like the betrayal’s always going to be worse if they cared about you and it didn’t matter. someone discards you because they didn’t give a shit, then you can be angry about that, you can feel vindicated in that, you can get over it. but if they can look you in the eyes and say “I love you. I would make the same choice again.” You will never sleep peacefully again, is all.

Does anyone here read the webtoon Omniscient Reader? I am nearly caught up with what's out and I need to scream about Dokja "I like women" Kim and Jongyeok "I don't like men" Yu's enemies to [questionable besties that I really want to be platonic partners who are in denial].
