Guys this completely changed my writing, heed it. I often do an entire draft just looking at sentence variation and oftentimes the results are absolutely transformative in the difference.

This is very very good advice, and absolutely worth following. Read this. Read it again. Follow it. Your writing will get much, much better.

24.07.24 //

Got quite a bit done today! My sleep schedule is fucked up at the moment and it probably won't change anytime soon due to the olympics - a lot of the events I'm interested in watching are late at night/early in the morning (perks of living in australia 🫡) I guess that's fine though, since I tend to study in the late afternoon/evening anyway.

𓆩⟡𓆪

today, I:

updated my weekly journal

completed week 1 notes (headings 2.8, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 + significant figures) for mechanics and thermodynamics.

studied for: idk like 4 hours?

media:

📖: the lost metal - brandon sanderson

🎧: girls just want to have fun - cyndi lauper

🎞️: vice principals season 1, episodes 1-5 (I love lee russel!!)

learning how to be a better writer is really all about having the confidence to be shit at it!!! let yourself suck and have fun with it!!!! give yourself the permission to write the worst story in existence and then write it slightly better!!! a snail may be slow but he's still crossing that sidewalk and he's doing great and i love him

If you're a writer of any sort, I think your story needs to pass the Unhinged Powerpoint test.

If neither you nor a reader can make an Unhinged Powerpoint about it - the characters, the lore, the whole thing, whatever - you must re-evaluate it in some way.

The Unhinged Powerpoint is the sign of a story that is affecting people. Because they stayed up until 4 AM writing half-baked thoughts in comic sans about something. And that's worth everything.

25 delicate things lovers do that i adore:

(feel free to use!! 8, 10, 11, 18, 20, AND 21 PLSS???? *crying* yall better tag me when u write any of these?? got it??)

gazes lingering on each other

glancing away quickly when you catch them staring

finding excuses to hold your hand

delicate, slow and soft soft kisses >\\<

smiling excessively, naturally and so easily around you :`>

hands cupping your face before a kiss

the feeling they're left with after the kiss

the giddy feeling you're left with after the kiss. (yall's toaster waterproof??? :) )

picking you up and twirling you when they're excited

somebody taking an off-guard picture of you staring at each other, completely-in-love

glowing in their presence. ( im so sad )

feeling comfortable together in silence

smiling, listening keenly whenever the other rants

their eyes try to find yours whenever they hear you in crowded areas

"you're staring" "you're glowing, my love, of course i will." :)

giving small thoughtful compliments

dancing in the rain together [CRYING]

a third person saying, "no matter where they are, they're always together and in their own world."

resting their forehead against yours

shoulder kisses!!! kisses on the nape [ㅜㅜ in tears rn lmao]

the shy person initiating to kiss first!!!

touching your lips where they kissed you hard. (CAN SOMEONE KISS ME UNTIL IM A PUDDLE-)

hugs in the dark, hugs under a tree, hugs in the rain, running into their open arms and hugging them tight>>>>

placing kisses on their scars :(

waking up to a small breakfast and a note written by them before they left for the day <333

I always struggled with charatcer outlines or sheets because there were always stupid questions like “what’s their favorite color” or “what’s their favorite memory.” Stuff that would never come up…

My script teacher said you only ever needed to know a handful of things:

What they want. What they need. What’s stopping them. And what they learn.

im about to maul someone.

“stories dont need conflict” girl anything can be a conflict if ur story is about chickens going on adventures the conflict is the fucking fence they gotta hop over. if ur story is about making a lovely cup of tea the conflict can be turning on the stove. like u literally cannot write a story without conflict

fagcrisis

ALSO i hate mfers who say this shit and then go “thats why i like ghibli movies cuz theyve got no conflict” OH YOU MEAN HOWLS MOVING CASTLE, NAUSICAA, PRINCESS MONONOKEY CASTLE IN THE SKY ETC THAT ARE ALL ABOUT THE HORRORS OF WAR

fagcrisis

even the ones that arent about the horrors of war. in kiki’s delivery service kiki growing up and learning to trust people and accept help is the central conflict of the story!! my neighbour totoro’s central conflict is how the girls are dealing with their mom being sick and the responsibility they feel this puts on them!! i could go on!!

There’s a really good quote from Screenwriting for Neurotics by Scott Sublett, which applies to all storytelling: “The least that can be at stake is your main character’s happiness.” The conflict can be as abstract and internal as you please, but there’s still going to be something your character wants, something that’s stopping them from getting it, and at the end they’ll either get it or don’t. “It” can be anything from treasure to a love interest to inner peace.
