come find my hidden stories

Readers don't tend to notice 'said', while it's there in the sentence, it doesn't give the sentence any life. It gets the job done, mostly...

Here are some options to try!

whispered / muttered / mumbled → soft or secretive

shouted / yelled / barked → anger, urgency

growled / hissed → danger, teasing, frustration

murmured / breathed → intimacy, vulnerability

snapped / barked / snapped back → irritation, defensiveness

laughed / chuckled / giggled → laughing, fun, playful or flirty

asked / questioned / queried / inquired → curiosity, questioning

demanded / insisted → authority or control

sighed / groaned → fatigue, exasperation, longing

When you're looking to replace said, think about why. You'll generally want to do this when you need the following:

when the tone of the line needs more context.

when you want to show emotion instead of telling it.

when your character’s body language, action, or expression can do the talking instead.

Take a look at the scene you're writing, is the character saying their line? Or are they yelling it? Screaming it? Are they enraged, or perhaps is their voice a broken whisper from grief?

This is one of the comics I drew about Rawan’s life to draw attention to her campaign.

Last donation was a week ago. This is Rawan’s only access to education, as she has to pay $50 to study in a cafe for a day. She lives far from her university and in a zone with no transportation, so all her courses and assignments are online, but she doesn’t have electricity or an internet connection at home, so this cafe’s wifi is her only option.

Though she still has a lot of trouble focusing and sleeping, not being constantly surrounded by tanks and bombs has helped a lot and she says her grades so far are good, unlike last year, so she’s hopeful this can actually be her last year before she can get her degree and start looking for work online.

Please pitch in to support her in her studies if you can. She can only count on this campaign for this wifi access. Even $5 goes a long way and just sharing these posts helps a ton too 🙏

I am reham, his condition, and all the families of Gaza are very difficult, they do not have the necessities of life, no medicine, no food, no health, no education, nothing but death and destruction I appeal to everyone who sees my campaign to stand by my family, Whether by donating or sharing the story with your friends to raise an amount that will help my family get out of Gaza safely 💔🍉

I am a nurse at Nasser and Al-Khair Hospital in Khan Yunis I also used to work for Dentist K But at the present time, I have lost my job, which was a source of income for me and my family in the past, and now all I will have left is the donation link that I made in order to help my family, about thousands.But it takes time I hope to achieve the goal of my campaign.

I also want to do charitable work and spread the first aid course to children and women because we really need that urgently at the present time because of this war and genocide that we are exposed to.I lost my brother because of this war, and I really miss him. The loss is painful.

My mother is sick and needs treatment, and my little brother, whose name is Ali, suffered from jaundice due to the food contamination to which we were exposed. Your donation, I use it for my family and provide them with healthy food.

I have been afflicted with a great emptiness and depression because of his distance from me. I hope you pray for him too, may God have mercy on him. 💔🥺🙏

HEY PLEASE STOP SCROLLING! IF YOU CAN DONATE TO REHAM AND HER FAMILY❗️❗️❗️

Here are some crazy grasshopper mouse facts for those who are not familiar with the most badass mouse species on the planet

- They are primarily carnivorous, and their diet is made up of not only bugs but also snakes, lizards and other mice.

- They hunt like true predators, slowly stalking and creeping up on their prey before ambushing them. They will sometimes let out a screech as they attack.

- Like wolves, they howl to establish territory and have a specially developed throat to produce louder vocalizations. They will stand up on their hind legs and throw their head back to howl- a sound that can be heard from 100 meters away!

- Grasshopper mouse behavior is linked to lunar cycles and they are more active during a full moon.

Hey guys, I know I haven't been posting much stuff here and I know when it comes to money most people are tight but I need some help....

My pockets are coughing up moths and my job is stiffing me when it comes to hours in a economic environment where things are getting more and more expensive. Some extra change my way would REALLY help right now if you're able to spare it.

$2,500 is a lofty goal nowadays and something I hope to reach, but in all honesty, just reaching $750 would be great.

I also need money to help pay in replacing my computer screen as my cats tipped it over and it currently flickering on occasion.

My shop still has two adoptables up to grab so you don't have to leave empty handed.

Please reblog and spread this around, the farther this gets out there, the better chance someone with extra cash to lend can see this.

MY BEST FRIEND NEEDS OUR HELP!

Many of you might know Dorka. She is a beloved member of our fandom communities, and her art has inspired many people. She has been especially influential in the OK KO fandom, and she used to host Voxman Week every year before I stepped in to help out.

All this time that my friend has been sharing her art with the world, she has been quietly suffering through some of the worst conditions I have ever seen. She is grossly mistreated by her family members, and her apartment is a cramped nightmare of junk and grime she cannot escape.

I'm calling on all of you now - please rally with me around Dorka so that she may finally begin to live an acceptable, peaceful life like she deserves! 🙏

Please, let's keep the momentum going! Even just reblogging makes a huge difference! You never know who might end up seeing this because of YOUR reblog chain! 💕💕💕

$315 / $15,000

For anyone who would prefer other methods of donating, I have Paypal, Venmo, and Cashapp set up to receive for this fundraiser! Everything donated will be directly used to help my friend!

She deserves to smile. She deserves to be healthy. She deserves to finally feel like she can breathe (metaphorically and LITERALLY).

I know we're all going through a lot these days but that is all the more reason for us to look out for one another.

Your small act of kindness can save her life! 🙏

By reblogging, you give Dorka's story the chance to be seen by someone who has the means to donate! Your small action could change everything for her!

Here are a couple insta stories Dorka shared - one from last night and one from this morning. She gave me permission to share them with you all because I think it's important that you all hear from her.

My best friend's health has been poor for a very long time, but she's especially suffering right now due to the cold/flu or some sort of other illness. She has untreated asthma and likely other lung complications because her mother constantly smokes inside their apartment. Her already-weak lungs are struggling to keep up with this suffering, and she is genuinely terrified that she will die. Her family also REFUSES to help her get to a doctor! 💔

PLEASE HELP HER ESCAPE THIS HELLHOLE SHE LIVES IN! SHE MUST HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO AFFORD HER OWN APARTMENT SPACE AND SHE IS NOT AT ALL MAKING ENOUGH MONEY ON HER OWN. SHE NEEDS US! 🙏
