It’s been a while and a lot has happened!
I moved to another country and just got diagnosed with an autoimmune disease haha…
It’s been painful doing normal things but I’m getting better! I haven’t been writing anymore but I definitely want to pick it up again.
Kind of a sporadic update but I did delete some of my earlier posts since moving so that’s why it may seem out of the blue.

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four
If you want to write as a job, you need to treat it like a job
Write even when you don't want to
It's true! Back before I developed my writing habits, I solved not wanting to write by having one hour per day that was Writing Software Time. At seven each afternoon, I'd open my word processor on my manuscript document, and whether I wrote or not, that window would stay open and maximized for the full hour. Now staring at an empty page isn't very fun, so I'd more often than not try writing something just to have something to do. More often than not, I'd end up writing some semi-decent stuff.
doctor diagnosed me with oc sickness in the brain; the ocs will spin around in my brain forever and ever

this is very tentative and not an actual promise to do it but: please interact with this post (like/reply/reblog) if you’d like to be on a taglist for posted chapters of The Vampire and The Devilspawn. (god i need a better title)
1. you will only be tagged when a chapter is posted. this is not for snippets or any other related posts.
2. This story is about a hungry and angry vampire. There is blood and violence, and potential for other related content warnings.
3. i am still in the midst of writing this book. i don’t know what the ending will look like. i don’t know how exactly im going to get there. i am a pantser. come along for the ride :)
4. thank you <3
A quick tip for writing an author bio
If you’re struggling to write an author bio, write a character sheet for yourself. Think of yourself as a character in your book, and not as you, the person.
If you were to tell someone about you, the character, and what makes you interesting, what would you say?
these are my mutuals. they know who they are
Whole-heartedly BEGGING writers to unlearn everything schools taught you about how long a paragraph is. If theres a new subject, INCLUDING ACTIONS, theres a new paragraph. A paragraph can be a single word too btw stop making things unreadable
Ok So I’m getting more notes than I thought quicker than I expected! So I’m gonna elaborate bc I want to.
I get it, when you’re someone who writes a lot and talks a lot, it’s hard to keep things readable, but it’s not as much about cutting out the fat(that can be a problem) so much as a formatting issue.
You are also actively NERFING yourself by not formatting it correctly, it can make impactful scenes feel so, so much better. Compare this,
To THIS.
Easier to read, and hits harder.
No more over-saturated paragraphs. Space things out.
@s1ld3n4f1l WAIT WAIT WAIT SO TRUE LITERALLY LITERALLY
This ones really popular, so I guess a lot of people agree with it, but anyone else see this and just think its super wrong? Like, yeah, don't overload or "over-saturate" your paragraphs, but don't do this either(and I'm going of the example for my point)
Paragraph breaking this often is incredibly annoying to read and unnecessary. Also, it's wrong. Now if you're writing fan fiction, some A03 stuff or something, then okay do whatever you want(I know that's what a lot of people on Tumblr are doing so maybe this just isn't geared at me) exactly . If you're writing poetry, again, do whatever you want. If you're writing some House of Leaves type shit, do whatever you want
Ignoring that
When you have an individual line, all by itself, it creates emphasis. When you do that too often, especially one after another, it looses all emphasis and is just annoying because it takes up more page space. This is ignoring how its also just wrong and the random ellipsis make no sense, and I don't think the en-dash is used right
Where was I going with this? I had a point, lost it, don't care enough to fix it, yeah. Anyways, all that to do with the camera stuff doesn't make sense either. Nine changes in camera angle? For such a simple(not saying its bad, but its simple) scene?
i wish my book was written so i could share it and talk to more people about it but unfortunately that's going to take 79 business years. approximately

How long has your world existed?
How many major cultures exist in your world? (You can answer the following questions for each of them!)
How did your world originate? Do the people who inhabit this world/culture have a creation myth, or a scientific explanation for how it came to be?
If your world/culture has religion, is there one main religion, or many religions? Are the main religions of your world monotheistic or pantheistic?
What resources are in your world/culture? What are the imports/exports? Which resources are rare and valuable, and which are necessary or common?
What are some important historic events in your world/culture? How did they contribute to the geographic or social structures that exist in your world’s present day?
What holidays does your world/culture celebrate?
What is considered a curse word in your world/culture? What is considered sacred, and what is considered profane?
What is the geography and climate of your world/culture?
What are the distances between important places in your world? Draw a map if you want to!
What is the structure of your world’s/culture’s government? Are they at peace or in conflict with neighboring worlds/cultures?
What language(s) do your characters speak? Is language ever a barrier to communication?
What are some of the main dishes the people in your world/culture eat? Where does the food come from, and how is it prepared?
What are the limitations of power, energy, or magic in your world/culture?
What kinds of objects or ideas are familiar to the people of your world/culture? What kind of objects or ideas are strange or outlandish to them? Note: the answers to this might vary depending on the culture your various characters (and readers) come from! What’s familiar to you or your main character might be wildly unfamiliar to someone else.
What are some details you can use from real-world places that are similar to your story world to make it feel more believable? (Think concrete: Sights, sounds, tastes, smells, textures)
How does your main character feel about the world/culture they grew up in?
What does your main character’s home look like? You can describe their room, their house, their neighborhood, their city.
Does your main character most often interact with people who share their experiences, worldview, and upbringing, or do they most often interact with people from very different cultures and life experiences from themselves? What are some of those similarities or differences?
Where does your main character fit into the class/social status of your world/culture? What are some specific things about their location or appearance that indicate wealth, status, profession, etc.?

We all agree, right?
AI to write your novel is wrong
A bargain with a demon to write your novel is okay

the secret to life is always having something to look forward to
to anyone saying there's nothing to look forward to, I'm not saying it has to be anything spectacular or huge. it could just be a song or a book that will release in a few days, a tv show, anything!! no matter how small it seems it can keep us going
stop using chatgpt!!!! take a bronze pin and carve your questions onto an ox scapula, then toss it into the fire!!!! use the cracks to divine the gods answer!!!!
citations still have to be APA 7th edition though. if you plagiarise, the gods will flood the yellow river again. and you'll lose your academic standing.
