I don't know who the fuck this is but this image hasn't left my phone in years.

I’ve been using the em dash since my fanfic days LOL. Periods, commas, colons, semicolons. They’re all excellent tools. But sometimes I feel like people get turned off by the semicolon because it reminds them of writing a school project. The emdash just slides right by.

Felt this in my bones. I’m guilty of it at times too, but these days I try to be upfront if a story does or doesn’t grab me. I don’t like faking engagement just for views. I also can’t really keep up with constant shout-outs and feedback loops. It’s exhausting. And YES, it can feel like an...

I try to keep it simple, I use said, unless they really did shout or yell or something. It's better to bridge the dialogue with an action or observation or something or even just let it be. I used to agonizing over dialogue tags ngl. This post inspired me to make this meme.

Gif is peak af. Genuinely how it feels to drink a crisp cold glass of water in the middle of the night after falling asleep with your fan pointing directly at your face.

When I was younger, an older coworker once told me: “If you're doing things right, no one will say anything at all.” That’s what I tell myself now when I get no feedback lmao. There are always going to be a few people who feel the need to be harsh about something they don’t enjoy. Usually, you...

Fair enough. I didn't really like it my first go either but watching the AKotSK show kind of got me in the mood for it. Gave it some time and I really started to enjoy the ride. Probably the show helps a lot too. Most games will run on the Deck with some light tweaking too so Total War SHOULD...

Playing Kingdom Come Deliverance on mine right now, plays BEAUTIFUL and goes on sale for like 5$ often and pairs well with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Also heard the second one runs well on the Deck too and I'm super stoked to dig into it when I get the chance after the first. I really do...

Reading your dialogue aloud and even acting out the motions you’re describing can go a long way toward making your characters/relationships feel believable. As for the “how to write a believable relationship” part that’s honestly hard to pin down. At least for me. There are so many ways to...

No autopilot, but like Steven King said, writing is a form of self-hypnosis. Definitely enter some kind of trance.

What helps me is using the old Josh Sawyer method from Fallout New Vegas. In an interview he explained that you don’t need anything overly complex just a few subtle tricks to make the player (or reader, in this case) feel like the world is far bigger than it actually is. All it takes are brief...

For discovery sake it's better to break them up, yeah. I did the same thing once TvT. It's especially important if you want that feedback, more of a chance people see your story.

If you're like me you probably won't get anything done writing in the dark. I'm about to be done with my first novel and I would have never made it this far by just keeping it to myself until it was ready to post. For most new stories updating 2X a week is a sweet spot, but really just...

AHHHHHHHH. Really she is an amazing artist and has an amazing story that's paired with her own art! I'm honored to be included. Literally punching the floor crying tears of joy is the feeling and or the vibe. :blob_catflip...

Shovel POV went so hard in this scene.

Some friends and I were chatting last night about forgotten cartoon classics. Since most of us are Millennials or right in that Gen Z bracket that basically grew up on the same stuff but just missed the cutoff. You know, the 4Kids era and all that. We started tossing out old shows, and man...

Post reminds me of that one Breaking Bad episode where Jessie starts digging a hole in the backyard in front of a meth-head and the meth-head walks out and approaches Jessie scratching his arm being all like, "Why are you digging?" and Jessie goes, "You know why..." and then the meth-head just...

How it feels to work real hard and write a lot and do research and pour your thoughts and emotions and all that junk into your work and a borderline SA case in the making of a story gets 50x times the views. I’m joking, please don’t come for me. But seriously, OP is right lmao, some of the...

Write your heart out first. Worry about fine-tuning later. A lot of people will tell you to make everything perfect as you go, but I’ve learned it’s better to just let your mind run wild. Jot down random scenes, bits of dialogue with nothing between them, whatever comes to you. Then go back and...
