Anyone have anything I could do sense I'm bored?
• your aloud to be passionate about a dumb story
break up your paragraphs. big paragraphs are scary, your readers will get scared
fuuuuck epithets. “the other man got up” “the taller woman sat down” “the blonde walked away” nahhh. call them by their names or rework the sentence. you can do so much better than this (exception: if the reader doesn’t know the character(s) you’re referring to yet, it’s a-okay to refer to them by an identifying trait)
blunette is not a thing
new speaker, new paragraph. please.
“said” is such a great word. use it. make sweet love to it. but don’t kill it
use “said” more than you use synonyms for it. that way the use of synonyms gets more exciting. getting a sudden description of how a character is saying something (screaming, mumbling, sighing) is more interesting that way.
if your summary says “I suck at summaries” or “story better than summary” you’re turning off the reader, my dude. your summary is supposed to be your hook. you gotta own it, just like you’re gonna own the story they’re about to read
follow long sentences w short ones and short ones w long ones. same goes for paragraphs
your writing is always better than you think it is. you just think it’s bad because the story’s always gonna be predicable to the one who’s writing it
i love u guys keep on trucking
Wait qotd stands for quote of the day?!? I thought it was just one of those things like lmao which doesn't stand for anything but people say randomly?!?
you know you’re in too deep when you automatically read qotd as queen of the damned instead of question of the day
Are you guys just finding out God dosent give a fuck about any of us?
God just really didnt want me to experience romance huh
I don't understand sports. The only sport I understand is quiditch. By I would watch football if everyone was actually trains.
american football is WILD
But armond is much more of a hand eater.
Hilarious! XD

:D
Some more music no one asked for.
have you ever loved a lyric so much that when you hear it feels like your heart is trying to burst out of your body
This reminds me about how I still get barbies from relatives and I didn't even like barbies when I was younger.
it’s just so funny how you can just click with some people but not others, like you can meet a new friend who completely gets you in like 2 weeks and yet have a parent or relative who still doesn’t know your simplest likes and dislikes after 20 years. its weird

It’s shorter than the usual resource master post, but I found some great resources and I think this is a good jumping-off point for those who are including a royal court in the world building of their story.
