Pronoucing Wlw “woulez-wous”

the other day i started writing an office romance but i quickly remembered that i have no idea what working in an office is like

my writing process is just flipping back and forth between "i am unworthy of the written word" and "i am a literary god" and there is literally no in between

Here's something I don't see writers practicing enough: how big things can permanently change your character.

I see people putting their characters through war, abusive relationships, health disorders, and intense grief. Since popular writers often fail here, I hope you guys are also considering how these things will affect your character in the long run. I don't mean "Oh, they have bad dreams now and are jerks to everyone, but only for a little while." I mean has their entire outlook on life changed dramatically, and if so how? Does it show? Do they try to hide it and move on, or do they accept that this is who they are now? Does it take them a long time or a short time to realize things can never again be the way they were? How does that affect them? Do they choose to keep this new personality, or do they try to change it?

Not everyone wants to acknowledge this type of development in a character because it gets in the way of their plans or disrupts plot. Also, some characters are made of stern stuff or are just flexible enough to survive with their personality intact. Yet, major events in a story should leave a noticeable impact on a character, the more personal the event generally the bigger the personality change.

Just think about it if you haven't already, y'know?

Imagine if

Harry Potter was written by Rick Riordan 

Surprisingly, the only person I don’t have crush on is Rowan, but don’t misunderstand me, I could still kill for her

Mr. Anderson thinks that everything inside of him is worthless and embarrassing. Isn’t that right, Todd? Isn’t that your worst fear? Well, I think you’re wrong. I think you have something inside of you that is worth a great deal. “I sound my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world.”

My tarot deck keeps calling me out, this is proof I must be a real witch
