Hey, I suck at writing any tips or tricks.

WHO TOLD YOU THAT LIE?! 

I’LL FITE EM!!! SWEAR ON ME MUM, I’LL FITE EM!!!!

Ok, but in all seriousness...

@januarycarnation you’re just starting out. No one is expecting perfection from you. You’re taking chances and making mistakes, true.

But you’re also getting better.

So yeah, of course the first couple of drafts are going to be very good, but you’ve already accomplished something that I took forever to accept.

You know how to take criticism.

You already know that when some one give you suggestions that they’re not coming from a mean, hateful place. And BECAUSE of that you can improve at at faster rate than i did. So give yourself a pat on the back for that.

You deserve it.

But as far as ACTUAL tips and tricks go, there’s usually three rules that i follow.

Don’t write every day - Granted this MAY NOT be the best advice for some people, but i find that writing everyday can REALLY burn you out to the point where you don’t ever want to do it again. So maybe pace yourself???Just get it out - It’ll probably be horrible, but if you writing out everything you WANT to have happen, you can always go back and fluff it up with all your descrpitions and feelings later. Ya gotta have a skeleton before you have a body. Give yourself deadlines - Granted don’t give yourself WEEKLY deadlines (refer back to point one). But definitely maintain a sense of responsibility. Not for you and not to say that you’re not responsible, but if your readers are taking the time to read, comment, and like your work they deserve updates at a reasonable pace. At the same time, make sure that your audience knows just what sort of challenges that might delay the content they love. I’ve found everyone to be incredibly understanding and i’m immensely thankful for all the support.

Hopefully that answers your question. Thank you for your ask and i hope i helped you in some way, shape, or form!

The best of wishes to you and your future work, i can’t wait to see how you’ll grow as a writer!

GM Moodboard 10: Chapter 12: Faithful to a Fault, But Whose?

“Sifair smiled again, Stepping closer to the Blue Paladin. Wrapping her arms around him in the best hug Lance had ever received since joining this quiznacking space war. She was warm and soft all around him. Like a huge mother bear. You know that she was terrifyingly deadly, but, at the same time, she's one of the best things in the world to have at your side.

Lance wanted to cry.

"Even if no one admits that they value you, I always will. Come to me anytime, and I'll talk your ears off about how much I appreciate all that you've done Dearest. You helped saved the universe love! And...more importantly, you gave me back my son."

Lance straight up cried.”

Chapter Song: Vitamin String Quartet - Rockabye

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $60,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

Your Arab aren't you? Have you ever dated a terrorist

nah I’m not into white guys sry

What do you think of a lotidge Sweeny Todd au pidge as Sweeney Todd and lotor as lucky barker and just because Keith as there child

I think you mean Lucy Baker??? I love the idea of a Sweeney Todd Au! Though I don’t think Pidge quite fits the role of a sadistic barber, that seem’s more Lotor’s style. What with his L’Oreal hair and all. And Keith? As a Lotidge kid???

Yes!

Though killing Pidge off like Lucy pains me, I can’t resist a murderous Lotor stopping at nothing for the sake of his vengeance. And having Axca as Mrs. Lovett would be really cool. 

Overal 10/10 AU and bonus points for all the gore and angst <3
