Seriously Though, The Bat In That TikTok Puts Down One Clawed Foot After Another Pretty Quickly. It Might

noted

I've had this little idea in my head for a while now, so I decided to sit down and plot it out.

Disclaimer: This isn't meant to be some sort of One-Worksheet-Fits-All situation. This is meant to be a visual representation of some type of story planning you could be doing in order to develop a plot!

Lay down groundwork! (Backstory integral to the beginning of your story.) Build hinges. (Events that hinge on other events and fall down like dominoes) Suspend structures. (Withhold just enough information to make the reader curious, and keep them guessing.)

And hey, is this helps... maybe sit down and write a story! :)

The amount of unrecognized talent in this fandom is fucking criminal.

I definitely don't have any talent, but still

If you think about, an adaptation would boost the series popularity massively (if done well.). So the amount and quality of the stuff the fandom makes would probably increase as well. Even if it wasn't in the show, someone, somewhere, would probably draw Ripred in a bugs bunny style drag disguise.

I'm so conflicted with the TUC adaptation. like.

option A: The obvious answer and morally I have to take it. A somber tone overall but true to the wide range of emotions and scenes in the series. Does the books justice and everything aligns with the tone and world building of the original content.

Option B: Ripred gets a bugs bunny style drag disguise every so often

...um, could you explain a little bit? Please?

If Hamnet has 100 haters, im one of them

If Hamnet has 10 haters, im one of them

If Hamnet has 1 hater, its me

If the entire world is with Hamnet, im against the whole world

If Hamnet has no haters, i am dead

Show Don't Tell - Symptoms vs. the Affliction

              Another way to think of show don’t tell is to describe the symptoms rather than tell the affliction. You could say someone was close to fainting—or you could describe their symptoms and trust the readers to understand what they mean: the world swirled around her head, her ears beginning to hum lowly, then louder, increasing into a high-pitched ring. She took a deep breath, her stomach turning over itself. Etc.

              Symptoms can also mean the lump in your throat as a “symptom” of being sad enough to cry, or the warmth of your face as a “symptom” of embarrassment.

              That might sound a bit silly, but I find it really helpful when I’m reading over mine or others work and looking for those places where showing would be better than telling. Have you described the symptoms, or just told the affliction?

              Here’s a short list of “afflictions” and their associated “symptoms” to get you started (but make sure to explore how different characters express different afflictions, even in more odd or unusual ways!)

Any symptoms I missed?

I Will Edit and Give Feedback on Your Writing For Free

Hello all! As many of you know, I’m a part-time editor of non-fiction and writer of all things fiction, but I would love to get more experi

Have created a new novel-writing approach for myself that I am calling Very Gentle Writing. Very Gentle Writing is an approach for people who live nearly every waking second in self-castigation and actually need peaceful slowness to unleash their creativity. 

Very Gentle Writing does not set staggering word count goals and then feel bad about it. No! Very Gentle Writing for me sets an extremely low word count and then feels magnificently productive when the low bar is exceeded (which is easy…it’s a low bar, I mean really low). 

Very Gentle Writing is about saying hey yo maybe I just want to listen to a chill playlist for a while and feel one sentence spill out. Go me! 

Very Gentle Writing is kind of about realizing I have a really limited amount of time to write in between work, and adulting, and taking care of a thousand life responsibilities, and trying to heal&deal from trauma in 2020. So I want that writing time to be….just…..nice. 

Very Gentle Writing means I have a goal of enjoying every single time I sit down to write. Really. I use all the fun words first. 

Very Gentle Writing came to me as an idea when I started to think about how as someone actively trying to recover from a lot of lifelong trauma, the usual word harder!! Work harder!! mantras in the world of “people doing hard things” didn’t motivate me at all, they only hurt me. I truly need a voice saying work less hard, personally.

I want a rager leitmotif that plays whenever some starts raging, and whenever Ripred does it, visible fear washes over the faces of his enemies. I also want it to play during the tentacle fight in prophecy of Bane, with everyone being super confused and Twitchtip in the corner realizing "Oh shit, he's a rager".

you know what. tuc deserves a musical adaptation like lightning thief got. like i wanna see gregor open with an i want song, a regalia establishing number, a boots-and-the-cockroaches number, luxa gets a number as we get to know her, ripred gets the song that gets a million hits on youtube, henry gets an evil reprise of a previous number (probably with him and luxa), gorger gets a villain song, ares reprises maybe gregor's number??? and everyone has their own leitmotif and all the creatures would be puppets and it'd fuck so hard

My genuine reaction after learning that Ares and Ripred MIGHT have fucked at some point. That Ripred is denying it happened, but Vikus is saying Nerissa saw it in a vision??? Was it truly innocent like Ripred is claiming? I have so many questions that I am afraid to ask.

Also @ripred-tuc-offical please, I must know these rat curses that you taught Ares

interesting

remembered how library of alexandria part 2 happened when cs pacat removed all the really good writing advice from their website blog…it was so good for people who are 1 on the apple imagination scale…

Okay, so, here me out:

Gregor Campbell as Spider-Man, or Spider-Man's apprentice/successor.

Like, Peter is getting really old, and some of his wall-sticking ability is slipping. So he adds some assistance for that stuff in his suit. Then, later, Gregor comes against him fighting some villain, and he's losing untill Gregor jumps in and starts beating the shit out of them.

His rager thing goes out of control, one of them is about to die, but Peter stops him at the last moment, and they leave before the police arrive. Some words of advice later, "with great power comes great responsibility", and he leaves, but they keep on running into each other, and eventually, Gregor becomes his apprentice, because Peter is old as fuck, and wants to retire, while Gregor is still looking for purpose after leaving the Underland, and thinks this could be it

Would need to screw around with the timeline a bit, but I think it could be cool. Thoughts?
