Some advice for when you’re writing and find yourself stuck in the middle of a scene:

kill someone

ask this question: “What could go wrong?” and write exactly how it goes wrong

switch the POV from your current character to another - a minor character, the antagonist, anyone

stop writing whatever scene you’re struggling with and skip to the next one you want to write

write the ending

write a sex scene

use a scene prompt

use sentence starters

read someone else’s writing

Never delete. Never read what you’ve already written. Pass Go, collect your $200, and keep going.

[bookcharactersthough]

This is the literal best writing advice I have ever read. Period.

[anexperimentallife]

Special note: “Kill someone” means kill someone in the story. Please do not kill random real life passers by every time you hit a block. My lawyer says misunderstanding writing advice is not an acceptable defense. See you all in 25 to 50 years.

HUFFLEPUFF HOUSE

One of main things that you’ll discover about Hufflepuffs are that they will soon run out of patience, and the more you poke the badger, the quicker you will find that they also have teeth.

The Houses

Hufflepuff: Daisy chains, flower crowns, loose braids, stray strands of hair that tickle your nose, freckles, poems about friends, passing notes to people who look like they need cheering up, toothy grins, picnics in meadows with the people you love, cold lemonade on hot days, sticking your hand out an open window to feel the rain, spinning around until you're dizzy, bubbly laughter, natural shades of shimmery eyeshadow, soft smiles, singing happy songs at the top of your lungs and not caring who hears

Slytherin: Bitten lips, bold eyeliner, perfecting the art of raising one eyebrow, sharp cheekbones, the satisfying feeling of cracking your knuckles, sarcasm, trying to plan your whole life out, dancing en pointe, intricate braided hairstyles, nails bitten to stubs, resting your forehead against the cold window, writing quotes up your arms, musky perfume, holding your bare hands in snow until they're numb, practicing something until you can do it in your sleep, hiding your emotions

Ravenclaw: Ink splatters up your arms and the edges of your hands, smears of ink on your face that you've forgotten about, the strain in your arms from carrying too many books, the smell of a secondhand bookstore, drawing on your arms, falling asleep while reading, confusing people with long words, swearing in foreign languages, sketching random strangers, cold rain on your face on a warm day, vintage clothes, using pens and paintbrushes to tie your hair up, fruit smoothies

Gryffindor: Hand-me-down clothes, putting your hair in messy buns, running until your legs ache and your lungs burn, scraped knees, random bruises that you don't remember getting, wearing leather jackets on hot days and instantly regretting it, dirty jokes, laughing so much it hurts, piggyback rides, singing loud and off key without caring who hears, rosy cheeks, tangled hair, practicing self defense and half-wanting to get an opportunity to use it, the smell of cinnamon at Christmas, playing pranks on your friends and knowing there'll be payback
