When writing couples, I like to use the Kiss Rule:
If they have to kiss for you to know theyâre in love, youâre not writing a romance right.
I couldnât agree more with this. As someone who has been married for 7 years (together for 9), kissing hardly proves anything of love, at least on its own. The starry-eyed lover type of intimacy is cute, but using it exclusively is like eating fondant off a cake. Itâs sweet, looks polished and pretty, but lacks robust the flavour of combined elements â fillings, frosting, toppings, and the cake itself.
Itâs gestures often overlooked, silent acts of respect without calling attention to them. Subtleties mixed with the obvious.
The good, bad, and the ugly.
playful banter, ribbing, insults/backhanded compliments
recognising ticks/tells and how to respond (e.g. specific throat clear before they speak)
tolerating inconsequential bad habits (e.g. puts dishes beside dishwasher, not in it)
listening to the same stories multiple times as if they were new
developing similar quirks (e.g. particular laugh)
inside jokes
mock fighting, mini competitions
blatant honesty, humble apologies, knowing when to drop an argument
saying nothing/talking for hours
tending to illness or injuries
pokes, pet/pats, head/shoulder bumps, bites, tickles, cuddling, long gazes, stroking hair
grooming, restraighten clothing, touch up hair, brush off crumbs
singing and dancing together
understanding your partnerâs hurt rather than just apologising
trust and respect
knowing how to cheer the other up, how to piss them off, humour them
reassurance (e.g. Iâm here to talk, youâre doing a great job, your insecurities donât define you)
associating sights, smells, touches, songs, phrasing, etc with them (e.g. âI saw a pigeon today and thought âis this my partner?ââ
hating dumb things they do, but finding them hard to live without and secretly loving them
compromising, sacrificing, reciprocation
Love is unspoken, tolerant, and a spectrum of emotions.
Itâs accepting that youâll fuckinâ hate their entire being at times, exclaim with vitriol, âgod, youâre so fucking annoyingâ while you smile and know that itâs trivial in the grand scheme.
Itâs real. Itâs healthy. Itâs fun. Thatâs what I try to encapsulate in my sappy romantic fiction because realistic fluff is so much more gratifying.
I hope this helps.
iâve been doing my homework on how to break into a writing career and honestly. thereâs a Lot that i didnât know about thats critical to a writing career in this day and age, and on the one hand, its understandable because weâre experiencing a massive cultural shift, but on the other hand, writers who do not have formal training in school or donât have the connections to learn more via social osmosis end up extremely out of loop and working at a disadvantage.Â
like, i didnt know about twitter pitch parties!! i didnt know about literary agents and publishers tweeting their manuscript wishlist, in hopes that some poor soul out there has written the book they really want to read and publish!! this isnt some shit you learn about in school! you really need to know the ins and outs of the writing community to be successful!Â
for anyone interested, hereâs what iâve learned so far in my quest for more writing knowledge:
1. Writerâs Market 2019 is a great place to startâ it gives you a list of magazines and journals that you can send your work to depending on the genre as well as lists a shit ton of literary agents that specify what genres they represent, how you can get in contact with them and how they accept query letters. this is a book that updates every year and tbh i only bought it this year so i dont know how critical it is to have an updated version Â
2. do your research. mostly on literary agents because if you listed on your site that you like to represent fluffy YA novels and some asshole sends you a 80k manuscript about likeâŠgritty viking culture, you will be severely pissed off. always go in finding someone who you know will actually like your work because theyâre the ones who will try to advocate for you in getting published.
3. learn how to write a query letter. there are slightly varying formulas to how you can write an effective query letter. youâre also going to want to get feedback on your query letter because its the first thing the literary agent will read and based on how well you do it, it could be the difference between them rejecting you outright and giving your manuscript a quick read
4. unfortunately, youâre gonna want to get a twitter. Twitter is where a lot of literary agents are nowadays, and they host things like twitter pitch parties, where you pitch your manuscript in a few sentences and hashtag it with #Pitmad #Pitdark, some version of pit. a lot of literary agents and publishers will ALSO post their manuscript wishlists, which is just the kind of books theyâd like to represent/publish, and they hashtag this with #MSWL (it is NOT for writers to use, only for agents/publishers)
5. connect with other writers, literary agents, publishers at book events. you will absolutely need the connections if you want to get ahead as a writer. thats just kind of the state of the world.

Bagel what are your powers
FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterdayâs night âjust for fun and because I donât want any bagel to be mad with meâ, and todayâs afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.
THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD
I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD
The bagel hasnât let me down yet!

Shiiiiit. I reblogged, and I got $750 in two days for basically nothing! The first day this client/POT asked my agent to invite some girls and I to his end. We basically sipped wine and left with $500 each. He called me yesterday and we took a ride on my highway and gave me $250đđđ. Money blogs everyday any day!

here is a super helpful website for this kinda thing!
the first result isnât always the one youâre looking for but when you press enter itâll give you a ton of words related to your query thatâll probably have what youâre wanting, or something better
hereâs some examples:
Reblog to save a writerâs sanity (the last bit thatâs left)
ok so thereâs a game me and my friends play called âdonât get me startedâ and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and itâs the best thing thatâs ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends
I love this idea. We used to do things like this in Improv.
Related game: âTHINK ABOUT IT.â Youâre given a random topic, and your job is to build it into an epic conspiracy theory, the crazier the better. You end your rant with a serious face and the command that your listeners âThink about it.âÂ
Another related game: Illuninati. Similar to Think About It except you are given 2 completely different topics and you have to connect them to each other in a wild conspiracy rant
Rb to safe an awkward hang out
me and my friends play âWorldâs Greatest Expertâ where one of the other players says âHey, I heard youâre the worldâs greatest expert on ____â and you have to give an in depth (and probably completely false) lecture about the thing youâre the greatest expert on. Other players are allowed to ask you questions.
Remind me to show this to my drama teacher for when we do improv games

HOLY SHIT
If there was a way to run SUPER MEGA AD BLOCKER on this website I fucking would
âPlease oh please open up your computer to a porn virus! If you donât youâre evil!â
Freeloader Cominâ through!
We didnât start this war internet users have with ads - We might have moaned about banner ads, but it was only when they started making noises when we might be listening to music or a podcast or whatever, causing two sound sorces at once, that we started trying to block ads universally rather than just a specific type of ad (pop ups).
And since then ads have gotten worse - Actual malware rather than merely breaking one of the fundamental sins of web design - though shalt not autoplay anything with sound. And the more aggressive a website is with âplease turn off adblockâ the less I trust it to bother to vet ads and advertisers to make sure theyâre not installing malware.
Not to mention that the idea that avoiding ads is âfreeloadingâ is hilariously backward. Advertisement is a transaction between the platform and the advertiser, the user has no obligation to provide the views/clicks the platform has promised. Using an adblocker isnât freeloading in the same way that leaving the room to get a snack during a commercial break isnât cheating the tv network.
Ok yâall, I work as a web developer and Iâm here to tell you that you are 100% right and that itâs shit. SO Iâm going to tell you how to get around websites that block you from using their website if youâre using an adblocker.Â
Every website uses a language called JavaScript; long story short itâs a website language that allows developers to do the crazy shit you see on websites. Now the easiest thing to do is to disable JavaScript to stop them from knowing you have an adblocker:
Oh no! Iâm blocked from viewing the website. It would be a terrible shame if I were able to right click and select the âinspectâ feature
Click the three dots in the top right and open the âSettingsâ Menu
And then scrolled down to âDebuggerâ and checked the âDisable Javascript Optionâ
And then just refreshed the page
There are lots of ways to help in political crises. Protesting, voting, joining unions, calling your asshole representatives so they know their days in office are numbered, making sure people know their rights, protecting immigrants and minorities-in-general who live in your neighborhood, etc. are all good,
but in terms of the human rights violations happening in America right now, hereâs something more immediate you can do.

My professor talked about how women arenât used to asking for things in the work place, such as raises, because weâre conditioned to downplay our achievements and hold off on asserting our value. She discussed how, even now at this stage in her career (a published doctrate), she shakes when she askes to be considered for a raise and about the first time she was really successful at getting one. After class I asked her what she asked her boss and she winked at me, took me to her office, and asked me to take notes.
She said she practiced this technique like 5 times in her office before she requested a meeting with her boss. Iâm gonna share it with you guys because I really loved it.
You start off by thanking your employer for their support (whatever that means in the context of your work environment). You then say that you would like to take some time to discuss next yearâs salary. You say, allow me to refresh your memory regarding some of my accomplishments or contributions from the past year, and you present a written summary of all that youâve done. You close by saying, I hope that next yearâs salary reflects this list of contributions and you thank them for their time and see yourself out.
I just loved how she made it seem so much less daunting of a task. She said not to underestimate your achievements as women have a tendency underreporting what theyâve done.
The fact that she shared this with me really meant a lot as well as women really need to be there to empower each other and help guide each other towards success. So if you end up using this, let me know! I want to see how it works for you ^_^.
MY HEART HURTS....
IF YOU ARE NOT OUTRAGED BY WHAT IS HAPPENING THEN THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH YOU BECAUSE THIS IS INHUMANE....

HITRECORD WRITING CHALLENGE (stage 2 of 3)
THE SUM UP
Ok, writerly people, itâs time for stage two (of three) of the writing challenge Iâm leading on @hitrecord. If you havenât participated in the challenge in the first stage*, thereâs still time to do that here, but you can also participate in stage two without it.
*the first challenge asked you to write about a memory that you wouldnât want to lose.Â
THE CHALLENGE
Itâs FICTION time! Now that youâve dusted off the keyboard with a truthful memory, Iâd like to challenge you to write a short story about what it would look like if everyone in the world lost a year of memories ⊠the same year.Â
THE SPECS
The story can be any length. It can be any style, genre, etcetera. You have until Monday, June 24th to write it.Â
THE PRELIM WORK
It can be tempting to either a) jump right into a prompt with the first idea you have or b) retreat into a dark hole too intimidated to begin, but I find good writing comes from balancing these two impulses. I do a lot of preliminary brainstorming for my novels, and even though a short storyâs far less of a commitment, you can still help yourself out by asking yourself questions about it.
THE MOOD
what do you feel about the idea of losing a year of memories? horrified? relieved? apprehensive? powerful? powerless?Â
what are you in the mood for as a storyteller? Do you want to play around with a comedy? A bittersweet tale? An action thriller? A drama? A heightened period piece? You are telling the story to yourself first, so what are you in the mood for reading?
THE PREMISE
what interests you about this idea? What camera angle can you set to explore your interests more fully?
what other interests do you have? can you combine them? For instance, if youâre really into politics, you could write about a loss of a yearâs political memories. Are you a line chef? What happens to the dynamics of a nepotistic competitive kitchen when all memories of a yearâs drama are erased? Do you love high fantasy? Maybe youâre telling the story from the point of view of the enchanter who took the memories in the first place.
THE SETTING
close your eyes. Can you âseeâ any of the scene in your head?Â
try on other settings, too. What happens to your story if you set it underwater, on the moon, in 16th century England, in a hospital, entirely in a single bedroom, from the point of view of a dog, in a dentistâs waiting room, in an unexplained hallway with many doors, etc.
pick the setting that lets you explore the things you find most interesting about the idea.
THE CHARACTERS
Who is the most interesting and surprising camera angle for this? Who lets you look at the parts of the story you find interesting?
Remember that the prompt is big and covers the whole world, but your story doesnât have to. It can be as intimate as you like: one new motherâs realization that she canât remember if she actually carried to term and if she had children, a longtime teacher facing a row of students who are all suddenly new to her, a teen whose life was ruined by abuse finding the memory missing.
Remember youâre allowed to have multiple characters telling the story, but the more narrators you have, the more they spread emotional investment across them.Â
Remember to give your characters siblings, parents, jobs, pasts, family!
THE STORY
Classic stories are beginning, middle, end. You practiced this when you wrote your memories down - you decided when the memory started and ended, and what it meant to you. Thatâs all youâre doing now.Â
Story happens when things change. Your character should be a different person from the first line of your story to the last, or the world should be a different place from the beginning of the last. Story doesnât have to have a good or a bad change, but it does have to some kind of change.
Ask yourself questions to find out which answers interest you: who noticed the missing memory first? Whatâs the first thing that went wrong when the memories were gone? Whatâs the first thing that benefited from the memories missing? How did it matter to your characters - and can you show that rather than tell it? Prove that it mattered to them with a scene, instead of writing it out?
STRATEGIES FOR ACTUAL WRITING
Say your first sentence out loud, and then type it onto that blank page. Keep saying it out loud, if that helps. You can narrate your entire piece.
Do a first ugly pass where you simply type what happens, then go back after a few hours or the next day and start to clean up.
Skip the hard parts, or put them in brackets [fight here!][conversation here!] and then return.
If stuck, try writing it from a different characterâs point of view or in a different setting.
And rememberâŠ.
WRITE THE STORY YOU WANT TO READ WRITE THE STORY ONLY YOU CAN TELLÂ
Have fun, ask questions if you have them in the comments section on the project or here, and Iâll get to them if I can!
START WRITING HERE.
