some height difference prompts

i’m always scaring you on accident because 1) i walk silently 2) you never see me coming because i’m literally over a foot shorter than you 3) you just really don’t pay any attention to anything below chin level do you 

you always put things on the top shelves because that’s pretty much eye level to you and so you think it makes sense but exCUSE ME, IF YOU HAVEN’T NOTICED YET I’M ACTUALLY THE SIZE OF A SEVENTH GRADE CHILD AND WHY ARE YOU PUTTING EVERYTHING ON THE TOP SHELVES THAT’S BASICALLY A DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERIC LAYER TO ME YOU SENTIENT TREE

“how tall are you even??” “like six seven i think, idk” “what the fuck” 

i have to stand on a chair to be intimidating when i yell at you and you always start laughing at how ridiculous i look and damn it your cuTE LAUGH ISN’T GOING TO MAKE ME LESS ANGRY STOP HUGGING ME PUT ME DOWN I’M STILL MAD AT YOU

everyone seems to expect me to be some evil angry midget because i’m so short but i’m actually really chill, it’s my tall friend over there who’s pretty much satan 

stop being a snarky salt lord or i will elbow you in the crotch with no regrets. that’s what you get for being tall and an asshole. 

this is really awkward because i swear i know what your face looks like but i always recognize you by the top of your head and today you wore a hoodie/hat/coat so i was looking for you for about half an hour before you took off the hood/hat and i realized who you were

i love seeing professors getting super excited before talking about the only infix in English it’s so funny

[shotgunheart]

#an infix is an affix that happens in the middle of the word#an affix is a prefix or suffix#our only infix is “fucking” lmao#like fan-fucking-tastic#or abso-fucking-lutely#it’s just so funny the profs always get a huge smile#and gets all cheeky

THIS IS SO COOL. Like I knew that it was a thing, I just didn’t realize it was such a UNIQUE THING.

[archangelruind]

my friend is studying for the mcat and was just trying to explain to me about heat transfer and she said ‘you know, like the reason you get cold when you go outside on a freezing day is that your tiny human body is trying to warm up the entire universe’ and i think that’s the best thing i have ever heard

If Germans voted in the US presidential election.

[wildlingsrise]

I am sorry but until you live in America I don’t think you should have any opinion.

[allthingsgerman]

The rest of the world will stop having an opinion on American politics once America stops fucking with the rest of the world. Sure, Trump and his love of nuclear weapons certainly wouldn’t have an effect on the rest of the world. Or you know when you decide to attack the Middle East again because oil or some “we shall bring them democracy and freedom”-bullshit….

They don’t get a vote, but they sure as fuck can voice their opinions all they want.

[lotrlocked]

…literally the US has made damn sure that it matters to the rest of the world, so yes, the rest of the world does get to have an opinion on our bullshit politics

Characters who control fire are like 99% always wild card hot headed folks more akin to wild fires than anything else. But what about fire characters based off of other typs of fire. The controlled and precise hear of a blacksmiths flame, skilled, determined, hardworking. Or the flames of a fireplace, calm and soothing a person who puts community first, the team mom wreathed in flames.

“Can I go home now?”

“I’d kinda prefer that you stay here so I can make sure you don’t choke on your own vomit when you puke again.”

“You’re probably my best friend.”

“That’s probably very nice.”

Plot Doctoring: 9 Steps to Build a Strong Plot

Like the main event itself, NaNo Prep is always better with an incredible writing community around you. Luckily, our forums come with such a ready-made community. Inspired by the Plot Doctoring forum, we asked Derek Murphy, NaNoWriMo participant, to share his thoughts on plotting, and he outlined his 9-step plotting diagram:

Here’s a truth: you must write badly before you can write well. 

Everybody’s first draft is rubbish. It’s part of the process, so don’t worry about it. The writing can be polished and fixed and improved later, after NaNoWriMo, during the editing stages.

What most writers get out of NaNoWriMo is a collection of great scenes that don’t necessarily fit into a cohesive story—and that’s a problem if you want to produce something publishable.

Nearly all fiction follows some version of the classical hero’s journey: a character has an experience, learns something, and is consequently improved. There are turning points and scenes that need to be included in your story—if they are missing it won’t connect with readers in an emotionally powerful way. And it’s a thousand times easier to map them out before you write your book.

It’s 2138, and at the age of 21 everyone can select just one super power granted by the government. Now 21, You go to your local courthouse to select your superpower and discover in the records, one power everyone has completely overlooked.

2,108 words down for NaNo- I’d like to add another thousand before midnight so I can a bit of padding for later when work isn’t cooperative with writing life.
