PSA: stuttering in fics

as someone with a speech impediment, all of the people saying that only one type of stuttering is valid are wrong.

stuttering CAN look like this: "t-this is a-an example s-s-sentence"

OR this: "this-this is an example sen-sentence."

OR this: "t-t-t-th-..t-ttttthis is an example sentence."

OR this: "this is, uhm, an example, uh, sentence."

OR this: "this is an example sssssss-sentence."

OR this: "this is an examp-...this an example sentence."

sometimes the sentence won't even come out of your mouth at all.

there are probably many examples i'm forgetting, but that's the point! it usually is a mix of a few of these, but some people do one of them more often than others! some people with speech impediments have certain sounds that they almost consistently have trouble with (for me it's "st").

people with speech impediments also rarely-if ever-stutter whilst they're singing or whispering.

most importantly!!!! people with speech impediments are capable of saying a sentence without stuttering!! it can just be a gamble sometimes.

and if more people could portray the frustration that comes with stuttering and not being able to get words out, i'd be a very happy girl.

(fun fact: sometimes when my mouth won't let me say what i want to say, i get so annoyed that i just yell or grumble out "WORDS.")

this was your speech impediment PSA!!!!

calling all authors!!

i have just stumbled upon the most beautiful public document i have ever laid eyes on. this also goes for anyone whose pastimes include any sort of character creation. may i present, the HOLY GRAIL:

https://www.fbiic.gov/public/2008/nov/Naming_practice_guide_UK_2006.pdf

this wonderful 88-page piece has step by step breakdowns of how names work in different cultures! i needed to know how to name a Muslim character it has already helped me SO MUCH and i’ve known about it for all of 15 minutes!! i am thoroughly amazed and i just needed to share with you guys 

[theredscreech]

Cultures include Yoruba, Sikh, Vietnamese, Polish, and dozens more!

[conlangery]

This could also be a good staring point for conlangers looking for inspiration for personal name conventions.

Hey, everyone!

In no way am I asking you to do anything here, and I normally wouldn't post anything about it on my blogs for specific topics like this, but I wanted to get it out there.

My older brother is disabled, and we're trying to save up to get him a wheelchair van for safer transportation. He has his wheelchair, but we have to try and fit it in the back of our current vehicle, which can be a struggle sometimes, and the unproper seating is becoming unsafe as well. But he needs the transport both to go to his appointments and to get out for his own enjoyment.

Like I said, I normally wouldn't post this kind of thing here, but it's for my brother, y'know?

I'm not gonna ask you to donate - but if you can't, would you maybe consider sharing this around a little? Even getting it out there further would probably help a lot more than you think. Here's his gofundme

Wow, it's been a bit since I've posted on this blog!

Writing commissions are still open!

[the-real-nikki19]

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

[rose-of-pollux]

Reblog if you're a writer who doesn't use AI.

[creative-writing-shit]

Fuck ai man

And excuse me, "every writer already uses it anyway"? That's some shitty excuse if I've ever heard one. There are ways to look for AI generated work. It may be a little bit of a process sometimes, but if it makes competitions fair, then it's worth it. There are plenty of writers who don't use AI

Imagine being in a competition, writing your heart out and giving it your absolute all, and then the winner of the competition turns out to have used AI for their submission(s). The winner of that competition would have spent 5 minutes (if that) asking AI to write something FOR THEM just so they can say that they won something.

That's not fair to all of the writers who are actually trying and submitting original work. Anyone who thinks that submitting AI to any sort of competition need to rethink. Because in no way is that fair or okay. There are people who are actually TRYING their best, and you are over here spending all of 5 minutes submitting some bullshit that you didn't even write. I'm sorry, but that just makes you an asshole.

Edit: Out of curiosity, does anyone happen to know what competition this is? I want to stay away from it now lmao

[creative-writing-shit]

I've decided to start doing Writing Commissions!

I've put together a cool little info sheet too, have a look:

Hopefully, this will actually get somewhere!

[creative-writing-shit]

So I just heard that writing commissions are a thing? I've been looking into it all morning to learn about the details-

What if I started doing writing commissions?

I'm in no way an expert on the idea, so if anyone has any insight, please let me know- it sounds like a cool idea, but I want to take this seriously and gather all the information before I commit to that

[creative-writing-shit]

Guys, I'm writing for the first time in literal months, this is crazy and surreal

[creative-writing-shit]

About 8 paragraphs into the first chapter of my fanfic, and I'm really happy and proud of myself. Maybe I'll write more tonight, maybe I won't. But regardless, I made a lot of progress today

Heyyy, Writeblr! I have a little favor to ask!

I know this is a long-shot because I'm a small writing account on Tumblr with 15 followers, but I've really been looking to get some story editing experience.

A position like that sounds really awesome in my head, and I would love to get some experience to figure out if it's a full job I'd l'd be interested in pursuing.

I guess I'm either asking for:

Resources

Mentoring

Or someone to give me a chance here

If any further details are needed/wanted, feel free to ask me through comments, asks, or even a dm. Even reblogs would help get this post more noticed probably-

Like I said, I know it's a long-shot with my small following and on Tumblr no less, but I figured I would try and ahoot my shot, at least.

no one warns you that being a writer means falling in love with people who don’t exist.

[jev-urisk]

Jokes on me, I met my partner bc I developed a crush on their OC and became a writer to interact with said character 😂

The tall, bearded, handsome Klaus may not LITERALLY exist, but his writer does, and I fell for them even harder than I fell for the OC. I became a writer in an attempt to woo this person.

5yrs later and I'm writing a story about our OCs, and my partner and I are getting engaged this year!

TLDR; No one tells you that being a writer, sometimes, leads you to a very real person that you will fall in love with ♥️

[hypnos-erus]

I really want to write a story about plurality and systems, because plurality is rarely ever written in a positive light.

My main character is a black man (he's not fully complete, so I don't have details on what part of my world he came from or what the Earth equivalent is) but I am a white person who obviously has a different perspective on things due to privileges.

If it's not a bother, can BIPOC systems please share your experiences with me? How do you think they differ from white system experiences?

Thanks in advance!
