She tastes like nectar and salt. Nectar and salt and apples. Pollen and stars and hinges. She tastes like fairy tales. Swan maiden at midnight. Cream on the tip of a fox’s tongue. She tastes like hope.

Hyper-specific advice because I don’t see enough of this!
make your characters have inaccurate perceptions of themselves. your character might think they’re selfish but at every opportunity they act selfless. we all have blind spots so give these to your characters too! (this works best with first person pov but I’m sure you can do it in third.)
make a character’s personality trait helpful sometimes and harmful other times. impulsivity that makes them act quickly in high-stress situations which is great but it also sometimes results in the wrong choices.
make an excel/google sheets doc for your outline. for mine i have the chapter number, the date, the character pov (since mine is first person and switches between 5 characters), a summary column, and a continuity column. my story takes place in one setting but most stories have multiple locations, so you could include a column for that, the time of day, even the moon phase (one of my wips is from the perspective of animals so that is super important for that story).
you can also use excel/sheets for keeping track of your conlang. for my animal wip i have constructed a language called Vannro and I have 300 some-odd entries into my excel doc. i have columns for the Vannro word, the English translation, etymology and derived words (for some), the part of speech, and the subject. you can easily sort in alphabetical either in English or your conlang, and also sort by excluding all entries that aren’t under the subject “derogatory” or “places” etc. I always forget what my “be” verbs are so I sort through the part of speech column so I can find “is” “was” “are” etc.
use perspective to create tension for your reader. for example, in The Blackwater Anomaly in a chapter from Rainer’s pov, we experience his nightmare, however in a later chapter from Holly’s pov, when she asks him directly, he lies and says he hasn’t experienced any nightmares. Holly doesn’t know he is lying but the audience does. I also have characters who do not get chapters from their perspective, who may or may not be lying, and so both the audience and the characters experience that anxiety and uncertainty together.
consider using deep pov. you can read some articles about it but essentially you make the audience experience the story at the same time as the character and it makes your narration more active. this can also be done in third person. this has a lot to do with “show don’t tell” (although sometimes its better to just tell). remove some “telling” words like “thought/felt/saw” and just get directly into what’s happening. instead of “Ava saw a shadow fall across her shoulder” make it “a shadow fell across her shoulder”. your reader will know who you’re talking about. this even jumps into the unreliable narrator when you change “I felt like Isaiah was blowing me off” to “Isaiah blew me off.” the former has room for doubt and makes your character seem weaker. if she thinks she’s being blown off and she’s pissed about it, make her say that! you have to make the audience believe it’s true, it makes them more invested in the character’s experiences and emotions. and then if they later find out Isaiah wasn’t really blowing them off, there was an emergency or something, both the character and the audience can feel regretful together over misreading the situation and being pissed at Isaiah. if you leave room for doubt, then your reader will just feel unsurprised during the reveal and frustrated at your character for being stupid up until then.
you don’t have to “show” everything. sometimes there’s boring parts of a narrative that no one really cares about. you can either make a break in the text to show a time skip happened when your character was driving from point a to point b or you can give a paragraph or two about the drive, just telling what happened, even include an accident on the side of the road or an unexpected and frustrating road closure. its a very mundane and relatable aspect in our lives and we don’t need to be “shown” these, we can just be told. summarize the nonessential by telling or just skip it.
you ruined new york city for me plots
if you’re gonna lie — i’d rather hear you lie than to hear you say goodbye to me
muse a knows that muse b is cheating on them. late nights, missed dates, names murmured in their sleep. they know it has to end, but there’s something so intoxicating about muse b that muse a almost doesn’t care how much it hurts them to still be in this relationship. part of them can live with pretending that everything’s fine, as long as muse b comes back home to them eventually.
undrunk — at 5 in the morning, I would un-fuck you
muse a was hurt by muse b deeply, and yet still as they try and get over the heartbreak, they find themselves still falling into muse b’s bed over and over again. they know that muse b is moving on and that they’re being used, but still muse a can’t stop themselves.
all love — you ask how I’ve been, i say I’m doing fine but I’m lying
muse a & muse b were the couple which everyone thought would never fail. in love, loving life, and at the core of that always the closest friends. but they grew apart and broke up, muse a never really stopping loving muse b but wanting them to be happy. now muse b is back in muse a’s life, with a new partner who looks like muse a, and as much as muse a wants to let muse b move on they can’t help but feel that maybe muse b still loves them too.
about you — why does my mind go back to when you used to hold me?
muse b left months ago. muse a is getting better, they really are. they’re starting to go back to all the places they used to go with muse b. but then they start seeing reminders of muse b everywhere, even what they think are glimpses of them in all their old haunts. convinced that they’re imagining things, they try and go back to their normal life, only to find muse b waiting on their doorstep.
strangers — how two people once could be so in love, now we never talk
muse a and muse b were childhood sweethearts, each others first kisses, their first times. they were as in love as they thought two people could be. but then muse a wrecked it, leaving muse b heartbroken and trying to heal. muse a is determined that they should be able to go back to being friends, but muse b is pushing them away at every single turn.

villain-adjacent tropes i like
Tragic Villain – completely aware of their evil but takes little to no pleasure from it and could very well resent the evil they are committing
Noble Demon – a character who will proudly declare themselves evil, but still finds themselves doing good once in a while
Reluctant Monster — The Reluctant Monster usually has no idea that they’re a monster at all. They are often a member of a species that traditionally does nasty things to people, but that is not in their own personal nature
Broken Ace – A character who is handsome, popular, and mature, but it’s a front he’s viciously maintaining to mask the fact that his self-loathing has reached the level of dangerous unbalance
Affably Evil – A villain who is actually amiable and nice in spite of their intentions
Dark Is Not Evil – A character who looks sinister but is actually good.
Defeat as Backstory: A character suffered a defeat sometime before the main events of the story.
Sympathetic Murder Backstory: A character once killed someone, but for sympathetic reasons—still, they carry guilt over it.
Start of Darkness: A prequel about how the villain came to be who they are.
Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Tortured into evilness. A character who undergoes prolonged torture gives up on their ideals and morality and joins Team Evil.
Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: A character is adorable on the outside, but evil on the inside.
Face–Monster Turn: Being forced to turn evil by factors beyond one’s own free will.
Forced into Evil: A character does evil deeds because someone or something else is giving them no other choice.
Tragic Monster: A character is transformed into a dangerous monster and is miserable because of it.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: A villain or jerk was a lot nicer when they were younger, but something happened that caused them to grow up to be the bad person they are today.
Villainous Breakdown: The villain reacts to defeat by having a psychotic meltdown.
Never Be Hurt Again: fairly common stock motivation, in which characters who have been abused, betrayed, mistreated or otherwise persecuted in the past are acting to make sure that this sort of thing never happens to them again
Driven to Villainy: A broken shell of a human being, warped by events around them, and forced into villainy by forces outside their control.
Fallen Hero: used to be a hero
Jerk-to-Nice-Guy Plot: A plot where a character starts off as a Jerkass, but events change him into a Nice Guy.
Misery Builds Character: Having a character go through absolute hell as a way to strengthen them.
Once Done, Never Forgotten: A character has done something in the past that no one will forget — or let them forget.
Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: just because people forgive doesn’t necessarily mean they will move on. They may hear that they are trying to change their ways, but is still not good enough to make them completely happy again.
Reformed, but Rejected: desire of the character to leave his evil ways in the past is completely genuine — but the hero still refuses to be “fooled.” All he wants is a chance at a normal honest life. It’s getting people to give him that chance that presents a problem.
Reformed, but Not Tamed: Now genuinely on the side of good, but they retain characteristics or methods that they used when they were evil.

how to queue promos for rps using zapier
Hey friends. This never occurred to me, but probably the best tried and true method of having a nonstop promo blog would be by using Zapier. I use this program for work, but I honestly never thought of it for this. IFTTT has been giving me trouble and tbh, Zapier is a massive company and used daily for huge enterprises to handle automations much like this, so it likely will be better maintained. Zapier walks you through the flow, but I have a guide to help you just in case.
