my daily affirmation as an author

fiyerotigelar

Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.

lowpolysonic

feels so embarrassing to b hyperfixated on your own oc like the smallest thing that reminds you of them has you giggling and kicking your legs and smiling goofy in public but it’s like sorry everyone i was thinking about shmoopsie from my brain again. yeah the one like max 10 ppl know about

Knives out and Glass Onion work bc it brings the role of mystery solving detective out of brooding tortured genius and back to its rightful place as Friendly Weirdo In a Little Outfit

some quick "thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com" PSA's because we're just going in circles now lol

notawebsite.com is not related to gravity falls in any way! it's a 20+ year old site full of unrelated weirdness. do not pursue

the analog horror videos are fanmade! super cool but not official

this image is fake, the text is not in the source code of the site. do not pursue

people are saying the name of this episode on disney plus just changed, that's not true. it's been this way for years

the random capitalization in the PDF of great gatsby are not a code, they're just weird formatting! everything caps in that version was italicized in the original. do not pursue unless you really wanna get gatsby'd

check out this google doc if you want to get caught up!

behind closed doors - secret relationship prompts

prompt list by @novelbear

"you are not supposed to be here yet! my family isn't leaving until another hour from now!"

making a game over who can find the most discreet date spots

holding hands under tables when hanging out with friends/family

^ (or even if that's too risky) lightly placing their shoe over the others' and swinging it back and forth

"shit, we fell asleep!" "what do i do??" "just...i don't know, go out through the back. i'll go down and figure something out."

buying matching jewelry/clothes/etc. and just taking the "it's a symbol of our friendship" excuse to its extreme

one accidentally wearing the other's hoodie out in public and panicking when someone either notices or catches on

^ "hey, [name] has a hoodie just like that one..." "oh, really? i just bought this yesterday, i had absolutely no clue! that's so funny.."

"how much longer do we have to keep this up?" "just a few more weeks, i swear."

using random words in convos or certain actions as secret code for one another when surrounded by everyone else (and maybe even after they're public, it still sticks)

"i'm sorry did you just say that this is fun?" "yeah, kinda."

not being able to say anything when watching the other get flirted with

^ or maybe they do, and then have to explain to friends why it agitated them so much.

"if we get caught, i'm blaming you."

clinging onto their partner for ages after not being able to be with them all day

"you told her?!" "please, it's just one person. who is she going to tell?"

"when all of this is over, i'm going to take you on a real date. i promise."

Pro Tip: The Way You End a Sentence Matters

Here is a quick and dirty writing tip that will strengthen your writing.

In English, the word at the end of a sentence carries more weight or emphasis than the rest of the sentence. You can use that to your advantage in modifying tone.

Consider:

In the end, what you said didn't matter.

It didn't matter what you said in the end.

In the end, it didn't matter what you said.

Do you pick up the subtle differences in meaning between these three sentences?

The first one feels a little angry, doesn't it? And the third one feels a little softer? There's a gulf of meaning between "what you said didn't matter" (it's not important!) and "it didn't matter what you said" (the end result would've never changed).

Let's try it again:

When her mother died, she couldn't even cry.

She couldn't even cry when her mother died.

That first example seems to kind of side with her, right? Whereas the second example seems to hold a little bit of judgment or accusation? The first phrase kind of seems to suggest that she was so sad she couldn't cry, whereas the second kind of seems to suggest that she's not sad and that's the problem.

The effect is super subtle and very hard to put into words, but you'll feel it when you're reading something. Changing up the order of your sentences to shift the focus can have a huge effect on tone even when the exact same words are used.

In linguistics, this is referred to as "end focus," and it's a nightmare for ESL students because it's so subtle and hard to explain. But a lot goes into it, and it's a tool worth keeping in your pocket if you're a creative writer or someone otherwise trying to create a specific effect with your words :)
