I don't need AI to write. I can create fake scenarios in my head perfectly fine myself.

Zack and Reeve are definitely the type to be in their own little world when in friend groups. Everyone is used to it and doesn't ask them to tone it down. All of their friends are just happy to see those two be happy.

Writing Tips: Read your dialogue out loud!

It sounds simple, but it’s one of the easiest ways to spot fake dialogue.

On the page, conversations can feel natural. But, try speaking it out loud. Do you notice the cracks that start to appear? Awkward phrasing, stilted words, or lines that your characters would never say jump out immediately.

Reading dialogue aloud forces you to hear rhythm, tone, and pacing. Does it flow like real speech, or does it sound like an author explaining the plot?

Are contractions missing? Are your characters over-explaining? Are they missing their dialect? Their quirks?

Try this: act it out, even if it’s just you in your room. Play both sides. Laugh at the moments that sound ridiculous. Pause when it feels unnatural. Your ear is a powerful editor your eyes can’t replace.

I wanted to be more active here. Life is just getting in the way and I feel like iI have no time for my hobbies.

Since July is Disability Pride Month

(as opposed to every other month when we're all demure about disability rights /gentle sarcasm)

I wanted to highlight one of my favorite artists: Liberal Jane.

I've made a lot of ocs. I think the first oc i ever made was when I was in the 9th grade. I remember his name was Scott and he was in a band. I still have him around and changed him completely. He is still in a band. I just don't have him actively interact with my other ocs. I hold him close to my heart. And I think I will eventually add him to the group of chararacters i am working on.
