Literary Pancakes

God help me.

I dare you to write about a god visiting their last follower

Be creative with it. The god will die with this follower’s death, what will they say? Will the follower be pleased to meet their god? Or will they be angry they stayed hidden so long? 

Think outside the box!

And don’t forget to tag I dare you to write if you’re brave enough to publish it

TELL THIS STORY: BLIND

“Just stay quiet. I think it’s blind.”

Luca’s words come in a breath, so soft it barely carries across the mere centimetres between us. I grip his hand tighter and feel his fingers twitch in fear. I press my back harder into the side of the boat as if hoping to sink into the wood and disappear, dragging Luca and myself out of the vicinity of whatever looms over the shallow water.

the only domestic instinct my parents have managed to pass on to me is the tendency to hoard multiple plastic bags in another plastic bags despite the fact that I will probably never need this many plastic bags in my adult life

George R. R. Martin everyone.

[lacependragon]

My favourite thing about this gifset is that George R. R. Martin acknowledges both of these methods without insulting or dismissing the other. He is a fantastic writer and I know that some other fantastic writers swear by their methods and discount the others, which can be really disheartening as a young writer. Hearing him describe both of these methods without dismissing the other makes me very, very happy, as I am very much an architect and I always get so sad when every writer I look up to is like “NO PLANNING. PLANNING BAD. WRITERS DONT PLAN.”

So thank you, Mr. Martin.

I am by and large an architect but I am not opposed to my building gaining sentience and doing what it wants along the way, a la a gardener. So I feel this. I feel it so hard. Also:

"No one is purely an architect or a gardener in terms of writers, but many writers tend to one side or the other."

GEORGE R. R. MARTIN, YOU MAY NOT BE PERFECT, BUT THAT SENTENCE IS. THANK YOU.

There’s such an important difference between

I’m so upset by this character’s death! I loved them so much and it was such an emotionally charged moment! I need a week to compose myself.

I’m so upset by this character’s death! I loved them so much and their death was utterly pointless. It was done for unnecessary shock value and the plot will definitely suffer for it. I need a week to stop fuming.

a strong female character is one who is defined by her own characteristics, history and personality, and not solely by the actions or needs of other characters. she is a person in the story, not a prop. x
