Okay, real post time (but keep those boops booping) - You want to do NaNoWriMo tomorrow, but you don't want to go anywhere near the main organization and their website. Here's a list of alternatives you can try:
Rogue Writers - International group launched to provide an alternative for writers. Their website has challenges, free tools, and more.
myWriteClub - Word tracking tool.
Novlr - A writing app designed to help you meet your writing goals.
WriteTrack - Word tracking tool.
Shut Up and Write - Find in-person or online groups to write together with!
NoQuWriCo - A November writing challenge with tools, tips, and encouragement to make it through the month! (Thanks to someone letting me know - this is a Christian alternative. Try another if that does not appeal to you!)
Writing Month - Write. A Month. Do It.
Your local library - If you did NaNo events through your library, chances are they're still doing it this year. Make sure you check in with all the resources you've used in the past, as they're likely still around.
Whatever you decide to do tomorrow, good luck! And remember, if you want to still use the NaNo website but don't like their AI policies and the rest of it, just don't give them money! Laugh to yourself, evilly, as you update your word count. It's very validating.
Two things absolutely changed my life as a writer. You ready?
One- Your characters can be bad people, they can do bad things. There doesn't have to be a reason or a moral. You can make them bad if you want to. No other reason needed.
Two- it doesn't have to be good, it just needs to be written. On my last book i literally wrote the words "dumbest version" on the top of the page because I had seen some advice to do that. It changed everything. I stopped trying to make it perfect, I just tried to make it. Period. Full stop. You can edit bad writing. You can't edit a blank page.
And honestly? Defiance is the best writing I've ever done. All because I let my characters be bad and I gave myself the freedom to write it badly.
phased vs. fazed
phased is typically followed by in or out, used to mean when something is introduced or being stopped slowly: âThe company has slowly been phasing in the new software.â
fazed refers to the state of being bothered by something; usually used in its negative form: âShe remained unfazed.â
discrete vs. discreet
discrete is usually used in a mathematical context and means to separate: âIt is an ongoing process rather than a discrete event.â
discreet means something inconspicuous or subtle: âI want this handled discreetly.â
ascent vs. assent
ascent refers to climbing something: âShe begun the ascent at dawn.â
assent is a formal way to refer to agreeing: âThe consumer needs to assent to the privacy agreement.â
its vs itâs
its is the possessive form of the pronoun it: âThe dog laid on its back.â
itâs = it + is/was: âItâs not possible!â
This is the most brutal quote I've ever heard:
If you make someone feel like you'll go through anything for them, they'll make sure you go through everything.
And maybe that's because sometimes, when people know you'll never leave, they stop being careful about how much they hurt you.
You become your highest self when you invest in what no one can ever steal: your mindset, your character, your integrity, your honesty, your discipline, and your capacity to stay kind.
Sometimes, when you have a character, they can be shy. Who they are, what they wantâthey keep it locked away and hidden, leaving you in the dark. Nobody can blame them, really. As the author, your goal is to use what they want to hurt them, to take who they are and test their absolute limits. Giving you that information would just give you the tools to thoroughly torture them; itâs self-preservation.
Hereâs the thing, though: your book kind of needs that torture. It doesnât have to be physical, of course, but your characters need to be pushed. You need to know what makes them tic and play it out. So if theyâre keeping everything close to their chest, it becomes a bit of a problem to you. Whenever this happens with me, I always go to the same method: I sit down and interrogate them.
What works best for me is a notebook and a pen, but of course you can use your computer or whatever else works best for you when writing. Take your character of interest and start by listing off the base facts you know about them: their name, their age, their roughly-fleshed-out backstory, anything. And then, once you hit a roadblock, start asking them questions. Who are you? Why do you want what you want? If you see a possibility, explore it. Write it down, follow that path, and if you hit another block, go back to the start. Or maybe there was an off-trail you didnât see the first time on the way. Whatever it is, keep going. Set a limit for yourselfâwrite for five minutes, ten minutes, fill up two notebook pages, whatever. Write down your train of thought, whatever comes to mind in relation to this character, even if it seems like a stretch. Youâll unlock something about your character, something you can use.
Iâm not saying this is an end-all, be-all way of understanding your characters, but it works for me. Itâs not always a perfect method, and sometimes I have to sit down and write it out more than once, but itâs been so incredibly helpful in determining how my characters work individually and together. Knowing their core motivations helps me strengthen my drafts as I continue to work on them. If youâre stuck and donât know what else to do, Iâd say give it a shot. You may find something worth keeping :) Happy writing!
Karina sat down on one of the chairs by the kitchen table. She was a little tired but happy that she had got the whole house spotless, it had taken her most of the afternoon but she had now nearly finished. Only the glass table to goo now and she could go and have a nice long soak in the bath.
Sighting, she thought that Josh, her boyfriend of 3 years, would be back soon, and not soon enough for her, She had woke up that morning so horny she would have nailed the first cock that came near her, she thought about using her vibrator in the bottom drawer of her dressing table but she preferred the feel of a long, hard cock inside her, rather than plastic. Also there was no fun in a vibrator either, she would just use it. Not like when Josh and her had sex. Anywhere at anytime, she loved the thrill of being caught, she always reached a massive orgasm when there was a risk.
Looking at the clock she thought that she had lasted the entire day, she can wait another 2 hours for Josh to come home, so she made herself stand up and polish the table until it sparkled.
"That should get rid of some of my tension." She thought smiling to herself as she headed off to take that soak she had wanted.
Over half an hour later, Karina was looking through her clothes trying to decide what to wear.
"Hmmm" She said to herself, "How about you!" She said, looking at a black summer dress. Moving to the mirror and holding it against herself she looked for a moment before throwing it onto the bed, it was too nice a day for black.
She thought about short cut jeans and a shirt but discarded that idea, it took too long to get the shorts off. Suddenly a thought hit her and she scrambled through her clothes, found what she was looking for, grabbed them and put them on immediately.
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Karina smiled to herself. At 22 she was a knockout. Long blonde hair falling straight passed her shoulders, large blue eyes, full pink lips just made for sucking cock, a thin waist which gave her a light hourglass figure, Large Round Firm but soft tits, 36D, and although she was only 5' 6" her legs still seemed to reach on forever. She was every guys fantasy and more. Men always whistled at her when she walked anywhere and she loved it. Old men even pinched her ass when she had to walk by. Even teenagers tried to cop a feel of her amazing tits when she had to squeeze passed them. She remembered a time when two boys had offered to do the gardening for her, but couldn't keep their eyes from her body as she lay on the lounger chair sunbathing, well, she thought they deserved some kind of payment. But standing there in those clothes she could have made a gay guy straight or a straight guy cum in his pants just by looking at her.
She was wearing a short mini skirt, yellow, like the ones that she used to wear at school, yellow and white strappy shoes and a white top with two thin straps holding it over her shoulders which outlined her figure and her tits and left her belly button showing.
"Damn girl, you are one hot piece of ass!" She said to herself still smiling, then headed off downstairs for a cool drink.
Josh's car pulled into the driveway and stopped. He turned the engine off and could hardly contain himself, it was the big game tonight, Raiders Vs Dolphins in the superbowl of the century. He had been waiting for this game and knew the Raiders would just kick Dolphins ass all around the field. He had even drove too fast just to get here in time, the game started in half an hour.
"You really are looking forward to this game aren't you?" Ben said looking at him with that cheeky grin of his. At 6' 2", Ben was taller than Josh by 2" but not quite as built. They had been friends in school and had grown up together. Ben loved football too, but he loved being cheeky more.
"Damn right I am man, this is the biggest game of the season." Josh said as he got out of the car.
Heading through the front door the pair bantered with each other about old times, even thought they saw each other often they still loved doing it, and walked through to the lounge.
As soon as they walked through the door to the lounge, Karina came bounding out of the kitchen and grabbed Josh and gave him a huge hug and a long passionate kiss, probing his mouth with her tongue. After a couple of minutes, Karina seemed to realise they were not alone and broke the kiss and moved back a little.
"Oh, hiya Ben" She said smiling with a hint of red in her cheeks.
"Hey Karina" Ben replied with that cheeky grin on his face again.
"Hey babe. Ben's come over to watch the game with me tonight, you remember me sayin?" Josh asked.
"Oh yeah, of course I do." She said blushing a little more, "Sit down, I'll go get you some chips and dip. I'll be making dinner later on so don't eat too many." She laughed
"I could eat 'em all and all the dinner." Ben said after a little laugh. "I have a big appetite."
Karina gave him a little smile then walked off into the kitchen. She looked so hot in that short skirt and short top that Josh thought about cancelling watching the game and just taking her to bed. "She'll be hot for some action tonight, I can watch the game and get some later." He thought. He sat on one of the sofas as Ben sat in a chair to his left.
The lounge was large, with a sofa directly facing the t.v., one to it's right and a chair to the left, with the hallway behind the chair and the kitchen just behind the other sofa not too far away, glass doors with thin white net curtains bunched to the sides stood between the lounge and the kitchen. It wasn't an overly large house, but still big enough. The kitchen was large enough so that the doors let into a small space between the counters to the left and the table to the right, however the glass table did begin to take up a little of that space.
Karina walked to the fridge and taking out some chips and some beers she thought to herself, "Why tonight? I should have remembered that. What am I going to do? I'm so horny!"
Taking a minute to calm herself she grabbed the snacks and wen back into the lounge.
After Karina had gone into the kitchen and Ben had sat down on the chair, he thought to himself how hot Karina was. "Man I'd fuck that bitch so hard she wouldn't know what had hit her." He thought to himself. Just then Karina came back through from the kitchen with some chips and beers and walked over in front o the other sofa and bent down to put the chips on the small table in the middle of the floor.
As she bent down her top moved away from her chest and gave him a small view of her ample cleavage, If she would have bent over a little more he would have been able to stare straight down her top at those gorgeous melons of hers, but the sight of her cleavage, even for that brief amount of time, gave him a boner.
He took a quick look at Josh, no he wasn't looking, and turned back to continue ogling Karina, but when he looked back, she was sitting with her legs crossed, looking at the t.v. Ben wished he could make a bet with Josh on the game for Karina, like in the stories, then he could screw her like she needed to be screwed. But fantasy stories just don't come true, so he contented himself with looking at those gorgeously smooth legs.
Karina clenched her legs together tightly, if she didn't she knew she would start fingering herself right then and there. The game was about to begin, she looked at Josh, "How handsome he is." She thought, then made herself stop because that was only making her worse. Josh was already in to the game and didn't look at her.
Karina turned to look at Ben, his gaze shifted suddenly and looked at her face. "Had he been staring at my legs?" She wondered. Ben turned to look at the t.v. "No he couldn't have. Just your imagination girl, you are too horny." Only, when she looked at the t.v. she noticed a little while later his eyes went back to her. Every time she moved a little his eyes would instantly go back to the game, but when she was still, they went back to studying her.
"He is looking at my legs." She thought after the fifth time. She felt a little jolt of excitement flow through her stomach and had a little thought. "Well, if he wants to stare at my legs, I better give him a better look." So she shifted the way she was sitting so she was sitting with her legs tucked under her, but she had turned sideways on to the t.v. so that now, all of her right creamy thigh was facing Ben.
From the corner of her eye, she noticed his eyes open a little wider, staring at her more openly. So she decided to have a little more fun. She ran her right hand slowly up and down her right thigh, a slow caressing touch, which could have been innocently taken for an act of boredom. She also started biting the tip of her index finger on the other hand, of course, another sign of boredom. Of course.
Ben made a little fidget on the chair as if his jeans were not comfortable and even licked his lips a couple of times. After a few minutes of her caressing her thigh Karina wanted to tease Ben a little more, but she couldn't think o anything discreet enough, until she looked at the packet of unopen chips on the table. Smiling inside she stood up and walked into the kitchen.
Ben stared at Karina's ass as she swayed into the kitchen and slowly let out a shuddering breath as quietly as possible. If he didn't know better he would have said Karina had been teasing him, rubbing her hand up and down her silky thigh like she was. Then all of a sudden she just stopped after looking at the chips and walked out. He was as horny as fuck now, he even thought about going to the bathroom to jack off when Karina came back through with a white bowl in her hands.
When she got to the table, she leaned forward and placed the bowl on the table, then leaning even further forward began opening the bag of chips and gently tipping them into the bowl, making sure they looked just right. Ben's eyes, however, were not on the bowl, they went straight down Karina's top and bounced between Karina's large tits. She had leaned so far forward that he could almost see the front of her bra. As she gently shook the chips from the bag, those luscious mounds of hers jiggled from side to side. It seemed she was bent over for hours, but it must have been minutes, then, staying bent as she was, she lifted her head.
"Want any?" She asked sweetly
"Err, yes.. please." Ben said stammering
She smiled and offered him the bowl. Then after he had taken some, she offered some to Josh, who didn't move from looking at the t.v. Karina placed the bowl on Josh's lap and then straightened and sat down again, with her legs tucked under her.
20 minutes into the game, Karina all of a sudden said, "Oh, where is that magazine?" and then knelt on the sofa and bent over the back to look for her magazine. The view was incredible. With Karina bent doggie style over the sofa, Ben had a great view of her ass, although he couldn't see up her skirt. Her legs just cried out to be touched and his hard on cried out to just get up and bang her right then and there.
"She can't be teasing me." He thought, "It's just my imagination." But she looked like she was.
He tore his eyes away from her before his dick burst out of his jeans.
10 minutes later he looked back at her, legs crossed again, magazine lying on her lap, she was sucking on an Ice Pop. When she saw him look at her she looked up at him and continued sucking on it slowly, then took her mouth off it to lick the top lightly with her tongue. "When had she gotten that?" he thought. Seductivly she looked at him whilst slowly sucking the Ice Pop until she had finished. Then she threw the stick on the table and asked him if he wanted one.
"NoâŚthanks." He said smiling. "Damn she must be teasing me." He thought "I can't take much more of this."
Karina felt like 10,000 volts of electric were being charged through her. She was flirting and teasing quite openly with that Ice Pop, but the thrill was worth it. Josh still hadn't taken his eyes off the game, she didn't think he would, but it was still fun. But even this teasing wasn't as exciting as it could be. She was hotter then ever now and she needed to get laid, and soon.
She loved risk, the more risky a situation the better for her and the more pleasure it was. Now in the total clutches of lust, with her pussy crying out to be fucked she came up with an idea.
Standing up slowly, making sure that she bent forward a little, Karina arched her back and stretched. Pushing her tits out and making them strain against her thin white top.
"Right, I'm going to make the dinner." She said when she had stopped stretching.
"Need any help?" Ben asked, his voice trembling with anxiousness.
"Sure." She said smiling at him. Damn she was horny.
As Karina walked towards the kitchen, Ben following her, she stopped and said,
"Honey, you might want to turn the volume up a little. I don't want the noise I will make, making dinner, to drown out your game."
Then she walked through the doors with Ben following her.
As they entered the kitchen Karina heard the t.v. volume rise, not much, but higher than it was. Josh knew some o the machines in the kitchen were noisy, but Karina wasn't planning on them making any noise at all. Karina would, and although Ben wasn't as good looking as Josh, he wasn't bad either, he had a cock and that's what she needed.
Walking over to the nearest counter, visible through the doors, Karina turned around and leaned against it, placing her hands to either side. Her heart was pounding almost of of her chest.
"So what do you need help with?" Ben asked, that nervous tone still shook his voice, but his hard on was plainly visible straining to get out of his jeans.
"He must be big." Karina thought to herself as she looked at the bulge. She found it difficult to control herself and not just rip his clothes off then and there.
"I was thinking, for a football game, maybe some hot dogs. But I make them a special way. Josh never complains about my hot dogs. You see, I have to oil them, that way they are lubricated and slip into the bun easier, but I always taste them first, before I use them, you can never be too careful see." As she spoke, Ben licked his lips even more, looking ready to jump on her, the nerves now replaced with pure lust and anticipation. She smiled at him.
"Come here, I'll show you how to make them." She cooed.
Ben walked towards her but as he did he pulled the glass doors closed.
"Uh-uh! They have to be stay open." She said to him with a pouty look on her face.
"ButâŚ.I thoughtâŚ.youâŚ.didn't want to have theâŚ.noiseâŚ.disturb Josh? Ben asked.
Karina almost laughed at his naivety. "I don't, but I want the risk. Now, open them, or I won't show you." She said smiling.
The doors were open again the second she finished her sentence, and with a crooked finger, ben walked up to her.
Grabbing her by the waist he pulled her to him and she locked her lips against his. Her tongue instantly probing into his mouth and circling his tongue. She locked her arms around his neck as she kissed him deeply, grinding her hips so her pussy rubbed against the bulge in his jeans.
"Mmmmmmmm" She moaned into his mouth.
She ground herself harder against him as his hand came off her ass, where he had pulled her closer to him after the kiss began, and grabbed hold of her tits, roughly squeezing and pushing them together as if he was afraid she might tell him to stop.
She ground herself more and continued moaning in his mouth as he roughly played with her large tits.
Then placing her hands against his chest she pushed him away a little and broke the kiss.
"WhaâŚ." He started to say, but her smile quieted him.
Karina's hands slowly ran down his chest and down onto his belt buckle. She quickly but calmly opened the belt and started to work on the buttons. When they were open she pushed her hand under his boxers and grabbed his cock.
Karina felt at the large cock in her hands and trembled, she wanted it in her now, but it was far more erotic to take her time. Slowly she started to massage the thick meat in her hands while looking Ben in the eyes.
"Mmmmm, you feel good." She cooed, massaging faster. The thing never seemed to stop growing. "I think I should try some, is it good?"
"The best you'll ever have." Said Ben, looking more confident than he had.
Smiling up at him she slowly sank to her knees in front of him.
If her boyfriend looked all he would see was his hot 22 year old girlfriend on her knees ready to suck off his friend in his kitchen.
Karina had to jerk back when she pulled Ben's jeans and boxers down, as his huge cock almost hit her in the face.
Staring in disbelief at what must have been 9 or 10 inches of hard cock meat all Karina could do was gasp with wide eyes.
"You're huge!" She said incredulously.
Ben smiled down at her, "You like?"
Karina nodded, never taking her eyes from the cock in front of her, Slowly she wrapped one hand around the thick shaft. It was so hard, her fingers just about met around it's width. Placing her second hand on the meat of her boyfriends mate, she looked up into Ben's eyes.
"I think I might need to tell Josh to turn the volume up louder." She said.
And with both hands on the thick cock shaft and her eyes on his, her boyfriend's eyes on the TV not 15 feet away, she opened her mouth and lowered her head onto his dick.
The thick cock stretched her mouth wide, she had never had a dick this wide or this long before in her mouth, or her pussy, but she knew she was a good cocksucker, and she was enjoying it.
Halfway down the shaft she paused. Looking down at Ben's pubic hair, she thought, "5 more inches to go, damn he's big." So she moved her head back up the big cock shaft slowly, licking with her tongue the entire length.
Flicking her blonder hair over her shoulder, intent only on the cock before her, she began kissing the head, then gently licked down the underside and back up before opening her mouth and lowering her head slowly down the shaft, impaling her mouth on it.
Karina began to slowly bob her head up and down Ben's thick shaft, slowly working another inch further into her mouth each time, until she had the whole 10 inches in her mouth and down her throat.
Using her tongue to slash at the cock in her mouth, Karina gripped Ben's dick tightly with her lips and started to build up speed. Eyes closed, Karina bobbed her head faster on her Boyfriends friend's dick.
"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmph" She moaned around the shaft while holding his hips to guide the cock in her mouth. Not having her hands on his dick allowed her to swallow the entire cock length into her mouth and down her throat, stopping only when her nose met the base of his love pole.
The slurping noises of the lewd cocksucking session filled the kitchen, but Josh couldn't hear any of them as the tv drowned them out.
SLURP SLURP SLURP SLURP
Karina's head was bobbing up and down ferociously on Ben's cock, willing him to cum down her throat. Her Moans became louder and then she felt Ben's hands on her head, gripping her hair, pulling her face down onto his love meat. She looked up into his eyes and then for the first time really took notice of his moans.
Ben held the beauties head as she sucked him harder and harder, faster and faster, bobbing her head up and down his raging hard dick. She was so good at this, he knew he couldn't hold back long.
"Yeah that's it baby, suck it." He said to her "Suck it while your boyfriend watches tv in the next room."
Karina moaned.
"Damn you're good." He gasped, pulling her head onto him more. He still couldn't believe she could swallow his entire dick. No woman had been able to do that before.
"You like this cock in your mouth don't you?" He teased her
She moaned in response, never taking her eyes off his. She sucked harder, bobbing that gorgeous blonde haired face up and down his cock meat, stuffing her mouth and throat full of his hard dick. He could feel the velvet touch of her throat as his dick returned to her throat. Seeing those lips slide on his dick made him want to cum straight away. He had fantasised about Karina on her knees sucking him off, but never in a situation like this.
Her eyes stayed fixed on his as her head continued it's long journey up and down his dick. It felt so erotic, having his best mates girlfriend on her knees in front of him, impaled on his dick, her mouth working and sucking his cock for all she was worth, swallowing all of his meat while her boyfriend was in the next room. What made it more hot was that they were in the middle of the door way, Karina holding his hips and bobbing her head up and down his shaft faster and faster, never loosing the dick out of her mouth for a second. But the hottest thing of all, was her eyes. Staring at his, full of lust over that cock-filled mouth, watching him as she bobbed her head up and down. The situation turned him on so much.
"Suck my dick Karina, Swallow it down that pretty throat of yours" He growled at her, still holding her head, her eyes still on his. "We're in the middle of your kitchen and the doors are open, Karina. And you're down on your knees sucking me off."
She moaned loudly and sucked harder
"Oh yeah baby! You're sucking the cock of your boyfriends best friend. Oh yeah! And you're loving it"
She opened her mouth a little this time and closed her eyes, moaning loudly around his cock, before returning her lips and staring down the length of his pole.
Looking into his eyes while she sucked and moaned, Karina moved faster. Then she took her mouth from his cock and grabbed it with a hand and started beating it.
"Your cock tastes so good." She said smiling at him teasingly. "If you're a good boy I might suck it again for you."
"You'll beg me to let you suck it when I'm done with you slut." He said, and he knew it would be true aswell judging by how she was behaving.
"Ooooo" She moaned, then returned her head back to onto his dick.
"Damn I wish I could video this." He moaned
Popping her mouth off his dick again, Karina smiled at him and said, "Maybe next time we can."
Smiling at her, he knew she would be back for more.
Still beating at his dick she smiled at him again and calmly and innocently said with her teasing smile on that beautiful face,
"Do you want to cum all over me or in my mouth?"
The question itself almost made him cum. Just thinking about either.
She seemed to sense he would cum soon and released her grip on his dick and placed her hands on his hips again. She flicked her hair out of her face again and looking up at him, slowly opened her mouth and covered the head of his cock. With her eyes fixed on his, she slid her beautiful mouth, those full pink lips back down his cock, and resumed sucking him off again.
"Damn you are a hot cocksucker" He moaned between breaths. "Your boyfriend is a lucky guy."
"Mmmmmm" She moaned at the mention of her boyfriend.
"You'll have to kiss him after this." He said as he threw his head back and pulled her down hard on his dick. Her hands were now tightly holding his ass, as he came in buckets down that lovely blonde haired throat, filling her stomach. Karina's eyes looked at him the entire time, teasing him.
Josh sat watching the football game, completely engrossed. Not realising that at that moment, less than 15 feet away, his beautiful girlfriend was on her knees with his friends 10 inch dick shoved down her throat, gulping down all of his cum after the world's greatest blowjob.
He cheered as the Raiders scored a touchdown and Karina closed her eyes while swallowing.
When Ben started cumming down her throat, Karina swallowed all that she could, some escaped out of her mouth because of how much there was, though she tried her hardest not to let any get away. What a reward for her work. She then let the cock be pulled from her mouth. She tasted the hot sticky cum in her mouth and looked up at Ben, smiled and swallowed with a loud gulp.
Karina then turned to look through the doors. She saw that Josh still hadn't moved. Occasionally she had looked in his direction while sucking Ben's cock. Seeing her boyfriend while giving his friend a blowjob had turned her on like crazy.
Licking her lips she turned to Ben ready to say ' You might need a rest before the main course.' But was stunned when she was confronted with a raging hard cock.
"You're still hard!!" She exclaimed
"I always am after a good cocksucking, but I've never been this hard before, it must be you." He replied with a large smile
Lifting her up so that she was standing while she still stared at that still hard cock, Ben grabbed her by her ass and pushed her against the counter.
She looked into his eyes and smiled as he lifted her to sit on the counter surface.
"And just what do you think you're going to do now?" She asked teasingly, again, staring straight into his eyes.
He replied as he reached under her skirt, pulled her panties down and threw them on the floor.
"I'm going to fuck you, right on this counter, right where your boyfriend could see if he just turned his head, and I am gonna make you moan so loud that you'll scream and beg me to never stop fucking you!"
She smiled teasingly at him.
"I'll moan if I choose, but scream and beg you to fuck me forever? I don't even do that for Josh!" She said
He pulled her to the edge of the counter and lined his dick up with the entrance to her pussy.
"You're not only gonna beg me, but you'll let me fuck you whenever, wherever and however I want to!"
And with those words, he thrust as hard as he could into her.
Karina had to bite her bottom lip as the huge rod of her boyfriends friend entered her fast and roughly. A loud moan still escaped her lips though. She would have screamed literally as loud as she could because of the pain and the pleasure of having her pussy stretched and filled so much so quickly, but then Josh certainly would have heard and this would just have been a fuck rather than the illicit fuck it was.
With the spear buried to the hilt in her, she settled down. The initial thrust had lifted her off the counter, but now she was sitting on it again, completely full.
"OH!" She moaned. "I've never been so full." She said a touch breathless
Ben smiled a large smile. He was just holding his cock within her, not moving at all. Not that she minded, she was full of cock at last and she was relishing in the pleasure.
"You like the feel of my dick in your pussy Karina." He said as his hands found her ass cheeks.
Her pussy gripped his dick like a vice.
"Hmmmm, I've had better." She teased.
Ben's eyebrow's rose, but then he pulled her to him and started to fuck in and out of her, hard and fast, very fast in fact.
"Oooooooooooh" Karina moaned as Ben's cock pistoned in and out of her. She threw her head back and locked her legs around his waist, tightly pulling him deeper into her.
"Oh yes, Ooooh, uh uh uh uh uh uh, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" Karina moaned, gripping the edge of the counter so her knuckles went white. The pleasure she felt from the illicit fuck she was getting tore through her and she threw her head back as far as she could, moaning loudly. "OOOOOOOOOOOH!"
"So gooood" she thought. Her mouth was hanging open and her moans and groans filled the room.
"Oh yeah, yeess, yes, yess, sooooooo goooooooood" She groaned.
Her head was as far back as she could bend it, her back arched so he could get easier access to her soaking pussy. Her hands holding a death lock on the counter as Ben fucked her thoroughly and furiously. Her large tits bounced and jolted around her chest straining against the thin white material and crying out to break free from her constraining bra.
It felt so good. She had never felt anything like this in her life. Her pussy was filled and stretched beyond belief, she was being fucked so hard she could hardly sit on the counter and above all else, this was her boyfriends friend who was fucking her while her boyfriend sat not 15 feet away in the next room, with the joining glass doors open. The volume of the tv was the only reason he couldn't hear the moaning and groaning from the other room and made him completely unaware of the brutal fucking his girlfriend was getting. All it would take would be for him to turn his head, or turn down the volume a little, to notice the erotic action 15 feet away from him.
But Karina didn't care anymore, she was being more than satisfied, reaching sexual heights that she never imagined existed as her boyfriends friend plowed relentlessly in and out of her pussy.
"Oh you're so good" Ben moaned "Better than I ever thought u would be! You're so tight and hot"
Their moans filled the kitchen and battled against the sounds of the game.
"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" Karina groaned as she ground her pussy on his cock. She knew now that she never wanted him to stop fucking her.
Ben drove his dick home over and over into the writhing beauty impaled on his thick shaft, being lifted off the counter with every thrust into her tight pussy.
"Fuck you're good" He said through gritted teeth, sweat slicked his body, but his mind was on Karina as her head hug backwards, arching her back, fucking back at him and meeting every hard thrust of his with a hard thrust of her own, impaling herself even more on his dick as hard as she could.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, oh!" She moaned opened mouthed
He was hypnotised by the bouncing and juggling of her large round tits. He had always wanted to see them, always wanted to touch them, just as he had always wanted to fuck Karina. Well, now he was fucking her.
He slowed his pace and stopped.
"No, no NO!" Karina complained in an angry voice
He grabbed the bottom of her white top and started pulling it up. Once she realised what he wanted, she stopped trying to fuck herself on his dick and grabbed her top, pulled it over her head and threw it on the floor. Then she reached behind and unclasped her bra, slid the straps from her shoulders and threw that on the floor too.
"You can look at these once you start fucking me again!" She said while she cupped her tits
Ben smiled, slowly pulling out and slammed hard back into her.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!" Karina groaned as the cock entered her with force again, but still she held tightly onto her tits.
He hammered into her with all of the force he could and Karina's 36D tits bounced around with her hands gripping them tightly, pushing them together with the force of his thrusts. She started to squeeze her tits and kneed them like dough as Ben fucked in to her, then she started playing with her nipples and moaning loudly again.
"Ooooohh, ummmmmmmmm, yeah" She moaned as he pinched her erect nipples. Then she roughly grabbed her tit and squezzed them as hard as she could while Ben relentlessly filled her with his long hard dick.
The eternity ring on Karina'd left hand glinted in the light as Karina squeezed her tits, groaning in the ecstasy he was giving her. He remembered when her boyfriend had given her that ring, Karina had said he was the only guy for her and the only guy she would ever be with. Now it witnessed the illicit fuck and heard all of Karinas moaning and groaning that he was so good. Ben smiled and deliberately watched the ring as his dick pumped long and hard strokes into Karina's welcoming pussy. Watching it shine in the light as Karina gripped her tits and he fucked her senseless.
Her tight hole accepted him welcomingly. Her smooth legs locked around his waist, pulled his dick deeper and deeper into her womb, her long blonde hair hung in the air as her head was back and swung violently with each thrust of his long hard dick.
"Oh baby you're pussy is so tight" He groaned
He caught a glimpse of her eyes, glazed over from the sheer pleasure her pussy was feeding to her. She would do anything for him right then, even fucked him right in front of Josh's face, had he asked. But he was enjoying the illicit fuck more. He was fucking his friends hot girlfriend and she was loving it.
Karina released her grip on her firm tits and once again grasped the counter.
Watching the gorgeous blonde's firm mounds roll around her chest as he thrust, he heard her moan,
"Oh yeah, Ben, uh uh, yeah"
Now he fucked her for all he was worth. Her tits went wild, rolling, bouncing and smacking against each other with a loud crack. Lifting off her chest and bouncing around as Karina was bouncing around on him.
Ben looked at the hot blonde beauty fuck him and moan and beg him to fuck her, more and more. Her tits were squashed together now as her arms were pressing them together from the side.
"OOOOOHH, FUCK ME, FUCK ME" She groaned loudly
Ben obliged. Karina raised herself up, looking straight into his eyes and locked her arms around his neck.
"UH UH UH UH" She moaned, her eyes closing from the pleasure, then she forced them open to look at him. She kept on doing this, except when she spoke to him.
"Oh yeah baby, who's the best?" He asked her, still fucking wildly
"OOOOHHH, YOOOOUU ARREEE" She groaned
"Say it" He said
"OOOOOOOH, UUUMMMMM, BEN ISSS THEE BEESSSTT! UMMMMM OOOOOHHHHHH, YEAH, THHHE BESSST FUUUCK! OOOHHH YEEAHH!" She groaned as loudly as she could.
"How much better?" He demanded, She was close now! He wore a big smile now because he loved this, not only did he get to fuck this beauty with her boyfriend in the other room, but he got her to tell him he was better than her boyfriend!
"SSOOOO MUUUCHHH BEEEEETTER!!! YOUUUUUUR DIIICK ISSSS SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOO BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGG!!!! OHHHHHHHHHHH! SOOOOOOO BIIIG! SOOOOOOOOOOO FUULLLL! She moaned loudly, while looking in his eyes. "SOOOO MUUCCCHH BIGGGGGER THAAN JJOSSHHH!!!"
His thrusts went deep within her, her ripe melons were now squashing against his bare chest, although he didn't remember taking his shirt off. Her soft breasts pressed against him but they still had a firmness to them. The feel of her tits and the look of her as he fucked her, the feel of her hard nipples pressed against his chest as she pulled herself close to him. Karina's breasts squashing against him and jiggling in the space provided as she now had one hand round his neck and the other on the counter for leverage, this girl sure knew how to fuck!
"YOOOUUU FUUCKKK MEEE THEEE BESSTT!" She groaned
"I LOOOVE YOUUURR DIICK! PLEEASSE FUUUCKKK MEEE FOREVVERRR! PLEEASSSE DOON'TT STOOPPP! DON'TT EVEEE STOPPPP!" She screamed
She was his now
Deeper and harder he fucked inside her until her body tensed and she started screaming in pure ecstasy and lust.
Karina shuddered on top of the dick buried in her pussy, feeling the biggest climax she had ever had in her life wash over her. If Josh had come in at that moment, she wouldn't have been able to have moved a muscle.
Her head was in the clouds and her body shivered all over from the rough fucking she just had at the hands, or the large dick, of her boyfriends best friend.
"Now that was an amazing fuck!" She thought
All of a sudden, Ben lifted her up and carried her over towards the glass table and chairs. He sat down on one of the chairs, with her straddling him. It was then that Karina realised he was still hard! "Surely he can't be hard after cumming twice!" She thought.
He seemed to read the question on her face and answered.
"I haven't cum in you yet, but I will before I go. I just wanted to fuck you a different way, ever since I saw you bend for that magazine in there."
"Doggie style?" She asked, "He wants more?!" She thought
"Yeah, over this fine glass table of yours!" He said as he stood her up.
She felt a huge loss as his dick came out of her well-fucked pussy, a pussy that had belonged only to her boyfriend up until a short while ago.
He turned her around and bent her over, resting on her elbows.
"This time I'm gonna fuck you!" He said as he entered her from behind
Karina knew that doggie style always made her feel more full of dick than any other position, but she gasped at the feel now. If she thought she had been full before, she was twice as full now.
She backed her ass up on his dick, but Ben held her still, she could see him smile at her in the mirror opposite them.
"Well, fuck me then!" She demanded
"No, no, Karina! I tell you and you beg for it." He said, slowly moving in and out of her, but not letting her have all of his cock. He held her firmly by the hips so she couldn't squirm back to fill herself with that wonderful earth shattering orgasm pole.
"Oooo" She cooed, "Oh" moaning didn't help her either. "Ahhhh, fuck me, please, I can't take this anymore, please, I want your dick, I want you to fuck me, I want your dick to please my pussy! I want it more than anything in the worâŚ." She stopped speaking as Ben's thick cock slammed into her from behind.
The feeling was even more amazing than before. His long thick cock, sliding in and out of her, when it should have been her boyfriend, made her groan and let her head fall to the table top.
Her nipples were grazing across the top of the table, hard and protruding, as Ben continued his long strokes pleasing her pussy.
"Ooooooooooooohh Yeeeaahhhh" Karina moaned into the glass. Raising onto her hands she slammed her pussy back onto Ben's 10 inch rod and squealed in delight.
Ben reached around and grabbed both of Karina's firm tits and squeezed as she bucked back against his hard strokes. Surely Josh should have heard some of the noise by now, or wondered where they had gotten to! He must have heard Karina's orgasm scream!
Continuing his thrusts into her, Karina turned her head to look in his eyes.
"Fuck me big boy! Fuck me good and hard! Make me cum like my boyfriend, your best friend, can't do!"
Then she moaned loudly and fell onto her elbows as he thrust even harder into her.
She was so wet. He grabbed her hips and looked in the mirror. Her face was contorted in a look of ecstasy, her eyes trying to roll into her head. Her larger tits were swaying back and forth as she gripped the edge of the round glass table.
"OOOOH, MORE, MORE!" She begged.
So he complied. Slamming into her as hard as he could, Ben loved watching the image in the reflection, but he wanted to make her scream.
"Do you love my dick?" He growled
"OOHH, YEESSS! UH! I UH LOOVE UH YOUUR BIIG MMMMMM DIICK! OH! UMMM, UH UH UH UH! SOOOOOO HAARD!" She panted. Her voice sounded like someone was drumming on her throat, and the table squeaked under the constant pressure of the illicit fuck.
Finally the pleasure got too much for Karina and she collapsed on the table, still thrusting that tight ass back at Ben's every thrust.
She was one horny bitch that was for sure. Ben took in the whole scene and knew he would cum soon.
Karina, his best friend's hot girlfriend, was bent over their glass kitchen table, topless, wearing a short skirt, yellow and white strappy shoes, holding onto the edge of the table. Her 36D large firm tits, which caught the attention of every guy, were pressed hard into the glass, squashed down as Karina lay there. Face contorted in ecstasy, moaning, groaning, screaming and begging him to fuck her as her ass pushed back so that her pussy could help him, as his 10 inch dick pumped furiously in and out of her. Her bra and white top were lying all on the kitchen floor. She was moaning his name, the glass doors joining the kitchen to the lounge stood open and her boyfriend, his best friend, was sitting in there watching the game with the volume up because he thought Karina was cooking! But not only that, he and Karina had just fucked each other on the kitchen counter in full view of the lounge and he had brought her to a massive orgasm, one like she had never had before, after she had knelt down, again in full view of her boyfriend if he had looked, and had sucked him off and swallowed all of his seed that he shot straight down her throat. She had given him by far, the best blowjob ever.
She was screaming now! Josh must be able to hear!
"OOOHHHH YES! YES! YEAH! FUCK ME! BEN FUCKK MEE! HAARRRDDERR! OH YEAH! OH YES! UMMMM! UH UH UH UH UH UH UH UH UH! FUUCCK MEE WHIILEE JOSHH ISS OUUTTT THEERRREE!!" She screamed.
He leaned forward and lifted her up, grabbing those tits of hers again. Cupping them from behind and squeezing them while his big dick pleased her hot pussy.
She fell forward onto her elbows again after a short while, still with his hands cupping her tits, holding them and pulling her back onto his dick with them. Pumping her full of his meat into her well-fucked pussy, he stared into the mirror watching the scene, hearing her call his name.
"Ben, OH BEN, FUCK ME! She cried loudly. "YOOUU FUUCKK MEE SOOOOOO GOOOOD! II'VVVEE NEVER FEELLT THISS GOOOOD! OHHHHH YEEEESSSSSS! She screamed.
Squeezing those tits of hers again he asked, "Can I have you when, where and how I want?"
"YES! OH YES! YOOUU CANN FUUCKK MEE, WHEENEVVERâŚ" She panted, coming close to orgasm, "WHEERREEVERâŚ." Gripping the table white knuckled, face contorting even more, her eyes shut, " HOWWEVVER YOOUUU WAANNNTT!"
Pushing back she moaned.
Fucking her for all he was worth Ben cried out, "I'M GONNA CUM INSIDE YOU! INSIDE YOUR GIRL JOSH!!"
Ben reluctantly let go of Karina's tits and grabbed a handful of her long blonde hair, yanking her head back, Karina moaned louder than before, thrust backwards as he thrust forwards as hard as he could and buried his dick to the hilt inside of her.
"YES! YES! OHHH YEEAH! I'MMMMM CUUUMMMMMINGGGGG!!!!!!" Karina screamed loudly for the second time that night.
"I'MM CUMMING!" Ben cried out, "OH YEAH, ALL IN YOUR PUSSY! I'M FILLING YOU WITH MY CUM!" He cried to Karina.
Just then his dick exploded gobs and gobs of hot sticky cum deep within Karina's pussy. Her boyfriend's friend's seed shot straight up her pussy into her womb.
Shuddering underneath him, head still yanked back by her long blonde hair, Karina groaned loudly as her own orgasm hit her. Even more powerful than the first as she thought that she had just fucked her boyfriends friend for the second time and let him cum in her. She smiled.
"Sooooo gooooood" She moaned
As their shuddering and cumming slowly started to fade, Ben let Karina's head go and she collapsed on the table. He collapsed in the chair.
"You are amazing." He told her breathlessly, "I have never cum so hard in my life."
Karina lay on the table, the glass not as cool as it had been, with her large tits squashed against the glass of the tabletop.
All she could hear was her heartbeat, her breathing and the constant words of "sooo gooood" coming from her mouth. She could feel Ben's cum deep inside of her. Two loads she had taken from him, once in her mouth, now also in her pussy. She was well fucked, she felt so tired she just lay there for a while, relishing in the unbelievable fuck she had just had and this amazing feeling she now buzzed with.
Josh still sat watching the end of the game, completely unaware that his beautiful girlfriend, the object of so many men's desires, was lying across the kitchen table after a thorough fucking from his best friend. He didn't know that she had swallowed Ben's cum and had had Ben cum deep inside her pussy after two orgasm wrenching fucks. In fact, while Karina was slamming her pussy back on Ben's long dick in the kitchen, getting filled with all of his hot cum, Josh had been eating a couple of chips with dip on watching the dolphins miss a kick. He didn't even notice they were missing! The Raiders were about to win after all!
Karina clasped her bra back over her tits and pulled the top over her head while Ben was doing up his jeans and buttoning his shirt up again.
She walked to the mirror and straightened her hair as much as she could, it still looked a mess and her face was flushed. She also had a huge grin on her face, like the cat that got the cream, or a girl who just fucked her guy's best mate in the kitchen and certainly did get the "cream". Straightening her skirt she walked unsteadily on her legs.
Ben grabbed her waist from behind and stopped her just by the glass doors.
"That was great! Next time I want to fuck you in the bed you share with Josh while he is here." He told her.
"Come round soon." She said to him and kissed his cheek, "You can get a few of the guys round for a game of poker and you can poke me." She laughed.
"Maybe some of the guys will want to play POKE-HER with you." He said reaching up and squeezing her breast.
"Mmmmm, maybe!" She said with that teasing smile.
"Wear that eternity ring, I like looking at it as you call out my name while I am fucking you." He told her
"Ooooo, I will!" With a sparkle in her eye she answered and walked back into the lounge with Ben following her.
Josh watched as the Raiders made their final touchdown to win the superbowl and he jumped up yelling and screaming.
"WOOHOO! THEY DID IT!" He yelled.
He sat down and cracked open a beer to celebrate.
Just then Karina came in from the kitchen. Her hair looked a little messed up and her face was red too. Why were her clothes crumpled? Ben came in, his shirt was crumpled and his face was red too.
"What happened to you two?" He asked
"We went to "make" dinner, it was "really hot" in there! I, we, didn't make too much noise did we?" Karina said with a smile on her face
But Josh had already dismissed it. He told her that the Raiders had won the Superbowl and she walked over to him, quickly and on very unsteady legs, had she been drinking?, hugged him and gave him a deep passionate kiss. Her tongue probing his.
She must have put too much salt in the food, as her mouth tasted salty. He asked her as much.
"You wouldn't have liked the food, Even Ben wouldn't swallow it, So I had it all. I don't mind salty food; I have had two today. It was all thick and creamy and I couldn't get enough of it. Too bad I ran out of time to "make" some more, but I'll definitely have some more again, I enjoyed it too much not too" She said proudly and with a smile at Ben.
Ben had that cheeky grin on his face again.
"Well, I better go then mate, plane to catch tomorrow you know." Ben said to Josh
"Honey, Ben wanted to ask you if you wanted to host a poker game here some night, I don't mind if you do, I have lots I could "do"." Karina said
"She must be really horny, she has that teasing smile on her face again." He thought
"Sure that's fine with me. Be prepared to lose your chips though Ben, I'm better at poker than you." Josh replied, bantering with his old friend.
"I think you had better be careful Josh, Ben is REALLY good at Poke-her" Karina said with that smile. Only Ben picked up on the added emphasis on POKE-HER though.
"I'll see you out then mate." Josh said to Ben
"Bye Ben, I'll see you soon I hope." Karina said smiling
When the two friends got to the door Ben turned around and said,
"I had fun tonight man. Thanks for asking me over tonight, it's been great. And mate, that's one great girl you have there."
Ben said thanks and Ben went out,
Karina watched as the two guys left the room. Smiling inside and outside she loved teasing Josh, especially with those words that told of what went on in the kitchen. But Josh didn't notice, and that made her feel even naughtier.
"That was so kinky," She thought to herself, "I can't wait for this poker game. I will be the most entertaining hostess there can be."
She was ready to fuck again now. Life was about to get a lot kinkier for Karina, and she was looking forward to it.
It's easy to make a villain character nasty. Make the villain a silent killer, an abuser, a bully, a merciless tyrant.
But the how about making a villain who is an utterly malicious influence on people...like a demon from a horror movie
For these villains, corrupting people's minds is a skill. And here's how you can show it.
Decide what corruption means in your story
Is it moral compromise, addiction, political radicalization, spiritual rot, greed, cruelty, or the slow loss of empathy. Pick one primary kind so the decline feels clear.
Give the villain a coherent philosophy
A corruptor rarely thinks they are evil. They believe they are revealing the truth, freeing people, restoring order, or rewarding the brave. Write that belief as something they could defend in public without sounding insane.
Make their offer emotionally accurate
Corruption starts with a relief valve. Safety. Belonging. Status. Revenge. Money. Permission to stop being âgood.â The villain should offer what the target already aches for.
Choose targets with specific pressure points
People do not fall evenly. Pick characters with bruises. Shame they hide. A hungry ambition. A private fear. A resentment they have kept polite. Corruption grabs what is already loose.
Build a relationship, not a transaction
The best corruptors earn trust first. They listen well. They remember details. They make the target feel seen in a way no one else bothers to do. That intimacy becomes the hook.
Start with a small, justifiable step
One lie that âprotectsâ someone. One stolen file for a âgood reason.â One cruel joke that feels like finally speaking truth. The first step must be easy to excuse.
Let the villain teach a new language
Corruption is often vocabulary. âNecessary.â âRealistic.â âWeak.â âDeserved.â âCollateral.â When the target starts using the villainâs words, you can show the shift without speeches.
Use reward, then cost, then relief
The target does something wrong and gets a payoff. Then guilt or consequences hit. Then the villain provides relief, reassurance, or a new rationalization. That rhythm creates dependence.
Make the villain control the frame
They decide what events mean. A rejection becomes proof the world is rigged. A mistake becomes proof mercy is foolish. If the villain can narrate reality, they can steer choices.
Escalate by narrowing options
Each step should reduce the targetâs ability to go back. Burn a bridge. Hide evidence. Betray a friend. Once return is expensive, forward motion starts to feel like the only path.
Give the target moments of resistance
If the fall is smooth, it feels fake. Add hesitation, self disgust, small attempts to be decent. The villain should respond by tightening the bond or sharpening the threat.
Show the social fallout, not just inner change
Corruption is visible in who they avoid, who they mock, what they stop caring about, how they treat weaker people, what they do when no one is watching.
Make the villainâs own stake personal
A corruptor wants more than victory. They want to be proven right. They want to replicate themselves. They want company in their darkness. They want a witness who cannot judge them.
Pay it off with a clean turning point
Give one scene where the target crosses a line they used to swear they would never cross. Keep it simple. One choice, one action, one consequence. That is the moment the reader remembers.
On Writing A Compelling Character Redemption Arc (Best Tips)
1. Establish a Strong Starting Point and Motivation
Redemption arcs are not exclusively for villains; they can also apply to fallen heroes or characters in a state of failure caused by arrogance, selfishness, or laziness.
⢠Acknowledge the Wrongdoing: The character might start by feeling no remorse, having a partial understanding of their wrongs, or acknowledging their problems but struggling to overcome them. The latter often makes a character more relatable to the audience.
⢠Establish Unhappiness: A character should be unhappy with their current life or the world, providing a foundation for why they might eventually seek a different path.
2. Utilize the "Trifecta" of Change
A compelling arc involves shifting three core perceptions: what the stakes are for the character, how they view themselves, and how they view the world. For a redemption to feel earned, the character's old way of acting must become incompatible with their evolving views. For example, a character who begins to view kindness as honorable can no longer justify acts of cruelty.
3. Introduce Agents and Threads of Change
Characters rarely change in a vacuum; they need catalysts to shift their perspective:
⢠Agents of Change: Introduce a person or situation that compels the character to seek redemption. This could be a positive influence (like a mentor or someone they want to love them) who challenges their worldview.
⢠Confronting Reality: Force the character to face the gravity and reality of their actions.
⢠Radical Shifts in Circumstances: A major change in the character's environment or status (such as going from a high-ranking official to a prisoner) can humble them and provide new perspectives.
4. Ensure the Arc is Non-Linear and Earned
Real growth is messy and rarely follows a straight line from bad to good.
⢠Include Relapses and Moral Failures: To maintain realism and tension, characters should experience moral setbacks or "hiccups" where they fall back into old habits. These failures make the eventual triumph more empowering because they show the character struggling against deeply ingrained desires.
⢠Avoid the "Switch Flip": Redemption should not be too quick or easy; a character must put themselves on the line and struggle to earn their new status.
5. Create "Full Circle" Moments
A powerful technique is to bring the character back to a situation similar to the one that originally led them astray.
⢠The Second Chance: Provide an opportunity for redemption where the character faces a choice mirroring a past failure. By choosing differently this time, the character demonstrates clarity and genuine growth.
⢠Facing the Dream: Sometimes a character needs to achieve what they originally wanted (such as power or approval) only to realize it is not what they actually need or want anymore.
6. Focus on Responsibility and Symmetry
Redemption is about more than just "not being bad" anymore; it requires active amendment.
⢠Accept Responsibility Without Defensiveness: A redeeming character should acknowledge that the hatred or mistrust others feel toward them is justified. They should continue to do good because it is right, even if they are not immediately forgiven or praised for it.
⢠Employ Symmetry and Poetic Justice: The characterâs redemptive actions should reflect their past wrongs. For instance, if a character failed to intervene in a past tragedy due to cowardice, their redemption is most resonant when they later perform a brave act to prevent a similar tragedy.
⢠Put in the Work: Characters must actively work to build trust through their deeds rather than just expecting it after an apology.
7. Handle the Ending Carefully
While the "redemption equals death" trope is common, it is often less compelling because it can allow a character to escape the consequences of their actions, such as mending relationships or dealing with ongoing guilt. If a character does die, it is most effective when the death provides thematic symmetryâfor example, dying to defend a place or person they once threatened. Otherwise, exploring the aftermath of redemption and how the character lives with their past is often more meaningful

To write a compelling badass character, you should focus on demonstrating their strength through actions rather than labels, balancing their competence with vulnerability, and potentially using the element of surprise.
Show, Donât Tell
One of the most important rules is to never explicitly call your character a "badass" or have other characters refer to them as such in dialogue or narration. Let their skill, fearlessness, and confidence speak for itself through their actions. If you constantly remind the reader of a character's status, it can lead to "overkill" and make the character feel unearned. Instead, present the character as they are and let the reader decide if they are worth championing.
The "Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass" Technique
You can create a highly memorable character by utilizing the element of surprise. This involves starting with a character who appears to be an unserious, clumsy, or foolish "lovable fool".
The Contrast: Establish a stark difference between their initial "moron" persona and their hidden abilities.
The Trigger: Use a profound event to spark the transformation, such as a desperate need to protect someone they care about or an emotionally charged memory.
The Shift: When triggered, the character should undergo a "night and day" shift, becoming resolute, intense, and displaying skills (like advanced intellect or physical prowess) that were previously hidden.
Emotional Control and Presence
A classic badass often maintains a "straight-faced" demeanor, showing little emotion even during intense conflict.
Coolness Under Pressure: While they may feel emotions internally, they often suppress them in key moments of conflict to remain effective.
Avoid Over-Cockiness: Be careful not to make them so arrogant that they lose focus. A character who loses a won fight because they "wouldn't shut up" or became too cocky can be a disappointment to the audience rather than a badass.
Moral Boundaries: A true badass often knows when the fight is over and does not continue to attack an opponent who can no longer fight back.
Resilience and Proactivity
Badassery is often defined by a character's refusal to give up, regardless of the odds.
Proactive Failure: They should remain proactive even when they fail. Characters like Geralt of Rivia are considered badass not because they are invincible, but because they keep going despite being tricked, roughed up, or outmatched.
The Underdog Factor: Badasses are often underdogs or outcasts who face insurmountable obstacles. While a normal underdog might barely win, a badass turns the situation around to achieve a crushing victory.
Dialogue and Personality Flaws
To keep a badass character from feeling like a one-dimensional "goody two-shoes," give them a distinct voice and realistic weaknesses.
Sarcastic Wit: If a character is highly competent, giving them a cocky or sarcastic edge can make them feel more badass. Since you have time as a writer, use it to craft the "best comeback possible" that the character can deliver in the moment.
Meaningful Flaws: Give them things they are genuinely bad at. A character who is human, makes mistakes, and gets scared but continues to move forward is often more compelling than an immortal, perfect hero.
Writing a badass character is like forging a blade: you need the hard steel of competence and resilience, but without the tempering heat of flaws and the sharp edge of a distinct personality, itâs just a heavy piece of metal rather than a functional tool.
Alright, Tumblr writers. Sit down. Drink some water. Iâm back with more writing tips I learned the hard way, usually at 2am while questioning every life choice Iâve ever made. Take what helps. Leave what doesnât. Argue with me in the comments if you must.
1. Your tone doesnât have to stay consistent to be good.
You can be funny and devastating. Soft and brutal. Whiplash is sometimes the point. Life doesnât stick to one genre â your writing doesnât have to either.
2. Trauma shouldnât only explain behaviour; complicate it.
If a backstory only makes a character quieter, sadder, or âstronger,â itâs underused. Trauma creates contradictions: wanting closeness but flinching from it, craving stability but sabotaging it. That tension is the point.
3. If youâre exhausted by your own story, take that seriously. Burnout while writing isnât a sign that your story is bad â itâs usually a sign that something is off in the process. You might be editing while drafting, forcing the plot to go somewhere it doesnât want to, or circling the same emotional beat without letting it change. Before you delete anything or decide you âhateâ the story, step back. Distance fixes more drafts than starting over ever will.
4. If you suddenly lose all motivation halfway through a scene, donât push â jump.
That drop usually happens right before an emotional beat you havenât figured out yet. Instead of forcing filler, jump past it. Write the aftermath. Write the reaction. Once you know where the scene lands, going back to fill in the middle is way easier.
5. Don't be afraid to kill your darlings.
Sometimes, you write a line or a scene that you love, but it doesn't fit the story. It's okay to cut it. Maybe it can be used elsewhere, or maybe it just needed to be written to get you to the next part. Your story will be stronger for it. But make sure to save it somewhere else for later.
6. Let characters surprise you.
Sometimes, a character will do something unexpected. Don't fight it. Let them surprise you. Maybe they'll reveal a hidden side or take the story in a new direction. Trust your charactersâthey might know where they're going better than you do.
7. If your dialogue sounds stiff, check how the character answers.
Real people dodge, deflect, misunderstand, and answer questions with different questions. If one character asks something important and the other responds clearly and honestly on the first try, it can feel fake. Add friction. Let them avoid the point. Thatâs usually where the tension lives.
8. If you get a sudden burst of inspiration for a totally different scene, write it immediately.
Donât worry about continuity. Donât worry about spoilers. Donât worry about âdoing it out of order.â That excitement is your brain handing you something important. You can always stitch it in later â you canât always get the feeling back.
9. If you ever catch yourself thinking, âI should probably explain this,â pause.
That urge usually shows up right after youâve written something subtle and start worrying the reader wonât get it. Before you add explanation, ask: is the clue there? If the emotion, action, or detail already points in the right direction, trust it. Over-explaining often flattens moments that were already working.
10. If you donât know how to start a scene, start a few seconds late.
Writers often open scenes too early â characters entering rooms, greeting each other, settling in. Skip that. Start where something is already happening: mid-conversation, mid-thought, mid-tension. Readers will catch up faster than you think. (A LOT of my writing starts like this, but lots of people like it... so it works I guess.)
11. If you write your main character as ânormal,â donât abandon that the second they're thrown in a difficult situation.
If you establish a character as ordinary â awkward, untrained, unsure â they shouldnât suddenly start moving smoother, or reacting like a seasoned fighter the moment things get hard. Stress doesnât usually make people cooler or more competent; it makes them messier. If you want them to survive a difficult situation, let it be through panic, luck, instinct, help from others, or small, clumsy decisions. The moment they act like a different person, they stop feeling real â and readers will notice.
12. If your redemption arc starts with instant forgiveness, it isnât redemption.
Redemption requires effort, discomfort, and time. The character should change before theyâre accepted again â not after. Forgiveness is a result, not a starting point.

Okay, thatâs it. No more tips. Iâve run out of wisdom and itâs past the hour where good decisions are made.
If even one of these made you go, âoh. that explains a lot actually,â then this post did its job. You donât have to use all of them. You donât have to agree with me. Writing isnât a checklist â itâs trial and error and accidentally discovering your best scenes while doing something âwrong.â
So write out of order. Let the tone shift. Let your characters be complicated and a little inconvenient. Skip the boring parts. Trust the moment before you explain it to death.
And if your draft feels messy or unfinished or emotionally confusing?
Good. That usually means youâre close.
Go write something that surprises you. Something that hurts a little. Something youâll reread later and realise you were braver than you thought.
Youâre not doing it wrong.
Youâre writing.

Ways That Fear Can Show Up (Without Saying âFearâ)
When it creeps:
⢠Foreboding â the air feels wrong before anything actually happens.
⢠Ominousness â silence that feels almost... purposeful.
⢠Misgiving â your instincts tugging at your sleeve, whispering, "Don't."
When it hits fast:
⢠Shock â your brain blanks
⢠Startledâ your heart slams, you inhale
⢠Panic â thoughts fracture; your instincts beg for escape
When it lingers:
⢠Tension â jaw locked, shoulders up near your ears.
⢠Anxiety â background noise that lingers in every thought
⢠Dread â knowing something bad is coming and having to wait for it.
When it turns physical:
⢠Shivers â cold crawling up the spine.
⢠Sweat, dilated pupils, skin gone pale â your own body betrays you.
⢠Weakness â knees like jelly, grip unreliable.
When it overwhelms:
⢠Terror â too big to think around.
⢠Horror â something has gone wrong.
⢠Paralysis â body refusing orders.
When it distorts reality:
⢠Paranoia â patterns where there are none.
⢠Suspicion â every sound feels intentional.
⢠Unease â the sense of being watched without proof.
