Writing Research - The Middle Ages

Middle Ages (or Medieval period), lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: Antiquity, Medieval period, and Modern period. The Medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, the High, and the Late Middle Ages. [1] [2]

I think I’m in a book slump right now. I was looking over my TBR list and nothing caught my interest and I haven’t read anything in like a week 😒

thatgirlreads-deactivated201812

I hate book slumps to much! I spent most of last year in a slump. Nothing was interesting enough to care about reading. I read a bunch of graphic novels at the beginning of the year and that helped a ton! I hope you come out of it quick and read something amazing!

whatlovelybooks-deactivated2026

Omg I can’t believe you spent almost a full year in a book slump. That sounds like a nightmare! I’m wondering if just forcing myself to read will make it go away so I just requested Girl Out of Water by Laura Silverman from the library. Fingers crossed that this works!

mecharose

Usually re-reading something I know I love helps me get out of a slump. If what you’re doing doesn’t work maybe you could try that? Good luck!

whatlovelybooks-deactivated2026

Yeah I’m wondering if maybe I should try rereading a Sarah Dessen book since they’ve never failed me 😂

It could happen to anyone. People bury a person alive to scare them or to get rid of them. In this situation, rely only on yourself.

Do not waste oxygen. In a classic coffin there’s only enough oxygen for about an hour, maybe two. Inhale deeply, exhale very slowly. Once inhaled - do not swallow, or you will start to hyperventilate. Do not light up lighters or matches, they will waste oxygen. Using a flashlight is allowed. Screaming increases anxiety, which causes increased heartbeat and therefore - waste of oxygen. So don’t scream.

Shake up the lid with your hands. In some cheap low-quality coffins you will be able to even make a hole (with an engagement ring or a belt buckle.)

Cross your arms over your chest, holding onto your shoulders with your hands, and pull the shirt off upward. Tie it in a knot above your head, like so:

This will prevent you from suffocating when the dirt falls on your face.

Kick the lid with your legs. In some cheap coffins the lid is broken or damaged already after being buried, due to the weight of the ground above it.

As soon as the lid breaks, throw and move the dirt that falls through in the direction of your feet. When it takes up a lot of space, try pressing the ground to the sides of the coffin with your legs and feet. Move around a bit.

Whatever you do - your main goal is to sit up: dirt will fill up the empty space and move to your advantage, so no matter what - do not stop and try breathing steadily and calmly.

Get up. Remember: the dirt in the grave is very loose, so battling your way up will be easier than it seems. It’s the other way around during a rainy weather however, since water makes dirt heavy and sticky.

it indeed is western/european centric, I’m sorry for that, but for other cultures I simply don’t have so many references

ALSO note that most of the pictures show historical clothing from the upper classes or more festive clothing of the lower/working class because normal working clothes wouldn’t survive for such a long time, and the clothes were often re-used over and over again!

This is a really cool site…

ildsjels

compilation of 7 helpful sites for writers

Hey guys –– Tessa here. Over the past couple of weeks I decided to compile some helpful websites for aspiring authors and writers like myself. Hopefully some of these help you, too… and feel free to add onto the list!

1. Noisli

This one might seem kind of obvious, but this website is basically a noise generator that plays background music to help you stay focused. You can choose a variety of noises –– rain, campfire, thunderstorms, crashing waves, coffee shops, fan noises, etc. – and if you create a free account you can save the mixes you like yourself, so when you come back to writing you’ll already have your favorite noises ready to play.

2. The Forge Fantasy Generator

I’ve seen a ton of fantasy generators floating around the internet, and while some of them are helpful, this one has to be my favorite. The interface is super cool and allows you to pick between four different options –– a fantasy generator, which is a general generator used for creativity, a beast generator, which helps you come up with names for all your goblins and creatures, a spell forge, which gives you examples of spell names and their possible uses, and a land forge (my favorite!) which helps you determine a name for your magical, mythical place. There’s a ton of customizable options (such as keeping certain words and disposing others, etc.) to make it your own.

3. The Hemingway App

This one has been talked about in great length here on Tumblr, but I figured I’d reiterate to showcase it’s awesomeness. Basically, you paste (or type) whatever you’re working on and the application reads through your writing and lets you know if there are any difficult to read sentences, uses of the passive voice, how many adverbs you have, and what the reading level is for the specific passage. Of course, take all these edits with a grain of salt –– sometimes the editor doesn’t understand your writing style and will mark a sentence as “hard to read” when it really isn’t, but it’s a great editor for catching small mistakes and giving you useful stats on your piece, such as word count, paragraph length, etc.

4. The Universal Mary Sue Litmus Test

This is a very long survey, but it’s 100% worth it once you have your protagonist (or set of protagonists) laid out for your story. It’s even helpful for fan fiction and RPG, so don’t dismiss it entirely if you don’t write anything original. Basically, it’s an assessment to see if your character is a “Mary Sue” (there’s a detailed explanation of what that is on the website as well). Honestly, it’s a long survey, but depending on what type of fiction you’re working with (fanfiction, original fiction, even RPG) it won’t take you very long and it’ll give you an interesting perspective on your character. I highly recommend you take this test especially if you’re an original fiction writer. Having a strong protagonist is as central as an engaging plot!

5 & 6. Behind the Name Generator and Baby Name Voyager

I’ve lumped these two together because they serve the same purpose –– naming a character. The “Behind the Name” Generator presents you with a ton of options to check off and it’ll present you with names that fit those specific criteria, so it’s really helpful if you’re looking for a specific type of name for your character. Similarly, the Baby Name Voyager will show you an interactive chart with popular names from the decade, and if you type a name into the search bar, it’ll tell you when it was most popular (such as the ‘90s) and what names were giving to siblings, which is extremely helpful if you want to make sure your characters’ names are cohesive to the timeline of the story. There’s also a detailed-search option like the Behind the Name generator.

7. 12 Common Archetypes

Not so much a website as it is a helpful reference, but this site shows the twelve common human archetypes which is helpful when creating characters and attempting to figure out their external vs. internal motivation. This plays a lot on psychology, but fear not –– if you don’t think your character fits into a certain archetype or prefer not to use these, then don’t!

In addition, here are some awesome writing blogs who have stellar advice. Feel free to message me or any of these wonderful people if you have questions about character development, plot questions, or anything else related to writing!

Happy writing! ♡

I have nightmares about shit like this 😑😑😑

I found a diary while I was out hiking in New Hampshire. I have to admit, I’m thoroughly creeped out by what was written inside.

The diary was from a while ago; 21 years, according to the dates. It was sealed really well in plastic wrap and stuffed in a watertight bag. It I hadn’t hit the thing with my shovel when digging a hole to take a dump, I never would’ve found it. I wish that would’ve been the case because I can’t stop thinking about the stuff I read. I’m only going to share the fucked up parts, but all I’m leaving out is the lady talking about how she and her husband were spending the month camping and having a good time. There, I just saved you 5 pages. Here’s where it got weird:

————————————————————-

7/2/1994, 7:00am

Last night, James and I got woken up by a ridiculously bright flash of lightning. There was no thunder, either. James said it must’ve been heat lightning. He’s probably right because it was disgustingly hot and muggy all day and once the sun went down it got even more humid. We eventually got back to sleep and this morning the air seems a little less like a wet sponge. We’re hoping to do 12 miles today.

7/2/1994, 8:00pm

I don’t even want to write this down because it’s so gross. James asked that I do it anyway so we’ll remember to report what we saw once we get to a ranger station. Like I could forget something like this. Anyway, here: all day, while we walked, we saw animals. Deer, birds, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, and a black bear. That’s pretty par for the course out here. But when we went off the path for a little bit because, well, James was staring at my ass for the last hour while we walked and I guess he got some ideas, we were stopped by the sight of something awful about a hundred feet off the path. Well, many somethings. Strewn across a wide area that I estimated to be a couple thousand feet were miscarried animals. They were all at different stages of development. It was horrible.
