Some of the best writing advice I ever got was if you’re stuck on a scene or a line, the problem is actually about 10 lines back and that’s saved me from writer’s block so many times.
I feel like I need an elaborate explanation
Often times, I find myself stuck on what a character should say next or what should happen in a scene to connect A to B or so on. When this happens, I fall into the trap of writing and rewriting the same few lines over and over, and becoming more and more dissatisfied every time until I give up.
But problem is almost never actually whatever line I’m trying to write at the moment; the issue is the stuff leading up to the line. Maybe there are structural issues with the set up, maybe I wrote a bit of dialogue that was out of character leading to a discussion that doesn’t make sense, maybe I’m missing a vital piece of exposition or expositing too much. It could be a lot of things, but the important part of the advice is to look back and be willing to consider changes to something earlier in the work (even if you’re really attached to like a piece of dialogue or a particular sentence or something) instead of trying to find a way to force out a scene that’s not working.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for explaining!
This is really helpful!
Woah! I never thought about that! Thanks!
I wish beats were taught in more writing, because that’s what this is, essentially. If you are stuck, back up and make sure you last few beats (specific job of a section of a few lines) line up properly like a spine (another writing concept I wish was more common outside of theatre). Each beat should express a want of the character and lead naturally to the next.

The most hilarious thing about the fact Buckbeak had a trial and lost is that later on JKR resolves the issue by having Hagrid take him in again and renaming him Witherwings. That’s literally all it took. What if in POA, Hagrid simply said, “Sorry, Buckbeak flew away.”
“There’s a hippogriff right there, Hagrid.”
“A different hipprogriff.”
“I’m… pretty sure that’s the same hipprogriff.”
“Prove it.”

Prisoner of Azkaban continues to be the most frustrating book
Someone should have just adopted Sirius and started calling him Gerald.
Remus: Erm… this is our new order member, my… cousin Gerald. Gerald White.
“Mr. Lupin that is Sirius Black with glasses!” “Oh come now Minister, Sirius Black doesn’t wear glasses. That wouldn’t make sense.” “Well have Mr. White take off his glasses then!” “He can’t he needs them to see.”
it got better
It’s honestly a miracle to me that wizarding society doesn’t collapse every other week because like
You’ve got this world full of people who can destroy whole buildings or turn people into beetles or make vehicles fly just by waving a stick at them
And there is literally no common sense
Anywhere to be found
Voldemort would never have had anyone find out he was back if he just went around calling himself Steve
Okay, see, I thought I saved this post to comment on it but I’d like to bring up
The Minister would NEVER EVER disbelieve in Gerald White. He’d buy it hook line and sinker. The wizarding world would buy it hook line and sinker. The GOBLINS wouldn’t but wizards have been shown to be pretty blindingly clueless. Still, Gringotts would grudgingly give Sirius access to the Black fortune.
But, but, but, you know the one person
the one person
who Gerald White would drive AB-SO-LUTELY FUCKING BATSHIT?
Severus Snape.
Snape would do everything, EVERYTHING, to get people to believe that it’s Sirius. But the Order would ignore it (they accepted Sirius as Sirius before anyway) and Remus would just be so… so affronted.
‘Severus, he is my cousin.’
And Sirius would love it. He’d love the fact that Snape just hated it. He’d be the BEST DAMN GERALD WHITE EVER b/c Snape is doing everything from dropping veritaserum into his firewhisky to capturing a dementor in a box and releasing it on Sirius when he least expects it
That one causes problems for a bare minute because SHIT A DEMENTOR ATTEMPTED TO GIVE GERALD THE KISS MAYBE SNAPE IS RIGHT except Harry comes forward and is like ‘excuse me, I’ve never committed a crime and dementors are ALWAYS attacking me, I think they’re attracted to glasses’
and the magical community is like ‘shit, yeah, you’re right’
and just
Spare. Snape goes spare.
Picturing Snape as Mr. Crocker from the Fairly Oddparents now.
Gerald White eventually becomes a fully registered animagus. When he turns into his animagus form right in front of Snape, Snape’s bursting at the seams, just pointing at him and spluttering:
‘HE’S A BIG BLACK DOG! A DOG - THAT IS BLACK. SIRIUS BLACK. BLACK DOG DOG BLACK.’
And Remus calmly says: “That’s absurd, Severus. Sirius Black was never an animagus and besides which, people’s names don’t have any influence over their animagus forms or anything like that. That’s ridiculous.”
And Snape yells: “Shut it WEREWOLF MCWEREWOLF!”
Everyone looks at Remus, who blinks and sighs as Gerald White turns back into his human form.
“Pure coincidence,” Gerald says. “My aunt was into Roman mythology. Has to happen sometimes.” Then he pauses to give Snape an overly concerned look. “Are you alright, Severus? You’re looking a little red.”
^this is my new life
im crying thanks for this
Another point in the direction of Gerald White Not Being Sirius Black is that everyone knows Sirius Black hated Severus Snape. Gerald White bakes the ungrateful dungeon bat cookies and is always polite to him. It so nice that Gerald really wants to be friends.
Nicolas Cage as Spider-Man Noir Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (2018)
Ummm the Nazi’s didn’t become a major threat until AFTER 1933, heck I think Hitler was in JAIL during 1933 after the Beer Hall fiasco. I could be wrong but, I think the movie makers forgot to check their history. Unless the Nazi’s got into power in 1933 in Noir’s verse. Context helps.
This was so easy to google:
Not to mention the fact that while Nazis as a formal party existed for 13 years as of his “home” era, the political faction that would ultimately develop into the Nazi war machine existed for decades before that and made up a fair amount of the German forces in WWI. The antisemitism Nazis built their ideology on existed in that region for millennia by that point. And if anyone’s thinking “well sure, Nazis existed, but America didn’t get involved in the war until much later,” I’ll remind them that spider-man is a different guy than the US Military.
1933 is literally when Hitler came to power how the fuck is someone gonna try to criticize an alternate timeline in a superhero movie for sharing the same history as the real world
The Nazis took control of Germany in January 1933. By March, they’d dismantled democracy. From the moment they took office, they turned a blind eye to their supporters harassing, beating, or even killing Jews, and by April, they’d begun legally persecuting Jews themselves.
Spider Noir would have had tons of opportunities to punch Nazis in 1933. Both members of the official Nazi government in Germany, and their American fanboys - who, by the way, called themselves the America First movement. Make of that what you will.
In this house, we stan Nazi-punching black-and-white spider-ledgends only.

I have to move
Hey guys, it’s me again. As I haven’t been able to secure a job by now (14th January 2019), I have to move.
I have to transfer my lease agreement to another tenant. I’ve had a couple interested parties already, so that’s not so much the problem – but the fee for the real estate agent to transfer is $155.
That’s the cheaper option - other options are breaking my lease, which means paying my landlord compensation and rent as well as advertising prices. Obviously not something I can do with no income.
I’ve applied for government assistance, and the estimated time of processing is 18th of February 2018. Obviously I cannot wait until then.
I am taking art commissions, pricing and details here. I specialise in small personal illustrations but can be hired for larger projects or concepts. I am a qualified concept artist with seven years of freelance experience at your disposal.
I can proof read, edit and beta writing for a rate of $3 per page.
I am also opening donations though I would prefer to give something in return. If you can’t or don’t want to donate or commission me, please signal boost this. I don’t have much money left after paying my last month’s rent and any government income is still at least a month away.
Paypal
Ko-fi
So because of my rent and two bills, I have $20 in total to my name, and I still have a month to go before I get any government assistance.
Apparently there is a hardship payment that I can apply for, and I will, but I don’t know how long it will take. Please consider commissioning me.
My parents lent me some money, which I spent on food and now I’m down to nothing. Still taking commissions!!!
I’ve applied for the hardship payment and heard nothing. I’m down to $30 in my bills account, my credit card is maxed out and my bills are still coming.
I have all the time in the world to take commissions right now. Please keep reblogging.
Have you ever seen someone who hit you so hard right in the gay feels that you lost your sense of hearing for a few moments?
To all the poor gay messes desperately asking who she is, her name is Katy M. O'Brian and the pictures in the OP are from the series Z Nation. Here’s some other pictures.
You’re all welcome.
Basically what having a Tumblr blog feels like:
Hi, yes, this is my trash wall. Feel free to have a look around.
"No, no… Don’t you dare cry ’mercy’ to me now.”
i was never seen again.
this was the best time ever bc my host had just changed the tire and I was like “oh hell yeah an old tractor tire! you know what that means!” and everyone was like “no….” the French boys and the Norwegians were like “we dont actually” and I was like my god….I’m the only hillbilly here….it’s Up To Me
and I like to think of that as the only significant cultural impact I made.
everyone’s so worried about my tree trajectory but that’s the best part about rolling downhill in tractor tires: so much of the shock is absorbed by the tire so you can pretty much do anything. in theory. i’m not a doctor I actually don’t know you could probably still die. one of the guys I roped into this went over a huge boulder and went airborn for a hot second though so that was fun
People keep commenting about my leg muscles and the answer is that’s just how u look when u work on a farm on top of a mountain
People also keep asking how you stop. The answer is: eventually
Tiny animals in tiny sweaters that will make you go aww
me: okay time to jump into the action scene
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: … “SUDDENLY”
My go-to fixes for this:
but before [Character] could [verb], ACTION!
[Character] was about to [verb] when ACTION!
but no sooner had [something] than ACTION!
but just as [something boring], ACTION!
BANG!/CRASH!/BOOM! ACTION!
“Character dialogue starting some sentence about–” ACTION!
Character’s internal monologue starting some sent– ACTION!
Narrator starting some– ACTION!
… ACTION!
Why extend your readers the courtesy of a ‘suddenly’ except to vary sentence structure?
One of my go-to fixes is
“Well, what could go wrong now?” [Character] said.
As if on cue, ACTION!
Why is it?? That I can go through the whole day feeling fine and dandy but the second I lay down for bed impending doom settles on me?
