Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.

Three Peacock pets OP?

[kedreeva]

The photo is actually 2 peahens (a mom and daughter) and a peacock (son). But there are 33 more (breeders + this year's offspring) outside (where these three also live), and two hens out on breeding loan currently. Because I'm a breeder, who breeds them, and these are some of my breeding stock animals.

So no! Actually it's much more than 3 peacock pets :)

Unpopular opinion: Our inner child doesn't grow up, we unconsciously ground them when we get older.

Emgo316 once said: "You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing."

When he turned 30, my oldest brother complained that no one gave him toys anymore. And so I started giving him, and my other older brother, and my parents, toys for birthdays. Soon, we were all doing it.

I encouraged my mother to dig my brothers' teddy bears out of the attic (I never gave mine up; it went to college with me). When each turned 50, she gave them their old teddy bear. I have pictures of them with huge smiles on their faces, holding their old teddy bears.

When my father turned 70, my mom and I gave him a "vintage" (anniversary edition) Slinky, a miniature Radio Flyer red wagon, a bag of marbles, Silly Putty, and a couple of balsa wood airplane kits, and he loved them.

You are never too old to play. If for some reason you stopped, you can start again. If you never did, you can start now. Go! Have fun! Do what makes you happy!

Ok I looked this up and the discription is half true but not in the way you would think. The fossil is a real example of a Stupendemys geographicus, a pre historical turtle species that could grow to the size size of a small car. The man however is misidentified. "Carlos" is actually Dr. Rodolfo Sánchez, Director of the Paleontological Institute and Museum at the University of Zurich in Sweden, who was the team leader of the paleontologists that found the fossil.

"Dr. Rodolfo Sánchez, Director of the Paleontological Institute and Museum at the University of Zurich in Sweden" is a standard unit of measurement

I cannot stress this enough Zürich is in Switzerland not Sweden.

I saw a post talking about how Terry Pratchett only wrote 400 words a day, how that goal helped him write literally dozens of books before he died. So I reduced my own daily word goal. I went down from 1,000 to 200. With that 800-word wall taken down, I’ve been writing more. “I won’t get on tumblr/watch TV/draw/read until I hit my word goal” used to be something I said as self-restraint. And when I inevitably couldn’t cough up four pages in one sitting, I felt like garbage, and the pleasurable hobbies I had planned on felt like I was cheating myself when I just gave up. Now it’s something I say because I just have to finish this scene, just have to round out this conversation, can’t stop now, because I’m enjoying myself, I’m having an amazing time writing. Something that hasn’t been true of my original works since middle school. 

And sometimes I think, “Well, two hundred is technically less than four hundred.” And I have to stop myself, because - I am writing half as much as Terry Pratchett. Terry fucking Pratchett, who not only published regularly up until his death, but published books that were consistently good. 

And this has also been an immense help as a writer with ADHD, because I don’t feel bad when I take a break from writing - two hundred words works up quick, after all. If I take a break at 150, I have a whole day to write 50 more words, and I’ve rarely written less than 200 words and not felt the need to keep writing because I need to tie up a loose end anyways. 

Yes, sometimes, I do not produce a single thing worth keeping in those two hundred words. But it’s much easier to edit two hundred words of bad writing than it is to edit no writing at all.

[theamyrlinsofa]

This is the second time this post passes on my dash and it’s the best advice I ever got. I can’t write consistently in one go, it’s always about 50 words and then I get distracted and just have to do something else for a while. Do the math quickly: trying to write 2000 words a day takes a looooong time that way. So there were many days where I just didn’t even start writing, cause I wouldn’t reach my goal anyways and feel like a failure. Then I stumbled upon this post and I thought: hey, let’s give this a try. And it works! I set my goal between 200-400 words a day and that’s perfectly doable. Some days I get into the flow and I write a whole lot more. On other days, I struggle to get those 200 out but hey, at least I wrote 200 words and reached my goal. Whatever the outcome, t makes me feel good and accomplished. 

Writing takes practice, so even if it’s only 100 words a day, it’s better than nothing. If it worked for Terry Pratchett and me, than it can work for you too!

My own tags because I am particularly proud of them:

#l also endorse this method #The important thing is to get your butt in the chair and make a habit of that #The writing follows like a stray cat: you need to sit long enough to lure it into your lap #At which point you’re stuck there until the writing leaves (you finish) or you need to go to the bathroom badly enough to disturb it
