life is very simple you see. the goal is to look at good things (your personal email which contains tracking info on your packages) and not look at bad things (your work email that contains evil messages)

logging back into tumblr is just so weird, like how much my sadness has _evolved_ in two years is just so wild

@people who dont draw

you should draw bc ‘bad’ art makes me happy

[craspysav]

this is what im talking about. its raw. unfiltered. no ulterior motives clouded by the desire to be ‘artsy’ or ‘deep’. it is what it is and it makes me smile

writers:

break up your paragraphs. big paragraphs are scary, your readers will get scared

fuuuuck epithets. “the other man got up” “the taller woman sat down” “the blonde walked away” nahhh. call them by their names or rework the sentence. you can do so much better than this (exception: if the reader doesn’t know the character(s) you’re referring to yet, it’s a-okay to refer to them by an identifying trait)

blunette is not a thing

new speaker, new paragraph. please.

“said” is such a great word. use it. make sweet love to it. but don’t kill it

use “said” more than you use synonyms for it. that way the use of synonyms gets more exciting. getting a sudden description of how a character is saying something (screaming, mumbling, sighing) is more interesting that way.

if your summary says “I suck at summaries” or “story better than summary” you’re turning off the reader, my dude. your summary is supposed to be your hook. you gotta own it, just like you’re gonna own the story they’re about to read

follow long sentences w short ones and short ones w long ones. same goes for paragraphs

your writing is always better than you think it is. you just think it’s bad because the story’s always gonna be predicable to the one who’s writing it

i love u guys keep on trucking
