Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)

is it a hot take to say that many new popular books are badly written? because like there definitely are factors that make books well written but that's not me saying the books are bad and shouldn't be enjoyed (minus coho this is not a safe space for her books). like idk I feel bad telling some of my friends or my mom I don't like their favorite books bc of the way it's written but I also have my little collection of poorly written books that I love so it's feels hypocritical to say
anyways I am tired and want poetry nation to send me another thing about my poem that might get published before I rip the bars off my enclosure
