Writers have two modes and they are "i haven't written in three weeks and i am rotting from the inside and everything feels wrong and i don't know who i am anymore" and "i wrote for four hours straight and forgot to eat and it's dark outside and when did that happen and i feel like a god" and there is nothing in between. no chill. no medium setting. just famine or feast and a very confused nervous system.

‘Hope in the Face of Hopelessness’ Dialogue

“I know what this looks like, but we can’t give up now.”

“We’ve come so far already.”

“If there is even a tiny chance that we could make it… We have to try.”

“There has to be another way.”

“Your optimism is going to be the death of us all.” “Maybe. But at least we won’t have to say that we gave up.”

“I refuse to accept this outcome.”

“Listen to me: If you give up now, it’ll all have been for nothing.”

“Don’t make me walk this road alone. Come with me.”

“As long as I’m still breathing, we are not giving up.”

“We’ve been through worse than this and came out in top. We can do it again.”

“You think I made it to this point by giving up easily? Hell no.”

Aveline: You let people get away with a great deal for a detective.

Neve: I work in Dock Town. If I arrested everyone breaking the law, I’d be the only person left.

Aveline: That’s not especially reassuring.

Neve: It’s practical.

Aveline: There’s a difference between practical and permissive.

Neve: There’s also a difference between Kirkwall and Minrathous.

Aveline: Fair enough. I’m not sure I envy you either way.

Mirror neurons are the reason you cry at a funeral for someone you never met. your brain literally cannot tell the difference between watching grief and experiencing it, it just runs the program. and writers who understand this are playing an entirely different game. you don't describe the sadness. you put the reader in the body that feels it. the mirror neuron does the rest. you're not writing emotion. you're building a trigger for theirs.

Deep Water Prompt #3522

The cab nearly flies off the road below as it undulated like a giant wave. "The mountain doesn't like you," says the driver, gruff, which is too bad, because the cabin is already mine.
