[legit-writing-tips]

Not sure if you had this question before, but do you have any tips on transitions between scenes?

On a technical level, the inclusion of a line break and this grouping of symbols --- "###" --- is enough to indicate a break for a new scene. Of course, I don't think that's all you're asking me.

Scene changes indicate that something has changed - the time, the place, or the subject matter. That's why it's a good idea to establish what has changed early on in a new scene. For example:

It took Adam three and a half hours to work up the nerve to go to Christie's house. By the time he got there, most of his anger had given way to anxiety. Did she really want to break up, or was the whole thing just a misunderstanding? Those thoughts swirled around and around inside his head as he stepped up and knocked at her front door.

The city lights still sparkled on the horizon, but Moira was far from civilization. There was nobody else around except for the occasional passing car on the highway, and as it grew later fewer passed by. It was almost entirely silent by one in the morning - so much so that when she finally heard Rob's footsteps on the gravel beside her, the sound was almost deafening.

After all the time they had spent training, Nia was pleased to get out and see the market for a change. The Maester had forced her to wear a glamor, saying she was too young and too pretty to go out alone. When she stopped and glanced at the reflection in her armor all she saw was the leathery face of an old woman who had spent most of her life in the fields. It made her giggle with delight - which looked even stranger, coming from the face that looked back at her. 

I tried to write examples that clearly show a transition or movement. But do keep in mind that a transition is not needed for every single scene - especially when the latter scene is not specifically a continuation of a former one. 

You DO want to be sure that you ground your reader in the time or place that a scene is taking place in, which is why transitions are a pretty good tool to use.

Y EAH YOU GO HALLIE !!!! p.s. you should go to mcgill, mcgill is closer to ontario therefore closer to the coolest person on earth (aka ME)

I was tagged by hunter-biscuit! Thank you very much~ >w<

Rules: ALWAYS POST :D

-Answer the questions of the person who tagged you and write 10 new ones

-Tag 10 people and link them (I’ll have the 10 at the bottom)

-Let them know that they have been tagged

1. What are your New Year resolutions?

Actually, I'm not the type of person to make New Year's resolutions. If I want to change something about myself, then why wait until New Year's? So...I actually didn't really make any. But I guess my general on-going goals had been to:

-Stop being late to everything -Go to sleep earlier -...Try to stand up to my parents maybe //covers face and despairs because that's probably not gonna happen

2. Favorite Disney / Pixar / Cartoon-for-kids movies?

Ahh, I actually hadn't watched many of these lately...haven't had the chance to. I guess my favourite would be "Beauty and the Beast!" I've always loved that story. It's my favourite fairy tale, for sure~

3. Any songs you are obsessed with at the moment?

Obsessed with? Ahhhh, not at the moment. But I have been listening to "Hunting for Your Dream" again and again...it's a good song! 

4. If you were stranded in a deserted island with 5 Hunter X Hunter characters, who would you want them to be and why?

Gon, Killua, Kurapika, Leorio and...hmm, Senritsu! Everyone would get along with each other (mostly), I would get along with them (probably), and there's enough brains and survival skills between the ot4 to go around so that we'd survive pretty comfortably. Senritsu would be a great help too, with her hearing. Plus she's just a nice person to have around.

5. Are there any fandoms you are absolutely determined to stay away from?

...*takes deep breath and holds hands up over face to protect self*

I actually want to stay away from the SnK fandom. Personally, I think it's overrated and had never seen what's so great about the show. However, I still get flooded by it from every direction whether I like it or not - even though I ask people to tag it, some don't, and I've seen so much that I've grown rather sick of it. The SnK fandom can also be pretty damn scary sometimes, so...I have no desire to join them.

(But of course, that's just my personal opinion. If you like SnK, that's just fine! I don't want to offend anyone *waves hands frantically*)

6. What fictional world would you like to live in? (not to meet the characters, just to live in that fictional world)

That's a hard one! Many of the fictional worlds I love are all so dangerous I'd probably get killed before I get to do anything, so...I'll go with a safer choice. Pokemon, maybe? That would be pretty awesome~

7. Why are you on tumblr?

I actually made an account here because I wanted to get more in touch with the HxH fandom. Now I've achieved that, and I'm really enjoying my time here!

8. Are there any causes or political issues you particularly care for? (feminism, religion, lgbt rights, etc)

Yup. Feminism and LGBT rights are the main ones, I think...then there's also things regarding the separation of Church and State, as well as some...erm, government issues from my home country.

9. What are some of your nerdiest or most fangirlish/fanboyish behaviors?

I don't know if I have any particularly nerdy behaviours, but...if I really get to like a series, I'll be thinking about it 24/7 and can get insanely attached in a short matter of time. I'll go crazy on the internet looking stuff up about it. I'll be rewatching/rereading bits of it over and over again. Then I'll write snippets of things, even if most of them are very self-indulgent and not fit for the public eye. And I'll be talking about it to literally anyone that's willing to listen. It'll be pretty much all that's on my mind...and thus, most that I do will probably relate to it in some way. 

10. What Nen type do you think you would be (based on Hisoka’s nen’s personalities theory) and what type of Nen do you wish you could be?

I'd be either a Transmuter or a Conjurer! It's hard to tell which since I have pretty even characteristics of both, but if I had a choice...I'll go with Transmutation. Conjuration is interesting, but it's also so much more complicated and, in many case, rather limited as well. I feel like it'll be easier to come up with a nice, useful Transmutation ability than a Conjuration one.

(My answers are really long omg I'm sorry they're so long)

My Questions:

1. Favourite genre? Action, romance, mystery, etc.

2. If you could live in any fictional world, which would it be? 

3. Favourite anime?

4. An HxH question: what Nen type do you think you would be, and what ability would you make for yourself?

5. What's your Chinese Zodiac?

6. What about your Horoscope? Do you have the traits associated with that horoscope?

7. Something stupid you did when you were a child? (We've all had at least one incident, right?)

8. Any kinds of food that you absolutely will not eat?

9. An unpopular opinion?

10. A random fact about yourself, please~!

I've tagged 10 people, but all of my followers are welcome to do this! I'd love to know more about you guys~
