Do you guys ever say the wrong thing in a conversation and then have it haunt you for months or years afterwards like a social anxiety poltergeist?

Tbh the idea that German is an angry or ugly language is just French propoganda to divert attention away from the fact that French sounds exactly like when your dog is choking on some plastic wrapper he found somehow

[unofficiallyjuni-deactivated201]

I love her. Forever reblog.

[theatsymbol-deactivated20210220]

I have the utmost respect for this woman. 

[the-dream-i-had]

please reblog. reblog the way you would reblog a picture of a hot singer, a pretty girl, a tasty meal or some nice stationary. Because this will not make your blog ‘less aesthetic’ or anything. This is important, far more important than anything I’ve mentioned before.

If there’s one thing I’ll give 2017 over 2016, it’s that it’s kind of stunning that the year is mostly over? 

2016 felt like the year that would never die. 

2017 is a hectic nightmare that never slows down enough for you to be aware of the passage of time.

Learning modern languages: Hello! How are you? My name is Josh. I am happy today. Where is the bathroom please?

Learning ancient languages: Life is long and unbearably hard. Each day barbarians slaughter another member of my family. Pirates, sailing swiftly across the wine-dark sea, have kidnapped my sister and stolen our grain. We are starving. Oh immortal gods! Soon we all will die.

To be a better writer...

Be aware that as a general guideline, the average chapter should be between 2,000 to 5,000 words. This doesn’t mean you can’t go below or beyond depending on your story needs, but keep your readers’ attention span in mind and remember that chapter length affects pacing.

[iammultitudes-deactivated202110]

This is super dependent on genre and age range but the typical YA novel would probably be around this range

[legit-writing-tips]

This is about right. Additionally, it’s a good rule of thumb to have 1 to 5 scenes per chapter. 

I tend to prefer organizing chapters so they contain an odd number of scenes as it helps with pacing, and ensures a chapter has a beginning, midpoint and an end. 

One final note - try not to keep all scenes within a chapter at the same length.

Example - A 5000 word chapter can have an opening scene that’s about 1500 words, a second scene that gets to the “meat” of the chapter that’s about 2200 words, and then a 1300 word chapter to wrap things up and move you into the next chapter. 

(Shorter is often better for the last scene in a chapter so you keep up the momentum and make the reader ready for the next chapter.)
