New Writeblr Account!

Hello everyone! For the sake of consistency and efficiency, I’ve decided to create a separate account that’ll act as my official writeblr - thequilledsabre! I’ll be posting all future pieces of poetry, prose, writing excerpts, links for my novel(s), etc. on there, while this will act as my main blog. I'll also be interacting and sharing work from my fellow writers out there. Please be sure to follow me on there for more literary works!

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.

Speaking from bitterness trying to live in this loveless space, I find grace in the white page, a place to create something deliberate, so I can deliver it, make note of this existence and insist its more valuable than any bauble, and means more than a six-figure salary.

In sadness I witness individual in the midst of this get rich mindset insisting they will certainly be someone worthy of knowing someday,

but that day is today, their pain is not their shame, because we are collectively to blame for elevating a rigged game, and setting standards that can only be achieved through filtered social media feeds and fake it till you make it lies.

Ambition drives slow motion suicides as life subtracts pride, time, love, play, and sleep replacing it with tons of regret and despair buried so deep that we can’t even measure it yet.

Ways to Describe Emotions / Feelings!! <3

Villain Dialogue Prompts #3

♱ "You're not my enemy. You're my greatest regret."

♱ "I didn't want this for you. But you kept getting in the way."

♱ "Every move you've made--I allowed it."

♱ "You think you found me. I let you find me."

♱ "I've been inside your head longer than you know."

♱ "You're predictable because you're good. Goodness is a pattern."

♱ "I don't need to defeat you. I just need you to doubt yourself."

♱ "You're already broken. You just haven't felt it yet."

♱ "The moment you started caring, you lost."

♱ "I've studied every person you love."

♱ "You fight with your heart. That's why you'll always be slower than me."

♱ "I don't need an army. I need the right pressure on the right wound."

♱ "You want to redeem me. That's your real weakness."

♱ "I know what you're afraid of. I've always known."

♱ "You can't outthink someone who has nothing left to lose."

♱ "The version of me you're trying to save doesn't exist anymore."

♱ "I didn't fall from grace. I jumped."

♱ "You keep pulling punches. I stopped doing that years ago."

♱ "Your compassion is a map of everywhere I can hurt you."

♱ "I don't need you to hate me. Your pity is more useful."

♱ "You came here to stop me. I came here to finish you."

♱ "Do you know what's worse than a villain with no conscience? One who remembers having one."

♱ "I see the way you look at me, like I'm still saveable. Keep looking. It won't help."

♱ "You're the last good thing I could destroy. And I will."

♱ "I used to pray for someone like you to stop me. Now I just pray you're too late."

Small human things that make a character feel real !!

☽ checking your phone and not registering the time. checking it again. still nothing. putting it away anyway

☽ the half-smile you do when you're trying not to cry in public

☽ looking at your hands during a hard conversation instead of the person

☽ laughing at something right after you say it like you surprised yourself

☽ going to say something and then deciding not to and the moment is gone and it's too late and you think about it for three days

☽ the way you hold your breath without knowing when something's loading

☽ saying "no yeah totally" when you absolutely did not follow what they said

☽ the very specific tired where you're staring at a wall and your face just. stops doing things

☽ nodding while on the phone even though they cannot see you

☽ the tiny pause before you say someone's name for the first time

Things to consider when writing a character!! --2

continuing--

⊹ How do they treat people who can't do anything for them? Waitstaff? strangers? people they'll never see again? this is the oldest trick in the book for a reason. It works. How someone behaves toward people with no social utility tells you everything about their actual values versus the values they perform for an audience.

⊹ What's their relationship with their own body? Are they comfortable in it or is it something they carry around like a problem? do they take up space or make themselves small? are they aware of how they look or completely indifferent? Physicality is psychology and most writers forget the body entirely until someone needs to throw a punch.

⊹ What do they lie about and why. Not dramatic plot lies necessarily. the small everyday ones. the things they exaggerate or omit or reframe. Because people don't lie randomly, they lie to protect something. Find what your character is protecting and you'll find what they're afraid of. That fear is the ENGINE!!

⊹ Who did they used to be? not their whole backstory. just: who were they before the thing that changed them. because that person is still in there somewhere, showing up in small ways, wanting things the current version of them would never admit to. The ghost of a former self is one of the most interesting things you can write into a character without ever stating it directly.

⊹ What would make them walk away?? from the goal. from the relationship. from the person they're trying to be. everyone has a breaking point and it should be specific to them, and please not a generic "too much" but the exact thing, the particular betrayal or loss or realisation that would finally be enough. know this even if the story never reaches it.

⊹ What do they love that has nothing to do with the plot?? a specific kind of light in the afternoon. the smell of old paperback books. bad television they watch without apology. something small that belongs only to them. details like this cost you nothing and they make the reader believe in a person completely. characters who only care about plot-relevant things are not people. they're chess pieces. sorry not sorry.

Writers cannot watch a movie normally. we are sitting there going "oh that's the inciting incident" and "they introduced that object too early it's obviously coming back" and "this dialogue is doing three things at once good for them" while everyone else is just. watching the movie. having a normal experience. feeling feelings without labelling them. i envy that so much and i would never give it up.
