Are you currently aged 18-25 years old? Then why not help a girl out and take her survey for her dissertation? All help would be extremely appreciated!

// Hey, friends, I just had someone try a fishing attempt on my blog. If it wasn’t a bot and instead a real person: back up, creep.
That being said, apparently this is a thing that has happened before to other people, and I’m grateful for my suspicion. If you get a youtube video (one by C.rosa R.osa in my case - apparently a favorite for this) randomly sent in as a submission, and you see some name with a sketchy h.otmail email address linked to it, DO NOT CLICK ON THE EMAIL ADDRESS. The video is just a link to y.outube, yes, but the email link is not. It is a fishing attempt and will lead you to a blank page. Fortunately I looked this up before I did anything, so joke’s on you asshole.
This is so incredibly random, and I’ve never had this happen before, but it weirded me tf out enough to make a post about it.
Anyway, again, for that person who submitted that - get the hell off of my blog and off of tumblr. Ridiculous.
Hey heads up, this is what it looks like:
I don’t usually click on the e-mail anyway, but thank God for this post. I’m blocking and deleting this submission. Watch out, guys !
How do I stay motivated to write on a schedule? I want to write more, and I thought planning writing out might help.
Hey, nonny, thanks for your question! I’m pretty sure every writer has faced this problem at some point, and motivation can be hard to come by. I’m currently in a writing slump, and really I’m just making myself write every day. You’ve kind of asked two questions here - how to stay motivated/write on a schedule, and the benefits of planning, so I’ll address both.
How to Write Consistently
Unfortunately, there is no magic solution that will solve all your problems and make you want to write all the time. Sometimes, you lose motivation or inspiration, and you don’t know how to get past it. Here are a few tips to keep you writing on a consistent schedule:
Read: Do I plan it or wing it?
Personally, I am more of a panster - I tend to let my story take me where it wants as I write, and I don’t plan a lot of it. However, I do plan the rough plot points and arcs - but I usually end up changing something while I write. So, take my opinion on planning and pansting with a grain of salt.
Planning
For some people, planning their story to a ‘T’ helps them stay motivated - they know what scenes they want to include, they know how all of the scenes and plot points fit together, they know how their character arcs tie into the subplots, etc etc.
However, for some people, knowing too much about their story before they write it can hinder them and make them lose motivation. They might feel restricted by their original plan.
Pantsing
When some people write a story, they like to know nothing about it as they go into it. There are varying degrees of this - some people have a general plot, some just have an inciting incident and start from there. They might feel that this gives them more freedom with their story and boost their creativity.
On the flip side, not knowing anything about their story can make some people feel lost. They might not know how to connect scenes and plot points without a plan, or how the story should continue.
So, how do you know which one suits you, you ask? That’s up to you. You just have to see which one works for you through experience. (Generally, even if you’re pansting, you’ll probably have some idea of where your story is going, even if it changes.) Don’t be afraid to stray from your plan, or rewrite something you don’t like. It’s up to you!
Hopefully this helped you out! Here are all of our posts about outlines, if you want to start planning more. If you have another question, feel free to ask, and good luck writing!

@angiesimbot and @storitellersimssimblr both wanted to know how to do the animated rain / if I followed a tutorial for it. I didn’t, it’s kind of a very old trick I learned years ago. I ended up putting together a very quick visual guide to show you guys how to do it too:
This is the screenshot I’m gonna use. Please note you can actually see larger version of the images by clicking on them.
So I’m gonna start off with this screenshot. First thing I’m gonna do is edit it so it looks gloomier / more to my liking.
Okay cool. So now, onto the rain. I’m going to make a new layer and fill it with color (any color, really).
Now I’m gonna go to filter -> Noise -> Add Noise and use the settings below.
This would probably already work tbh, but I like my rain to be a little more contrasting, so I’m gonna go to Filter -> Stylize -> Wind and use these settings:
Then I am going to do Command+F (control on PC I think) to repeat the filter (you can also go to filter again, and the very first line will be the last filter used). Now I have my rain pattern, but it’s traveling horizontally (dopey rain).
To fix that, I’m gonna use the move tool and rotate my rain layer 90 degrees.
Now I’m just gonna pull it horizontally so it covers the whole frame. Note: make sure you don’t shrink it vertically, we’re gonna need the extra stuff that is currently above our canvas.
Now I’m gonna hit command+I to invert my image (or go to Image -> Adjustments -> Invert). Then, I need to add motion to my rain. To do that, I am going back to the filters and choosing Blur -> Motion Blur and using the settings below. You can really change things up here though, depending on how windy your day is or how dense you want your rain to be.
Okay super now change blend mode to screen, lower opacity if needed, and the rain is done. What I like to do now is add a few layers of moving water with brushes, either adding puddles or splashes or whatnot.
Aaaand the still image is done! Now all that’s left is the animation. In photoshop CC (which I’m using), just go to the top right corner of your screen and change your mode from “essentials” to “motion”. Then, “create frame animation”
This will create the first frame of our gif. Leave it exactly as is and add another frame. Now, with your rain layer selected, use the move tool and press down the shift key to slightly lower the layer. Holding shift will make sure the layer only moves vertically.
You can repeat this for however many frames as you want, I like to just keep going until the rain layer is flush with the canvas (generally between 6-9 frames depending how fast I move it). Play with this, test it, and see how you like it best. Don’t forget to tick “Forever” for infinite looping, and then save for web. And taaa daaa:
The finished product. Hope this was clear enough :)
