working on tiny worldbuilding/character details that probably won’t even make it into the story: 👌😍💯👁️

Whenever Americans use Cryillic like. That. I just. Instantly shrivel up an cry

Like idk how to tell you this but н isnt h and и isnt n

It’s true and you should say it.

Я isnt R
Р isnt P
В isnt B

If you want to explain, what does it mean then? 0.0

н makes n sound,и makes ee sound, я makes ya sound, р makes r sound, в makes v sound

Writers' Resolutions

A bunch of resolutions for writers and people who want to try writing this year. It's in no way something you must do, these are just ideas how you can set out to improve your writing in 2022.

Try something new

  • Try to write something you have never written before.
  • Write something silly, write something serious, write in a different genre, try to write characters that you haven't explored yet.

Write consistently

  • Writing consistently will not only give you exercise to become a better writer, it can also keep your voice as a writer consistent.
  • If you have a first draft, write it down quickly and without big breaks inbetween.

Don't wait for inspiration

  • Waiting for inspiration to come can take forever. So don't wait for inspiration: search for it.
  • Make writing into a habit that comes natural to you every day, look up writing prompts, read a book you like, get yourself into the mood to write and do it!

Do your research

  • As a writer, you need to know about a lot of different things.
  • You can do research by reading books, listening to podcasts, watching movies, talking to other people, etc.
  • Take this year to learn something new and then tell your reader all about it.

Edit that draft

  • We all have that one story we wrote a while ago and then stopped at the first draft.
  • Take it and reread it and then rewrite it. You have a new perspective on it now and maybe this will be the year you turn your idea into a book.

Set yourself a goal

  • This explicitly doesn't have to be a goal about how many words or pages you write.
  • Your goal can be to finish something, to edit something, to write a few sentences every day, to share more of your writing or to publish something.

Don't compare

  • Try not to compare your writing with that of someone else.
  • Writing is about finding your own voice and telling a story that only you can tell. Also: other people's accomplishes don't diminish your own!

Write!

  • Whatever the outcome of your writing may be and whatever you want to do with it, if you want to publish it, if you want to share it with friends, or if you want to keep it to yourself: just start writing!
  • Do what you love to do.

To all my lovely writers, I wish you a great year, may everything work out in your favour!

the first 2/3 of harrow the ninth are actually insane because it’s half a workplace comedy between gods that hate each other, half gaslighting you about a book you already read

palamedes wandering off for five minutes and blowing himself up trying to take down a lyctor solo and then harrow and ianthe being left unattended for like 10 minutes and immediately performing a fucking highly experimental brain surgery to undo sainthood is definitely all good material for gideon, corona, and camilla’s incoming joint powerpoint presentation:“Necromancers: Why They Should Not Be Left Alone For Literally Any Period Of Time

dragon age 4 legit aint coming out…at this point gta and skyrim modders will have to make the games out of the mods of dai or else nothin

Not trying to victim blame or anything but you’d think with all the times necromancers have tried/succeeded in raising undead armies the people of Tamriel would’ve stopped burying their dead fully armed and equipped for battle.

Like, I know your great grandpa’s sword was A Part Of Him and all but maybe you could bury SuperDeathblade somewhere not right next to SuperDeathbladeMan. Just in case.

oh, what, so he can get his ass kicked when he inevitably gets raised from the dead?? you want to make great grandpa into a loser? a chump?? if his corpse is going to be puppeteered into battle by a sick and twisted sorcerer then by the nine he is going to do it well
