For anyone who doesn't live with children or watch cartoons on a regular basis, Nickelodeon went off the air for 8 minutes and 46 seconds today. During that time, instead of playing shows or commercials, there was a Nickelodeon orange background with scrolling and repeating messages about racial equality, the right to education, and the right to be safe from harm and hatred.

For those who aren't aware, as I wasn't until I googled it, 8 minutes and 46 seconds was the exact amount of time that George Floyd was pinned on the ground.

There's nothing subtle about this and I'm just. Shocked. In a good way of course, I've just never seen this sort of rallying behind a race-based social movement.

here have 10 pieces of writing advice that have stuck with me over the years

  1. every character’s first line should be an introduction to who they are as a person
  2. even if you only wrote one sentence on a really bad day, that’s still one sentence more than you had yesterday
  3. exercise restraint when using swear words and extra punctuation in order for them to pack a punch when you do use them
  4. if your characters have to kiss to show they’re in love, then they’re not in love
  5. make every scene interesting (or make every scene your favorite scene), otherwise your readers will be just as bored as you
  6. if you’re stuck on a scene, delete the last line you wrote and go in a different direction, or leave in brackets as placeholders
  7. don’t compare your first draft to published books that could be anywhere from 3rd to 103rd drafts
  8. i promise you the story you want to tell can fit into 100k words or less
  9. sometimes the book isn’t working because it’s not ready to be written or you’re not ready to write it yet; let it marinate for a bit so the idea can develop as you become a better writer
  10. a story written in chronological order takes a lot more discipline and is usually easier to understand than a story written with flashbacks

Writer: There Was Only One Bed…

Smut fans: *gasp!!!!!*

Writer: So They Spooned All Night And The Brooding One Allowed Themselves To Feel Vulnerable For The First Time In Years And The Chirpy One Got Some Quality Snuggles

Fluff fans: *GASP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Alternatively:

There was only one bed and so they lay there together, only inches apart physically but it may as well have been miles for neither could muster the courage to tell the other the true depth of their feelings and so they lay there sleepless in their mutual pining

Angst fans:

You are so goddamn right

Me: *driving*
Brain: and here’s some eloquent dialogue to go with it
Me: *at the grocery store*
Brain: remember that plot hole? fixed it.
Me: *in the shower*
Brain: you know that scene that’s been giving you hell? here’s three perfectly plotted ways for it to play out
Me: *actually sits down to write*
Brain: *dial tone*
