Roleplayers are looked down on as nerds or losers but actors are paid millions to roleplay someone else’s idea

Confession: Ethan Ramsey is not an old man. He’s literally only 37 years old. Can people relax about it?

Seriously though. 😂 I understand to someone in their teens 37 might seem old, but it’s really not once you hit your mid 20s. People regularly live to be like 90, 37 is nothing.

What y’all don’t understand is that calling Ethan an “old man” is a running joke in the community seeing the age difference between MC and him canonically. If y’all can’t even handle that then I don’t know what y’all can tbh.

Yeahhh... except even in various fanfics people will describe him as "elder" and "old" and not be doing it in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way, so in many cases it's not even said as a joke. Perhaps you should glance outside your bubble for a second and consider other people have seen or considered things you haven't.

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
