THIS MAKES ME EXCITED FOR EVERYONE DOING NANAWRIMO.

okay, so I’m sure you guys have tried to do work but ended up “just checking” emails, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or trawling ao3 again, and so get no work done. Luckily, there are plenty of resources you can get to stop you doing this. (most of these require Chrome)

FUCKING NAME

FOR EVERYTHING

Writing or RPing a drunk character can be quite a difficult thing, especially if you’ve never been drunk yourself. I gathered these few links in case you’d need help with this -just like I did-. Hopefully this will help some of you, and you’ll be able to make your character drink, and keep it realistic!

Oh, and my little piece of advice on this: don’t try to slur the words! Just say ‘he was slurring his words’ or something to that effect - otherwise it becomes difficult to read and understand for the reader. Hopefully all of this helped some of you dearest writers!
