i think a lot of writers write themselves into impossible situations because they rely entirely on the narrative for tension, and narrative tension can never be completely resolved without it sounding like somebody is running a con

in fact, the only utility narrative tension has for the writer is in giving weight to the tension in the story’s structure; the goal of the writer is to convert narrative tension which is structurally entwined into narrative tension which is structurally free, at which point the story reaches its close

if you are going to have your protagonist have a life‐altering conversation, first of all you should stick it at the BEGINNING of the work

if you are a writer who is puzzling over how to end your story, and your great idea is to have your protagonist have a life‐altering conversation which changes their perspective and resolves all the tensions currently present in the narrative

stop, please, and don’t

it does not work

« As an example, if you have 1,000 motivated fans who would pay you $1,000 a year to purchase your music or your digital art, you’ve just earned a million dollars. » thanks but i don’t need NFTs to do that, i can just sell bath water

think i need to do better at remembering to tell the stories i actually want to tell

instead of getting sucked into bogs of shit i couldn’t care less about

or that i had more time

i wish writing didn't take so long

does the temperature being higher actually increase the amount of UV radiation output by the sun or are people just conflating those two for some reason

kind of girl who spends the weekend fucking off and playing pokémon

this is not the last gasp of a dying party it is the culmination of 40 years of wins

trying to explain to people that no, just because we got gay marriage recently does not mean that the republicans were on a losing streak before trump

it's like showing someone a chessboard and being like “how do i proceed from here” and getting back “well generally when playing chess you want to balance pressuring your opponent and defending your king”

you don't have to tell me about splitting up action with context i have an entire aesthetic theory and annotation symbology honed precisely at solving this exact problem i promise i'm aware

help i asked for writing advice and everybody is replying like i've never written a story before

if only they had more courage, like the democrats

kind of guy who thinks the reason why rightists are being so awful is because they are “scared” and not because they have attained power and are willing to use it

“i was not expecting this anime to be notable for its portrayal of cats”

nya nya nyan nya nya shogi

oh, i added another website to the EZINE💀💖EGIRL WebRing
