Ways To Fit Character Development Into Your Story

I gotcha! Thank you for the reply!

How hard was it to set the tone and environment for your horror/thriller?

It wasn’t terribly difficult but it was also a nightmare I had one night so I kind of just channeled my fear from the nightmare into the work hahaha It did take a lot of edits though and watching lots of crime shows and horror movies definitely helped! I also tried to keep it fairly realistic cuz I feel like there’s nothing scarier than something happening in real life

This! I very much agree! I second it since I forgot to do my three. Also Kaitlyn almost died in book one. It is not an understatement to say that she has gone through some hell in her college years. I would argue she is one of the realest characters with her flaws and development.

The bracelet scene is one my favourites. I was tearing up right alongside Kaitlyn. 😢

FINAL DAY: QoTD

1.) What’s your favorite Kaitlyn chapter/scene?

2.) 3 things you love about kaitlyn and why?

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! (March 31)

Wow, I can personally relate to just about every single example. I am so happy to know I am not alone.

Auditory Processing Problems

• *someone says something* “what?” *repeats themselves* “sorry?” *repeats themselves again* “pardon?”

•"hey, y'see the red thing at the top of the shelf, will you get it?“ “Sorry, what?” “On the sh-” “oh yeah sure, I’ll get it.”

•*doesn’t hear teacher because someone’s pen is making a scratchy sound at the back of the room*

•*replays video 10 ten times to figure out what they’re saying*

•teachers asking, “why do you always stop writing in the middle of a sentence, just write down whatever I’m saying,” followed by the response, “I’m just processing it,” rebuked by, “we’ll stop processing it and just write.”

•*gets really focused on staring out the window and goes through four songs without hearing a single on*

A very useful demonstration of the importance of sentence length.

"I almost always topple over, when she always bends over, baby bring that bottom over, don’t make me run on over.

Baby why do I always fall for you, I just see that bottom behind you, and it seems to keep reminding me, just how much you mean to me.

So baby let me smack that ass, you must think I have balls of brass, when really I’m just hopelessly in love with you."

Ode to MC by Kaitlyn Liao

Day 5: QoTD

What song(s) reminds you of Kaitlyn? Or song(s) that you associate with your MC and Kaitlyn?

I actually don’t have one so tell me yours! :D

Reasons to Keep Writing

•everyone starts small. just because you’re not big now, doesn’t mean you’ll never be. and if you’re just starting out, keep in mind those bigger blogs have been writing for much longer than you. building a following takes time. 

•there will always be someone who enjoys your writing. every like, reblog, and comment is one person who enjoyed what you wrote and i can assure you they want more! and remember, not everyone remembers to leave evidence that they liked your writing or they might just be too nervous to interact with you. invisible fans exist, and you’ve got them.

•going along with that last one, your writing has the potential to help others! you could write about a minority, or maybe you could publish a little something comforting at the exact time someone else needs it. and most of the time, when you affect someone like this they’ll tell you, whether it be through tags, or a private message or whatever. that’s an amazing feeling.

•getting a compliment from someone becomes a sure-fire way to make your day better. nothing feels greater than seeing a comment from someone saying how much they love something you worked hard on. maybe write down these comments somewhere, so you can look at them when you’re feeling negative about your skills as a writer.  

•writer’s block is not the end of your writing career. it sure feels like it sometimes, but everyone, even the popular writers you look up to, suffer from writer’s block. everyone puts out work they’re not 100% satisfied with sometimes, and that’s okay! when you get out of this slump, your writing will be better than ever before and you’ll enjoy it again. keep writing through a block so you can get there sooner.

These are the things I think about when I feel bad about my writing, so I hope they can help someone else too.

ive been called out

Exactly. I am a little nervous...

If all the sexy diamond scenes in The Junior don’t take place in different locations of the apartment (the shower for one) I’m going to be very disappointed..
