~Remember when I did a Q&A and I did say that I get a lot of questions asking if I could teach them to write? Whether you do or don't it does happen, and I do get asked this a lot lately. Well, to be honest, I cannot teach someone to write, not because I can't physically explain a writing process, but because a writer's personal style needs to be seen in their own writing-without it, you're just an imitation! I personally believe everyone needs their own style, but I can give a few tips that I used when writing and practicing my new style.
You wanted tips, and here they are:
You wanted tips, and here they are:
- Abbreviations for words you can spell out such as your becoming 'ur,' or any form of 'text' speech, is gross. Do not even try that in anything, for any reason besides using your cell phone.
- Speaking of things belonging to someone, use the proper forms of words such as your and you're, or there, their, and they're. They make a hell of a difference, trust me.
- Using all dialogue is bad. I want to know where they are, what is the scenery like, how are they acting? It's all very important to set the mood-especially for fluff.
- Try to expand your vocabulary a little by using new words in place of basic ones. Instead of cute or pretty, say elegant or dazzling! They are much more preferable when reading.
- Use real life conversation. No one says someone's name at the end or beginning of each and every sentence. Be realistic.
- As a final note, realism is important. In lemons, fluff, and limes, I would not be a girl to just fall in love with a guy I first met or sleep with them either. Be realistic, and try to think of something more logical rather than jumping to cliche's. Plot is valuable!
~These are the few tips I can give about writing since my individual style follows most of these steps. I seldom do any of these things listed, and I hope if you do any of these things you realize that they just don't look very professional-though if you do, I'm sure your writing is wonderful <333
Schedule!
~Alright, let's explain my recent comeback. There are many reasons I left DA, BUT I do still like to keep up my writing and work on things so I decided to do a few favours for friends as far as posting things. There are a few requests on my schedule, but I cannot upload my smut here anymore </3
~Not that it's going to stop me from posting my smut, right? Of course not! I'll be posting fics with a story beforehand, and in the description will be the smutty portion of the story uploaded onto AO3 for your enjoyment. ^.~ I'm all about writing NSFW, and it angers me that DA has refused my work as well as others.
~Anyway, on my schedule is a R
I Have Moved
~Ok, let's start off by saying that I have shifted entirely to Tumblr because I cannot handle the overload of DA and Hetalia writing anymore. I like Hetalia, but I found a lot of series that interest me more and have sparked a deeper interest in writing for me. I prefer Bleach now more than anything honestly.
~Two, I moved to Tumblr now under many blog names where you can reach me easily and I am free to talk! I do still take writing requests, but only a few here and again to do with fandoms other than Bleach. I recently did a few for Homestuck as well. I have a few blogs for those who really want to reach me, and Facebook for some who do
DMMd Series Started!
~Eek, so a lot came up, and a lot of it may be sad, so I decided to write a series on a different site for a while. It is for the series Dramatical Murder, and for those who don't know it I leave a warning here that states it is explicit and has a lot of content people may dislike in it!
~Here's a link to it! I called it Fictionally Attractive.
~OK, but here's to the sad part of this journal that hurts me to say. My cat that we adopted just last year after school had ended passed away last week after his neutering. We don't know the real reason of death, but we think it is a combination of the vet giving him too many shots after taking us f
Work In Progress!
~Have no fear, Sweden is still here!
~She's just really busy with a lot of anime and a lot of manga reading! On the up side to things, I have not forgotten about Hetalia Undead, which is still a work in progress, as I stated it would be.
~The thing is, I have yet to figure out a good prologue that leads to the different routes you will be allowed to follow. I had an idea, but now it's like I'm drawing yet another blank. Ugh.
~I still do love ideas for anyone who has any since I try my best to work on these ideas with my helpful friends, but be reminded that the more I have to think the longer it will take to get posted and up.
