Writing advice from my uni teachers:

If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.

Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.

Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.

Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.

misc avery thoughts: having dr big squawks feels almost a do-over for how skeeter got treated…..today I gave him another shower and was briefly suprised to see that wet!doc squawks is very normal and doesn’t have a bunch of bald spots poking out due to malnutrion and severe feather picking

he’s gonna get to be so loved and (hopefully) never develop the same destructive habits skeeter did (constant screaming, feather plucking, going on dangerous horny floor adventures, etc)

i said i'd make these pins and i have! pride cats!! they arrived the other week just in time for last weekends convention! i love these little guys so much, and it's incredibly cool having my art in little pins. got them as charms because they were too big to get as pins, so gluing the pin backs was certainly an adventure though. got the wrong kind of pin backs, and had to order the right ones, so now i have a couple hundred spare pin backs that are. Not Great. If you want some you can get them at Galaxiaprince on etsy! or just show up to a con i'm going to be at- check out my pinned post! next one is animeleague birmingham anime and gaming con next weekend!

i'm not the best at singing. but i'm gonna sing anyway dude. i'm not the best at painting. but i'm still going to paint. my dancing will never see a stage. but it's perfect for early mornings in my bedroom and late nights with people i love. so what does this mean? it means that people are designed to do. not to be the best. just to do. if you're doing what you enjoy, then you don't have to be the best. you just have to enjoy it. you have to live.

They should make a "are you mad at me" that is taken neutrally and informationally every time and doesn't make everything worse when you ask it
