Anybody know of any really good posts or blogs that teach about writing fighting scenes? I want to try my hand at more Kyle/Belinda fights but I have to get better at writing about fights first. I’ve personally never been in a physical altercation before so… Idk anything about fighting.

Thanks Poe 🙏🏻 💕🤧

Poe: “If you feel very passionate about it, you shouldn’t limit yourself. Of course, you could always fit in smaller works in-between… But never try to inhibit your creativity, it’s an author’s greatest tool.“

the struggle of planning a kinda important part of your story around something you thought was canon but found out was actually from another fanfic so now you've gotta figure something else out cause otherwise you're stealing ideas 😔😓

Yikes! Good luck, my friend!

Reasons you should continue writing

Because you love it

Because you want to write

Because you want to get better

Because you want to create something

Because you love your characters

Because you love your world, society, or whatever it is you love

Because you want to write a book

Because it’s fun

Because it’s a skill

Because you want to be a writer

Rejection letter I got from a literary agent today:

Just because your manuscript wasn’t what I was looking for at the moment doesn’t mean it’s not what other literary agents want. Don’t give up!

Me, through tears: Thank

Hot take: “I’m sure this work of fiction has artistic merit, but it does something that I’m sick to death of seeing, and I don’t want to consume it” is an entirely reasonable, valid position to have, and people don’t have to justify it beyond that.

a word of advice for my writer buddies that took me way too long to realize – your story doesn’t have grand to be great. Your dystopia doesn’t have to end with your protagonists changing the world, making it a great place. Your fantasy doesn’t have to end with your protagonist overthrowing the malevolent ruler. You don’t have to worry and fret over your plot not being too complicated, too large, too exciting. Sometimes less is more! If your character doesn’t end up saving the day for the rest of the world, that’s okay. They don’t need to. Succeeding in their own goal is just as good. You don’t need long, overarching plots that effect your entire universe in order to make a great story. You just need your passion and motivation- you just need to write

Guys, if you want to be a good artist and storyteller you need to absorb other media and influences beyond popular comics and movies and video games. Hell, even beyond visual art. Read novels, science articles, history books. Listen to podcasts, watch documentaries. Dip into different disciplines. Explore stuff outside your everyday. What you create and the pool of ideas you can pull out of is expanded by the knowledge you gain. Don’t do yourself a disservice by limiting your library. You never know when some weird shit you read about mushrooms could end up inspiring you or helping you solve a design/story problem.

Survive Said The Prophet | WIP INTRO

“There are as many who’d kill for information as there are those who’d commit murder for revenge.”

It was 1989 when a mysterious research facility closed its doors to the public; it was 1996 when those doors were blown, sky-high.

Looming from the edge of Yokohama’s doorstep, an explosion and a series of catastrophic events nearly wiped the city before suddenly, it all drew to an end. Although the military had written the incident off as “an error in protocol”; at the height of the Great War, such devastation could only be viewed as a terrorist attack. Following the aftermath and now wandering the streets were not only the ghosts of the survivors, but the brick and mortar of murmurs and conspiracies. Salvaged from the ruins became the bricks for Suribachi City, those that knew the truth soon lost their lives in neither grace nor glory, and the sole survivor from the research facility knew nothing about the unfortunate line of dominoes that had led to the event.

However, after the publication of a certain book and a series of disappearances nearly twenty years later, perhaps there was more to the story than one could overlook. For the tale to unfold, there were two survivors. One was a vessel for a minor god; the other needed no other credential than the ability coursing through his blood.
