You are a princess. Your evil witch stepmother turns you into a swan. Instead of running away to mope around in a lake and be beautifully tragic, you decide to stick around the palace and cause problems on purpose.

6 Quick Writing Exercises to Wake Up Your Imagination

We all hit those blah writing days. Your fingers are ready, your doc is open... and your brain goes static. That’s where writing exercises come in — small creative boosts to shake off the dust and get back into your story flow. Here are six to try when your words feel stuck in traffic.

1. The 5-Minute Word Sprint

Pick a random word (use a generator or close your eyes and point at a book), set a 5-minute timer, and write anything involving that word. No stopping, no deleting.

2. Dialogue Without Context

Write a short convo between two people. No descriptions. No setting. Just back-and-forth lines.

3. Rewrite a Scene in Another Genre

Take a scene from your current story and flip the genre. Drama becomes comedy. Fantasy becomes sci-fi. Romance becomes horror.

4. Describe a Place Using the Five Senses — No Sight Allowed

Can’t mention what anything looks like. Only sound, touch, smell, taste, and intuition.

5. Character Swap POVs

Write a paragraph from the POV of a side character reacting to your main character. Bonus if the POV is brutally honest or completely wrong.

6. One Line Story Hooks

Write 3 one-sentence story starters that make you want to keep writing. (Example: “I woke up married to my enemy, and worse — he knew it before I did.”)

You don’t need to write a masterpiece every day. But showing up — even for a silly exercise — keeps the creative part of your brain warmed up. Try one of these before your next writing session, and see where it takes you. 🍒

How to use Em Dash (—) and Semi Colon ( ; )

Since the ai accusations are still being thrown around, here's how i personally like to use these GASP ai telltales. 🦄✨

Em Dashes (—)

To emphasize a shift / action / thought.

They're accusing us—actually accusing us—of using AI.

To add drama.

They dismissed our skills as AI—didn't even think twice, the dimwits—and believed they were onto something.

To insert a sudden thought. Surely they wouldn't do that to us—would they?

To interrupt someone's speech. "Hey, please don't say that. I honed my craft through years of blood and tears—" "Shut up, prompter."

To interrupt someone's thoughts / insert a sudden event.

We're going to get those kudos. We're going to get those reblogs—

A chronically online Steve commented, “it sounds like ai, idk.”

Semi Colons ( ; )

To join two closely related independent sentences / connect ideas.

Not only ChatGPT is capable of correct punctuation; who do you think it learned from in the first place?

Ultimate pro tip: use them whenever the fuck you want. You don't owe anyone your creative process. 🌈

[eliza-writes-stuff]

Your story is still worth writing even if it veers off from what you planned originally.

It’s still worth writing even if you aren’t feeling it right now.

It’s still worth writing even if it’s fanfiction.

It’s still worth writing even if you don’t think anyone else would ever want to read it.

It’s still worth writing even if it doesn’t get published.

It’s still worth writing even if it doesn’t get adapted into a huge blockbuster movie.

It’s still worth writing even if you can’t have fancy illustrations at the beginning of chapters or a map of the world at the beginning.

It’s still worth writing even if someone you trusted told you to stop.

It’s still worth writing if you just rolled your eyes at me.

It’s still worth writing, SO WRITE IT.

What if everyone has a television of their own? All of them could have the same like Ant, Antenna, or Tenna! Mostly because they're not original. But every TV is different and has their own experiences. Love by others or abandoned into the garbage.

But what if they could be reborn? A chance in life to be remodel and hope someone will buy them? There's one lucky TV who finally got a second chance!

Basically, this is my interpretation of the Tennasona trend except it's my oc's TV and I can do whatever I want.

Showing 'Jealousy' in Writing

Eyes narrowing with a sharp, intense stare.

Clenched jaw and pursed lips.

Crossing arms defensively.

Making snide or sarcastic remarks.

Glancing repeatedly at the object of jealousy.

Trying to outdo or one-up the rival.

Faking a smile that doesn’t reach the eyes.

Speaking in a tense, clipped tone.

Avoiding eye contact with the person they’re jealous of.

Drumming fingers impatiently on a surface.

Feeling a burning sensation in the chest.

Sighing loudly or rolling their eyes.

Gritting teeth and taking deep, forced breaths.

Biting their lower lip hard.

Tapping foot incessantly.

Passive-aggressively commenting on the situation.

Mimicking or mocking the rival’s behavior.

Frequently changing the subject away from the rival.

Feeling a knot tighten in their stomach.

Casting resentful, sidelong glances.

[eliza-writes-stuff]

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Magic System Ideas

Magic is an inherent part of our fantasy novels, and often the most attractiv piece of setting.

Here's a list of different types of magic systems you may

01. ♫ Music-Based Magic

 an ancient song of summoning or a pied-piper type of hypnosis.

What if inanimate objects were a part of the musical process? Beyond just magical instruments, how do the surroundings, the acoustics, and the environment react to the music and the magic?

Does musical magic require years of study and practice? Or does it require natural talent? If only some songs are magical, how does that affect the world’s perception of musicians?

Just like music is often played with multiple instruments, in what ways could your magic be enhanced by a larger group or a specific number of musicians, such as a quartet? What if magical beings were needed to join in before the magic worked?

If a magical creature reacts aggressively to magical music when it hears it, how does that change your system?

02. 🎭 Culture-Base Magic

Magic is derived from culture.

How does the history of magic impact your user?

How is the cultural knowledge of magic passed down across generations?

Does it rquired cultural experiences, such as a pilgrimage?

How does this "magical culture system" interact with the government, religion or education?

If cultural norms are broken, how does it affect your magic?

Is a community of people required fr the magic to work?

03. 🎨 Art-Based Magic

If only some art is magical, what makes it magical? What happens to non-magical art and non-magical artists?

Does your magic require extremely specific forms of art or a specific medium?

If your magic requires a work of art, how does that art come to be? Who has access to it?

What if your hero is a starving artist?

What would a magical art museum be like? What would people be experiencing in such a place?

04. ⏳ Time-Based Magic

If you could create fire, but for only one minute a day and only at the same time every day, how would you use that ability? Now apply that to your magic system.

If a magical ability or magical energy is strongest at a specific time, what happens to the use of that ability?

If you cast a spell that only takes effect in 24 hours, how much planning would your character have to do to make sure that the spell was successful?

What if your magic system changed with age or changed over time?

05. 👗 Fashion-Based Magic

If your mage has to be well dressed for their magic to work, what happens if they have to use a spell inconspicuously?

If access to fashion is restricted, how does that affect your world and your magic?

If your main character has no sense of fashion, how does that change the way they interact with a fashion-obsessed world?

What spell effect would cause someone to change the way they are dressed?

If it is always visually obvious who is capable of which spells, how does that change magical conflicts?

06. ⚔️ Weapon-Based Magic

Legend-born magical swords, chakras and tridents: Excaliber, Riptide, etc.

Is there a condition for the user to become the "true owner" of the weapon/tool?

Does the magical weapon have it own "consciousness"?

Is there a cost for someone to claim the magcial weapon?

07. ⚗️ Science-Based Magic

Where magic must be theoretically researched and experimented in order to be developed.

Who is allowed to experiment with new, dangerou magic?

What facilities are required to development new magic spells/substances?

Are there different types of magic? If yes, how are they different from each other?

Is there an institution that professionally carried out magical research?

08. 🌑 Substance-Based Magic

Potions and magical foods, plasma, or pills.

Are there any consequences of intaking too much or too little?

Does the substance need to be stored/ingested in a particular way?

09. 🤝 Relationship-Based Magic

Where lovers, soul-bounded friends, families can wield speical magic.

Is there a bonding ritual for the magical power to be bestowed?

Do the people in this relationship have to be together for the power to work?

What happens to the other when one party dies?

Is there a way for this "relationship" to be reversed?

10. 🙏 Religion-Based Magic

This is where the gods grants magical powers based on a character's faith.

If gods grant powers, but they have been forgotten, what happens? What do the gods do?

How can multiple religions interact with the same magic system? How does this affect the ways your people use the magic and whatconflicts can arise from these differences?

Instead of the typical “forces of evil versus forces of light” trope, how could your religious magic system have contrast? What other forces and conflicts could be built around the religious system?

Combine your magic systems! That makes them that much more interesting :)

can you do one sided love dialogues? pleaseee and thank u 💕 love your page 💕

List of “return to sender: anything but my feelings” prompts

“The only thing I am to you is a shoulder to cry on, aren’t I?”

“You’ll always be out of reach from me, won’t you?” 

“The only thing you’re keeping guarded is your heart, and no matter what I do, I’m not the one who’s going to get access to it.”

“Will it ever be me?”

“I’m not asking for these feelings to be returned. I’m just asking you to understand that I’m in love with you and whatever you do isn’t going to make me stop.”

”I can respect you not liking me back, and I’m not trying to say you have to like me back in any way shape or form, but I’d really appreciate if you can respect my feelings for you.”

“…Do you know what I’d give to stop being in love with you?”

Character B, while looking at Character A, a sad glint in their eyes, says, “The person I like isn’t going to like me back. And frankly, I’m fine with that, because as long as I have them in my life then… That’s all I can really ask for.”

“I hate to be that person, but I really don’t think I can be just friends with you.”

“What did you wish for?” “Nothing but my heart back from someone who’s never going to see me the way I see them.”
