#Let Me Help

[frogayyyy]

it's the ‘let me help’ of it all

[sad-trekkie-life]

The way Kirk’s voice is shaking during this scene. He looks like he holds back tears :( He already experiences grief from death of his brother and sister in law, witnessed how painful it was, and now his soulmate is also dying, and not only dying, he is suffering beyond comprehension, and still wants to help. You can almost hear his heart shattering when he hears once again how strong is the pain Spock feels, so strong, that Spock can’t maintain control. Jim looks like he will lose control soon as well.

Filler in Chapters?!

Want to add some filler between major events in your book but do not know how to go about it? I will try to help (while currently struggling with this at the moment... no I am definitely not ignoring this /sarcasm)

Think about the setting, what would make sense for the character/s to do?

Maybe introduce/foreshadow another character/s that will be important later on

Write something silly, give the character/s some breathing room before the next event

Have the characters bond over a shared something (or something one likes and the other does not)

Have the character/s reminisce about the previous events or their past

Could you set something up that will hurt/help the character/s down the road?

Write the aftermath of the major event, what happened to the character/s because of it?

Has there been a change in dynamics between characters?

Is there such a thing as too much filler?

Yes, it can be a little hard to judge at times when filler gets too dragged on. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself how long it has been since something important/major to the plot happened. It is mostly up to you to draw the line as to the timeline of events.

Extra Notes:

If while writing (this goes for any part of a book) you get stuck somewhere, try writing a part of the story that is not as hard for you to write. This gives your brain more time to process and come up with an idea for what should go into the empty space.

Sometimes it is better to either focus on something else or take a break. Make sure to take care of yourself :D

“Let Me Help (You Get Through Classic Lit)”

My piece for the AOSR Zine, 2023! @aosrenaissance

When you are dyslexic, a ‘stack of books with legs’ is a logical partner. Kirk thinks the most romantic sentence in the English language is "Let me help”, but Spock knows it is “Let me read to you”... even if he has a habit of falling asleep.

Kirk: "Let me help." A hundred years or so from now, I believe, a famous novelist will write a classic using that theme. He'll recommend those three words even over "I love you."

(The City on the Edge of Forever; Season 1 Episode 28)

deeply obsessed with this

I won’t stop talking about this- having someone just sit nearby helps me tackle otherwise impossible organizing tasks. I have no problem with washing dishes or running the vacuum, I’ll do that for any friend. I like hanging out with people, what do I care if we’re doing chores? I’ll help with yardwork as long as I get to complain.

“Oh boo hoo you shouldn’t ask your friends for favors we’re all adults”

I just spent three hours pulling up carpet and staples for a friend’s home renovation and we all did nothing but chat and joke and have wonderful conversation the whole time.

Helping somebody move or renovate or giving them a ride to the airport is functionally the same as going mini-golfing or playing a board game: it’s an activity that you do that is made more fun by having good company, and which provides something to talk about when the conversation lulls.
