Unconventional Writing Tips from My Many Years Of Serious™ Writing Experience

Write in bed. Just do it. It's cozy there.

Alternatively, write challenging scenes while standing up (i.e. with a standing desk or at a dresser).

You know that one tip about listening to Coconut Mall while doing schoolwork? Well, listen to Coconut Mall while writing on a deadline.

Run what you've written through text-to-speech (I usually just use Google Translate) so you don't have to read it aloud to check for mistakes.

Do personality quizzes in the POV of your characters, even silly Buzzfeed ones about which kind of pizza your personality represents.

For a story that takes place over a week or a month: make a timeline of what your MC does every day in the morning, afternoon, evening, and night. It helps put together those "missing pieces" in the narrative.

Make your characters in The Sims, as well as their houses.

Browse Subreddits related to themes in your story, or hobbies/interests of your characters.

Trouble in paradise #1: coming out

Might change the name who knows, anyway when the main project is too much and you can't handle working on it what do we do? start a side project of course!

Hi Zuuuu! I love your art a lot, and I'm having some troubles! I cannot draw a mouth to save my life! They all come out as sad lines, and I don't know how to improve that without drawing lips, and since your drawings usually don't have them (kinda hard with skeletons lol) I was wondering if you had any tips :3

Hii!╰(*´︶`*)╯

You don't need to draw lips in order to show a mouth ☆ Use curves and forms, add dimples on the cheeks, choose teeth or fangs, — feel free to experiment ♡

My dream was narrated by someone who praised me for tipping at a restaurant but said the next person would tip far more. I stuck around to see just how much. The guy just ordered a cup of ketchup and a bag of chips and tipped $151.

So fun fact~

Elden Ring does have a pause button (kinda)

Pull up your map

Press the button for “Help”

And select Menu Explanation,

Despite hearing the sounds of the overworld, everything is put on standby like the tutorial screens. If you are caught in a bind not near a grace site, and need to answer the door or do an errand, this keeps ya safe from disaster.

Granted if you are engaged in an enemy fight the map is disabled, but if you disengage far enough away you can pull it up and trigger the pause.

So, post the first “Dorothy meets Fiyero/ Scarecrow first AU,” I bring forth the continuation:

Scarecrow accidentally finds Ozma

Scarecrow and Dorothy are in Gilikin Country to find her food and hopefully find someone who can help him out in finding Dorothy a legitimate way home. They come across a small farm with no one really in sight but decide trying their luck is best. They knock and get greeted by a boy who appears to be Dorothy’s age. He’s a bit nervous but he’s warms up soon enough and introduces himself as Tip

Scarecrow: Heya, kiddo. Uuuh…any of your parents or guardians here?

Tip: Nope, you actually just missed my…guardian, Mombi. She won’t be here for a couple days now

Scarecrow: Uuuh….Okay. Is anyone here to watch you?

Tip: Nope. Just me. She sometimes brings me but I gotta stay as punishment for misbehaving

Cue the big red flags for Scarecrow as he’s come across yet another kid left by themselves. Tip kindly lets them in and he and Dorothy chat, appearing to be getting along already. Scarecrow is still concerned about Tip’s situation

Scarecrow: S-Say, Tip. You got any food to spare? We’ve been traveling and we don’t have much for Dorothy

Tip: Umm…Sorry, no. There’s not even much for me really

Scarecrow internally: Why didn’t the lady bring you then if you won’t be able eat for the next two days?!

Scarecrow: Geez…does this lady even like you?

Tip: Nope. She’s a pretty mean old woman. She expresses how annoying I am every day. To her, I’m pretty much just her servant and she’ll get angry if I don’t do chores how she liked it or try to do something fun instead. She even told me once she’d do better with me as a statue than a living boy

Scarecrow, internally:…Who gave this lady a child?!?!?!

Tip: Mr. Scarecrow?

Dorothy: You okay, Scarecrow?

Scarecrow: S-Say kid, ever had thoughts of just running away?

Tip: Yeah, of course. I have no place to really go to though and I don’t know anyone who won’t mind taking me in

Scarecrow: Well, congratulations. I’m that anyone. You’re coming with us. I ain’t leaving you here for that old lady to mistreat

Tip: Yay!

So Tip packs his things and meets them at the door but there are some strange letters poking out his bag as he makes sure he has everything. The scarecrow and girl notice

Dorothy: What’s all that, Tip!?

Tip: Just some old letters I found in Mombi’s room. Figured I’d take some things from her as payback and found em in her drawers. Figured I’d just take em too since they looked important since the drawer was locked

Scarecrow: May I have a look?

Tip: Sure

Scarecrow has a look and takes special notice that the Wizard appears to be the one who wrote them and the words he has written down…

“It’s a deal then”

“Just promise me you ‘ll keep her safe while in hiding”

“I’ll deliver the princess to you at midnight”

He remembers when he heard the news of the baby Princess of Oz going missing and never being found and starts to put pieces together, especially when looking back at Tip

Scarecrow: S-Say, Tip…how exactly did you end up with Mombi?

Tip: I dunno. I asked a bit before and she just said they couldn’t take care of me and gave me up as a baby

Scarecrow: Okay…has there ever been a girl in this house?

Tip: Nope. Just me and Mombi. Why?

Scarecrow: Just wanted to know

Scarecrow internally: Because this means only one thing!

And now Scarecrow not only has the girl from another realm who has his girlfriend’s sister’s shoes, but now has discovered what truly happened to the missing princess along with having the kid in his custody

Good luck with that, Fiyero. At least this’ll be a fun story to tell Elphaba

Ironic of me to make this after not posting for almost a month ... I'm still alive btw, I just don't really wanna post the stuff I've made

There's also a huge ask sitting in my askbox which I don't want to get into right now, but I'll answer it whenever I have the energy (sorry dear asker, it might take a while)

Have you ever offered memories? Maybe an old picture found while cleaning up of a trip you enjoyed, a loved one, or simply yourself as a kid! Or perhaps an old drawing, or an object (book/toy and the like) which sparks nostalgia. If you seek to deepen your connection with a God, this is a wonderfully fulfilling ritual to engage in. If it’s an object you’re getting rid of, why not put it up on your altar for a day or two? Share the memory with your God/Gods, and tell them about it before you let it go!
