We need to compile a book of hozier songs and call it 'hymns by hozier' with tinted paper, ethereal art and fairies in the border.

I’m convinced that the ATLA fandom is just Abuela from Encanto: they put the original content on so high a pedestal that nothing can possibly be good enough to match it.

But that’s the thing, the live action series wasn’t TRYING to be this perfect match. It was its own thing while staying true to the core of the show that started it all.

This is yet another reminder that if you aren’t satisfied with the media you consume, perhaps it’s time to divert your hatred into the production of new content for people to enjoy?

I am not māori . I have been in love with the māori culture for years now (as well as its 'cousins', but for some reason this one stuck with me), hakas bring me to tears most of the time, and boy do I love listening to that language. I find that culture absolutely beautiful in every possible ways. I am actually currently trying to learn a few words on the Drops app.

Also, I am not a writer or anything, just like to write on my own free time, and I want my main character to be from that culture. I know a a thing or two about it, traditions, etc... from what I can find on māori websites, videos and content creators, but not much more really.

Here is how I see it: māori people use a lot of māori words in their daily life, although I don't know any that could be useful (how is "rā whakanui māmā" going to help), nature is very important in the culture (hence the gods representing different natural elements in the mythology), so I would include kinship with the land and the environment, i don't know a lot about traditions, but if there are any that are/can be done on a daily basis (even something small), I would also include it, as well as some traditional jewellery? (i am thinking of a hei tiki, or at least a pounamu jewellery) so thay can always have a piece of home with them (as the character would not be in Aotearoa). On top of giving the character a māori name and a moko along the way, those are the ideas I have, but I can't really put them into words, since I have no actual knowledge of any of it and even less knowledge about what it's like to be māori.

Please, someone, anyone, if you have any tips to accurately write a māori character, be my saviour.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Your Own Poetry Book

Shaina Tranquilino

November 5, 2023

Poetry, an expressive form of literature, has the power to captivate readers with its rhythmic verses and profound emotions. If you've always been fascinated by poetry and wish to compile your own collection into a poetry book, then this guide is for you! In this blog post, we will explore the step-by-step process of creating a poetry book that reflects your unique voice and experiences.

1. Find Your Inspiration: Every poet draws inspiration from different sources. It could be nature, personal experiences, relationships, or societal issues. Take time to reflect on what moves you emotionally and sparks your creativity. Explore various themes that resonate with you deeply and jot down ideas and potential poem titles as they come to mind.

2. Establish a Consistent Tone: Consider the overall tone you want your poetry book to convey - whether it is melancholic, reflective, uplifting, or raw and honest. Maintaining consistency in tone throughout the book will create a cohesive reading experience for your audience. Experiment with different poetic forms such as sonnets, haikus, or free verse to diversify the structure within your collection.

3. Drafting and Editing: Begin writing your poems by putting pen to paper or typing on a computer screen. Don't worry about perfection at this stage; let your thoughts flow freely without judgment. Once you have several drafts ready, revise them thoroughly for clarity, grammar errors, and coherence of ideas. Pay attention to word choice, rhythm, metaphors, and other literary devices that enhance the impact of each poem.

4. Organize Your Collection: Organizing your poems in a logical sequence is essential for creating a well-structured poetry book. Consider grouping poems according to themes or narratives that emerge naturally from your work. This arrangement helps readers connect with your writing on a deeper level while maintaining their interest throughout the book.

5. Seek Feedback: Share your poetry book with a trusted circle of friends, fellow poets, or writing groups. Constructive feedback can play a vital role in refining your work and identifying areas that require further improvement. Consider their suggestions while remaining true to your artistic vision.

6. Create a Compelling Title: A captivating title can attract potential readers instantly. It should reflect the essence of your poetry collection and pique curiosity about what lies within its pages. Experiment with different titles until you find one that encapsulates the mood and themes of your work.

7. Designing Your Book: Give careful thought to the visual presentation of your poetry book. Choose an appealing cover design that complements the style of your poems. Consider fonts, layout, and formatting options to enhance readability and create an aesthetically pleasing experience for readers.

8. Publishing Options: When it comes to publishing your poetry book, you have several options to consider. Traditional publishing involves finding a literary agent or submitting directly to publishers; however, this process may be time-consuming and competitive. Alternatively, self-publishing platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing or Lulu offer greater control over the publication process.

Writing a poetry book is an incredibly fulfilling creative endeavor that allows you to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences through verses that touch others' hearts. By following these steps - from finding inspiration to organizing and publishing - you'll be well on your way towards creating a remarkable poetry book that will resonate with readers for years to come. So pick up your pen, let imagination take flight, and embark on this beautiful journey of self-expression!

Writing Prompt

So this is just me throwing things out there, but imagine a two kingdoms, one light one dark, or just opposite things ya know (fire, ice) (historic and fairytale idk) and in between these two kingdoms is a sort of veil or clear wall so to say. The two kingdoms were always at war so the ancestors maybe witches put the wall up. A boy and a girl, (or bxb or whatever floats ur boat) each from diff kingdoms keep in mind, meet each other. They are like maybe 7? 10? They become best friends and eventually fall in love, but one day when they both turn thirteen, the boy comes back the wall but the girl never returns. The boy goes home and never comes back.

until

timeskip when they r like 20 now the ruler of the light kingdom (or whatever kingdom u decide) is standing on the hill with her army. And on the other side is the dark king (or whatever kingdom) with his army the two rulers ride their horses to meet in the middle just them. But when they see each other they realize it’s the little girl/little boy they met a long time ago. They end up talking, and when they kiss, the barrier breaks, and then idk what but yeah hope u like my idea

I wish I had the time and patience to write a book. Self publishing a book is a lot easier than I thought.

Let’s finish a novel/fic this 2024! ✨☘️🕯️

Apart from that primary goal of finishing a novel, here are some specific areas I want to work on:

Experiment with different writing styles, voices, perspectives and/or timelines within a short creation (short story or drabble). Aim to get a grasp of it's major components, its distinguishing factors.

Diversify character dialogue based on their educational background, where they grew up, whether they are introverted or extroverted, whether they ramble excitedly or cut their responses short.

Ive been craving to read a book about someone with an unhealthy obssession with their bestfriend or anyone and will do anything for them. But the person doesnt know that until one day that someone gains the courage to finally ask his desired one out. They accept until they slowly find out what they got into...
