i won't lie, there's been a certain level of both reassurance and self-consciousness in reading WIWV which is both that it makes me go, oh, maybe I don't need to think so hard or be so concerned about my placement of dialogue, or rather the way I tend to break it apart to go along with movement and so on and so forth -- and also that sometimes lately I do look at my WIPs and think about how fragmented into tiny paragraphs they are and how action-by-action, movement-by-movement they tend to be --

but of course, I'm not writing literary fiction, an I? 😂 I'm writing, essentially (whether fanfic or original) romance fiction and prose soap opera stuff eith some action, except for where some moments (mostly Kaine) veer vaguely upmarket haha

#arghwrites #this isn't a bad thing it's simply what I write but I know a lot of people don't break their paragraphs up nearly as much as I do #maybe this is a side effect of the fact that I sometimes struggle to keep my place in large blocks of text #a kind of self accomodation that then adjusts the aesthetic of the page on which i write #of course i also do lean occasionally prose poetic and visual structure and shape is relevant there #sometimes i need a line to be trailing a certain way or for a set of lines to form an angle #maybe I need to dig into some descriptive self indulgence more though #i worry sometimes that people may find it awkward the way i detail things out #but then again i think if you read it like you might hear a description in disco elysium it makes some more sense #the silicone baby spoon is part of setting the specific tone and existence etc. (not a silly example it's in a scene in hbhbhb on ao3)#read the paragraphs about kaine's thanksgiving as if the narrator from DE is reading it lmao #...man i wonder if he does audiobooks. not that i listen to audiobooks but i find his cadence very captivating #i know some people dislike his rhythm but i like it a lot. it makes everything feel a little bit revelatory.
