the best way to write is however ur little heart desires obviously but personally subjectively pettily i think that most of the time people would be better off just writing how they talk
#generally. the way u talk will sound correct in a way that sentences u write down and consciously try to make Correct or Fancy will not#the more complex and poetic u try to get with it the less good ur words r gonna sound#theyre gonna be Off bc u are not used to speaking that way and the grammar doesnt come naturally to u#also generally like. elevated language and whatever is like. theres a time and place? and when ur just getting started#its really hard to tell when is an appropriate time or place#protip tho the correct place is generally not an ao3 summary u wanna be plain as hell there#itll sound better and itll grab my attention personally which is obv your main concern always all the time#obv im speaking from a very particular perspective and experiences vary based on this n that#nd like.. grammars made up yknow. if ur words sound weird to me bc the grammars off that doesnt make the writing BAD#but in the exact same vein tho just bc the way u talk isnt grammatically perfect doesnt mean thats a BAD way to write at all!#far from it!#and i feel like thats a big part of why ppl dont just write how they talk is theyre like. well i dont talk correct i talk casual#and like sure but whats wrong with casual in writing? u can still convey a hell of a lot w casual#nd maybe its harder to convey what u want or to strike the right tone writing that way nd that's fair but like#dismissing that sort of writing style out of hand on the basis it isnt proper writing is so silly#when like i said originally it often sounds MUCH BETTER than going for a really formal poetic high fantasy or oldtimey kind of vibe yknow#anyway. end yell
