Lunara has quickly become one of my two favorite Tavs to see on this site, your art of her is adorable and often hilarious. I think my Lolthsworn Divination Wizard Tav, D'rylla, would be fascinated by her

REALLY???? AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU HAVE NOOOO IDEA HOW HAPPY THAT MAKES ME TO HEAR LOOOL ❤❤❤ best thing ever is hearing that my number one favorite oc can also be loved by other people it's such an honor IDFSHDIUFD <333

ALSO YESSSSS!!! I CAN JUST IMAGINE THE DYNAMIC BETWEEN THE TWO!!! lunara would be super weary cuz lolth-sworn but like... it adds flavor it adds drama don't worry about it HAHAHA also d'rylla is SUCH a cool name omg...

hey, i’ve read some of your writing and i really like it. do you have any tips?

aw dude that's really sweet. i'm really self conscious about everything i write so i appreciate hearing that. i'm still learning myself, so my advice is probably gonna be kind of obvious yet nebulous (much like my writing). oh and im not great at following my own advice, but we can ignore that.

first and foremost i'd say try to have fun. get weird with it. don't stress too much about it. it's supposed to be an enjoyable pastime, so write what YOU like, how you like. the "rules" of grammar and composition are helpful, but you're allowed to be a lot more lax with creative writing. i know i am 👀

in my humble opinion, you can never have too many details, even- or especially- oddly specific ones. personal experiences are a great way to inject some minutiae, and i enjoy the insight they provide into the author's perspective, background, thought process, etc.. there are infinite other tools at your disposal too. like the number of times i've found myself browsing ancient, niche forums just to confirm one insignificant bit of information is ridiculous.

don't be afraid to take your story as seriously or unseriously as you want. sometimes i'll be snapped out of focus with the thought of "am i really writing this rn" 😂 but i just try to remind myself that i'm (usually) having fun, i'm not hurting anyone and someone might even enjoy the final product.

for eene, try to listen to the voice acting as much as you watch the animation. and don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone when writing a character. i'm neither comfortable, nor very good at writing for ed, but i nutted up and gave it a shot recently and yeah it's nuclear level cringe but i suppose it can't get any worse, right? RIGHT???.... i love learning new words, so when i'm writing for edd (and in general) you know i keep that thesaurus tab open. with eddy, there's always room for more irreverence. i'm also one of those people that cannot help but drop almost every g when i write eddy. and it's just as important to get their idiolects down, which can be tricky. BUT that's mostly if your goal is to stay close to the source material, which is definitely not necessary. i'm just not a very creative person 😂

if you're in a rut, skip to another section, or hell even another chapter. the fic i'm working on rn was hatched from a simple premise several months ago, so i started at the end and have been building on that. an unconventional starting point can be really helpful when you're struggling to start at all. because i'm me, it's turned into a nightmare beast that i can't seem to contain, but i still have a general idea of where we're going and we'll get there eventually lmfao. to that point, outlines, bullet points, notes, etc. are all very useful.

take breaks, let her sit for a while. i'll write a whole bunch, leave, come back to review and be like girl what the hell is this. fresh eyes make a big difference! however, don't be like me and get too caught up in the weeds. i make compulsive little tweaks of my shit up to the point and even after i hit post. more often than not, it's more stress than it's worth. i just can't help it 🥴

and then of course, read other people's stuff. i'm not much of a fiction reader but i make exceptions for the sake of my hyper-fixation. it truly does help to see different perspectives and styles of writing. everyone has a unique voice that really comes through in creative writing, which i love. i've gleaned a lot from reading other people's work as well. i frequently come across new and creative ideas for changing up sentence structure, dialogue tags and narration by reading stuff from fellow fans.

aaaaaand yeah idk what else really. like i said, i'm not the best at writing but i think as long as you're getting your ideas across in the way that you want to, you're golden. anyone who makes shitty remarks about someone else's writing can sit and spin honestly.

Greetings!

I wanted to ask you if you could make a list or bibliography in which you recollected some unknown or least known information about Buster’s cinema and personal life! I am referring to interviews, books or links to anything you consider important and interesting.

I also wanted to tell you that I love this blog with all my heart, and please, take this optional request with as much time as you wish. Us, the followers, perfectly understand that we sometimes ask for difficult things and it requires lots of time and research. Once again, thank you for your work and take care and time!

Oh gosh, thank you so much for the message. That's very sweet of you to say. This is actually something that I have had on my mind for some time now. I've only done small things so far but eventually it's something I have a plan for. So I'm glad you have brought it up! (I actually hadn't told anyone yet) But! There is a very good website that has many of the things you're looking for, it is in Russian, so the translation can be a bit odd. It has a lot of articles, information about all of his silents, downloadable books and nice photos. https://busterkeaton.ru/ Well I was going to offer a google drive that I have but I just accidentally deleted a whole lot of stuff off it and have to add back to so.. If anyones interested they can message me, while I fix that...

two updates in one weekend? return of the king maybe?

i missed your writing so much, excited to see what you have planned :)

Thank you, I’ve missed being able to write. Right now I’m working on a lot of different stuff and there are a few other stories that have updates or intros just about ready to go so hopefully the long hiatus will have been worth it. Besides First Sight and PostLife Postdoc, Better Lucky than Good finally has a path forward, Spiralling has a chapter of its sequel done, and I’m poking at some other new works for Destiny and Stardew Valley. Lots of good stuff that I’m really hoping to get to work on.

All made possible because I’m trying some new stuff this year to make more time for personal projects like writing and so far it’s working out! ADHD is hard to manage. Who knew?
