Now that I know more about writing, I'm upset at all the writing advice that urged new writers to find the one best way to write stories, when they should be telling us to play with writing techniques like toys.

Don't tell us to avoid certain points of view! Don't box us into the one currently popular prose style! Let us play and see what effects different techniques achieve, so we can learn the best ways to make use of them! Give us a whole ton of possibility instead of one cookie-cutter template!

On Wednesday before I gave my presentation I confessed to a new employee that I was worried it would be too long and she brightly told me her life hack was to just let AI rewrite things for her. She said I should put in all my talking points and ask ChatGPT to give me a five minute exactly presentation. I was like....how is the most polite possible way (since this is a new colleague I shouldn't get off on the wrong foot with) that I can express that I will Not be taking this advice. Ever. I told her that I didn't think we were allowed to use ChatGPT at this job (we most certainly are not, it is a nightmare for any type of protected information) and also that I prefer to write all of my own work. Despite my best efforts the last part of that was still passive aggressive, lol.

Something about being a writer makes it so that it's almost offensive to me for someone to suggest I use AI to do my work instead? Like, the day I reach the point where I let AI write something for me is the day y'all need to be checking me for brain damage because clearly I'm losing it

Four stars because after stabbing a guy the butterfly knife wouldn't come out of his leg and I was forced to leave it there.

I love Higuruma. Not just because he’s so willing to help Yuuji and the others (and because he’s hot), but he’s a character with particular traits that I’ve appreciated throughout JJK. The constant adapting and learning that can be seen with Mahito, strengthening his own capabilities that aren’t inherently offensive or overwhelmingly powerful like Tengen with barriers or Nobara being Mahito’s natural enemy, etc. It’s not like there aren’t interesting aspects to characters that are overwhelmingly powerful like Sukuna or Gojo, but it’s gratifying to see characters who aren’t still find ways to make just as much of an impact and work with others to do so. It’s no wonder Sukuna admires him, while giving far less thought to characters that could arguably be considered more powerful or destructive.

one (1) dynamic from a show I watched when I was 12 is has a stronger grip on me than it has any right to, multiversal strength gorilla glue-ass grip.

bayverse setting isn’t conducive to Venus’ mysticism background so uhhh... i guess they argue fantasy vs sci fi genres? idk who would wear big naturals better, Gandalf or Magneto.

zombies, star wars, and star trek are neutral ground

Writers,

(that includes fanfic writers, hobbyists)

How do you include dialogue in another language, assuming all the character speak it, but not the reader?

More (not really necessary) details under cut, please answer me with reblogs or comments, you can also reblog even if you don't have an answer, for more visibility.

My story takes place in the french province of Québec ('ello there), but the story is in english, and so are most characters talking. However, i do wanna include french in some dialogue, because every bilingual québecer will easily switch between the two. I don't wanna do it too much, but only to add a touch of quebecism and make people understand that some characters have french as their first language. Some of my characters also have spanish as a first language and don't speak a lot of french

here's two dialogues example i got:

"Damn, she's so pretty." "She's gay." "Ouin, pis?" (Okay, so?)

"Bonjour, Alex. Je m'appelle Charlotte." (Hi Alex. My name is Charlotte) "They- They don't speak much French..." "You said they were bilingual!" "English and Spanish. Sorry."

"¿Qué diablos pasó ahí fuera? ¿Alguien te lastimó?" (What the hell happened to you? Did someone hurt you?) "Sí. Pero estoy bien, Anton. Solo tengo un- una- a concussion. I'll be okay." (Yes. But i'm fine, Anton. It's just a concussion.) "Y qué pasa con esto?" (And what about this?) "Me estas molestando" (You're annoying me.)

How to Conduct a Design Review Like a Pro

Design reviews are crucial for making sure that your project is on the right track. Whether you’re designing a website, an app, or any other visual project, having the right tools and strategies can make a big difference. Here’s a guide on how to conduct a design review effectively and why tools like ScreenRec can be game-changers.

Simple Steps to a Great Design Review

Set Clear Goals: Start by knowing what you want to achieve with your review. Are you looking at usability, the look and feel, or maybe how it works technically? Clear goals keep everyone focused.

Get the Right People Involved: Make sure everyone who needs to be there is part of the review. This could be designers, developers, project managers, and even clients. Different perspectives help catch different issues.

Use Feedback Forms: Structured feedback forms with specific questions can guide reviewers to give detailed and useful feedback. This makes it easier to address specific aspects of the design.

Regular Check-ins: Don’t wait too long between reviews. Regular check-ins help keep the project on track and make sure any issues are caught early.

Use the Best Tools: Tools like ScreenRec, Figma, and InVision can make the review process smoother. These tools help you share designs, gather feedback, and make sure everyone is on the same page.

Top Tools for Design Reviews

ScreenRec: ScreenRec is perfect for capturing and sharing detailed screen recordings and screenshots. You can annotate your screenshots and create detailed walkthroughs of your design. Its instant sharing feature with secure cloud links makes it great for remote reviews. Plus, it’s super easy to use and keeps your data secure.

Figma: Figma is awesome for collaborative design. Multiple people can work on the same file at the same time, and you can leave comments right on the design. It’s great for real-time feedback and edits.

InVision: InVision lets you create interactive prototypes and gather feedback with comments and annotations. It also has version control, so you can see all the changes made and make sure feedback is implemented.

Zeplin: Zeplin helps bridge the gap between designers and developers by providing detailed specs and assets. It ensures that the final product looks exactly like the design.

Slack: Slack can be integrated with your design tools to streamline communication and feedback. You can set up channels specifically for design reviews, making it easy to share updates and discuss feedback.

Skincare step 1: cleansers

Gentle cleansers are like a soothing hug for your skin, delicately washing away the day's impurities without stripping its natural oils. Incorporating a gentle cleanser into your skincare routine is essential for maintaining a healthy and radiant complexion. By choosing a mild formula, you're not only showing your skin some love but also ensuring that it stays balanced and nourished. So, embrace the tender touch of a gentle cleanser and let your skin glow with happiness

I personally have normal-sensitive skin so I choose to use gentle cleansers. I love Korean and Japanese skincare products, and I really enjoy the brand Cosrx I've used them for years and I've never had a bad experience with their products. I'll be doing more posts about in-depth and high-end products you can add to your skincare but for today my suggestions are basic but reliable cleansers

(I will be also doing an overall full-step skincare routine for glass skin as well as individual step-by-step posts soon💋 ) Direct links for all product recommendations are available on my pintrest located on my seriousskincare board
