Hello everyone!!
You can call me Beatriz or Reb (he pronouns). Iโ€™m a Spanish illustrator and concept artist.
Here you will find: Ocs,mostly werewolves, vampires and furries. Sometimes I draw the same ocs in different Aus and settings.
I will open for commissions when I can and announce them.

Not on here much lately because I've entered the phase of getting my notes in order (SO many pages of them!) so I can write the 4th & final volume of my series.
Then it's on to writing the sucker, so I'll be on here even less, LOL.๐Ÿ˜
I'll eventually re-emerge when it's time to take a breather!

I use a balanced mix of the two. Because sometimes, using 'tell' on a scene would bog the book down with unneccesary info dumping via endless dialogue.
And my books are already waaaay long. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜•

The goal of writing a book is to entertain the reader. So if your jokes also serve to advance or enrich the plot, leave 'em in!

I've got a similar situation in my series with a character who relentlessly tags along after my MC. That character is a comic foil, their interactions providing a lot of the humor. But he also introduces/educates my MC about the new land he's in, teaches him about the magic he doesn't believe in. ๐Ÿ˜

Good general advice to follow, except when it comes to a scene-by-scene sequence where the payoff comes much later. But in that case, that scene way back when should do *something* to enrich the plot.

I also consider this 'plugging plot holes'. It's also a great resource for when you get stuck--reread your WIP to find little things/people/events that you can have come back to bite your MC in their butt later on as a BIG problem. ๐Ÿ˜

btw did you know you can subscribe to PBS for only like $5/mo or a $60 one-time for a year donation, and get access to their Passport streaming service? They mail you a little live programming guide and everything, too. The 40-something seasons of NOVA alone are worth it.

Poem title: At the Intersection
 
The poem is divided into two overlapping circles.
 
The left-hand circle is titled โ€˜meโ€™ and the text reads:
the day we
went out to have
an ice-cream, we said nothing
just let our silence melt in
the air as we walked across the common
our love never tiring at all
 
The right-hand circle is titled โ€˜youโ€™ and the text reads:
we should
have talked it over but
nothing ever seems to get
in your fat head. You are so
common that I wish weโ€™d never met
at all and Iโ€™d married Tim instead
 
In the intersection of the poem (where the two circles overlap), the text reads:
we
have
nothing
in
common
at all

The mathematician John Venn was born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, hereโ€™s a poem in the form of a Venn diagram.

Really is a quiet kind of despair seeing people I follow reposting news outlets that are ostensibly critical of Musk and his ilk which are illustrated by shitty AI slop. Just that slow erosion of our collective decision not to support it. "Well, okay but it's okay this time..."-ing us into oblivion.

You can go to your closest library to find safe space to write. You can write in a $3 notebook with a pen. You can bring a laptop and plug in. Libraries are quiet with niches where you won't be disturbed. You will also feel the support of all the novels around you.

If you get stuck, reread your WIP to find some minor thing/person and have it/them come back as a *big* problem that your MC & their friends have to deal with. ๐Ÿ˜

Two hummingbirds clad in fencing gear with their helmets under their arms/wings. Their beaks are clashing as if they were swords.

Hummingbirds are tiny, cute, and surprisingly territorial.

I think it's more acceptable when used in dialogue for characters in the present, because slang is fun!
Beyond that, you're risking someone reading your book in a few years and being pulled out of the narrative to laugh & cringe at how dated it is.

Love these, especially when I can come into a dialogue between characters right smack in the middle.
The trick is getting it to make sense. ๐Ÿ˜

I'll use L2 to introduce a character, but generally hover at L3 & L4 for established characters. I like to shift & get deeper (L5) into the Psychic Distance for more intense, emotional scenes.

This is great advice for finding the *true* start of your novel, but I also use it when switching scenes.
Especially if it puts Jason in a ridiculous situation. ๐Ÿ˜

Hey writers, check this out! I put together some writing resources you can use for inspiration, research and/or to help improve your craft. Not all of it might be what you need, but there should be something in there for everyone. Enjoy!
