Cautionary Narratives for the Inexperienced

A/N: Just bonding time with the Blasted Scorn crew before the real story starts. My research was kinda limited because there aren’t enough mythical creatures in the sea. I’d make up with one but even I can’t consider anything more scary than a siren or a kraken. Enjoy.^^

Word Count: 937

TW: talk about lethal creatures

“You’re telling us,” Eubha starts, keeping elbows on her sides. “There’s a ghost hiding under the sea?”

Not My Magical Destiny

Welcome one and all to my most recent self-created brainrot!! I have had this idea cooking for months and my creative writing class has given me the perfect avenue/inspiration for it. So, enjoy!

Kodi is a humble college student working at a bakery. Well, when their deferral is up they’ll be a student again. Their best friend Gabriel has been missing for a few weeks and Kodi has heard next to nothing from him, save one-word texts answering their messages. Finally, he shows up at the bakery, spouting tales of a magical world under their feet and above their head. He’s a key part of it in ways Kodi can barely stomach to think about; it would make them sick to their stomach if Gabe got hurt. 

How will Kodi deal with this revelation and the consequences of their best friend’s actions?

''Useless'' Writing Reminders

Save your documents. Strive to be safe, not sorry.

Back-up your documents. Strive to be safe, not sorry.

Placeholder names can quickly turn into forever names. Picking name(s) on a whim can lead to great things, or it can become your worst nightmare (😁).

Your writing has value. Yes, even the most inadequate of writing. You don't have to boast or even like everything you've ever written, but even the most questionable of writing will have contributed to your growth as a storyteller. Cherish it for what it is.

You can take a break. It is absolutely okay.

First drafts are scary. But you know what's more scary? Not having a draft at all.

Using clichés or ''overdone'' tropes will not kill your story. Firstly, tropes are building blocks. Secondly, humans actively search to consume stories revolving around these tropes.

Write your heart out. Boast about your writing. Boast about your friends' and fellow writers' writing. Everyone deserves recognition, even you, from within your own heart. (Sorry. That's really cheesy. But it's true).

The last three digits of your current follower count is the Dewey Decimal Classification subject on which you must immediately give a 15-minute presentation.

How would you do?
