One Of The Best Writing Advice I Have Gotten In All The Months I Have Been Writing Is "if You Can't Go

One of the best writing advice I have gotten in all the months I have been writing is "if you can't go anywhere from a sentence, the problem isn't in you, it's in the last sentence." and I'm mad because it works so well and barely anyone talks about it. If you're stuck at a line, go back. Backspace those last two lines and write it from another angle or take it to some other route. You're stuck because you thought up to that exact sentence and nothing after that. Well, delete that sentence, make your brain think because the dead end is gone. It has worked wonders for me for so long it's unreal

oh no now i have to make you talk about frogs somehow related to lotr... oh no... (faramir has a pet frog. it was a gift from pippin)

omg what a blessed image! let me expand!

faramir attempting to build a suitable tank for it following extremely suspect directions from pippin

faramir talking it for walks along the walls on a little black lead

he makes it a little scarf like pippins

it’s named pippin 2

when pippin says the reason he named his son faramir is bc faramir named his first child after him, never telling anyone about how it was a frog

when pippin 2 is in a croaking mood faramir will sit him in front of him and listen intently (it’s a really calming sound and our boy is rebuilding a kingdom he’s going to have stress)

but that also leads to people walking into his office while he stares intently at a frog sometimes nodding

hence the local rumour that faramir can understand frogs

eowyn definitely didn’t start that rumour

just truly bonkers how much i love lying down..........like being horizontal? unparalleled

LotR take of the night: Sam Gamgee and Denethor are seriously underanalyzed as thematic parallels/foils.

(And yes I know they never meet. That’s not relevant.)

I have a Theory (people who like Rings of Power are, generally speaking, not people who are into the Silmarillion and vice versa) and I want to see if it's true or not so
