"You didn't think I would save you?"

"I didn't think you would care."

"Of course I care. I've always cared."

If you were to write a short romantic story what would be your starting sentence?

Unrequited Love

I see you clear as day in front of me,

I want to make a move,

But you turn a blind eye when I feel so free,

I sink into a pond thinking I have something to prove,

I act like I have nothing to lose but hey there's always my dignity,

A hopeless romantic who's love is unrequited.

Feeling I'm the one with malignity,

You were always so uncommitted,

Looking through heart-shaped rose colored sunglasses blissfully.

Even though it's all in my head,

"I'm not the one who leaves"

It filled me with dread,

And now I have to pull down my sleeves

No because why don’t more people talk about this

This man has my whole art

The magical salesman

GAP the Series (episode 4 / 11)

i realize that i’m happy even though i shouldn’t be, and the conflicting emotion only makes the moment more insane, more radiant, more immeasurable

Tori: You Don't Live Here

Pink Mountain Dew<3

Liquidated hearts pouring deep,

As we fight the tiny urges of love,

Watching as it pools around and it seeps

Almost as if we want to watch the dove.

We yearn for things to stay the same

But the pink liquid already drained,

Standing watching them meander.

she’s such a gemini *:･ﾟ✧

show, don't tell:

anticipation - bouncing legs - darting eyes - breathing deeply - useless / mindless tasks - eyes on the clock - checking and re-checking

frustration - grumbling - heavy footsteps - hot flush - narrowed eyes - pointing fingers - pacing / stomping

sadness - eyes filling up with tears - blinking quickly - hiccuped breaths - face turned away - red / burning cheeks - short sentences with gulps

happiness - smiling / cheeks hurting - animated - chest hurts from laughing - rapid movements - eye contact - quick speaking

boredom - complaining - sighing - grumbling - pacing - leg bouncing - picking at nails

fear - quick heartbeat - shaking / clammy hands - pinching self - tuck away - closing eyes - clenched hands

disappointment - no eye contact - hard swallow - clenched hands - tears, occasionally - mhm-hmm

tiredness - spacing out - eyes closing - nodding head absently - long sighs - no eye contact - grim smile

confidence - prolonged eye contact - appreciates instead of apologizing - active listening - shoulders back - micro reactions

Straight out of the novel! <3

Game-Changing Sites for Writers

A recent search for a specific type of site to help me build new characters led me down a rabbit hole. Normally, that would make me much less productive, but I have found a treasure trove of websites for writers.

Bring Characters/Places to Life

There are a few different places you can use to create a picture of something entirely new. I love this site for making character pictures as references, instead of stock photos or whatever pops up on Google Images.

thispersondoesnotexist: every time you reload the page, this site generates a headshot of someone who doesn't exist. This is great if you're thinking about a character's personality or age and don't have specifics for their facial features yet.

Night Cafe: this is an AI art generator that takes your text prompt and generates an image for it. I tried it for various scenery, like "forest" or "cottage." It takes a minute for your requested photo to load, but no more than maybe five for the program to finish the picture.

Art Breeder: this website has endless images of people, places, and general things. Users can blend photos to create something new and curious visitors can browse/download those images without creating an account. (But if you do want to make an account to create your own, it's free!)

Find Random Places on Earth

You might prefer to set a story in a real-life environment so you can reference that place's weather, seasons, small-town vibe, or whatever you like. If that's the case, try:

MapCrunch: the homepage generates a new location each day and gives the location/GPS info in the top left of the screen. To see more images from previous days, hit "Gallery" in the top left.

Atlas Obscura: hover over or tap the "Places" tab, then hit "Random Place." A new page will load with a randomly generated location on the planet, provide a Google Maps link, and tell you a little bit about the place.

Random World Cities: this site makes randomly selected lists of global cities. Six appear for each search, although you'll have to look them up to find more information about each place. You can also use the site to have it select countries, US cities or US states too.

Vary Your Wording

Thesauruses are great, but these websites have some pretty cool perspectives on finding just the right words for stories.

Describing Words: tell this website which word you want to stop repeating and it will give you tons of alternative words that mean the same thing. It typically has way more options than other sites I use.

Reverse Dictionary: type what you need a word for in Reverse Dictionary's search box and it will give you tons of words that closely match what you want. It also lists the words in order of relevancy, starting with a word that most accurately describes what you typed. (There's also an option to get definitions for search results!)

Tip of My Tongue: this website is phenomenal. It lets you search for that word you can't quite place by a letter in it, the definition, what it sounds like, or even its scrambled letters. A long list of potential options will appear on the right side of the screen for every search.

Hope this helps when you need a hand during next writing session 💛

Azula: This is so unsatisfying. You’re not even sweating.

Zuko: It’s too easy. Someone needs to get on my back.

Katara: No one is going to-

Zuko: Sokka?

Sokka: Coming, strong man!
