It's Almost Like Having A Stable Sense Of Self - Tumblr Posts

Steal my style! It's really easy:

> character driven to the point I'm no longer in charge of the plot, these people just do what they want and don't pay their taxes.

> long sentences with lots of 3 verbs rythms. All the three verbs rythm. Life is a dissertation and by god am I getting an A.

> where are we at in terms of plot and dramatic tension? Easy, just check out the weather. I just realised it's in all my stories, all the time. I'm writing glorified weather forecasts at this point.

>Imagine characters speaking in themost dramatic way possible. You got it? Good, now double it, here's your dialogue.

> Married to the comma, cheating on her with the em-dash, sexting with the parenthesis. Sometimes if we're lucky I remember periods exist.

> Colours, comparisons and metaphors, all the time. If I can't create an efficient image of the scene in your mind (and you don't have aphantasia) then I have failed as a writer. My dream is to write stories that imprint themselves into the reader's eyelids after they close their eyes.

> A small but statistically significant amount of monkey references.

> angst. This one isn't specific at all but it's a core component always.

> complicated relationships with love that can be twisted and damage and codependency and projecting issues on eachother and such a mess but it's still good. It's still there and it matters and it's good.

> gore/corpse imagery.

> literature/movie references. That's why I love writing Jason, he lets me get away with being as obnoxious with them as possible. It's so much fun!

I wonder what mine is. I could guess probably
