Writer Rant - Tumblr Posts

9 months ago

People that make fun of someone else is writing need to get a laugh or maybe try writing something themselves and then comment.

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.

Sometimes I randomly get scared my work is being taken…again.

Im a very very small creator, I wouldn’t know. I only found last time bc I was more known(?) and had that account for years so someone inboxed me but starting over here, would anyone even know?

There's a tumblr post floating around somewhere that says "We think that if we get better at writing, it will someday stop sounding like we wrote it" or something along those lines.

Does anyone happen to have a link handy? I want to reference it in an advice post.

This happened to me when rewatching The Brave Little Toaster. The junkyard cars were and still are my favorite characters. The green pickup truck reminds me of my deceased grandfather. Plus they got more character development than the main characters didn't but got killed off way too early. In my opinion, if they had a few adventures with the MCs and had a family type of bond with them, then the fans would have been a bit more heartbroken, plus this could have meant more merch, and thus it would have been more successful as well as more fan content, and if they had a few memories and entire scenes of memories from their lives during that time before their deaths, and maybe one or two, maybe even three of them being rescued or hiding from the magnet they could have had little flashbacks if a similar event to the memory triggering said flashback, they could have had a more tearful farewell, and maybe even a few last words better than a song verse, or maybe even their verse could be sung during the flashback and they could have a last goodbye before their deaths such as for example the green pickup could sing his verse, and then he could have a goodbye along the lines of "I guess I must leave... It was nice getting to relive memories with my second family..." And him being carried off to his demise, small tears in his eyes, of maybe his headlights fogging like glasses do when you cry while wearing them. (maybe it's just me, but this always happens when I cry while wearing my glasses.) They could have been way more fleshed out as characters in general, which would have made the whole movie go from cheery to dark to cheery to sad to cheery, thus making it more emotional, and maybe even having the MCs become part of the family, and those who are spared at the end of the movie could have shown up in the sequels, such as the muscle car could be bought by Chris, or maybe even the wood-sided van and there could be more appearances, such as a reincarnated green pickup being the new car Rob and Chris bought and him remembering them and Kirby (if Kirby became basically his adopted son) getting emotional because of this and then throughout the sequels they meet reincarnated versions of the junkyard cars which would have made me happy because they are some of the best characters in the movie in my opinion.

Sorry about the tangent, it's just kinda me getting emotional and tossing an idea out there that I will write a fanfic based off of on its own blog dedicated specifically to it.

REAL

Like, bro, we’re not all furries, we’re just trying to make you have a better reading experience than

‘Yells’ and ‘says’

ALSO these terms are EXCELLENT characterization opportunities for showing the reader the relationship between characters

So, no, it’s not furry speak
