man wdk why maybe we're just pretentious and cranky right now but whenever people respond to common writing advice with "you can write whatever you want" it's like. yeah obviously. but the people who seek out writing advice and should care about it tend to be the people who need it.
not as in They're Bad but as in a large portion of people who write aspire to be published and to be published your work needs to be marketable and to be marketable you need to follow the rules, save if you deeply understand them and can break them in a manner which retains readability. we mean there's also self publishing but if you get any readers at all your reviews will suffer and as a result your sales will suffer.
there are some publications which take more experimental work but once again you need to understand the rules to break them. there's a big difference between "knowingly breaks rule for a specific purpose" and "makes a bunch of mistakes that will annoy readers at best" and it can be very easy to tell. sort of like the art style vs mistake thing. you can be aware when something is "wrong" but implement it in a way that makes sense and is cohesive with the rest of your work, and you can also just draw the thing wrong. it doesn't matter if you don't plan to do shit with your art so make as many fuck ups as you want but if you aspire to get a job with it then sorry man you're out of luck.
maybe we're just unsympathetic too wdk. cuz apparently people need reminders they can suck shit. you can suck shit 👍 does not change anything about writing advice though or make it less valid in the grand scheme of things.

WWW: What's the "reflexive indicative"?
I've been meaning to write this for a while, but I wasn't sure what it really meant and now I have a theory. I am a professional linguist. I teach translation, so grammar/syntax is something I have spent a lot of time on.
Now, brace yourselves, because I'm going to be explaining modern English grammar and most schools in the English-speaking world are still teaching traditional grammar. I don't know how well versed BLeeM is in modern grammar, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Let's start with the basics. Indicative is a grammatical mood. Moods effect the reality or truth of a clause. The indicative mood is one of the realis moods, meaning that the clause is true in the tense. (Irrealis moods can make the clause possible, hypothetical, desired, etc.) The other realis mood in English is declarative. The difference is that a declarative clause uses a verb as its predicate and an indicative clause uses a noun or adjective as its predicate.
In modern grammar, the predicate is the word or phrase with the most important meaning. To put it another way, the predicate is the word or phrase that the rest of the sentence "depends" on (see: Parse Tree). So, "I am running" is declarative and "There is a shotgun in the drawer" is indicative.
Whatever magic's "reflexive indicative" is, it's roughly equivalent to "a thing exists" or "a thing is [adjective]".
Next, reflexive is term used in grammar to refer to anaphoric nouns. An anaphor is a word that refers back to another word or concept. In "we climbed a mountain and said mountain was tall", the participial adjective 'said' marks the following noun as an anaphor. Anaphoric nouns are usually analyzed as pronouns; e.g. "itself". Some English pronouns are only sometimes reflexive, like "that".
This means that the "reflexive indicative" has to be a couple things. First, we know it's somatic, so sign language basically. Second, it's a full clause. One gesture for a full clause isn't difficult. In many languages, there are verbs that do not need any nouns to be satisfied. Consider: "It is raining". 'It' is a dummy pronoun; it doesn't mean anything. In ASL, it is a single gesture. However, a reflexive indicative clause must have a noun. In short, the somatic gesture most likely means "a thing mentioned before exists".
My theory is that the reflexive indicative is used as a kind of anchor. It may be a conjunction between two magical actions: "Control the edges of the tear. Those edges are there. Bring them together." It might also be used as punctuation to end an action: "Bring the edges of the tear together. That tear does not exist." or "Connect the edges of the fabric. That fabric is whole."
If this is true, I would theorize that early in the development of wizardry, the reflexive indicative was used either 1) to assist the wizard in their focus (assuming that WWW's magic is the manifestation of will) or 2) doing magic this way was so new that it was "low context". Low context communication involves a lot of specifics and reflexive nouns are more frequent in low than high context communication. Insulated communication systems tend to become higher context over time.
Brennan mentioned that the more people who know a particular spell, the less potent it becomes; hence the Citadel tightly controlling who has access to spells. However, more people knowing a spell might also increase the level of context the spell has, thus making the reflexive indicative unnecessary.
This would make even more sense if magic was always an interaction with the spirit world. Whatever spirit is making Mending possible has become so familiar with it that the reflexive indicative is understood.
But at this point, we are into untethered speculation. That's the theory. We'll see what info Brennan drips out next and if my theory holds up.

Do you have a beta reader, and as a writer, do you need one in order for your work to be good? Also, as a writer, how do you know if you're doing enough to finally feel good enough with whatever you're trying to work on?
Do you have a beta reader?
Not at the moment, no. I had a beta for a total of one fic I wrote in December 2022. Everything else has been done on my own. You can probably tell because of all the grammatical errors.
Do you need one in order for your work to be good?
If you're asking on behalf on yourself, I will say that you don't NEED one, but I'd definitely recommend it. If you're referring to writing fanfics and you don't have anybody available to beta for you, then there's no harm in posting them without it. As I said, I do it all the time. BUT if you do have somebody who's willing, then yes, absolutely accept their help. Having a second pair of eyes to catch all the little mistakes helps a ton. Their assistance and corrections will also help you learn, and your work will get better as you go along.
If you're talking about, like, writing original fiction that you're hoping to publish, then it's a little less casual than fanfic. If that's the case, yes, try to find an editor.
If you're asking about me personally, then I'd say that I probably WOULD be a lot better at writing if I had one. As I said, grammar and linguistics are my weak points. My stuff would also be way neater and more polished if I had a beta who was given more creative liberties. For the one fic I wrote that was beta-ed, their job was mostly to comb through these big fat paragraphs and add commas, remove commas, etc. They made a few suggestions about rewording some of my sentences, but they also recognized that I was a lunatic who was very particular about the way I phrased things for whatever reason so they mostly focused on the grammar and punctuation.
If I had a beta that I gave full reign to do whatever they wanted, my work would probably improve by tenfold. Shorter, more straightforward, probably more impactful, less rambly. But my stuff is exhausting to deal with from an editing perspective. Massive and wordy and all over the place. I really could not expect somebody to spend their valuable time wrestling with all of that for free.
So I'm fine tipping along in my usual rambly way at the moment.
How do you know if you're doing enough to finally feel good enough with whatever you're trying to work on?
Well, there's no such thing as being "good enough" to make anything. I write for fun. It's not my job. I have nothing to lose.
I'm still learning. And I think I still have a long way to go. It's okay if I'm bad at it in the mean time.
Everything I write and post is just an example of me practising. Trying to figure out what works. What doesn't work. My writing is always getting better, then worse, then better, then worse again, in a constant cycle, but as long as I'm practising, I'm learning.
Don't burn yourself out. Write little bits at a time if you have to. Don't be scared that your idea is too ambitious for your skill level. Write it in your own way, even if you don't feel like you can pull it off. By doing that, you'll steadily get better. And if you want to rewrite it again in a few years when you finally feel like you have the skills to excecute it in the way you want, then you can always do that.
Even if you don't feel good enough for your own standards, you improve a little bit every time you work on something. That's what's matters.
I find it comforting to focus on the fact that I'm still learning, rather than the fact that I'm still not as good as I think I should be.
I don't think any of us will ever be "good enough" in our own minds. We'll never see ourselves as masters. It's an unattainable goal. But so long as we keep letting ourselves write "badly" we'll probably write a few masterpieces in the process.

OHH FUCK!!! THANKS @greynoceur FOR TAGGING ME. This is my first time interacting this way. So, there's going to be a lot of grammar and punctuation mistakes but whatever.
That One Fuck: MY BELOVED KAGEYAMA TOBIO. The reason---from the first moment l laid my eyes on him l knew he was gonna get misunderstood both by in universe characters and the people from HQ fandom.
Fav Romantic Ship: l love all my founding fathers of volleyball yaoi but KAGEHINA is closer to heart.
Fav Friendship: I'd say BAKUTO & KUROO. This 🐈& 🦉 duo made me laugh so much, l had to watch Tokyo traning camp arc two times the first time around.
Underrated Character: hmm. That would be UKAI KAISHIN, Karasuno's couch. I'm going to be honest here, l didn't pay much attention to him the first time he was introduced.
I noticed how other team's couches were giving their opinion of the players, their steagth and weakness during practice and official matches and thought why isn't he giving any insight. Then, it hit me that he was young and inexperienced compared to those other couches who were way older then him and even had assistants. And he even gave some fantastic ideas to Kags about how to use their strength to Max efficiency, e.g. the falling toss or dropping toss or whatever it's called.
(PS: I know this 👆 was obvious but the first time I watched HQ that was 9-10 years ago and I was young and stupid.)
Underrated Relationship: So, l have both platonic and romantic. PLATONIC would be HOSHIUMI & HIRUGAMI. I don't think fandom explore this dynamic enough or at all. I haven't seen any take on them aside from romantic. Another is ADLERS TRIO. there are so many MSBY road trip AU but not even one about ADLERS as far as l have seen.
ROMANTIC would be USHIJIMA & SAKUSA bc l had an UshiSaku fever and the image of them cuddling and being cosy on couch while reading an ad about new vacuum-cleaner with such seriousness and fascination was to cute to resist.
A Random HQ Headcanon: Basically this twit--- kageyama is so blunt when he figured out he was in love with hinata he probably was like “i’m in love with you by the way” mid set in the middle of practice. and when hinata stares at him dumbfounded he’s just like “u good? 🤨 u gonna hit this toss or what?”
This fic perfectly nails this hc without compromising their canon characterization so now I wholeheartedly believe in this. This is canon to me.
(PS: am l trying to lure people into reading this fic bc it's one of my favourites? Well...👀)
I'm new to the Tumblr community. So I don't have a lot of mutuals but I only know you guys so I'm tagging you here. @yuliapavlovsky and @thebokuakastan and @abcwordsurge if you guys feel like it you're free to add.

Haikyuu!! ask game ♡

AI Bots - Are They Problematic and Should I Use Them?
With all of the uproar going on with Artificial Intelligence having the capabilities of scraping various fanfiction sites (AO3) as well as artwork sites (DeviantArt) and plagiarizing them, I wanted to give my two cents on whether or not it's okay to even use AI sites or AI programs or AI chatbots.
Some of the most iconic programs, sites, and chatbots include Cleverbot, Grammarly, Notion, and ChatGPT. Everyone has used Cleverbot at one point or another for laughs and seeing what nonsense it'll come up with. Grammarly is great when it comes to ... well ... grammar. Notion is unique in the sense that it's a writing document app with an AI built into it (and you can actually use Grammarly along with it). Which leaves us with none other than ... ... ... ... ... ChatGPT.
AIs like ChatGPT (and Dall-E) are nothing short of problematic because there are ways for people to scrape various websites. This is problematic because not only do they invade privacy but also tends to more or less take bits and pieces, if not all, of people's works (be it written, drawn, both, neither, etc.). Another problem with using AI bots is that there are a lot of people who use them to write their essays and creative assignments for school (especially college). This is incredibly problematic for a couple of reasons.
It can be taken as (and assumed that) the students were being lazy and aren't learning anything. It's like what this article on Scribber says, "Not doing the work yourself is academically dishonest, undermines your learning, and is unfair to other students."
It can, and perhaps will, cause problems later on down the road. The reason for this is because we all have a distinct voice and way we phrase things. And this is true when it comes to not only writing stories and drawing art but doing essays, art projects, and what have you.
AIs are slowly, but surely, making people lose their jobs. There are fast food restaurants and movie theaters that are already using AI machines and are somewhat in the process of hiring fewer people than before. We also have those who are in the art industry (mainly writers and drawers) who are in constant fear of losing their jobs because of AI. Doesn't help that we, the artists, aren't taken seriously as it is hence there being a Writers Strike.
Now me bringing up these three major points doesn't necessarily mean that I'm anti-AI. I'm anti-plagiarism and anti-scraping. I'm also perfectly fine with people who are disabled and are in need of using AI bots (or a program) to assist them. That's why we have programs such as Grammarly, Hemmingway App, Notion, Google Translate, and DeepL. They help us get a general idea of how to phrase, word, punctuate, and even translate things. They might not always be 100% accurate or reliable but they are there.
So, at the end of the day, it all really boils down to what you're using AI bots for. Using it because you want to improve on your grammar, spelling, and punctuation? That's okay. Using it to write your whole entire five page essay? That's not okay. Using it for research purposes like briefly explaining the similarities and differences between Thor and Raijin? That's okay. Using it to write a whole ass fanfic for you? That's not okay. Using it because you have a disability and need a voice (or whatever the case may be)? That's okay. Using it as your sole resource for research, translation, and whatnot followed by saying "AI bots are flawless, you're just jealous."? That's not okay.
So with all of that being said, AI works aren't exactly transformative, original, or creative. It's amusing as hell to see kind of shenaningans and malarkey will pop out when asking for a fanfic of a specific pairing, sure, but I wouldn't post any of it online because it's not my cup of tea. Something else to keep in mind is that, like us humans, AIs tend to make mistakes. And last, but not least, keep in mind that many of them genuinely don't care about our privacy. You can use the argument that most websites don't, and I wholeheartedly agree with you, but the point still stands.
Either way, I think it all ultimately depends on the situation for what is and isn't okay in terms of AI usage. The same is equally true on personal preferences and opinions.

Identifying Harmful Repetition in Your Writing
Something I’ve encountered ad nauseam over the last few projects I’ve edited is a relentless repetition of words, phrases, and ideas. One of the most frustrating and confidence-destroying issues a reader can encounter is poorly executed repetition, which can stem from different problems, including:
Too much reliance on your natural stock phrases.
Limited vocabulary.
Not proofreading close enough or editing thoroughly enough.
Lack of confidence.
Not writing with the reader in mind.
I want to preface this with the fact that obviously certain types of repetition aren’t bad. Repetition is an incredibly powerful tool when used effectively, and what’s effective is subjective per book and per reader. That’s a massive topic for another time. This post is specifically about egregious uses of repetition, the types that any good editor or beta reader will point out as in need of fixing.
Stock Phrases and Words
Every person has their own unique lexicon, a repository of words and phrases they naturally will draw upon when they speak, write, and even think. There’s a reason clichés are prevalent, and that’s because the brain likes the path of least resistance. It’s easy to mentally grab those words and phrases that are constantly in arm’s reach, those words and phrases that are comfortable and familiar, but constantly doing this while writing and then not changing them can result in overuse that is noticeable on both stylistic and technical levels. It can also lead a reader to the understanding that you haven’t thought critically about what you’re writing, which can and will undermine their confidence in you.
If you’re writing a first draft, don’t worry about this too much. You probably just need to focus on putting words down, not exactly what those words are. Repetition is an issue that can and should be intentionally fixed during the revision process.
If this is a problem that bugs you even when you’re drafting, there are different ways of dealing with it. I tend to be highly aware of most repetition within my work, and because I constantly edit as I write, backtracking to add/move information as I go doesn’t tend to interrupt my workflow too much. If I know I’ve already used a word and can’t think of something better after several seconds’ thought, I’ll use the repetition and immediately flag it somehow—usually with a “repeat” comment—so I can deal with it once I’ve completed the draft. Opening a thesaurus or dictionary tends to be more disruptive during drafting than it’s worth, but sometimes it isn’t, and you will need to determine what works best for you according to your own style.
Once you’re ready to target the issue of repetition, you will need to work hard, think hard. Don’t settle for the easy word, the stock phrase, the cliché. Discard the timeworn, the tired, the used-before. Play with language—try to come up with new phrases, unique descriptions. Get silly, flip rocks over, dig around under them, push things as far as you need to create something different, then go back and edit again, refining what you’ve written until you’re satisfied.
It’s going to be a process. It’s going to be difficult. It won’t be natural at first; you’ll need to form new pathways in your brain, just like when you learn any new skill, and that’s uncomfortable, but if you persist, your writing will be fresh and alive and won’t be as prone to being bogged down by reader-infuriating repetition.
Limited Vocabulary
Tying into the idea of your personal lexicon is the size of it. No matter how much you pay attention to precisely what words or phrases you’re using, you won’t have much in the way of options if you don’t have at least a good-sized repertoire to draw from.
Increasing your lexicon is something that just takes dedication and time. You can’t rush it, you can’t force it, but you can be deliberate in growing it. Read broadly, maybe bookmark or sign up for your favorite dictionary’s word of the day, or keep a word cache of interesting words or phrases you like.* I have a document titled “word hoard” in Dropbox where I keep all unusual, unfamiliar, or beautiful words I encounter as well as their function(s) and definitions. Most of these words haven’t properly entered my own lexicon yet, but actively being aware of words that are anywhere from slightly to completely outside what you usually use will help you become a more mindful writer.
* I got this idea from Barbara Baig’s Spellbinding Sentences, which is one of my favorite books I’ve ever read on writing.
Lack of Proofreading/Editing
The identification and elimination of repetition hovers somewhere between content editing and technical editing. It’s an easy problem to skim over, especially when you’re the writer because you’re likely too familiar with every word you’ve put down, and issues like this tend to fade into the background. This is particularly true of writers who have reworded or reorganized a given piece of writing, since repetition can easily become lost in the jumble.
If possible, set your project aside for at least a few days—preferably a few weeks or even longer—then come back to it and read it with fresh eyes while intentionally noting and commenting on or highlighting all uses of repetition, big and small. If you aren’t sure if it’s something you repeated, flag it anyway—you can always check later.
If you don’t have time to set the project aside for a while, read your work aloud. If you can’t bear reading your work aloud or you aren’t able due to circumstances, listen to the document instead. Word has a read aloud function, and there are many online text-to-speech websites where you can paste a piece of writing. The unnatural cadence of the artificial voice might be weird and awkward at first, but listening won’t fully engage the “reading” portion of your brain, and you’ll likely find it easier to notice uses of repetition, among other problems. While writing this post, I have listened through it three times, tweaking phrasing and eliminating repetition—and deleting some of the harsher statements—as I go.
If you’re feeling really brave, have another person read your writing back at you. Nothing like being uncomfortably hyperaware of every word you’ve put down to recognize pretty much every single problem within your work. Just do not overcompensate and decide that nothing you’ve written has any value at all (it does), or that you’ll need to change everything (you don’t). If you approach this method with the understanding that it’s going to be awkward but are nevertheless determined to get something useful out of it, you’ll benefit, especially if your reading partner is willing to help you with any areas you feel you need assistance in.
When editing for repetition, if possible, pay attention not only to noun/verb/adjective usage. Go deeper. What types of repetition are you prone to using? Do you begin a significant portion of your sentences with conjunctions? Are there certain conjunctions you use more frequently than others? Do you reiterate entire sentences two or more times with only slight variations in wording? Do you return to the same idea numerous times? What about tone, do you use lots of rhetorical questions? Sarcasm? Self-deprecation? Self-boasting? Do you frequently return to the same imagery or settings or use of metaphor? Or grammar—are there certain punctuation marks or grammatical conventions you use more than others? Do you have a sentence construction you consistently fall back on?
Again, some of these questions might require an outside opinion for you to find suitable answers, but becoming self-aware of not just what you do but why you do will help you recognize these patterns, which in turn can help you mentally eliminate repetition before it even makes it past your fingertips.
Lack of Confidence
Widespread repetition of sentences and ideas is often a major symptom of a writer who isn’t confident in their abilities to communicate what they’re talking about. “If I just tell you this fact again, surely you’ll believe me this time. I’ll make you believe me. Do you believe me now? What about now? Now? Now?”
The painful truth is... no.
Encountering mindless or fear-based repetition is extremely frustrating for readers. Inevitably, without fail, every single time I edit a book by a writer who has repeated themselves over and over and over again, with every single repetition, I increasingly doubt both their credibility and their ability to pass on important knowledge to me. I feel either patronized and insulted, or I feel annoyed because it seems like the author threw their thoughts down on paper in whatever order they came out and then hit publish with
no regard for how those thoughts will be perceived by others, and
no regard for how they are wasting the reader’s time.
Please, please do not undermine your credibility by repeating yourself. Readers usually only need to read information one time for them to absorb it, maybe twice, so trust your readers. If the reader needs to come back to information, they have that ability. Do not force unnecessary repetition in their faces. Always assume readers are at least as smart as you. If you don’t need the information repeated, give your readers the same respect.
Increasing your writing confidence will once again take time and effort. You’ll need to determine why you’re not confident and then seek out methods of correcting the issue(s). In general, fear of not being heard or understood tends to be the underlying cause of repetition, so learn how to be deliberate in your writing. Say what you mean to say. Say exactly what you mean to say. Understand that you have something important to share with the world, so share it—then stop. Readers will appreciate you for not wasting their time.
 Writing for Yourself
Yesterday I finished editing a project just over 88,000 words. Nineteen chapters. Almost 250 pages.
I hated every word, and I learned nothing.
If it had been a line edit, I could’ve cut the book’s word count down below 50K merely by eliminating all of the repetition. This author is infatuated with the sound of their own voice, talked on and on and on merely to hear their own self-revelations and how special they are compared to everyone else stated again and again in near-identical sentences.
I’m editing another book right now that is less self-important and is far more interesting on the whole (and is thankfully over a hundred pages shorter), but again, the author has repeated themselves sometimes three or four or five times, with some phrases appearing over fifteen times, and I can feel my resentment growing. If an author isn’t going to take the time to put forth a thoughtfully crafted piece of writing, why should a reader likewise invest in it?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with writing for yourself. You should—you’ll learn a lot about yourself as both person and writer, and you’ll enjoy writing more, and you’ll (hopefully) be able to refine your skills.
But if—if—you intend to share your writing with the world, if you actually have something to say, you need to be aware that you have a duty to make yourself understood without wasting people’s time. Do not make people regret having picked up your writing by being so in love with the sound of your own voice that you are no longer courteous to others.
Love your writing. Love it fiercely and passionately and with reckless abandon, but reach a place where you know how your writing is going to be perceived at large. Use as many words as you need to get your point across and no more.
In Closing
If you’re still having difficulty identifying repetition within your own work, ask someone who is skilled at recognizing this issue to look over your writing. It’s always easier to recognize repetition when you haven’t written it, so fresh eyes can give you the insight you might not be able to see yourself.
Know your audience. A children’s book will require a different level of repetition than an instruction manual or a sci-fi novel or an autobiography. If you’re reading a recipe, you’d be annoyed and confused if the author told you to add the same ingredient twice due to shoddy proofreading. Write and repeat accordingly.
Whatever you’re writing, make a point of intentionally performing at least one round of editing with the intention of eliminating unnecessary repetition. Your readers will appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.

Specialist Website Design Tips That Really Assistance
Many individuals wish to end up being a website design pro. At the same time, few individuals agree to put in the time and also effort to discover the fundamentals. If you are devoted to learning website design, maintain analysis.
Avoid trying to include every new device to your website. It can be tempting to make your website look cutting edge by consisting of every new website design choice available yet it can end up transforming individuals off. Simple will generally get the job done even better than a flashy layout.
Avoid cramming page aspects with each other. Each area of your page ought to be normally separated from each other, as this makes the objective of each section much more clear. The easiest way to separate sections is by using DIVs, but there are other means, consisting of absolute positioning (not advised), the CSS margin command, as well as floats.
Do not disable the site visitor's right-click functionality. Some websites do this in order to stop people from copying as well as pasting message or conserving photos from the website. Things is, it doesn't work as well as disables various other valuable functions. Optical Character Recognition can be used to catch text from such sites, as well as ordering images is as basic as taking a screenshot.
If you plan on having a business website, you should seriously take into consideration getting your own host. The majority of free host sites require you to display their ads, which is counter-intuitive if you are attempting to sell something too. Acquisition your own hosting to prevent this advertising problem, to ensure that you can select your own ads.
Tumblr media
Make certain whatever is simple to situate on your website. Spend some significant idea on exactly how everything on your website will certainly be set out. When material is arbitrarily thrown on your website with little thought to the design, you are making points more difficult for individuals whose use your site ensures your on-line success - your site visitors.

in re: grammar and tumblr. for me the use of capital letters is reserved for catching attention. like if i want to put emphasis on a certain word or thought i'll capitalize (and in some cases i may put the trademark symbol after) like so: did y'all see the magicians last night, it was Bananas(tm). or 'Toby Stevens really Did That in the last episode of [whatever show].' it implies more than just the word(s) used. using asterisks implies a certain emphasis on the word(s) they surround
Hmmm, this is fascinating information - thank you so much for answering! (to this post) 😁
So is it a new hype not to use capital letters when beginning a new sentence - and if so, how common it might be and why? Are capital letters considered old-fashioned and too restricting or some such? I do understand capitalisation of The Thing as an emphasis, but that is more related to exact words, content and meaning, unlike writing everything without capital letters.
And lack of punctuation - is that perhaps an intentional attempt to express breathless narrative - hurry hurry no time to stop - or just people thinking them unnecessary: that the readers should do the work themselves figuring out how the words and sentences are connected or separated, instead of being assisted in that by the writer?
These are genuine questions as it puzzles me why people would make following their words and message more difficult by a deliberate choice in how they write... Or maybe it’ just me, and everyone else follows these long ambling no-brake paragraphs absolutely fluently...
If anyone has further insight or thoughts or comments about this, I would be very interested to hear!

THE ART AND MATH OF THE COMMA
Regarding commas, I personally feel that "When in doubt, leave it out" is actually some pretty bad grammatical advice. I realise that there are some hurdles in the world of education in regards to getting that education, so yes, it's potentially classist and / or abelist to hold bad grammar against a person. But if you really want to be a writer, I'd say that far better advice is, "If you want to use a tool, do all you can to learn how it works." (Also, "If you want to break the rules for effect, you need to know what they actually are.") So for those of you who might be afraid of commas, let me show you how important they are! 
(Grammar Credentials: I've been a staff writer for SequentialTart.com since late 2001, a proofer for them since 2002, and an assistant editor for them since 2008. Not saying I never make mistakes, nor that I never have questions or need to look things up, but I think I have a fairly solid grasp of grammar by now! LOL!)
COMPOUND SENTENCES
One important use of a comma (and other punctuation) is to give your reader a rest. Let's look at a couple of sentences:
1 - The dog barked and the cat meowed.
2 - The dog lectured the cat on proper etiquette and the cat scoffed at the dog. 
Any time you have two (or more) sets of subjects and predicates (if you don't know what I mean, search engines are your friends), you have what's called a "compound sentence". These are two sentences that could stand alone, but have been joined because they are closely connected regarding a topic. When the two sets still make a short sentence, like #1, yes, it's generally considered okay to not use a comma between them (although it IS still okay to use one -- "The dog barked, and the cat meowed."). But 99% of the time, a compound sentence is more like the second example, which really should have a comma separating two clauses that could be sentences on their own.
 As two separate sentences: The dog lectured the cat on proper etiquette. The cat scoffed at the dog.
As a compound sentence:  The dog lectured the cat on proper etiquette, and the cat scoffed at the dog.
 Without the comma, for a moment, we have what I like to call Schroedinger's Pause. Will the writer tell us about something *else* the dog is lecturing about?
 The dog lectured the cat on proper etiquette 
and how to meow.
 Or will the writer tell us about something else altogether?
The dog lectured the cat on proper etiquette, 
and the cat scoffed at the dog.
The comma tells us that a new thought, still related to the same subject as the first, is coming, rather than a continuation of what they were already talking specifically about. Yes, a reader will likely figure things out after the fact, but why make them mentally stumble in the first place? They're already doing you the kindness of reading your work -- don't take up even a millisecond extra of their time by make them work to discern *your* meaning! And don't tire them out by writing what's called "a run-on sentence" -- that is, writing compound sentences without commas. Imagine saying a compound sentence aloud without a breath -- reading can feel mentally a bit like speaking while running out of air before you get to the end. Commas (and periods, exclamation points, question marks, semicolons, and em-dashes) signal a place for the reader to take a mental breath. (Seriously, if a story has a lot of run-ons in the first few paragraphs, chances are high that I'm going to quit reading it.)
There are also situations that use "and" (or "but"), but aren't actually compound sentences, yet still are best served by using a comma. For example:
The dog lectured the cat on etiquette, and also had a snack.
"Also had a snack" is not a complete sentence on its own, so this isn't a compound sentence. Here, the comma tells us that what follows the subsequent "and" refers to the noun in the sentence, not the verb -- it's a list (even if it only has two items) of verbs the dog performs (lecturing and having a snack), not a list of subjects being lectured about. 
And then there's ...
 THE SERIAL (aka Oxford, aka Harvard) COMMA VS NON-SERIAL 
There's a sort of war between people who feel one should use a comma before the last "and" in a list (Serial) and those who feel it's not necessary.
SERIAL - The dog played with the cat, his toy, and his food.
NON - The dog played with the cat, his toy and his food. 
With the serial comma, it's absolutely clear that we're listing three separate items. Without it, it seems like we COULD be offering a further explanation on the first item -- saying the cat is the dog's toy and is the dog's food. If we made the serial comma the grammatical standard, we'd never have to wonder which the writer meant. Just sayin'.
 THE PRESENCE -- OR LACK THEREOF -- OF COMMAS CAN CHANGE THE MEANING WHEN A SENTENCE HAS MULTIPLE CLAUSES
 Let's get a little more complex with our sentences.
1- The dog lectured the cat on proper etiquette, and the cat scoffed at the dog, making his displeasure known.
2- The dog lectured the cat on proper etiquette, and the cat scoffed at the dog making his displeasure known.
 In the first sentence, the cat scoffs and makes the CAT'S displeasure known. In the second, the cat is scoffing at the dog for making the DOG'S displeasure known.
 PREPOSITIONS / PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES 
1- In the meantime the cat took a nap.
2- In the meantime, the cat took a nap.
It used to be standard that, if you started a sentence with a prepositional phrase, one would always put a comma after the phrase. That rule has gone by the wayside in recent years, but personally, I'm still a fan of it, for the same reason as one really should use them in compound sentences: it gives the reader a natural resting point. The longer the opening clause, the more highly I would recommend using one. 
Okay without: After dinner the dog took a nap
Not so much: After running around the house a hundred times with a case of the zoomies the dog fell fast asleep.
Better make it: After running around the house a hundred times with a case of the zoomies, the dog fell fast asleep.
Further, commas can mean the difference between a sentence fragment  and a finished sentence.
 Fragment: After the cat fell asleep.
^ That was a prepositional phrase with nothing to do. After the cat fell asleep, what happened?
No longer a fragment: After, the cat fell asleep.
"After" tells us when the cat fell asleep -- after whatever happened in the prior sentence.
 THE PRESENCE -- OR LACK THEREOF -- OF COMMAS CAN CHANGE THE MEANING WHEN USING "AS", "SINCE", "SO", "LIKE", "AS WELL AS", "BECAUSE", "WHO", and "WHERE"
1 - The dog stopped eating as his teeth became sore.
2 - The dog stopped eating, as his teeth became sore. 
The first example, with no comma before the "as", tells us *when* the dog stopped eating -- at the same temporal moment that his teeth became sore.  The second, WITH a comma before the as, tells that what comes after the "as" is an explanation of WHY the dog stopped eating.  It's a subtle distinction, sure, but still there.
 1- The dog had been tired since it had started raining.
2- The dog had been tired, since it had started raining.
The first sentence tells us at what point the dog had become tired -- when it had started raining. The second tells us the dog became tired because of the rain.
 1- The dog ran round the house, so the cat went into hiding.
2- The dog ran around the house so the cat went into hiding.
The first sentence means that the cat went into hiding as a result of the dog running. The second sentence means that the dog ran around with the specific intent of driving the cat into hiding.
1- The dog was so happy, that he wagged his tail.
2- The dog was so happy that he wagged his tail.
In the first instance, the dog wagged his tail because he was so happy. In the second, he was so happy because he was able to wag his tail (presumably it had been restricted somehow before).
 1- The dog couldn't land on his feet, like the cat could.
2- The dog couldn't land on his feet like the cat could.
The first example is saying that the dog couldn't land on his feet at all, but the cat was able to. The second says the dog CAN land on his feet, but not in the same way as the cat could.
 1- The cat barked as well as the dog.
2- The cat barked, as well as the dog.
The first example tells us that the Cat performed the task in a fashion that was as satisfactory as the dog was able to perform it. The second example tells us that the dog barked in addition to the cat having barked.
 1- The cat didn't run because he knew the dog who was approaching him.
2- The cat didn't run, because he knew the dog who was approaching him.
The first sentence suggests that the cat DID run, but that the fact that he knew about the approach of the dog was not the reason why; he had some OTHER reason, like maybe he felt like stretching his legs. The second sentence tells us that he didn’t run, and that the fact that that he knew about the approach of the dog was the reason he didn't
 1- The dog hated the rat, who kept stealing food.
2- The dog hated the rat who kept stealing food.
The first example tells us more about a rat -- and suggests that there is only one in the scenario. The second example rat specifies which rat, suggesting there's more than one rat in the scenario, and that the dog doesn't hate the ones who aren't stealing food.
 !- The cat was washing his face when the dog shook water all over the place.
2- The cat was washing his face, when the dog shook water all over the place.
The first one tells us when the cat was washing his face -- at the same time that the dog was shaking water all over. But the second example actually tells us that the cat was in the process of washing his face FIRST, and THEN, while the cat was STILL WASHING, the dog shook water all over.
 1- The cat sleeps on the sofa, where it's warm.
2- The cat sleeps on the sofa where it's warm.
The first example tells us more about the couch, explaining why the cat sleeps there. The second example specifies *which* sofa, telling us there must be other sofas (or spots on the same sofa) that are not warm.
 Now, I know what you're thinking: "Wolfie, what about 'which'??" Looking at "who", you might think that using a comma means that what comes after will elaborate on what comes before it the comma -- and you would be right, in that particular case -- and that NOT using a comma means that "which" is used to specify which one out of multiple. But actually, instead of using "which" without a comma, you should use "that", instead!
The bowl, which was empty, was silver.
The bowl that was empty was silver.
WHEN IT COMES TO "TOO"
1- The dog likes milk too.                
2- The dog likes milk, too. 
There are style books that will say you MUST ALWAYS use a comma with "too", and others say that it's up to the writer. What I'm about to suggest IS NOT CONSIDERED A HARD-AND-FAST GRAMMAR RULE, just a matter of my opinion. I contend that the first sentence suggests that someone else besides the dog likes milk. The second sentence suggests to me that the dog likes milk *in addition to* something else the dog likes, such as food or a toy. BUT YOU DO YOU when it comes to "too". (Or do whatever your editor tells you to do.)
 COMMAS AND QUOTATIONS
There is disagreement as to whether a comma should always go inside quotations, or if there are times when they should go outside. I fall in the camp that says that, if the comma is not necessary punctuation for what goes inside the quotation marks, then it goes outside -- as I used a little ways back when listing words. Sometimes even phrases or sentences in quotes should have quotations outside.
 The cat said said she would "be right back", so the dog waited for her.
"Top of the morning to ya!", "Smoke me a kipper; I'll be back for breakfast.", and "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." are some of the dog's favourite things to say.
 Also, when you're writing dialogue, it's done THIS way:
"Let's go get something to eat," the dog said.
NOT this way:
"Let's go get something to eat." The dog said.
*shudder*
 WHEN TO USE A SEMICOLON INSTEAD OF A COMMA
All too often, I see people using a comma in instances where they should use a semicolon. If you're joining two complete sentences together into a compound, but are not using "and" or "but", then if you want to be grammatically correct, use a semicolon, NOT a regular comma. It's
The dog ran away; the cat chased after him.
NOT
The dog ran away, the cat chased after him.
If you're making a list that involves asides or sub-lists, then use a semicolon to separate the items, instead of just a comma.
The dog loved sci-fi films like the Star Wars, Star Trek, and Alien movies; fantasy films like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and The Dark Crystal; and comedies  like Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Deadpool.
The cat wrote letters to George, who was his cousin; Frank, who was his best friend; and Mary, who had been his teacher in third grade.
 And those are the ONLY times to use a semicolon! Well, unless you're winking.  ;)
These are the most common comma issues I can think of off the top of my head; I may add to this later ….

Lost Stars
Fandom: Sanders Sides Pairing: Analogical, VirgilxLogan Contents: Lost, mentions of panic Summary: Lost in thought is not the best way to walk. A/N: This was a prompt given to me by my best friendo. This as actually a lot of fun. So I hope you all enjoy.
Ao3 Link Words: 1,136 Tags: @dejectedturnip
Virgil sat in his normal chair, legs thrown over the arm and a notebook sitting open in his lap. He was supposed to be working on a paper for his class but the internet had fully distracted him from that. As such, he was just scrolling through, reading different posts as he went. The man didn’t notice the time passing, that it had gotten dark nor that his roommate hadn’t come home yet. Suddenly his scrolling was halted by his text tone and the notification popping up on the top of his screen.
L: I need assistance
The text was enough to worry Virgil, although that wasn’t saying much when he thought about it. Then he noticed it was actually closer to 9 pm, hours later than Logan was normally home. The apartment had grown dark during that time. Virgil sat up in the chair and started typing away at his phone.
V: whats wrong, where are you
He sent the text and started tapping on his leg as he waited for the response to come. It wasn’t as long as he expected with Logan tending towards having better grammar and punctuation than he needed when texting.
L: I don’t know where I am. Help me
Virgil stared at his phone with fear suddenly pooling in his stomach, making it twist uncomfortably. He quickly hit the phone icon, calling the man as he stood from the chair and started to head towards the door.
“Virgil, I am sorry to bother you but I could not get a hold of anyone else.” Logan greeted Virgil with, the sounds on the other side of the phone somewhat subdued.
“What the hell? You know I’ll help you out. Why did you wait so late to text me? Wait no, we need to find you first. Can you tell me anything about where you are?” Virgil was already grabbing his keys and he walked to the door, the notebook that once laid in his lap forgotten on the floor near the chair.
“Well I am near a forest, but it is hard to tell much else. I was walking for a decently long while before I realized nothing was familiar. I was looking for somewhere to conduct my research for that project due at the end of the month.”
“Logan, that is due next month! Why couldn’t you have waited a little while to work on that so we could have gotten Roman to drive us to wherever we need to be?” Virgil sighed, he knew the response that he was likely to gain from the question.
“You know I don’t like to leave projects. I would much rather get them done and not have to worry about them any longer. I do apologize for this situation. It was not my intention to get lost.”
“No, it never is.” Virgil muttered as he stepped onto the street, looking around for a moment. “Can you tell me which direction you were heading? There are a couple forests I can think of within walking distance from us.”
“Ah, I was not paying attention.” Logan’s voice drifted off as he hummed slightly. Virgil was silent, waiting for him to reach whatever thought he was searching for. “I believe I was heading east. I do remember the sun was quite uncomfortable on my back as I was walking. So I believe that is a logical assumption to make.”
“Okay, I’ll start heading that way. How’s your battery?” Virgil pulled the phone away from his ear, putting it on speaker for the moment as he started to send a text to Roman. He quickly typed out what was going on and asked if he could meet them when he finally found Logan to pick them up.
“It is at seventy six percent.”
“Okay, we can stay on the phone for a while longer then. But if it is too long we’ll need to hang up so you can conserve battery. Sound good?”
“Yes, that should be fine. I’ll remain where I am, that is one of the things one should do when lost.” Virgil could hear the heavy sigh from Logan on the other end. “I can’t believe I was so negligent and caused this to happen.”
“Hey man, we all make mistakes.” Virgil replied, hoping to soothe the other man as he read the text he received from Roman. With a slight nod at the affirmative response, he turned off the speakerphone and held it back to his ear as he hurried along. “Mind telling me exactly why you were walking so far away?”
“I was searching for somewhere that we could more easily see the stars. Since we’re supposed to be doing a paper on the constellations, I was hoping to get a better view of them. But I neglected to realize how far away I had walked before the sun fully set. Regardless, I did find a place to look at them. They are really beautiful.” There was a tone of wonder in Logan’s voice as he mentioned the stars, causing Virgil to glance up and notice only a couple stars due to the light pollution.
“Well, I’ll be there soon and you can show me.”
~~
The two had hung up quite a while ago, Logan had mentioned that his battery was getting lower and Virgil was confident that he was near the other. And his confidence was not ill placed, it wasn’t too much longer before he found the shadowed form of Logan leaning against one of the trees facing the road.
“Logan!” Virgil darted over, startling the man as he did so.
“Virgil, thank you for coming to find me. I do apologize for any incontinence this has caused you.” Logan pushed himself up from the dirt, wiping the back of his dark jeans off with a slight grimace.
“Dude, it’s no problem. Just don’t make this a regular habit. Now I’m going to send Roman a text telling him where we are. Cause I doubt you want to walk home.” Virgil chuckled slightly before pausing, staring at his phone. “Wait, Logan.”
“Hmm?”
“You have your phone.”
“Yes, we were conversing over the phone before you got here. I don’t see the relevance to the situation.”
“You could have used the map app.”
“Oh.” In the dim light Virgil could see the red filling Logan’s cheeks. “Oh no, Roman is never going to let me live this down. Are you sure I can’t just walk back?” He groaned, putting his head in his hands.
“Yes, time to face the music Lo.” Virgil stated with amusement in his voice. It wouldn’t be until later that he would realize Roman wouldn’t let him live down that he also forgot there was a map app on phones. “Now, show me the stars.”

Truth or Dare Part 3
Tumblr media
Summary: After going to Italy and avoiding any romantic relationships for pretty much all her life Joey comes back to the U.S. to move in with her life-long best friend, Sam Wilson, and his two closest friends from college. Joey’s met Steve but is apprehensive to meet the elusive Bucky, whom she’s always missed despite having visited Sam consistently throughout college. Once she meets him, however, she wonders how she’ll be able to run from love when they share a bathroom.
Warnings: Cussing
Word Count: 4111
Pairings: Bucky x OFC
Masterlist
The AO3
Part 1
Part 2
A/N: Let me know if you enjoy or if there are any spelling/grammar mistakes!
Stay Sexy
The first couple of weeks living together pass without conflict. They all became accustomed to each other’s schedules slowly enough. Sam and Steve are both up at the crack for their run. They race home to shower first, Steve occasionally lets Sam win, and Sam is cooking breakfast by Eight-thirty. The smell of eggs and bacon normally gets Joey and Bucky out of bed. Steve will wake them up if not. He’s adamant that they all have a meal together. Since Steve and Sam are normally at work for lunch, and Sam is almost always busy for dinner; breakfast is the big winner. Steve is out of the door at nine-thirty and home by five-thirty like clockwork. Bucky works from home or the local library if he feels like he’s being too lazy. He occasionally goes to meetings for new assignments, but as long as he meets his deadlines, he’s golden. Joey’s schedule is much more relaxed as well. Unless her boss has a project for her, she has the day off. When there is a project she’ll head to the studio around ten and sometimes stays until seven or eight depending on how demanding it is.
Bucky loves her days off. He loves sitting on the couch reading or working and her taking over Steve’s art space doing whatever she wants. Her first day off she made a mosaic out of broken glass Sam brought her from the restaurant. Right now she is making wire sculptures of each of her roommates, humming along to the Beatles’ song playing on his record player. Bucky is sitting in his corner of the couch, computer and book open, glasses on the tip of his nose. She sits on the other end manipulating the metal to resemble his likeness. Occasionally he will strike up a conversation with her when he wants a break from Russian literature.
They’ve continued their never-ending game of truth or dare, much to Sam’s chagrin. Joey has discovered a strategy that has started a war between them. One night when watching a movie, she leaned over and whispered in Bucky’s ear. He looked at her and whispered, “Dare,” unsure of what was going to happen.
She smiled and leaned back into her seat, ‘’I dare you to go get me more water.”
Now anytime one of them let their guard down, they became the other’s personal assistant.
Bucky shifts in his seat, the soreness of staying in one position too long catching up to him.
“Sunshine?” He’s been perfect about his end of the nickname pact. She has yet to call him Baby other than saying goodnight to him their first night. They haven’t spoken about it, and he worries that she’s forgotten.
“Hmm?” She responds without taking her eyes off her work.
“Truth or dare?”
“Truth, I invented that trick. I’m not refilling your coffee or getting you another blanket.” She twists something that now looks more like his jawline.
“How dare you assume that I would ever use truth or dare for nefarious purposes.” He makes an expression of mock offense.
She sighs and looks up at him, “Shoot.”
“What would I have to do for you in order to get a back massage?” He bats his eyelashes to punctuate his half question half request.
She narrows her eyes and considers it. After a moment she makes her decision, “I will exchange the greatest massage of your life if you do the dishes for me today.”
He looks back at the sink. Last night Sam was off work and he made them lasagna. They were all too exhausted to clean and the cheese has been hardening by the minute. It would be quite a challenge. But Joey’s offer is very appealing. “Let me clarify; if this massage is not the greatest of my life, then I am not required to do the dishes?”
“That’s the deal.”
“Sunshine, I’m not sure if this is fair. I’ve had massages from exes that ended not exactly platonically. Unless we want to move this to the bedroom, I don’t know if you’ll win out.” His flirty grin is unwavering.
She matches him, “I guarantee that I can give you a massage that will have you forgetting your exes names.”
“You’ve got yourself a deal.”
They shake on it and she starts moving her stuff off the couch. He follows suit and a feeling of nerves waves over him. Flirty banter is the homeostasis for them, but she’s kept her distance physically since their first night in the apartment.
About a week before, she came home late after having been completely engrossed in a project for the past five days. Sam was cooking dinner while Bucky and Steve were sat on the couch watching a soccer game when she walked in and dramatically set her keys down with an exhale. The boys all looked up at her. They had barely seen her all week.
She turned to them, “I am finally done.”
Steve applauded her and Sam hit his spatula against a pan, “Congrats Joe, how did it end up?” Sam asked.
“Really well, the client says they’ll have a new job for us next month. Hopefully, they’ll give us a longer deadline, the ten hour work days are killing me.”
Bucky stood up and crossed the room to her while she shrugged off her coat. He opened his arms to embrace her, “Way to go, Sunshine.”
She looked up at him with a smile but as he started to close his arms around her she flinched and retreated away from him.
He immediately dropped his arms and begun to apologize, but she stopped him as she stepped around him, “No big deal, you just snuck up on me.” Before he could say anything else she disappeared into her bedroom for the rest of the evening.
Bucky was naturally extremely hard on himself. He collapsed onto the couch and ran his hands through his hair, “God I… I didn’t mean to make her uncomfortable. I was just glad to see her.”
Sam had stepped behind the couch and placed a strong hand on Bucky’s shoulder, “It’s okay man. She’ll warm up to you, she’s just not always good with touch.”
So when she accepts his proposal he feels like they’re entering uncharted territory, but the fact that she’s willing cools some of his anxiety. He tries to focus on the fact that he’s about to get the tension in his back worked through, and not anywhere else.
She sets a pillow down at the end of the couch and motions to it, “Lay down. On your stomach.”
He set his glasses on the coffee table and slips off his sweater, leaving him in just a black t-shirt and sweats. He lays down and adjusts his head on the pillow until he’s comfortable.
“Is it okay if I sit on your lower back?”
He swallows and nods.
She climbs on to him and sits half on his ass, half on his back. The pressure is comfortable. She places her hands on his shoulders and leans down to whisper in his ear, “You ready, Baby?” Her breath tickles his ear and he all of the sudden is very thankful for the angle his body is currently in.
She softly digs her thumbs into his shoulders and he has to fight a groan, “So you do remember our wager.” His voice muffled by the pillow.
To say Joey was out of her comfort zone was an understatement, but that seems to be where she and Bucky are living for the time being. She doesn’t do this. She doesn’t instigate touch, not even if she’s known the person for years, but she and Bucky have become fast friends. Alarmingly fast. And she sooo doesn’t want to clean up lasagna night. Still, he’s right to call her out. She hasn’t addressed him by name very purposefully. She’s not gonna wimp out of the dare, but calling him Baby still feels so foreign.
“I told you I wouldn’t be good at it.” She presses the heel of her hand right below his shoulder blade and he lightly squirms at the sensation. She’s good at this. Really good.
“Too much for you?” She’d expect his tone to be taunting but it’s genuine, curious almost. Like he’s checking to see if it’s okay.
“Um,” She moves to her right hand to his lower back and digs both down to lengthen his spine, “Just new territory for me is all.” She moves her hands to his neck and presses each finger down in a rhythm.
For ten more silent minutes, she kneads into his back and he falls into some sort of a heaven, even when she uses her elbow to take out a knot in his shoulder. She tries to ignore how warm his back is and he tries not to think about what the massage would feel like without clothing in the equation. She stops for a minute and he prepares himself to relent that it was, in fact, the best massage he’d ever had. Then she puts her fingers in his hair. Her nails scratch his scalp and he lets out a groan he’d been working hard to keep in up until that moment. He feels her knees tighten around his hips and she stops moving her fingers for a second. He’s about to apologize when she continues again. Switching from slightly pulling to scratching sends him into euphoria. He’s begun to drift off when she places her hand over his left upper arm. She holds it there for a moment and right when he considers asking her something she gets off of him. He misses her weight and warmth immediately.
Even though Bucky so doesn’t want to, he sleepily flips over, “Well that was truly awful. You’ve got a lot to learn, Sunshine.” His eyes are barely open and his hair is sticking in every direction. She just hums in response, and he sits up. “Where did you get so good at that?”
She sits back down in her corner of the couch, “I took a massage therapy course in Italy.” Her response is dripping in nonchalance.
He’s still dazed, “You’re like a god at that. Seriously. You transported me into a new dimension.”
She laughs at his hyperboles, “Does this mean you’ll do the dishes for me?”
“As long as you keep me company.” He stands up and runs his hands through his hair before making his way to their exploding kitchen.
She sits at the island, “Truth or dare?”
“Truth,” he says as he rolls up his sleeves to start scrubbing the pan.
“If you could have any superpower what would you want?”
“Throwing it back to basics now?” He looks at her over his shoulder.
“Just trying to get to know the man beneath the smirk.” She shrugs, sporting her own side-swept smile.
“I appreciate that. So many people assume that just because I am devilishly handsome, I have no real substance.” He sighs dramatically.
“What a burden to bear.”  She rests her chin in her hand.
“I guess I’d like to control time. You know, pause when I want to stay in a moment, go back when I want.”
“Haven’t you seen the cautionary tale Click ?”
“Of course, so now I know what not to do. No fast-forwarding anything! I’d stay away from the future.”
“I must admit it would be a real asset. You could pause and just sleep any time you wanted.”
“Exactly. What about you?” He finishes the first pan.
“I’d like to speak and understand every language on Earth.”
“But that’s possible.” Bucky protests.
“It is most definitely not possible! I know two and I feel like my Italian is fading every day.”
“That’s just because you’re not using it. With my job I’m constantly using the languages so it’s fresh.”
“How many languages do you know?”
“Well, I grew up knowing Russian and Romanian, but we had a neighbor who spoke Spanish so I learned that and took it in high school. In college, I obviously focused on Russian a lot but I took every language course available, so I’d say four fluently, but I can understand and speak French, and Portuguese, although I wouldn’t be the best writer.” Joey’s eyebrows shoot up to her hairline. “It’s not that impressive, they’re mostly all romance languages.”
“Can you understand Italian, it’s a romance language?”
“Understand, probably. Speak, I don’t know enough vocabulary I think.”
“La Tua lingua è molto impressionante.”
“Thank you, you’re not the first person to be impressed by my tongue.” He gives her a wicked grin.
She rolls her eyes, “Your turn.”
“Truth or dare?” They both enjoy the fluctuation of their conversations and the constant game.
“Truth.”
“Why’d you take the massage therapy class?”
“Um… It was suggested to me by a therapist.” She twists a couple rings on her fingers and adjusts the scarf that blocks her hair from her eyes. He doesn’t push for more information, but she continues, “I have some… physical intimacy issues. I know you… I mean I’m sure you’ve noticed. So before I left a therapist told me it might be empowering, and it was.” He’s so focused on her that he stops paying attention to what he’s doing when he picks up the cast iron and almost places it in the soapy sink water. “No!” Joey rushes up and stops him at the last second, “Baby, you can’t clean the cast iron in soap, you’ll ruin it.” She takes it from his hands.
He knows if he points it out she’ll immediately clam up, so he lets his smile be the only evidence he heard her, “My bad, I wasn’t paying attention.”
“That will get you at the top of Sam’s shit list.” She starts scrubbing at the cast iron with steel wool while he loads the dishwasher.
“Oh you mean there’s someone ahead of me as is?”
“You know you’re one of his best friends.”
“Yeah, I know. He’s one of mine.” She dries off the cast iron with a rag and he takes it from her, “You don’t have to help, I’m a man of my word.” She nods with a smile and leans against the counter. He works in silence while she watches for a moment or two. He sets down a sponge and softly but casually says, “You are too, you know.”
“I am what?”
He decides to turn to her, “One of my best friends.” He crosses his arms over his chest.
He sees her click her jaw and she purses her lips to hide her smile. “Anche tu.” She responds in Italian.
He tosses a rag at her to dispel some of the lingering tension from their mutual vulnerability, “Truth or dare?”
“Dare.”
“I dare you to get me a beer to enjoy as I finish up this monstrosity.” She walks over to the fridge and pulls one out for him.
He finishes up cleaning while they share the beer. Once he proudly presses the dishwasher’s on button they sit at the island and continue their conversation.
“So who do you think will be the first to get married?” Joey takes a sip and passes the bottle to Bucky.
“Hmm… I guess Thor and Bruce right? Those guys are so in love. I don’t think Nat and Wanda will get married for a while, Nat’s got a touch of the commitment phobia. Of the single friends… Maybe Sam? It’s crazy to think about this stuff, we’re all so young.”
“You see I think that constantly, but I’ve got a ton of friends who are getting engaged. I agree about Thor and Bruce. I’ve never seen that big lug look at anyone like he looks at Bruce.”
Bucky gets up and gets them another bottle after he finishes the previous one off, “How old were you when you met?”
“Sixteen. They moved into the home I was in at the time. Thor was this bubbly and protective sweetheart. His brother was a walking shadow, but so wicked smart. Their sister was older and she ran off as soon she could.” She can’t help but smile when she sees him only grab one, rather than two so they don’t have to share.
“I’ve only ever met Loki at the bar, he’s never been the most social butterfly. Can’t say I know the guy very well.” He pops off the bottle cap and hands her the bottle.
“He’s tricky but a good listener, and he’s the only person in the world who can challenge Bruce for who loves Thor more.” She smiles fondly before taking a sip.
“You can say no to this, you’re not bound by truth,” he tentatively puts his hands up, “But do you mind telling me why you were in a home?”
She takes a much bigger gulp from the beer before handing it back to him, but she answers, “My mom passed away when I was twelve. I never met my Dad, my mom never talked about him, so I kinda assume that if he’s alive, he has no idea I exist. No other family members so I was in the system for six years. It was hard but I had Sam and his family. I’ve gone back and visited some of my favorite homes a couple of times. When I got my scholarship it was due a lot to some of the people who worked at the homes. The system is villainized a lot but there are some really amazing people there. Still, I’ve got my issues and trauma from it all.” She’s staring at the table in a trance, and they’re both surprised at how much she just shared with him. She looks up, “What about your family?”
Bucky itches to touch her, to comfort her in some way, but he knows she doesn't need or want it. That knowledge doesn’t do anything to eliminate the electricity in his veins. “Parents live in Brooklyn still. My little sister is at NYU for journalism. My mom is Romanian and my dad’s parents were Russian immigrants, thus all the languages.” He feels a little ashamed all of the sudden. He had this perfect childhood with two loving parents and a kick-ass little sister. His gaze shifts downwards and she catches it.
“No, no, no you don’t get to have not an orphan guilt. It’s not a big deal. You don’t look at Thor that way do you? As long as you understand and appreciate what you have we’re good. Just recognize your privilege.”
He nodded, “You got it Sunshine.”
Joey starts to say something else but is stopped by the door opening. “Hellooooo,” Sam sing-speaks as he enters.
“You’re home early,” Bucky’s tone is slightly annoyed in response to the interruption.
“Barnes, your keen observations are always impressive, who knew you could read a watch?” Sam quips without missing a beat as he drops his keys in their communal bowl. “I switched shifts earlier this week with the other Sous-Chef so he could go to his kid’s recital. Therefore, I have the night off. Therefore, we are going out tonight.” He claps his hands together to punctuate his half proposal half requirement.
Bucky grins, “Have you let Steve know that this is happening?”
“Grandpa is jogging home from work, so once he’s showered and I’ve cooked him something nice, but he’s not full, I will bring up the fact that we should properly celebrate the anniversary of Joey and I’s friendship today.” Bucky and Joey both laughed a Sam’s detailed, yet necessary plan. Steve was a notorious homebody. Anytime anyone of them suggested going out Steve argued that they should just invite everyone over there instead. Joey has a suspicion that he just gets too shy and is scared to talk to any of the girls who hit on him out in public.
“Friend anniversary?” Bucky looks to Joey.
“Fiction. We don’t even remember meeting each other.”
Sam nods and enters the kitchen, “Just showed up in each other’s life with- Holy shit, “ He interrupts himself as he sees the state of the kitchen, “Joe you’ve outdone yourself. This place is immaculate.” He gives her a grateful glance.
“I didn’t do it. Bucky did.” She replies. Bucky is grateful for the recognition, but he already misses her calling him baby. He covers his disappointment with a smug grin.
Sam’s expression immediately morphs into something resembling indifference, “You missed a spot by the sink.” Bucky chuckles and rolls his eyes. “Joey, wasn’t it your day to clean?’
She nonchalantly goes into the living room and begins cleaning up her supplies. She hadn’t noticed the sun had gone down while she and Bucky sat in the kitchen, “We traded.”
“Traded what.”
“I gave him the best massage of his life and he cleaned the messiest kitchen my life.” Sam is genuinely surprised. He knows how close they are, and how fast it’s happened, he saw it their first night. But Joey did not go around touching just anyone. The number of times he’d heard her exes complain about her lack of physical affection toward them was insurmountable. He keeps his bewilderment hidden, however, “Fair trade, you’ve got mad hands.”
She walks back to the kitchen and scratches her nails on his short hair. “Don’t you forget it.” She turns and walks back to her room.
The action takes Bucky back to the practically orgasmic feeling of her hands in his own hair. His scalp feels electrified just at the thought of it.
Sam clears his throat to get his attention, “Nice job.” Sam’s glare is so skeptical it makes Bucky feel like he’s sixteen and talking to the dad of the girl he likes.
“I could’ve wiped down sink better,” Bucky shrugs.
“That’s not what I’m talking about,” Bucky’s head tilts with confusion and Sam clarifies, “She doesn’t trust easily. She trusts you. Don’t fuck it up.”
Bucky’s eyebrows shoot up in surprise, “You gonna come at me with your shotgun if I wrong her, Sammy?”
“Don’t try me. You may have all that hair and a thick enough skull to protect from my first shot, but I’ll get you.”
They don’t say anything more, and despite Bucky’s joke, he feels Sam’s words weigh heavily on his shoulders. He picks up his laptop and books and takes them back to his room while Sam gets started on dinner. Bucky’s been engrossed in a book for about an hour when he hears a knock at his door. He gets up and opens the door to Joey leaning against the frame.
He’s got his glasses on again and an imprint on his cheek, so she deduces he’s been reading and therefore not checking his phone despite Sam’s announcement of dinner in their group chat. “Dinner,” she walks away and he follows her.
Sam and a wet-haired Steve are already at the table discussing whatever happened during their days. Sam gesturing wildly and his eyes wide, while Steve nearly choked on his food laughing. Sam looks up from his story and points to the kitchen, “Chicken masala is on the stove.”
They all sit together, mostly listening to Sam talk while the three others comment here and there. Just before Steve finishes his meal Sam looks across the table at Joey to signal he’s about to make his move, “You know, funny thing about today is it’s Joe and I’s friendship anniversary.” Sam states casually.
“Oh really, that’s sweet. How many years have you had to put up with this fool now, Killer?” Steve inquires.
She quickly attempts the math in her head, “Something like eighteen years, since kindergarten at least.”
“That’s nice,” an unaware Steve smiles to them before looking back down to his plate, “Sam this amazing by the way.”
“Thank you, Steve,” Sam kicks Bucky’s leg under the table and Bucky sends him a confused and pained look, “Did you say something Buck?”
Bucky rolls his eyes but gets the message, “We should go out and celebrate.” His tone dripping with fake enthusiasm.
Sam’s foot finds Joey’s shin and she speaks out a startled, “Yeah!”
Steve skeptically looks at his friends and then sets his fork down, “Sam, really? Is there even an anniversary?”
Sam is quiet for just long enough that Steve lets out an annoyed groan of sorts and moves to go wash his plate.
Sam follows him, “Oh come on Steve! This is the first Friday I’ve had off in weeks! Everybody else is in!”
“Sam! I’m tired! I worked all day and all I want to do is watch a movie with my best friends and pass out,” he scratches at his beard. “You do that every night! All we’re asking for is a little trip down to Asgard!” Sam pleads. Joey notices Steve’s expression change now that he knows he’s not going to some trashy club and instead to the bar Thor and Loki own together. She can see him weigh the options in his mind.
“Sam… Why don’t you guys just go without me?”
“Because we don’t want to man! Come on! We’re a squad. Everybody’s favorite foursome. I’ve got the looks, you’ve got the arts, Barnes will make us seem more interesting, and Joey’s got boobs!”
“Hey!” Joey and Bucky say simultaneously. Joey continues on, “If anything Steve has bigger boobs than I do.” Bucky laughs out loud at this but Steve and Sam are too wrapped up in each other to even hear her.
Sam and Steve continue to stare each other down until Sam sighs and says, “I will do your next three dish duties.”
Steve hesitates and then sticks out his hand. They shake on it and Sam turns to them with a blinding smile, “It’s time to party bitches.”
Never wash a cast iron with soap.

Outsourcing Your Content Writing: Key Considerations For Newbies
Tumblr media
More and more organisations are realising that outsourcing high-quality content marketing may be a crucial component of any business in an era where flexible work schedules and remote working are quickly becoming the norm for many employees. from a sole proprietor to an online business with six figures.
How do I know this, then? Considering that I used to be the freelance writer that other companies could hire for content marketing outsourcing without compromising quality. Many ghostwritten articles that are timely, amusing, and improve thought leadership and industry authority. These articles are expertly written to precisely reflect the organization's mission and essential messages. Social media updates that are timely and frequent are used to promote their knowledge and reputation. Their second set of eyes to check for punctuation, grammar, and spelling mistakes. Whatever it is, I can write about it.
I can therefore declare with confidence that when I started an online business again, I had to outsource content marketing right away without compromising quality. I was able to drive my business forward because I was focused on what was necessary for me to do. It doesn't necessarily mean acting just because you can. In any case, not if you want to scale.
When you aren't suffering from content fatigue and can concentrate on running your business rather than spending all of your time doing it, it suddenly becomes a lot more enjoyable and fun. A webmaster to supervise the upkeep of your website, a virtual assistant to handle part of the business's administrative duties, and a bookkeeper to do the math. So why not hire a content writer to manage your words and outsource your content marketing without compromising quality?
At least one of my posts is outsourced every week. And I always utilise fiver.com or fivesquid.co.uk because they are both hotbeds of excellent writing and fantastic online portfolios of someone's work without you having to do your homework. In most cases, I think peer reviews are very accurate and trustworthy, just like I would if I were making an internet purchase. Having said that, websites that offer freelancing services for your company invariably charge the individual you're outsourcing to a commission. But after we've developed a nice working relationship, I usually ask them to send me an invoice. I believe it is essential to express to the content creators I work with my appreciation for the calibre of their work. Because hiring experts to write the content for your internet business is worth its weight in gold and will pay off in the long run.
will allow you to benefit from their skill set, expertise, and skills without having to worry about taking on employer duties (for whom 2.5 times salary is the average cost of an employee).

The Amateur’s Guide to Writing
Writing is a skill everyone have. Anyone can write, but few will want to improve their writing skills. The good thing is that everyone can also improve their writing skills. This is a place where anyone can figure out the steps needed to improve how they write. There are a few easy steps to become better at writing. Writing is the most important thing to do when wanting to be better at the very topic, and there's plenty a person can do and plenty of places they can go to improve their writing. Reading also helps to form ideas and observe the skills of others. Of course, someone can't truly get better without some helpful criticism. Others' opinions are one of the most powerful resources people have. Utilizing all these tools can help anyone become a better writer.
Practice makes progress. No one can get better at a skill without actually using said skill. If one wants to get better at writing, they need to write. There are many techniques and resources a person can use to help them write better. Lifehack has a detailed list of the things one can do to improve their writing, though the big idea is to keep writing. When writer's block strikes a writer, one can simply keep writing even if it doesn't quite pertain to the topic. This helps to get ideas flowing and the mind thinking. Writing down all the ideas you have helps keep track of what someone wants to write, and it provides a physical copy of something anyone could forget. Lifehack suggests creating a writing routine. Writing every day can help you to become a better writer. Every little bit of practice helps, and the more people write, the better they become. A full-time writer has to write for several hours a day, but someone starting out can settle for half an hour. Grammarly says to be aware of the big idea. When people have a clear idea of what they want to say, they'll know what to write. Grammarly also has various tips on how to make someone's writing easier to read along with some grammar tips. The most anyone can do when wanting to get better is practice.
If one wants to be better at writing, then they need to read. People write so others can read. Reading helps writers in many ways and is said to assist writers in becoming better. The Huffington Post suggests it helps to inspire our ideas among other things. Reading is how people learn. It helps to find new words and their meanings, new information that is backed up by facts, and opinions of others that can change minds. If a writer wishes to work in a certain field of writing such as a fiction author or a journalist, they should read the works of others in their field. By reading the works of great writers, an amateur can see what works and what doesn't and can see how others can convey an idea they wanted to tell. Reading the genre a beginning writer may want to work in can help they see what specifically makes a story fantasy, horror, or nonfiction. The biggest reason reading helps a writer is that it helps the writer get to know the reader. If a creator of children shows wants to make shows children will like, they need to look at shows children already watch to see what children like and what they don't. It's about finding things that interest people and how to make one's own work interesting to others. There are many ways reading helps a writer.
If no one sees a great work of art, how does anyone knows it's great? Society runs on the opinion of others. People who want to become famous in the eyes of others have to first appear before the eyes of others. A person can't judge their own piece of work. They need feedback, and the way to get that is by putting their work out in the open. An easy way to start is to show friends or family what's been written so far. Then when confidence rises, a person can try social media. WattPad is a website where writers can upload stories they've made up or experienced. It's a free website where writers can read and share their works and get feedback from others to see what they need to work on. Tumblr is a place where people can post pictures and stories, and they receive comments. It's a good place for someone who wishes to blog or share stories about their experiences. It's important to remember that when getting feedback, it can be good and bad. Snap Survey believes feedback can motivate people. Good feedback helps a writer's confidence and motivates them to write more. Bad feedback can also be good. Criticism isn't always easy to take, and some criticism should be taken with a grain of salt, but if it's looked at the right way, the criticism can help a writer fix whatever problem they have or help them realize a mistake they keep making. Feedback is there to help people learn what they can do to be better.
Writing is a tool everybody uses in their day-to-day lives, and it's a skill everyone can improve on. By utilizing resources online and writing every day, a person shows they are serious about being a better writer. Reading helps a person to expand their knowledge about how something is written or could be rewritten. It is also a good way to find inspiration because, without a want to write something, there's no reason to write. It's important to share writing, not only because that's how people communicate, but because it gives people feedback and shows them how they can improve their writing skills. Writing is more than grammar and punctuation. It's sharing ideas and feelings, experiences and desires. Improving this skill helps to improve how people communicate with each other.
