”People dont want infodumps.” And idgaf.
Infodumps can be really interesting and engaging if you do em right. And once again, write the story you want to read and pay no mind to people who tell you otherwise.

How to use Em Dash (—) and Semi Colon ( ; )
Since the ai accusations are still being thrown around, here's how i personally like to use these GASP ai telltales. 🦄✨
Em Dashes (—)
To emphasize a shift / action / thought.
They're accusing us—actually accusing us—of using AI.
To add drama.
They dismissed our skills as AI—didn't even think twice, the dimwits—and believed they were onto something.
To insert a sudden thought. Surely they wouldn't do that to us—would they?
To interrupt someone's speech. "Hey, please don't say that. I honed my craft through years of blood and tears—" "Shut up, prompter."
To interrupt someone's thoughts / insert a sudden event.
We're going to get those kudos. We're going to get those reblogs—
A chronically online Steve commented, “it sounds like ai, idk.”
Semi Colons ( ; )
To join two closely related independent sentences / connect ideas.
Not only ChatGPT is capable of correct punctuation; who do you think it learned from in the first place?

Ultimate pro tip: use them whenever the fuck you want. You don't owe anyone your creative process. 🌈

when you listen to a song and it gives you inspiration to daydream an answer to the plot hole in the story building inside your head

Writer PSA 3.0
You don't stitch up jagged holes/cuts in people. It will end up with dead space under the suture and/or infected. Also ragged the skin edges will die, the suture will tear through the dead tissue, and the wound will reopen. If you want a character to sew anything closed, they can suture ligate a blood vessel, which cannot be done by a 1.5 inch needle by hand. You can look up "suture ligation" on youtube if you want to write out the process.
You pack a roll of saline soaked gauze into the wound and cover it with a dry gauze, telfa or ABD dressing and tape. You can close it later, but that also means washing it out with more saline, cutting the dead tissue edges.
I've worked in surgery for 5 years, and have rarely completely closed a hole/knife wound/cut the first time. Everytime I read a story/watch a movie with someone fumbling a giant needle through a jagged ass hole/cut I yell "WHY?!"
Please stop giving me reasons to scream "Why?!"
Thank you

"What are you reading right now?" My own wip because apparently I forgot my own writing style

me, after spending two hours deciding which synonym of “laugh” to use and only managing to add one sentence to my WIP: well, that was draining. that’s enough work done for the week, at least.

Writing at night is always such a vibe. You don't write "He crouched down in front of her." You write, "He knelt at her feet, like a sinner at a shrine."

I open my wallet and all that flutters out is a moth and a few unfinished wips. Dinner is NOT on me

I love writing something, hating it, then reading it again months later and being like "hey, this is kind of a banger, I should keep working on this!"
