kids these days being like “i need chat gpt to write an essay that would normally take 12 hours in 2” but back in my day i did that all the time by using a little technique called “writing some absolute bullshit.” and yet i still walked away with a better essay and more critical thinking skills than i would get if i used chatgpt. return to tradition: write a bad essay that you started on the day it was due, but write it yourself

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

How To Write- An Unreliable Narrator

Lying: Whether your narrator knows it or not, they are a liar. They might twist truths, or just not understand the full picture of what's happening in your novel. Maybe they've convinced themselves it's the truth, but the reality is... it's not.

Lying By Omission: Your narrator may also withhold information from you readers. This can include; withholding plots, not revealing if something is metaphorical or literal or just holding back facts. Sometimes it's crucial, other times it can be casual

Hiding A Personality: Is your narrator smarter than they seem? Or is an innocent person actually more evil? There are stacks of things to conceal about one's personality and your unreliable narrator may have a few secrets.

Mess Up Motivations: What does the narrator want? Well sometimes it's best not to tell. Is the narrator obsessed or just intrigued? Do they love them, or is there something more vicious? Don't let your readers know what the narrator really wants.

Questionable Acts: Your narrator may do something shocking or questionable, thats makes your readers question what is going on. For example, if your narrator suddenly talks highly about someone they hate, or talks to someone who they'd never normally talk to in a questionable way.

Are They The Villain?: No, just because they aren't reliable, doesn't mean they are the villain. Some are just telling the story the way they see it, although yes, they may be psychopathic and murderous.

Utilise Secondary Characters: A secondary character may mention something that the narrator forgot to mention, or withheld from the reader. Then, they've been caught and this may give the reader information that the narrator is unreliable. Actions of other characters also suggest the truth. For example, if your innocent character is arrested, it may reveal their true personality.

Make It Believable: Don't do anything too extreme or it just seems... not real. Of course it is fictional, but one of the best things about fiction is that is seems almost real.

Why?: Why is your narrator unbelievable? Are they hiding something they regret, or have lost their memory. Do they not know the truth or are they trying their best to conceal it? Make sure you always have a reason why they are unreliable.

Thanks for reading... Enjoy writing!
