Wow, the Wildmother really loves him.

Let’s get it done

[lyralit]

what to write next; wip writers' block edition:

switch POVs (this would differ if you really want it to be limited, but if you do switch, make sure to keep it [somewhat] consistent)

introduce a new character

scrap the planning and go off the rails (literally and figuratively)

kill off a character

turn something the characters have been chasing into something that doesn't exist

destroy the thing they've been chasing just when they get it

introduce another subplot

turn one of the mc's trusted characters into a traitor

what would you do to make your mc's life as difficult as possible? oh, that's evil. do it.

send the mc on a wild goose chase

make the mc screw up really, really badly

enact the Fatal Flaw™—make this make them screw up

the mc does something that splits up their group and renders them not trustworthy

the mc betrays their group

the characters are forced to sacrifice something dear

the villain dies

the villain is killed by an underling who is even worse than the original villain

introduce the person who controls the villain

kill off the mc's motivation

what would give the villain absolute power? a gateway to achieve their goal? do it, or if you can't, nudge them in the right direction

The kirby cafe descriptions for every single one of Meta Knight’s themed items are bizarrely personal but this one in particular made me laugh enough that I woke up in the middle of the night to scrawl out this shitpost

Working on coloring this but also enjoyed the ink/blue sketch look. Enjoy the unfinished Disneyfied Fruity Four.

“What Biden talked about during the campaign … is that if large corporations engage in illegal anti-union activity, they will not be eligible for federal contracts. Well, Amazon is engaged in illegal anti-union activity.”

titling wips - prompts and examples

the name of an important character (Hamlet, Shakespeare)

an important place (ACOTAR, S.J.M.)

a summary / foreshadowing of the plot (the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C.S.L.; Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, L.C.)

look at other titles from the genre -> currently a popular layout in YA fantasy is "a ______ of ______"

choose one word that summarizes nearly everything (Divergent, V.R.)

the name of a place or event (Caraval, Stephanie Garber)

a recurring theme (Twilight, Stephenie Meyer)

a quote (These Violent Delights, Chloe Gong)

literary devices -> alliteration (The Great Gatsby, F.S.F.) -> rhetoric (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, P.K.D.) -> allusion (Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea, Chelsea Handler)

what stands out? can you put that into words?

remember that titles will change with time—Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen) was once named First Impressions, and War and Peace (Leo Tolstoy) named All's Well that Ends Well

the time of the setting of the novel (Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell)

enough of the ending to spike curiosity in the reader (They Both Die at the End, Adam Silvera)

a rare word that describes the book

use a general title then a subtitle

think of the title being as much of a hook as the first line. would you rather read Caraval or Magic Fair?

be specific—Mystery of the Iron Mask VS the Mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask (E. H.-J.)
