Wait so what does 6 exclamation marks make you? What about 7 or 8?? And where does 3 and 4 put you??? What about question marks???? What if you use both?????!!!!! It is different if you alternate?!?!?!?!?!?!
The 5 exclamation marks thing is a quote from a Terry Pratchett novel. I think he referenced it later in other books as well by specifically having insane characters use 5 exclamation marks in their writing or speech.
I'd rather have new regrets then the same old, same old. Though maybe that's just the gamer in me trying to 'complete the bestiary', if you know what I mean. Wonder if anyone's actually filled the thing...
"These kids on their video games- sounds like you should play them then. Might give you something interesting to say for a change.
My w key no longer works so if everyone could start putting w in their posts so I can easily cut & paste it that would be cool
I feel like we should tone down the way we deragotorize rats and other rodents, because rodents really aren't that bad. Unless you're a bad rat owner, but that goes for any pet. This is probably just my rodent bias shining through. I do get what you mean though.
Maybe this is novice-writer of me, but I hadn’t written down anything for my story (character bios, background info, etc), it was all in 1/
Me too, I don't really have a storyboard or plot in mind most of the time, I just write from where I am at the moment. Often when I'm writing, I find that I'm daydreaming scenarios that could only take place about 6,000 words later. I also sometimes have to refer to old chapter to keep track of previously mentioned plot point like the date, weather, enviroment, etc.
I think a good solution would be a sort of 'Author's notes' chapter that we could jot down plot points in, things we'd need to keep track of.
I actually just finished going through my story as though I was a reader, taking notes the entire time (both for what’s happened and what’s to come). It was an incredibly bizarre experience to attempt to perceive my own work as a viewer, but I definitely think I have a better hold than I did previously lol. I even got some new ideas!
