Because Our Prescriptive English-speaking Education System Would Have Us Believe That "x And Me" Is Never

So this is the apps/sites I've used in the last couple of months.

I used Focus Writer for a while on my laptop, but it was only stored locally and didn't have anything for plotting/world building. For pure writing though I quite liked it.

Then I tried Reedsy Studio, which I really loved but doesn't have an offline option and it glitches a lot saying that you're offline when you're not. I did really like their plotting/world building tools, though they needed a bit of tweaking which is to be expected for a program that's still in beta. Once they sort out the glitches and bring out the offline option (which will be paid iirc, so will have to see what the pricing is) I might check it out again.

After that I wound up back on MS Word, which I'm happy with for now, although I am looking for a tool to track my writing goals.

For world building I use Obsidian. Not sure if I'll stick with it but I am kind of obsessed with the little chart it makes for you.

For screenwriting I use Trelby.

Hello fellow writers of Tumblr!

Does anyone feel like sharing the websites they use for writing or what apps? I know Google docs isn't the best, so I'm trying to expand my horizons a little. Would love to hear ya'll's recommendations!

It's been driving me a little nuts tbh 😔

is the mature content filter suddenly out of nowhere flagging completely innocent posts with a growing frequency for everyone else or....

here take an echo

Family 🥰

Rb if you were/are a gifted kid I wanna see how many of us ended up here

The notebooks

I have so many

Even though I do most of my note taking and actual writing on my laptop

Tell me you are a writer without telling you are a writer.

I'll go first

I have 1000s of pinterest boards that all start with a "project something" as title.

Reading fantasy again, I've started thinking about how odd it is how in books like that, the non-human races invariably scoff at human frailty and vulnerability, even those that they'll call friends. Like that's mean?? Why would you be a dick to your friend who you know is not capable of as much as you are, and it's not their fault they were born like that. That's mean.

Like consider the opposite: Characters of non-human races treating their human companions like frail little old dogs. Worrying about small wounds being fatal - humans die of small injuries all the time - or being surprised that humans can actually eat salt, even if they can't stomach other spicy rocks. Being amazed that a human friend they haven't seen in 10 years still looks so young, they've hardly aged at all! And when the human tries to explain that they weren't going to just unexpectedly shrivel into a raisin in 10 years, the longer-lifespan friend dismisses this like no, he's seen it happen, you don't see a human for 10 or 20 years and they've shriveled in a blink.

Elves arguing with each other like "you can't take her out there, she will die!" and when the human gets there to ask what they're talking about, they explain to her that the journey will take them through a passage where it's going to be sunny out there. Humans burn in the sun. And she will have to clarify that no, actually, she'll be fine. They fight her about it, until she manages to convince them that it's not like vampires - humans only burn a little bit in the sun, not all the way through. She'll be fine if she just wears a hat.

Meanwhile dwarves are reluctant to allow humans in their mines and cities, not just out of being secretive, but because they know that you cannot bring humans underground, they will go insane if they go too long without seeing the sun. Nobody is entirely sure how long that is, but the general consensus is three days. One time a human tries to explain their dwarf companion that this is not true, there are humans that endure much longer darkness than that. As a matter of fact, in the furthest habited corners of the lands of the Northmen, the winter sun barely rises at all. Humans can survive three weeks of darkness, and not just once, but every single year.

"Then how do they sane?" Asks the dwarf, and just as he does, the conversation gets interrupted by the northland human, who had been eavesdropping, and turns to look at them with an unnerving glint in her colourless grey eyes, grinning while saying

"That's the neat part, we don't."

i love them

Friendly reminder that you should

Write that fic

Draw your OC

Redesign that blorbo

Plan that comic how you want

Create the content you want to see

Be cringe

Be free

The only thing that matters is you having fun! Not what others think!

In my quest to find interesting poses and facial expressions for the clones when I attempt drawing them, I keep running across whaf I can only describe as a 😐 face that Temuera Morrison makes. And I have never seen someone look so done with it and I save every one I run across on Pinterest I love it so much. Examples:

Like it’s just so done and brilliant, and there’s just something I really love about it and him in general.
