Apps For Writers I Wish I Had

Not reply what they were asking, but Turn. Not only is it the Drarry fic, but it’s sort of like that.  https://archiveofourown.org/works/879852/chapters/1692695  I love the narcissistic snake trope. 

your blog really is a godsend! i’m looking for a fic where harry was under a curse (?) and basically it was an alternate universe where neville was the chosen one and he and draco were friends. it was basically harry’s entire life up to having kids and then he woke up from the curse and wasn’t with draco. i’m pretty sure they also went ice skating at some point after harry woke up from the curse. sorry it’s not much! thank you, have a great day :)

I’ve seen this similar theme before? My terrible memory is blank so I hope my lovely followers can help you :)

How to Keep an Edit Notebook

In my How to Edit a First Draft post, I mentioned something I call an edit notebook. Edit notebooks help you figure out what level of revisions your WIP requires, and exactly what is wrong with your manuscript. I use a 3-subject notebook per project, and a section per draft. An edit notebook is composed of a few parts:

1. Chapter-By-Chapter Notes

this is where you read through your manuscript and take notes on scenes

you usually want to note what happens in the chapter, how well it is written, and whether or not it is relevant to the plot

2. Overall Plot Notes

these also happen while you’re reading over your WIP

I usually made them in-between sections of chapters, but some I made while reading

these include things you’d like to add/change/remove from the plot

3. Analysis (Note: This is the most important part! The whole point of an edit notebook is to figure out how much editing you actually have to do. I sort these into different “levels.”)

Novel-Level: If all your notes say “delete scene,” “scrap,” “poorly written,” “unecessary” etc., then you’re probably looking at a full-on rewrite. Pull on your big-boy pants, grab a cup of coffee, and start re-plotting. 

Chapter-Level: If your notes are less about how bad the plot is and more about how bad the writing quality is, then your revisions should focus more on pacing, the order of your scenes, point of view, and rewriting/recrafting scenes to make them better. 

Line-Level: If the plot is flawless, there aren’t any plot holes or dull moments to be accounted for, just grammar/sentence structure problems, then this is when you print out your novel and go through it with a red pen. 

Of course, there are steps in-between, and sometimes you’ll spend several drafts in one level. But in general, this is what you should be looking for!

4. Redrafting (Especially important when making novel-level edits, which is probably what you’re dealing with when you have a first draft)

list possible scene ideas, brainstorm

try to write out your new plot, or at least the “tentpole” moments (the important events) 

from there, fill in what goes in-between the major events

remember, you can’t really know if it works or not until you actually write it!

5. Reoutlining

I like to make a summary sheet (below the cut), which ideally includes your major plot points, major flashbacks, subplots, symbols, conflicts, resolutions, and the story arc (as well as anything else you want to keep track of) 

plot out timelines/arcs for characters

basically do whatever you would normally do before you begin writing something new. Except, this isn’t new! You know what you’re doing and where you’re going this time. You got this.

Nah. With song covers, many change the pronouns. There’s only a few that don’t. It’s different when it just came on the radio, I think. The again, I’m pan-ace so I wouldn’t know. There’s always speculation if you don’t change the pronouns (see: BTS). 

The Best Thing About Being Bi

Is that you can sing virtually any love song and not have to change the pronouns. 

Share this as much as you can everyone!

You know, just because you’re male doesn’t mean you can treat women like they don’t matter

10 Things I Hate About You (1999) dir. Gil Junger

I feel like I should just add on to this with a not-really-related fact that someone is going to have to clarify. I read a long time ago(during a time when I had the want to actually do stuff instead of just sleep, blow off online school, almost ignore my homework, eat ice cream and watch tele while saying “fuck you” to the world) that, somewhere not in the states, they stopped treating addiction like a crime and more like something that needed to be helped, like a mental disorder or something. If you had a certain amount, then you would meet with two people, I don’t remember what they were. A social worker and a lawyer, maybe. This is why I need someone to fill in the ever present blanks. The drug rate or whatever dropped astoundingly.

I’m curious...

reblog if what jkr says is no longer canon to you 

I’m tempted to say Ash but I don’t know. He’s supposed to be more soft but I love it when the soft one has repressed anger. Even though it’s a sort of over done trope.  But I digress.   The theme really makes it possible for all of them to have repressed anger. Though I think Ash would be the one who doesn’t realise it the most. 

tag the oc who has a lot of repressed anger and doesn’t realize it yet

“like blowing bubbles”

That’s gay. 

do magical kids get yearbooks??? this was such a great excuse to draw 16 portraits
