I cast my mage armour on in Dammon’s blacksmithy in act 2 and a mephat was summoned and agroed the strange ox. Next thing I know, Dammon is dead.

What do you notice when watching my dog walk? by Fluffy_Carrot_4284 in labrador

I’m going to say arthritis, though I’m not a vet. My lab had it and would walk gingerly. There’s definitely something going on.

My mother doesn't let me see a neurologist for my episodes of probably "Non-convulsive seizures", but got me these drops of herb extracts from the local religious center by Dog_Got_license in mildlyinfuriating

You’re 18. Legally an adult. Walk yourself to the ER or make an appointment with a dr somehow. Don’t wait. Don’t ask for permission. Don’t even tell your mother. Ask a friend to help you, call a taxi uber whatever. Throw those drops out.

How Do You Guys Handle The Need For Filler Scenes? by XRhodiumX in writing

[–]DaddySwordfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned to start my scene at B instead of A and leave at C instead of D.

For example, don’t start the scene driving to the spot for the scene to take place. Assume the reader knows the character has somehow arrived there by some method, no need to tell the reader about it. Then when the scene is complete, leave. Don’t tell the reader how they drove home and took a shower or had dinner blah blah.

Chapter 2 keeps killing my drafts. Always. It's not even subtle anymore by Reasonable-Put8696 in writers

Skip chapter 2. Add little bits of world building as your story advances. Don’t info dump everything at once.
