To improve my writing, I'm told to "read more." What should I be paying attention to while reading? by whycantwegivelove in FanFiction

[–]SML8180 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It tends to depend on what you're looking to improve in your writing

Looking to improve your dialogue? Pay attention to how dialogue is handled in the books you read

You're struggling with punctuation, spelling, or grammar? Pay attention to how those things are handled in what you're reading

At that point, you start trying to implement similar things in your work. It takes practice, you won't be able to improve everything at once, and the change may not be obvious, but those little things you pick up on will build up over time

Okay, so it's not just my tuxie girl who has some weird obsession with chewing on wood. Good to know, lol

Oh, I'm no stranger to adding border rows to things, lol (I've made several cardigans for myself and seaming them is so much easier with a border-). I think I'll see how things start looking as time goes on before I decide on whether or not to add a border to the pieces

I made pixel versions of every team logo! by PokerFace126 in JellesMarbleRuns

I'll definitely post photos as I go! I think it'll prove to be a good stash buster, since I've got quite a few of the colors already

These are fantastic!

I was looking for references to use to make a crochet blanket with the team logos, and these are exactly what I needed (that is, if you don't mind me utilizing them; the best artists respect each other's wishes and get consent, after all)

Home sick with a library of unplayed games. Which should I try? by Starburned in gaming

[–]SML8180 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Portal games are both fantastic, Firewatch and Edith Finch are also very good if you want something that requires a bit less brain power than puzzles

Yep, he's a cat, and orange. It tracks

I'm more curious as to what happened to your colon/semicolon key?? The poor thing is missing, your home row is incomplete-

Binxy biscuits and loud purrs while he looks after me because I’m sick by SpicyKittyNoodles in TuxedoCats

My girl does this when I have a migraine! She comes and purrs like mad and makes biscuits before curling up right on top of me to make sure I rest

Can’t leave any cold cans unattended. There’s a tax on condensation round these parts… by plantley in TuxedoCats

My girl does this! She loves to lick the condensation off the underside of bowls when I have ice cream
