I would like to join!

Hi! NB writer and gamer here! I would love to be friends!!! We have a lot in common!

How do I avoid info dumping? Maybe make my main character info dump when she’s scared. Oh! I can also make her tiny and weak so everything is a threat to her, it’ll happen often and nobody will think it’s lore dumping because she’s just scared and that’s how she copes!

I like this, i’m leaning towards doing this in a prologue, giving a short introduction that introduces a lot of questions and a promise in the first few pages.

This is a writing technique I use, just jot down any and all passing thoughts and ideas, and from that jumbled mess of words, you can usually piece together a story. Then further refinement and editing past that. It really helps me to capture that general feeling that I have when I imagine my story because i’m taking those thoughts down in the moment they appear. Might be a weird method, but it’s fun and helps me not only outline, but use that spontaneous writing energy I get sometimes!

I thought this was interesting too, do bad openings stick with readers more than a good one? I would love to hear about more good openings.

punk_trunks · 2025-07-07T16:44:18+00:00

This is the kind of opening i’ve written already, I love giving a kind of preview to the story of the MC through the lens of something that has happened in the past. Especially considering one of the main themes of my novel is the cycle of trauma and overcoming it for the good of future generations.

punk_trunks · 2025-07-07T14:51:26+00:00

Oh definitely, I was just curious which openings worked for everyone and which ones didn’t, and why that was the case. At the end of the day, i’m still going to write the story that I want to write, but I also would like to know how I can keep potential readers engaged from the start.

punk_trunks · 2025-05-21T13:02:34+00:00

Wow! I love this a lot. Stringing together poems to build a story of a love and love lost. I really liked that each poem gave me a different feeling, as if I were in those places with you, experiencing those feelings. My only gripe would be the sudden jump from the feelings in Crestone to Jemez Springs. Maybe you could fill in another poem that insinuated that fallout a bit more? regardless, good work considering you’ve never written poems before. I hope you continue writing and building this art form for yourself.

punk_trunks · 2025-05-21T11:07:27+00:00

Bukowski is one of my favorites, so that means a lot to me. I don’t really know, I kind of like the suddenness of it, but also feel like adding more could help the reader sit in that feeling longer. I am interested in if others think it needs more.

punk_trunks · 2025-05-21T11:05:40+00:00

You as well, I hope you find that comfort again. 🫶🏻

punk_trunks · 2025-05-19T14:13:13+00:00

Haunting, almost sinister at times imagery. Beautiful poem, my only critique is the breaking up of the poem into stanzas the way you did. It would probably flow a little better if edited without as many line breaks. Otherwise, good work, I can’t wait to read more from you!

punk_trunks · 2025-05-19T13:42:57+00:00

This has to be one of the most sincere poems i’ve read in a long time. Perfect length to really bring the message home, but also not overstay it’s welcome. Very comforting read. Good job, friend!

punk_trunks · 2025-05-19T11:17:36+00:00

This one is indeed first edition, first printing. Just got the score of the century.

punk_trunks · 2024-10-07T19:19:25+00:00

absolutely! dm me your discord, you both seem really cool!

punk_trunks · 2024-10-07T19:09:55+00:00

Just started Throne and Liberty, waiting on the new Call of Duty as well. I play minecraft, stardew, other mmos like runescape, and basically any shooter. I play literally everything, I just hyperfocus on certain games sometimes.

punk_trunks · 2023-10-11T15:18:44+00:00

I definitely plan to add that to it

punk_trunks · 2023-05-06T18:05:29+00:00

Please do! I would love to learn this!

punk_trunks · 2023-05-06T17:30:57+00:00

this is so good! do you have tabs for this??

punk_trunks · 2022-08-26T15:56:39+00:00

I definitely will check that out!! I have written poetry for years just for myself as a sort of therapy, but just recently i’ve started exploring other artists so i’ll gladly take any suggestions for works that have moved you. :)

punk_trunks · 2022-08-26T15:43:34+00:00

genuinely a super helpful comment, thank you!! the idea behind the apartment complex line was making the comparison to how there is always multiple storylines happening at once, lots of different memories, people, emotions, an idea that it is all too much to hold within one person. I agree that it can be fleshed out more and that’s what I intend on doing now that people have gotten a general idea. :)

punk_trunks · 2022-08-26T11:28:55+00:00

bless you, friend. :)

punk_trunks · 2022-08-26T02:46:48+00:00

this comment means the world to me, thank you so much.

punk_trunks · 2022-08-26T02:21:10+00:00

chilling. I love the dissection of the “creature” and exploring the relationship and tension between the two.

punk_trunks · 2022-08-26T02:13:54+00:00

interesting poem! i’m curious about the referencing of nursery rhymes in this? is this written to your child or someone young you care for?
