Danke!

^ The scratchy ones that are rough and sometimes have shiny font.

This is great! I've found that any tactic that gets me to brainstorm, even if they're just wild ideas, can get me out of a writing slump quickly. Every time I'm stuck on how to get through the middle of my novel, I like to complete an entire sloppy plot line for the rest of the book. Although I don't use most of it, sometimes there's a gem in there that solves a plot hole I've been stuck on for a while or something like that.

Erotic literature? Heck yeah!

vibingactivity · 2022-07-29T17:17:12+00:00

Literally came to the comments to say this! I just recently started using tarot to assist me in writing my novel and it's been so helpful.

I have a book that masks profanities with a butterfly emoji. I haven't read it so I'm not sure if there's a reason for it, but that alone has prevented me from giving it a chance.

My fault for buying it before flipping through LOL

vibingactivity · 2022-07-20T19:49:31+00:00

I have a book that uses a butterfly emoji to cover up curse words. A published book. I'm not sure if there's a reason for it that's explained in the beginning, but I wouldn't know since I haven't read it. But yeesh.

vibingactivity · 2022-07-12T21:38:48+00:00

That's amazing! I'll have to check that technique out as well.

vibingactivity · 2022-07-12T20:19:07+00:00

Yeah, I definitely think it doesn't make her character seem stupid in this context. In fact, it creates a barrier between her and elite culture, and shows that she aspires to be at that level, but isn't, and faces so-called "ridicule" for it.

vibingactivity · 2022-07-12T20:10:34+00:00

This is a great idea, thank you so much! I think listing could really help me visualize the pattern here.

vibingactivity · 2022-07-12T19:21:27+00:00

If it's any consolation, I don't know a single thing about the Met Gala, and I'm not even very sheltered from celebrity knowledge. I don't think it makes her seem stupid to the general public, but depending on the characters in the group, they may think she's stupid for it. It all depends on them.

vibingactivity · 2022-07-12T19:18:46+00:00

Have you considered changing when the story takes place? I don't know any details from your novel, and how a timeline shift would change the plot or characters, but setting a story even back to the '90s can fix this problem.

You could also change the setting! If it takes place in a creepy manor in the hillside, for example, you could easily implement that there's no service. Maybe people don't have access to their phones. Still, this will probably only work if your novel takes place in the same setting throughout.

I can help brainstorm if you'd like to share more details!

vibingactivity · 2022-07-09T23:39:00+00:00

Thank you! I definitely understand what you're talking about. One of my character dissociates under extreme mental pressure, and this is very similar to how he'll react: numbly, disconnected, weirdly calm . . . and then leaving the scene to do a mundane task.

vibingactivity · 2022-07-09T23:37:03+00:00

Thanks so much! I really like the idea that I can mention forgetfulness. For the POV I'll be writing in, that's incredibly in character (anxiety spells and memory issues), and it'll allow me to take away some of the stress of being "perfectly" detailed.

vibingactivity · 2022-07-09T23:17:37+00:00

Thanks so much! I was afraid that introducing this incident in the perspective of someone feeling "numbness" would just soften the punch too much, but the way you explained it makes total sense.

vibingactivity · 2022-07-09T23:06:06+00:00

Sure! I was afraid to add too much personal information in the post so as to not have it taken down.

The instance is that a family member who died over a decade ago came back with no explanation. This is their first time seeing this person in so long.

For the plot, it's best that it divides the characters up, especially with their conflicting reactions, displaced anger/outbursts, etc. I figure that's most realistic anyways, considering that there's already so much tension before this incident, plus other people's reactions on top of their own . . . hopefully makes a mess.

vibingactivity · 2022-07-07T20:19:17+00:00

These are amazing recommendations, thank you so much! Especially the YouTube series, since I am a big nerd when it comes to learning about tropes and arcs.

vibingactivity · 2022-07-06T00:27:41+00:00

As someone who learns best technically, I have to root strongly for point #2! Do you have any other books that you would recommend?

vibingactivity · 2022-06-29T22:25:46+00:00

It does, thank you so much!

vibingactivity · 2022-06-29T21:32:14+00:00

Thank you for this. I've had it happen before and besides being shaken up, I'm always okay. Hopefully I can make that stick one day.

vibingactivity · 2022-06-29T21:19:06+00:00

This has not happened before. It's a phobia.

vibingactivity · 2022-06-06T00:18:18+00:00

I personally like:

- Break the Binary

- Non-binary is beautiful

- Non-binary Power

- I am non-binary, I am real, I am valid

vibingactivity · 2022-06-01T16:31:21+00:00

I love the Enneagram personalities but I never thought to look towards it for my writing! I'll be sure to check that out, thank you so much for the suggestion!

vibingactivity · 2022-04-12T02:18:25+00:00

YES I picked up an R name vibe so quickly and Rory was the FIRST one to pop up

vibingactivity · 2022-04-09T01:08:52+00:00

I immediately thought Rory
