no plot = no conflict = no decisions = no character traits = no character = no story/novel = reader has no role in life = reader dies = apocalypse = death = KABOOM GOES EARTH

I CHOKED ON AIR this is a masterpiece

thank you
bows

lternately: no plot = no conflict = no decisions = no character traits = no character = no story/novel = writer has o role in life = writer dies of boredom = apocalypse = death = KABOOM GOES EARTH

THATS EVEN BETTER, thats a whole mood

it is

ugh speaking of a dying writer how do we do the word thing? like wut r werds

i talk to myself
A LOT
baskically telling myself the story as i wold write it
and then i come to write it and i just sit there like HOW DO I DO THIS
i think i needa just record myself one of these days and write down the transcript in a doc.

haha I record my brainstorming sessions sometimes. it doesn't help as much as i wish it did but it does a little

I suck at character intros and slower scenes- got any tips?

hahahahaaaaaaaa

pats on back

find any help, send it my way, mkay?

NOT LAUGHING AT YOU. LAUGHING AT RELATABLE.

ah ha big mood :P

ooh okay what's the first thing you think of then I say Medieval port city?

my life is big mood

port? like, boat port?

lol
yeah like a harbor city.
big boat :P

then i'd think medieval venice?
is that a thing?

uh… maybe?
idk
I ask cause my characters stop in a port town for a little bit before boarding a ship to cross to another country. I just need something for them to do (even if it isnt much) and a way to intro the character taht offers them passage

uhhh… BUY MANGOES

almost choked on my teaaaaaaa
also i asked the Google, apparently Venice was a thing lol

thou art welcomeeeeeee

or a durian (world's stinkiest fruit. taste good. muy stinky, even through plastic cling wrap) explodes/falls/whatever, enough to make it ~release the stink~

oh geez lol
ew!

hm… maybe I'll have my main character complain about the smell of fish

i see that and i be like: NO. DURIAN. NOW.

monkeys love em!

chaotic bazaar and wallet/satchel/whatever gets stolen

(i have experience with that!)

OOH that's good! plus that gives me a way to intro that one dude! like maybe he helps them!
YUSSS

i was thinking he was the thief, but okay

uh
so
if ya need help with what a bazaar looks/feels/smells like, i have been to many
mid east and asian
so i can prolly help

oh lol
he's too much of a cinnamon roll
oh cool! I am intrigued :)

the cinnamon roll dude is like a sailor tho, so maybe one of his crewmates is a kleptomaniac and he's just like "really, dude"

guess what?
monkeys are better at stealing things than humans are
true fact
especially cameras that belonged to your dad
