Yeah. I’m no artist but it does take a while. And it helps to read a lot too. Get a feel for your writing style by seeing how other people write. And even though it’s not really made for this kind of writing, I use Grammarly quite a bit and there is nothing wrong with using an AI website to proofread or offer suggestions…
I happen to be an avid reader so I’ve already got that down lmao-
I’m mostly reading dystopian fiction and high fantasy which just so happen to be my favorite genres to write in
Grammarly is fine for narratives imo! The whole premium errors thing ticks me off, but at the very least it highlights the error- rephrasing the sentence usually gets rid of it. Personal dictionary definitely helps if it keeps trying to correct your fantasy names and such.
I'm kinda up in the air about the Grammarly AI. Sometimes it reminds me of a better word that I just forgot existed, and other times it just rewrites what I have but worse.
You all would have if I would have?

We have a winner folks, someone who probably knows I stole that from Pinterest
Nope- I'm just from the south XD

Ah, right. I’m from the west coast but we still have a lot of “rednecks” here 😂
My family being some of them, but I deviate.
I was born in northwest -ish area, but I grew up in Tennessee.
I now live in the northwest again
Kissing only needs to be super descriptive is you're being spicy with it methinks
WOAH WOAH WOAH!! WOAH!! BACK UP…. WHO TOLD YOU ONLY SURING SPICY MOMENTS
Well those moments do exist and they do tend to be descriptive and I personally don’t see any other scenario other than plot relevance maybe where kissing would be descriptive

1) love the name

If you're not being weirdly sensual about it, you can just say 'they kissed' without describing the extremely specific feelings and stuff it is about. i mean, i don't read a lotta romance, so I might be talking out of my donkey
yea it just bepends on the moment if it an intense moment like this for ex you wouldn't just say:
although this may or may not have been the last moments they would have together he looked into her eyes knowing that this was the last moment that eight of them would ever see one another before death he leaned over and kissed her.
like that just makes it dry in my opinion (I had to stop there or else I would leave yall with a whole quacking story)
I was reading writing prompts and ideas on Pinterest and then WA💥
a scene, a veryvery dramatic scene for House of Cards (the one ive been posting here) popped into my head!

uuhh-
feeling numb/physically cold? overall weakness? Also, some injury-specific conditions could help!
Like, if it's a deep wound, they instinctively try to cover it with a hand? And maybe then the general weakness kicks in, and they can't quite reach?
Idk, I say this as someone who (thankfully) hasn't had any major injuries (yet), so couple grains of salt-
Anyways, writing idiot best friends is SO MUCH FUN why did nobody tell me this
A sudden impact sent him staggering sideways, and the half-fledged thought was gone on the wind.
"C'mon, fish-elbows!" Tommad was beaming as always, though a playful snideness tinted his pale face. "Day's not gettin' any longer!"
Nav returned the bump, knocking an unsuspecting Tommad into a snowbank. The firm crust of the bank crunched beneath Tommad's weight, and he sank into it.
"Fish-elbows?" Nav echoed through a teasing grin. He quirked an eyebrow. "Tha's a new one, deer-ankles."
Tommad righted himself, covering his face as a fit of hysterical giggles overtook him.
"Deer-ankles?" Tommad barked. "Deers doen 'ave ankles!"
"An' fish don't got elbows, neither!"
This is a sibling conversation
Certified sibling conversation - stupid topic, both speakers are dumb, and it's all in good fun
Working on making my dialogue feel more natural because my speaking skills are trash-
Dialogue is my favorite thing to write, next to characters having some extreme bad emotion-
Fight scenes, on the other hand, make me want to cry
See, fight scenes are my bread and butter. Dialogue is ok.
Descriptive scenes gimme the heeby-jeebies
I always start describing too much when it's appearances, colors and light, animals, the sky for whatever reason, but solid settings are a challenge.
Fight scenes paired with dialogue in-between is my absolute favorite. Maybe a little hard to read but I like it
