Writing advice from my uni teachers:
If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.
Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.
Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.
Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.
Also From Microsoft’s own FAQ: "Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers. 🤡
Distortions, and ways to see the world

I keep seeing people use this image as a reaction to people's original posts:
Which I think is really incorrect, because with an original post they haven't come up to ur window, u've come up to their window.
So I made this, as a more accurate reaction for original posts:
I just realized that I might need to explain some of the things that I mentioned here. I will do so, just give me a bit, it’s a lot of information. Also, I’m sorry that it took so long, I’m still trying to figure out how this works. That's why I had to write the question, because I don't know how to add the pictures in. Sorry for the inconvienience!
Have an awesome time! Amira Willows

technically bowser’s muzzle has a few more bumps in it but this is a simpler version
you can also use this muzzle for bowser junior if you do it more like a bean or a heart with a round bottom part instead of an apple shape
Why not
