PLEASE REBLOG | Tumblr suppresses posts with links :/

When you begin a story that is heavy with technical detail that must be checked for accuracy, the most efficient way of going about it is approaching the first draft with a general sense of the topic. Then, as you write more and more, keep note of details you don’t have or facts you need to find. When you reach the second and third drafts, turn that general idea into specific detail. You’ll know what you need to know at that point, and you won’t waste valuable time doing unnecessary research instead of revising.
Hoard. Your. Sources. Not only so you can cite them to any editors or beta-readers whose knowledge may conflict with what you’ve researched, but so you can refer back to them if you decide to elaborate on the part of the story that required that information in the first place. Always keep a list of links in a document with the specific information you’ve gleaned from it, listed in a way where you can easily navigate and revisit sources and information.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

You try to leave, over and over, but whenever you’re away you get sicker and sicker, wasting away; it only stops when you come home. This Land owns you, flesh and blood, body and soul.
Every day you commute to the nearest city for work, every night the croft in the distance glows with light and activity… that croft has been empty for over 200 years.
When hiking it’s important that you never leave your tent at night; the sounds of battle on the wind are said to be an illusion, but the glens smell bloody first thing in the morning.
The woodlands near your house seem to change entirely with the seasons; if you step off of the path the hairs on the back of your neck begin to rise.
That stump that looks like an empty chair? Don’t sit on it.
When walking home by the river you see an old woman in the streetlights, washing clothes in the river. As you draw near you recognise your jacket - it’s saturated in blood.
New Years Eve is a dangerous night, that’s why we flock together to drink and sing and dance - don’t leave before the bells, and if you do, never look behind you.
Your house is older than your bloodline. When it groans in the night stay very still - stone doesn’t creak, remember?
If you find silver coins in the hills don’t take them; bury them with a drop of your blood and don’t look back. Put a hill or running water between you and it before you sleep.
If you find an empty campfire be wary; ask before you sit, eat nothing that isn’t yours, and leave a little for the patron.
The glens may look small on the map, but whole armies have disappeared into them without a trace; close your ears to the voices of the earth when you walk here. Remember you are mortal.
Not all Celts were warriors, but the peaceful passed on long ago; do not treat with the dead unless you understand their ways - there are no noble savages here.
Where the North Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean you can see the patterns of fate in the sea foam - do not stare unless you are prepared to know.
The night of midsummer is short and full of trickery; do not sleep in the open.
The hollows of the earth are not meant for you.
