Sometimes, we break through and create awesome stories by asking questions.
Other times, we get a breakthrough because we ask ourselves if we are asking the right questions. When it comes to pacing, this is one of those times.
Pacing isn’t all about action. It’s about making sure that everything you write advances the story, even the quiet moments.
Instead of asking whether a scene is exciting, ask whether a scene is important.
Does it develop the plot?
Does it develop your characters?
If it does one of the above, then it's important and will fit into the pacing of your story. If it's important, that makes it interesting. If it's not important, it will be boring — and that's what pacing is all about.
Okay, I wrote a fanfic of what if Crystal of all protagonists fell into the Distortion World and became best buds with Giratina by baking the dragon poffuns, but I never thought of would have happen AFTER Crystal went home.
This is the perfect image. Giratina missed the poffens so much that the dragon had to learn to bake poffens.
Multi tasking.
BLURB:
Instead of Deepnest, the Knight went up through the City of Tears to escape. What would happen but being found and adopted by none other than the Watcher himself.
Tell me, what happens now? After all, the Knight has a twin in the White Palace down below....

A compilation of stuff I know about drawing Asian faces and Asian culture! I feel like many “How-To-Draw” tutorials often default to European faces and are not really helpful when drawing people of other races. So I thought I’d put this together in case anyone is interested! Feel free to share this guide and shoot me questions if you have any! I’m by no means an expert, I just know a few things from drawing experience and from my own cultural background.
Awesome job OP.
Please don't mind me asking I keep this for future reference.
Hollow Knight food concept art I’ve done this before, but I wanted to go into more depth on the processes and ingredients used
I’m slowly amassing the ingredients needed to bake a cake
*Sees adorable headcanons that Baby Hornet was a biter and declared Uncle Lurien to be her favorite chew toy.*
Me: "Ahh...that's so cute. I should write that sometime."
Lurien: "How about please no?!?!"
Me: "You'll survive! Besides, it will give you a resistant to spider vemon. "
*After some time, decides that Blue Morpho Butterfly would be perfect for Lurien. Makes him one.*
*Finds out that Blue Morpho Butterflies are poisonous. *
Me: "Wait? What?!"
*Doubles checks that fact. Finds out that almost all animals avoid Blue Morphos after eating one due to the butterfly being quite deadly thanks to poison.*
*Notes it says quite deadly.*
*Doubles checks size of said animals. *
*They're like small mammals and birds, quite a few sizes bigger than Lurien. *
*Expect for the dumb human who swallowed a Blue Morpho.*
*Checks Hornet's size again, who is many sizes SMALLER than Lurien.*
*Realizes that Hornet is 100% teething toddler who sees everything as a chew toy and can't control her vemon yet.*
Me and Lurien: "Oh no. "

Me with Lurien the Watcher being a 3-D character. When I started writing/drawing Lurien fanfics, he was usually seen as a one-note simp or Herrah's personal punching bag. Years later, things have gotten better now on Ao3.
I should probably make some TallstarXReena fanship too now that I think about it.
When your faves barely have any content
Remember when I said this?
Finally finished and I'm worried about how you all will take it. Oh well. At least I got it somewhat edited.
AND Lurien's essay is now 45 pages AND I discovered a secret room that I thought was made up by the fans. Goodness gracious Lurien, WHY!!!!
Anyway...expect the next part to "What's up with the Dreamers' Houses?" really soon!
Lurien had to go hide more stuff inside his Spire. His essay is now 35 pages and counting. It might take a bit before the next part is up.
While I'm writing the next part, you all can go look inside his Spire and see if you can discover the really weird thing for yourself.
