Hello, dear followers~ ♥︎
Recently I got a bunch of questions about the difference between Showing & Telling, so I thought that I would summarize my thoughts on the subject as a slideshow!
Of course, those of you who have been following my blog for ages can guess my thoughts about this ‘Show VS Tell’ debacle. Personally, I feel that Telling (the act of Summarizing) gets a reputation for being a lesser tool— which I disagree with greatly. Show and Tell are both important tools of the Writer’s Tool-Box, and they serve different purposes~ ♥︎

Nuke Map is not fun to play with
The good news is that if a nuclear bomb strikes downtown Indianapolis, I will only get third degree burns all over my body instead of dying straight away.
When I lived in Washington DC, one of the things that comforted me was that I only lived 1.5 miles from the Pentagon, a primary target, and would therefore be completely vaporized in less than half a second in the event of an average-sized nuclear detonation.
The USSR bombs though, holy shit
Reblogging cuz I’m in DC.
Well it could be for writing research?
How do I make a reader care about a character very quickly?
Take away something at the beginning. I saw a comic on Tumblr a long time ago about a woman who discovered she wasn’t real. The comic was short and it was just her inner thoughts. Just a few panels of her inner thoughts were able to make the reader sympathetic because something so integral to her was taken away and now her identity is shattered while everyone around her has something that she doesn’t. Do that to your character. Take something away from them that makes the reader feel bad for them.
It can be difficult to do this with everyday situations unless you show what it was like before that something was taken away. You can show your character in “the everyday world” at the beginning of the story and the inciting incident can happen right away. A common theme that makes readers care for a character is loneliness.
Give them something at the beginning. Or you can do the opposite. Show your character in a situation that makes the reader pity them and then fix it in a way that makes the reader feel happy for them. Again, a common theme for these situations is loneliness. The lonely rejected kid on the playground who is approached by another reject kid is a familiar scene that achieves this.
Introduce an antagonist. If you introduce an antagonist that the reader ends up hating right away, they’ll be more inclined to side with the protagonist.
Make them relatable. It’s quite difficult to make a character that almost anyone can relate to, but you can make a character a good chunk of people relate to from the very beginning. Think about the age of your character and relatable problems that surround that age. For example, identity, individuality, and relationships are important to teenagers. Introducing a character dealing with one of those issues from the very beginning can draw readers within that age group into the story.
Torture your character. Put them in a physically and/or emotionally painful situation at the beginning of the story. The trick is to make the scene honest and genuine enough that the reader wants this character to come out victorious.

Okay, it seems the introvert has finally reached her limit on being social. There’s a really huge chance that I won’t be on the server tonight, so just try to keep me informed about what’s going on, I guess. If you try to message me on Skype (or anywhere else), it’s probably safe to say I won’t respond. I’m just socially exhausted: I need rest.
I’ll hopefully be on tomorrow, if I gather enough energy to converse by then.
You know when you reply to peoples posts, clicking that little speech bubble thing, how do you the reply to other peoples reply as a new post?
okay so you right-click the note in your dash that tells you who replied and what they said (that thing where it appears between the posts on ur dash like “so-and-so liked your post:…” and whatever) and you click “Inspect Element”
now its going to look like your just broke your computer because a bunch of HTML stuff is gonna pop up. you want to highlight the line where it highlights the notification and right-click again. Select “Copy HTML as plain text” (i think) and close out of that Inspect Element crap. Now make a new text post and at the top of the window, like where you can italicize or embolden, there’s a little <HTML> button thing. you want to click that, paste the HTML line you copied into the text post area (It’s gonna look HELLA different from what you originally copied so dont worry about that) and then clickie the <HTML> thing again. it’ll close out of the HTML formatting whatever and you sHOULD see what you’re used to seeing
literally that was a terrible explanation so im sorry if u still cant figure it out there are better instructions with pictures elsewhere probably
Begging for help here
You’re always welcome to RP with the mages and I, for a start. Don’t worry about our “clique,” you’re very welcome around our group. Why else do you think we add you to the Skype calls? c:
As for what RP you’d be in to officially have you back in RPs, I honestly have no idea. Everything in the silo is so story-based and planned out, I don’t know what other people are planning and have no idea myself what I’m gonna do, so it’s a bit difficult figuring out what kind of stuff won’t affect other people’s RPs. I suggest waiting until we get out of the silo? But even then I don’t know when that’s going to be. I can take a guess and say the end of the week, as that was the waiting limit for those who weren’t in the end-arc RP. I’ll come hang out with you in the “can-we-leave-the-silo-already” corner ^u^
