Me: If I Want To Foreshadow This Well, I Have To Be Subtle.

Me: If I want to foreshadow this well, I have to be subtle.

Also me: The masquerade ball was TO DIE FOR. Evangeline descended the stairs in her BLOOD RED dress, her smile SHARP LIKE A KNIFE. Her entire outfit was a HEART-STOPPER and if LOOKS COULD KILL, everyone would have DIED…to DEATH.

nanowrimo tip #13:

when you’re stuck on a scene, beat writer’s block and increase your count simultaneously by describing the same scene from the point of view of every character and inanimate object present until the block passes

You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.

nanowrimo tip #25:

every time you see a user with a higher word count than you, write them into your story as a soon-to-be corpse or antagonist

write to tell yourself the story

edit to tell others the story
