Sir Thats My Emotional Support Story That Ive Been Working On For Five Years That Still Has No Conceivable

sir that’s my emotional support story that I’ve been working on for five years that still has no conceivable plot

WAIT A MINUTE; a checklist for underwriters

(disclaimer: these are suggestions, and i personally find them useful. they may not work or be necessary for you.)

Setup: has the scene been properly contextualized? does the author know why the characters are here/acting this way? Setting: where does this scene take place? it is a new location? is it described thoroughly? what time of day is it? how does this affect the characters? Thoughts: have all the character’s motivations been explained? is there enough internal monologue here to guide the action? what’s going on beneath the surface? Conclusion: has the scene been ended properly? what has changed since the beginning of the scene? is that shown? is there enough setup for the next scene? is the pacing rushed?

yes i was on a good writing streak earlier but i’ve now skidded to a stop because i need to find the perfect name for a kitchen maid who probably never appears again

also seriously if a character isn’t white, i promise your only descriptive options aren’t food words and varying degrees of tan. it’s okay to say brown. pale brown! light brown! golden brown! medium brown! dark brown! deep brown! so many kinds of brown!

BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN
