This is a fun one!
Always needing correct grammar and punctuation 👀

I find getting things a little wrong sometimes can add character to a narrator (fav reason), a character's speech, or even let me manipulate the flow of a sentence or paragraph. Perfectionism is great, bouncy sentences are better

More of a grammar rule because I don’t particularly know writing rules, but I don’t mind splitting infinitives because 1) it often flows better and 2) if someone calls me on it, it’s an excuse to talk about Latin 😅

It's a toss between "avoid long paragraphs" and "avoid too many adjectives."

I love my long, descriptive paragraphs and my adjectives. Yes, sometimes I put two adjectives together that may even be similar in meaning, and yes, I could cut one of them. But I won't. It's my ~style~! 😎

I don't know if it's a *rule*, really, but I've been told that when i write a story, i should only write on the one book at a time, only ever concentrate on that. I can't, I'm thinking of the future sequels and adding bits in here and there and laying the groundwork for them.

Show, Don't Tell

It's misunderstood by most prose writers, what its actual history is, and what the term really means. To me, story is about how readers feel, not how great the words the writer uses.

So I do my best to show AND tell

I tend to break sentence structure rules if a mood or scene calls for it.
To represent fleeting thoughts/musings or to depict high tension, I'll sometimes have really short staccato sentences.
Or sometimes there will be a stream of consciousness depicted as a run-on.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

I want to say about 8 years ago now, I was stuck writing through a section of a story I was working on where the main character was treated as crazy when he was actually seeing an evil entity.

And one of my closest friends to this day suggested I randomly throw in a purple llama.

So... one of my characters, Cryognellia, has the weirdly overpowered ability, and the inspiration is even stranger.

She has honey-kinesis. Basically able to perform hydrokinesis but with honey instead. That combined with her Insectopathy...

I've had random thoughts like "bowling balls are cool colors" then written characters. I am a weird lil pantser.

This giant needle I found in my grandma’s sewing box! I know probably leather workers are familiar with that size but to me, who had only ever seen sewing needles, I was like 😲

And then it ended up inspiring like 50% of the magic system in my book + several plot points & a tragic backstory

Exterior setting descriptions. I miss them a lot. Town and street stuff.

And clothes, actually. It's fun detailing how people are dressed, it's good for characterization, but I don't use it as much as I should.

I tend to just launch into scenes at a point that isn’t optimal for describing the surroundings and I have to go back and figure out how to work that in. It’s not the best approach from that perspective.
