So true...
Funny is more appropriate, but anyway. Why not, indeed?

A pendant of Buddha in jade offered by my family from my father side when I was born. ^^
*re-reads my own story*: this is some good stuff
*gets to the part where I stopped writing*: WHERE'S THE REST OF IT HOW DO I GET MORE
Brain: You're the author, if you want more you have to write it
Me: *flips tables*

This user believes that fiction tastes and preferences do not dictate moral character
every character’s first line should be an introduction to who they are as a person
even if you only wrote one sentence on a really bad day, that’s still one sentence more than you had yesterday
exercise restraint when using swear words and extra punctuation in order for them to pack a punch when you do use them
if your characters have to kiss to show they’re in love, then they’re not in love
make every scene interesting (or make every scene your favorite scene), otherwise your readers will be just as bored as you
if you’re stuck on a scene, delete the last line you wrote and go in a different direction, or leave in brackets as placeholders
don’t compare your first draft to published books that could be anywhere from 3rd to 103rd drafts
i promise you the story you want to tell can fit into 100k words or less
sometimes the book isn’t working because it’s not ready to be written or you’re not ready to write it yet; let it marinate for a bit so the idea can develop as you become a better writer
a story written in chronological order takes a lot more discipline and is usually easier to understand than a story written with flashbacks
