"what's your dream job??" Uhh to have 17 weird little hobbies that I don't have to be good at and hang out with friends. I get money via being the world's specialist little princess
I'm like if a chill girl had the need to control everything around her
Adding small moments of existence to your writing
What I’m talking about is proof of life outside your characters in your world. Not in the sense of ‘talking to the cashier at the checkout’, but things like:
Graffiti etched into a desk your character sits in during an exam
Realising that someone has come along and arranged the cans on the shelf so the labels say something stupid
Dirty vans that have ‘wash me’ written in the dried mud
A coin that has been stuck into a piece of gum on a handrail
Little things that show the world still goes on despite whatever is happening to the characters.
This helps make the world a world, not just a setting. There are other people with other lives doing stupid, funny, dangerous, things that in no way impact the protagonist. You don’t have to dwell on them, they can only be mentioned briefly in passing during the set up of a scene, but it will help create life within the background of the story and give the characters a chance to briefly think about something other than themselves/their situation.
now that spotify wrapped is here, tell me your 3rd, 6th and 9th songs in the tags
i think the answer to more diverse art and media is not to keep going to fancy schools and forcing our way into these fields i think we just need to steal art supplies and tech and squat in buildings and show our own movies and pieces and concerts and everyone pays what they can and no one is turned down for being broke or bad and we just ignore every honor or award show ever
