Text of the page (random words):
o works as a thesaurus very similar to one look but also includes search options for words that rhyme words that contain a specific letter or are a specific length different word forms sentences with a specific word etc etc it s like thesaurus for coming up with ideas word cloud when i need to inspire a new idea i write down all the things i m interested in hauntings academia lesbians etc and put them into a word cloud to shuffle them next to each other sometimes seeing a concept in a new context can spark new ideas wwf discord this is my discord channel shameless plug for when you need to brainstorm off other people but don t have anyone irl to talk to we re also happy to read and give feedback on writing answer writing questions or just chat for visualizing places and characters pinterest pinterest can at times be a bit too sterile for my tastes but if you use the right words you can find more realistic photos of places for example adding aesthetic after basically any word will bring up a more broad collection of photos to help you flesh out places this is also a great way to find photos of people and fashion to help visualize characters i m bad at describing clothes so i usually collect photos of outfits to help me know what my characters are wearing searching up character inspiration will collect more interesting photos and drawings of people who might not exactly be of our world however to make pinterest not show you ai results you have to go into your settings and check the reduce ai box luckily it does mostly work death to stock like pinterest but completely ai free hooray only drawback is that you have to pay a monthly subscription about 20 cad cosmos very similar to pinterest but slightly more artsy i m not super familiar with this one but i believe all the photos are human and you can save them and create collections with a free account dupe photos royalty free stock image site with very pinterest core photos minecraft if you haven t built your entire fictional city in minecraft instead of writing why not it s fun the sims this one is dual purpose because you can not only create your characters in create a sim but you can design their houses if you really want to go for it you can bulldoze all the lots in your town and build your world from scratch hero forge this character creator is intended for making d d minis so it has more fantasy like options over the sims if your characters are a bit out of this world house plans com i was introduced to this resource through the comments on this post and it has quickly become one of my favourite things to use if you struggle with the layout of buildings this site lets you choose beds baths sq ft etc and will show you house plans created by designers that most closely match your specs you can also search by style instead if you re more interested in the aesthetics for checking grammar grammar girl easy to follow definitions and examples and if you learn better by listening every article comes with a podcast to follow along with instead grammar monster this one is my favourite for checking grammar rules because there s tons of examples in graphics that helps for any situation reedsy among other things reedsy can connect you to professional editors within your budget for writing advice one stop for writers this one was recommended from my discord channel and has all sorts of tutorials and resources for the writing craft my blog directory another shameless plug but if you need writing advice on something specific you can search through my directory to see if it s there if it isn t you can always send me an ask about it for an alternative to google docs ellipsus think google docs but without ai yay scrivener a more comprehensive writing software created specifically for writers however there is a one time payment to use 80 cad will update this list with any more suggestions or resources i discover thanks to everyone for your recs writingwithfolklore just updated with some of the recs you ve all been sending in thanks for your suggestions 13 626 notes resources lost in eriador 1774645230 in 2026 remember how good writing feels remember how satsfying it is to get your characters to the point you have been dying to get to where they will experience the love fear relief or whatever the feeling you want to bring to life may be let this year be the year of writing prgress and of satisfactory endings 61 421 notes encouragement yeah for real teaboot 1774558833 not pertinent to anything in particular but i do think it s kinda weird that we keep depicting cavemen in media crawling around on all fours covered in dirt with tangled matted hair speaking in broken cobbled together toddler language when like they were us like literally genetically they were us just like a while ago like would you trust a tv caveman with a baby probably not a real life caveman though i think they d be at least okay at it sheilikhal this is actually really important and comes up in anthropology classes all the time as long as homo sapiens have existed we have had the same emotional and mental capacity as you and i do today you nailed it they were us even neaderthals existed alongside and had offspring with homo sapiens for many thousands of years there s much evidence that cavemen would have had complex spoken language culture learned information passed down symbolic interpretation and i think they most certainly would have been able to handle holding a baby in fact i have my suspicisions that an ancient homo sapiens mother may be a more present attentive and knowledgable mom than i could be today do not let media trick you into believing we are the pinnacle of humanity unilinial evolution theory google it quick i beg is bunk garbage and the root of so much evil we ve been human for a long long time and we are not inherently better than all those who came before fresne999 one the most profound experiences of my life was visiting font de gaume which has 12 thousand year old paintings they use a technique where the horses appeared to run across the wall when seen in flickering firelight there was a bison the wall staring at us with such attitude i could practically hear him i had the most profound feeling of those ancient artists reaching forward to lay their hands on my shoulders to say this was my world it was a profoundly moving experience some years later i went to the orkney islands where we visited a tiny family run museum of artifacts from the chambered tomb at the other end of the farm they handed me a pestle once held by some neolithci human they d worn groves where the thumb and forefinger would be for better grip cymbie8 one time in a french history class my teacher randomly at the end of the class had all of us draw a sketch of a horse and we were all like okay at the beginning of the next class my teacher showed us a cave painting of a horse and then he showed all of our horses which he had scanned and put into the presentation he then pointed out all the ways that our horses looked similar to the prehistoric horse same features drawn from the same angle etc and then he asked us isn t it cool that you draw horses the same way as someone who lived 20 000 years ago yeah that stuck with me for a while catgirlthecrazy in spain there s a cave full of ancient ice age era drawings of bison and reindeer and other animals of that period and one small section of chaotic scribbles just a little away from everything else these scribblesv were so incomprehensible they were originally just called the panel of enigmatic signs until it occurred to someone that drawings only three feet off the ground probably weren t made by adults scientists are now pretty sure the scribbles were made by kids ages 3 6 more or less on their own the adult cave artists were probably doing what any modern parent might do when they want to keep small children out of their hair for awhile they gave the kids some drawing tools of their own and a small section of wall to work on out of the way but still close enough to keep an eye on them and let them have at it what s most charming about the whole thing is the way the cave scribbles look exactly like what you d find on the wall of a preschool today artistic styles vary widely across different times and cultures but child development is as near to a universal human experience as it gets mikkeneko wisher made detailed 3d scans of the drawings which helped her understand the uneven pressure applied to the charcoal and the direction the lines were drawn the team then compared the panel s composition with age appropriate artistic efforts by modern children kids across cultures go through the same developmental stages which influence their physical ability to draw until about the age of 6 amir notes the team compared the ancient art with the developmental stages exhibited by modern children the furiously scribbled circles and push pull lines typical of 3 year olds just learning to control their bodies for example or the wobbly right angled figures of slightly older kids beginning to master fine motor skills both are apparent in the cave superimposed on each other as though two or more kids were drawing at once that s a clue the las monedas marks were likely made by siblings or a mixed age play group within the sphere of safety around adults but also within their own space says co author felix riede an aarhus archaeologist adults at las monedas would have been aware of what the kids were doing and presumably had lit fires or torches without ample firelight the cave is pitch black 109 653 notes history arcandoria archive 1774472430 crossposting from bsky glad i stopped using spotify when i did and that i unlinked

sideblog on mobile so when you block someone using the block button they re only prevented from seeing your main blog they could still hypothetically see things you post from a side blog if you want to stop them from engaging with your sideblog you have to block them from that sideblog as well this is easily done if you scroll tumblr with a computer but unfortunately it can t be done on the mobile app however if you don t have access to a computer it can still be done on mobile open up your phone s browser safari firefox chrome etc and navigate to https www tumblr com if the browser asks

i was doing my ma program i typed up a guide to writing query letters it s the post from this blog that i m most proud of a thorough step by step guide that combines days and weeks of research and dozens of sources into a neatly packaged 1 800 word post and i have to admit i didn t write it for tumblr i needed to write a query letter myself for a publishing class and my post was little more than compiled homework notes saved as a tumblr post for posterity i ve actually had pieces of this in my drafts for years but now i actually have to write a synopsis and i m piling up the research so i thought it was finally time for the sister to my query post to be published here but first what is a synopsis a synopsis is a 1 2 page summary of the events that transpire in a book either proposed or already written it s used to give people who haven t read your book a quick overview so they know the story that s being told in the book without having to read it when is a synopsis necessary some literary agents request synopses along with query letters more often they re used slightly later on in a writer s career when they have an agent or an editor and they need to submit a proposal for a new idea or project a synopsis can also be used later on in situations that don t involve the author for instance when an editor pitches the book to the marketing and publicity team who may not have time to read every book they re working on unlike a query letter the book doesn t necessarily have to be written when you re submitting its synopsis basic style the job of a synopsis is to lay out the story with little fuss and no frills they let the person you re pitching know what they re going to find in that giant stack of pages on their desk or in that obscenely long word document or else in the word doc they ll eventually receive most professional synopses follow these rules they re told in third person they re told in present tense characters names are capslocked at first mention they are double spaced they tend to avoid descriptions longer than this sentence they focus on the central conflict and the protagonist s emotional journey they spoil the ending they should be 500 words or less that is 1 page single spaced 2 pages double spaced how to write your synopsis the plot writing your synopsis you have one goal to tell a 50 000 100 000 word story in 500 words it can be a little difficult to do this right a great way to do this is to identify the key turning points in your protagonist s story do you remember those little plot roller coasters you d make in elementary school they d usually be pointy witch s hat shaped things labeled with the terms beginning rising action climax falling action and resolution those turning points are the events you should be including in your synopsis this is the structure you want to emphasize to your reader you want to make abundantly clear that your story works like a story that the events of your book have a beginning a middle and an end that there s an intriguing beginning an exciting climax a satisfying conclusion you don t want to just list out the events of your novel but highlight the function of those events x moment is important because it s the inciting incident the moment that takes the protagonist from their normal life and throws them into the story there are tons of great story roadmaps out there that go into more specific story elements the hero s journey is the most famous example of a detailed and mostly universal story structure there s also the three act structure that s famous among screenwriters find a structure that fits your story the best and use that to identify the events of your story that need to make it into your synopsis i ll link to different sources at the bottom of this post that will give you variations of story structure if you can correlate key scenes in your novel to the descriptions of these plot points you ll find an easy roadmap to navigating the many events of outlining your novel your protagonist s journey your protagonist is the heart of your story and should be the heart of the synopsis too the protagonist s emotional journey may not string all of these plot points together but it s going to be what makes them matter to the reader the human element of y...
