HEY WRITER FRIENDS

my mom’s friend: you don’t want kids? my kids don’t want kids either. what’s wrong with you?

me: I am responsible for the residency and daily lives of some 37 trillion cells Deborah, not including the survival of innumerable microbes and the maintenance of the complexly constructed biome with which they inhabit. I am a very busy human Deborah, my schedule is a bit full, and I don’t have the attention to spare for the well-being of another complex multi-cellular organism. 

Step 1: Where Do They Come From?

Find a general biome that fits what you envision for this culture. If appropriate, make up your own. You want to focus on how plentiful the water is and where it is, what food sources there are, and what natural resources (wood, iron, reeds, etc.) are available. You’ll also want to look into natural structures like caves or cliffs, and common weather phenomenon like hurricanes or droughts.

If you’re writing a premodern culture with few outside influences, you could stop here, since location pretty much gives you everything you could want. The local vegetation and weather patterns will dictate how they build houses. The natural phenomenon will be explained by religion. The availability of water and food/arable soil/animals that could be domesticated will determine if they are nomadic or not. Their natural resources will determine how quickly technology progresses.

original theory: succubi are always women, incubi are always men 

facts: in fact succubus comes from the latin word “succubare” which means “to lie under” and incubus comes from the latin word “incubare” which means “to lie on”

new improved theory: incubi are always tops and succubi are always bottoms. gender doesn’t matter at all.

Anonymous asked: One piece of advice I hear given is to read books to learn how to write. How do I do that?

Steve Rogers did, in fact, realize that something was off when he saw the outline of the woman’s odd bra (a push-up bra, he would later learn), but being an officer and a gentleman, he said that it was the game that gave the future away.
