things people do in real world dialogue:

• laugh at their own jokes

• don’t finish/say complete sentences

• interrupt a line of thought with a sudden new one

• say ‘uh’ between words when unsure

• accidentally blend multiple words together, and may start the sentence over again

• repeat filler words such as ‘like’ ‘literally’ ‘really’ ‘anyways’ and ‘i think’

• begin and/or end sentences with phrases such as ‘eh’ and ‘you know’, and may make those phrases into question form to get another’s input

• repeat words/phrases when in an excited state

• words fizzle out upon realizing no one is listening

• repeat themselves when others don’t understand what they’re saying, as well as to get their point across

• reply nonverbally such as hand gestures, facial expressions, random noises, movement, and even silence

Excellent sticky note for dialogue writing in fiction.

All of this. I get a lot of compliments on my dialogue and this list pretty much covers what I do (but some of it, I didn’t even realize I did, lol). I highly recommend reading your dialogue aloud (or imagining it in realtime like a movie scene) to see if it feels natural, which is what I do when editing.

Well, well, well, will you look at that? It’s Pride again.

You know the drill by now. It’s June 1, and suddenly everything from banks to big box stores has slapped a rainbow on their logo. Rainbow capitalism knows how to target LGBTQIA+ customers. For exactly 30 days of the year. How quaint.

Of course, it’s nice to make things bright, and colorful, and pretty. But it’s meaningless if that’s all it is.

Pride should be about uplifting and celebrating you, the community. And it should be year-round, not just 8.22% of the year. So, we’re signal-boosting your posts that celebrate, support, and honor all genders and sexualities over here. Follow to keep your dashboard lovely and gay as hell all year round.

And, yes, we’re also making a bit of a fuss right here on @celebrate (apparently, we just can’t help ourselves). So if you’re interested in talking about what Pride means to you or want to celebrate Pride but don’t know how to go about it this year, we made a fun little 30-day Share Your Pride Challenge list. Because you do, in fact, deserve to be celebrated.

Tag your posts with #ShareYourPride if you want to make them a little easier for other people to find. And Tumblr? Happy Pride. We’re glad you’re here.

This looks like a great idea! I think I’ll give it a shot.

Whelp… After today… I’m really not sure of anything anymore.

I’m both horribly afraid and a teensy bit morbidly curious what will happen next.

I’ve read some books that shared a similar plot with the historical insanity that occurred today on Capitol Hill. Watched some movies in this genre too. They’re never really happy stories and the endings are often tear soaked and bloodstained. So I am genuinely unsure of what is going to happen next.

Either way it goes I feel like I’m gonna experience a new level of emotion from it all.

Not sure exactly what emotion it will be as of yet. But its brewing.

It could be a whole new level of Sad located on the emotional spectrum just above “Any sad opening from a Disney movie when you just know the important family member is going to die and you helplessly fall in love with the endearing doomed character even as you watch the foreboding imaginary red timer above their head steadily counting down to the very second they will inevitably perish” and below “That scene in Titanic when the ship is sinking and it suddenly cuts from the rich white privilege panic attack on deck to the sad heartbroken resignation of the lower class stuck deep below as they huddle with their families to quietly accept death together because they know their social standing will not get them a spot on a life boat” on the emotional spectrum.

OR.

And I can’t say this more emphatically, OR It could, instead of some new form of sad, be an entirely different emotion and come as a whole brand spanking new level of mad.

It will be halfway between a new take on “Eating gamma rays for breakfast as an unlikable angry rage monster bellowing monosyllabic words about how angry I am and what destructive actions I’m going to use to do something about it!” And the unmistakable hellfire fury that consumes a person upon stepping full weight down on a Lego brick camouflaged in the misleadingly fibrous carpet flooring and then consequently tripping and stubbing my toe on a nearby piece of furniture.

The world as I know it, from my very limited viewpoint of my American life, has changed. Maybe forever.

I was never happy or pleased with the current president (2 weeks or less to go now depending on how it goes after today) but even when he was lying out his ass I thought he knew the lines he shouldn’t cross and for the most part it seemed that as long as you ignored him and let him scream and throw his tantrum, like the baby he so closely mimics the behavior of, he eventually tires himself out and ultimately falls asleep face down in his Mickey D’s chicken nuggies.

January 20th can’t come fast enough. I just hope this wasn’t the opening act for what is still yet to come on the inauguration day.

So to Mr Almost No Longer President I hoist my own banner…

Thanks to anyone who read this. I appreciate you letting me get that off my chest. Sometimes a bitch just wants to rant for a sec.

You all are the best! Woo!

Stay safe in this weird and whacky time.

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Well, well, well, will you look at that? It’s Pride again.
