@Dominaiscna Pretty words are for everyone! Although I've read your posts, I'd say you're rather prolific in pretty words as is~
@Lioness075 Ohhhh, you're so lucky!!! You enjoy that smell on my behalf, please. xD
And I get what you're saying. I'm always trying to change it up, especially since I like to write poetry and I've made it a thing where I try and incorporate a poetic edge to my prose... poetic prose, which is a bit of an oxymoron but that's how I see it. I find that really helps me diversify. Psychology documentaries, you say? I'm actually not really big on reading, although a lot of the more flowery words I use (including atavistic, haha) come from a trilogy of WarHammer 40000 books... not sure if anyone is familiar but the Path of the Renegade series is complete bae to me. And Edgar Allan Poe, he is my senpai. I also find progressive music like Closure in Moscow and the Mars Volta really help as well... plus reading dictionaries! Although I'm probably the only one who does that.
@zCrookedz YES. I would totally help with a FableWood dictionary!!!! I actually have a written vocabulary I keep in my docs, of all the pretty words I find. I would be glad to relinquish it to this purpose!!

Haha, don't ask me to be a teacher. I'm not too great at trying to advise people. xD There usually tends to be more arguments than agreements. :SDominaiscna said:
But I know from personal experience that I learned a lot about writing and roleplaying by simply reading other's posts and striving to write more like them. ^^ My own writing style has formed along the way!

lol, your only 15 right? You have a lot of school to get through and more than enough english classes I am sure. Be a diligent student, and listen to your english teachers. They can be a fountain of knowledge when it comes to learning how to write. So many of the little tricks that I learned for spelling and grammar , and still use to this day, I learned in high school english classesDominaiscna said:
The biggest thing is, KEEP WRITING. The brain and writing skills are no different than a bicep and a push up. Repetition makes them both grow stronger and you as a writer will become better.

I will do so without a problem.GoldenBlight said:
Definitely not a poet here haha. I definitely am better at explicitly describing a scene and building up hype for something as opposed to writing in a fluid and memorable manner.
Yeah, I'm a psychology major in college so I oftentimes find myself watching psychology documentaries. They're eye-opening and are probably the only documentaries you'll ever catch me watching on my own lol.
Never read those books. :S
I absolutely love Edgar Allen Poe! I mean, I don't really read much about him or his works, but I remember studying him among others in high school English and I loved what we learned about him. ^^
I definitely don't read dictionaries in my free time, but I'm sure you know a lot more fun words to use in your writing than I do.
On that note, I actually spent my senior year of high school writing prose for my English teacher. Instead of weekly vocab quizzes, he'd give us prompts and then we'd have to write, at least, a paragraph's worth of a response. I ended up writing a 26-page story throughout the year by using his prompts. At one point, he started giving me individual, specific prompts because he loved reading my really weird, time-traveling story about a werewolf hahaha. Each week brought both of us joy, as I absolutely loved watching his reaction to reading my story excerpts. :3zCrookedz said:lol, your only 15 right?

I like to think that every Rp that you write for makes you stronger in some form or another. New people to talk to, new writing styles to observe, and a new way to go about thinking of how stories should flow. Even if its an Rp that doesn't end well, or end at all, somewhere along the line, you pick up SOMETHING that makes you a better writer for participating.Bolts said:

Right? And in my junior year, I had an English teacher who adored my writing style and everything so she let me do a bunch of prose stuff for my final project. I aced it and she told me to never stop writing.zCrookedz said:

Psh, I was in the choir at my high school and never was a soloist either. Hate being in the spotlight like that and my voice was definitely too weak for something like that. I wouldn't be able to get loud enough lol.Dominaiscna said:
Aww, that's awesome! I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano. T.T While I haven't played any instruments in a while now, I was a clarinetist and percussionist in the band at my high school and junior high. :3

@Baconhands Holy Hell, a WARHAMMER FAN. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY THE CHAOS GODS. But seriously, so hard to find the sort. xD I personally am an avid fan of the Dark Eldar (and harlequins), and am obsessed with anything to do with Khorne. Blood for the Blood God! //although I haven't read the Horus Heresy series yet, and I really should
@Lioness075 Really? Sometimes I consider myself a poet before an author. Because somehow I feel poetry comes the most naturally to me. Although I agree on describing things! Great, great fun.
And high five! I also am completing a psychology degree at university, combined with law although it's a psychologist I'm hoping to practice as.
Edgar Allan Poe is my inspiration. I strive to produce prose like him, and on occasion, I feel like I can! Although his works are just so good, The Pit and The Pendulum, and The Premature Burial are some of the very few literary works that have actually made me cry. Prose that induces emotion like that are just amazing.
Anywho I have uni tomorrow and I wasn't supposed to stay up this late in the first place so I'm going to sleep. Fun chatting and see y'all later!

I love the piano! I picked it up when I was a teenager and tried playing it, unfortunately like most musical instruments, I eventually put it down after only learning a small portion. But the piano is a beautiful instrument and I have been known to listen to classical music just for the piano bits.Dominaiscna said:
