honestly, cars, personal transportation, being the main mode of transportation is the biggest blight on society. the space wasted on parking lots. traffic. the fact that, we’re gonna run out of the shit that fuels these fuckers one day. the fact that everything is so spaced out now you HAVE to have a car if you want to do anything. the fact that they make up 1/5th of all carbon dumped out each year. I don’t know how to put into words just how much of a waste cars are. Parking structures are big disgusting concrete blocks with nothing of value in their architecture, just breaking the skyline with ugliness.
Maintenance on a car is the worst, you basically have to sell your blood if you ever wanna fix anything wrong with your car. Car insurance is mandatory which, if you’re poor, well fuck you, die I guess.
32 people fit into 32 cars on a United States road, but a trolley car with one driver, can hold 32 people, and probably more, thus resulting in less room used for road space, less room used for parking lots, less space used in general, and we can actually return to a period of life where the streets were where people walked.
break up your paragraphs. big paragraphs are scary, your readers will get scared
fuuuuck epithets. “the other man got up” “the taller woman sat down” “the blonde walked away” nahhh. call them by their names or rework the sentence. you can do so much better than this (exception: if the reader doesn’t know the character(s) you’re referring to yet, it’s a-okay to refer to them by an identifying trait)
blunette is not a thing
new speaker, new paragraph. please.
“said” is such a great word. use it. make sweet love to it. but don’t kill it
use “said” more than you use synonyms for it. that way the use of synonyms gets more exciting. getting a sudden description of how a character is saying something (screaming, mumbling, sighing) is more interesting that way.
if your summary says “I suck at summaries” or “story better than summary” you’re turning off the reader, my dude. your summary is supposed to be your hook. you gotta own it, just like you’re gonna own the story they’re about to read
follow long sentences w short ones and short ones w long ones. same goes for paragraphs
your writing is always better than you think it is. you just think it’s bad because the story’s always gonna be predicable to the one who’s writing it
i love u guys keep on trucking
