No idea who needs to hear this. Because I've been writing, professionaly as my job for over a year and this only just clicked for me.

Dialogue does not have to be followed with 'X Said/Told/Yelled etc etc.' You can just move on to an action. IE: "Can't believe you did that!" X dropped to the floor, narrowly avoiding a sword that flew through the air where her throat had been seconds before.

I know for many writers this isn't some grand revelation but maybe it'll cause an epiphany for someone else.

#BRB having an existential crisis about this #hahahHaHAHahaHa definitely shouldnt edit my 500k word book series with this in mind in a hyperfixation daze #i want to bash my head into a wall for being so DUMB for so long #how did i not realize this #it can make dialogue flow so much smoother especially if you have a pet peeve like me about overused words in your own writing #also this is definitely a result of sleep deprivation but for once im not mad about it #i actually discovered something that will improve my writing tremendously #writing #Writer #writer things #writing advice #writer problems #author #fic writing #writing tips

Hi, my dear readers! I just wanted to give y’all some updates about the fic and all that jazz.

FIRST OFF: The story will be diverting from the original game’s plot line. Getting that out of the way first. I’m not going to spill any beans just yet, but I’ve had some mad pet peeves about how the game treated Danse after Blind Betrayal, and on Ao3, reality can be anything I want. Sorry if y’all don’t like that.

Secondly, I’ve been struggling a little bit in real life. I won’t get into detail, as it’s no ones business, save for my own, but it seems that some of you actually enjoyed this thing that I cobbled together on a whim yesteryear, and I’d be lying if I said current events haven’t affected my writing abilities. You may have noticed a fall in quality in the previous few chapters leading up to now, and I do apologize profusely for it.

I will be editing them to make dialogue and whatnot flow a little smoother so newer readers don’t have an aneurysm.

As for new chapters coming in, I’m sorry if updates get to be a tad slow. I’ve got a lot going on and by the time I’m done with all that jazz, at the end of the day, I’m so tired that I just can’t. I’m not going on a hiatus, just don’t expect anything especially quickly from me in the coming weeks. I really don’t want to rush what I have coming up in the fic because, put simply, it’s gonna be fragile. I have poured my heart and soul into this fic, and dammit, I’m not gonna rest until it’s perfect!

I thank you guys for being so patient with me, and I WILL see this fic through because I love it too much to let it rot. Mama just needs to take it easy for a bit, and then we’ll be back on track. Okay? Okay!

I love you all, and I look forward to getting more chapters out to you guys.

(hugs)
