Oooh, oooh, ooh. ADVICE TIME! Okay, so, first of all, what sort of thing do you overuse? If it's the word 'said', then that's perfectly fine. You don't need other words unless it will enhance the scene. Or try describing their action instead of just 'he said/she said'. I used to do the same thing by always describing a character's expression with their eyes, until my friend pointed it out and I stopped doing so. Sometimes more creative words aren't what you need. My camp did this activity where we take a sentence, such as...

'It was a cool and sunny day out, with flowers blooming and a soft breeze'.

You break it up into 'sections' like...

'It was a cool and sunny day out/ with flowers blooming/ and / a soft breeze.'

Then you just rearrange the order until you get something that sounds better. Such as....

'With flowers blooming and a soft breeze, it was a cool and sunny day out.'

That's not a perfect example, but you get the idea, right?

...I really want to make a writing advice blog now...

When people watch me as I'm doing anything, it bothers me. Like if I'm writing and someone is watching me, it's like...please stop...

It's okay xD

I haven't finished the Varoline page yet...

Try FFN. I can always promote it when I post new chapters of Classified, and I've gotten a lot of traffic so far.

Hmmm... what I tend to do is sort of wing it. Like, get a vague idea of what sort of ending you want or at least where the ending will take place, and then when you get closer you should have an idea of how to actually end it. That's how it works with me, at least, even with short stories.

Ooh yeah, that can be a problem. Not sure how to help you with this one, except maybe make like a plot map chart thing, you know with like the climax and conclusion and all that, and maybe do it for all the plots and try and figure out how to get it to all work together?

I'm actually having Amber in mine too xD Except I know how she gets there. :p

I do that all the time. Well, I usually will work on it, but I'll often rush and try to be as short as possible with it.

Eh, POVs aren't that important.

Nah.

I KNOW RIGHT

Eh, that's why it's better to post on FFN I guess.

Lol, at least they're trying...but a new season? BLAH NO.

I was the same way for a while. After a while it'll be a bit easier...maybe.

ME TOO.

Well to be fair shows like Teen Wolf and TVD are teen shows, not kid shows. It's called the Kid's Choice Awards for a reason.

Ehh just think of how good you'll feel when it's over.

No that trailer was great!

Yeah, chat's slow...but at least it's not fast and drama-filled any more. I mean it sucks that people aren't on, but I can't feel too bad about it since I've never loved going on chat anyways, which is why I only went on when asked specifically to go on chat.

Yeah...IK...I mean, one person joined in! But on the other hand, only one person joined in...
