Writer aches
Added 2024-03-14 19:21:01 +0000 UTCIs there anything harder than writing dialogue without saying “says” or tense variations of that? Like that why don’t we have more synonyms words for said???
You can say “declares, proclaims, asserts” but it doesn’t evoke the same feeling as “said.”
There’s only so many ways I can make it engaging without repeating myself :,(((
That’s why I use a cheat and describe what they do with their bodies a lot. Facial expressions and all that. It fills the scene, it adds padding and it also conveys things without characters needing to say what they’re feeling.
Things were easier when we did oral storytelling. Fuck literacy :D
