Writing help: how do I wring emotions from my reader like water from a dish rag?
I am finding that my writing is emotionally flat.
That's not always true but it is more often than not.
I will remember what I was thinking and feeling when I wrote a paragraph, but after some time has gone by I'll go back and read it and all I can think is - man, that's dull.

I shamelessly love the new Beauty and the Beast.

I'm alive, really
Some background before I get into recent events

Within days he was suffering pain and fever and had to be hospitalized again. After a course of strong antibiotics, he came home, only to develop a fistula connecting ( Read more... ) -

I'm rewatching episodes of Batman the Animated Series...
...and I think Harley/Ivy was one of my first femships.
Also, one of my first non-canon ships.
Double yay?
