“He felt sad.” “A dark emotion creeps up his back, chilling his blood in the process.” Chat? Do yall think this good? I’ve been working on writing fanfiction, but it keeps sounding bland

But also! Don’t overuse removing ur character or get *too* caught up in the creative verb thing to the point where it’s just flowery. Same rule as “sometimes it’s okay to just use ‘said’”

I think this is a good tip, but if its over used it can give the feeling that the character is disconnected from their surroundings

"he felt a sharp pain explode across his back" 😭😭 even if I was reading a normal chill book, I'm gonna think things escalated 150% and that he actually exploded and that he died 😭🤣

Isn’t this passive va active voice? Am I remembering English Lit class correctly? If so didn’t they tell us not to do this? I agree it sounds better though!!

I actually do this to appear non-demanding in work emails. For ex. Instead of “you need to submit the paperwork” I say “paperwork will need to be submitted.” It’s really changed the tone of my emails.

Of course, you don’t want to overdo it. Lots of new writers abuse writing tricks and it stands out very clearly.

I like this in moderation when reading but it can be overused a lot and it becomes very obnoxious. a mix of this and the more simple way is ideal for me.

but I think that there should be a balance between the both so the entire book doesn't sound like it's spitting poetry in my face

I like basic sentences. I’m not a fan of flowery language when I’m reading or writing. Still good points though.

I’ve learned that writing is a precarious balancing act of all the advice I’ve ever been given on how to (and how not to) write 🫣🤣

this depends on the POV and narrative voice.
