Enemies to "I accidentally came across you while you were vulnerable and scared and I'm not a total asshole so I tried to help you" to "accidental mutual uncovering of softer sides and vulnerabilities" to "I can't be mean to you anymore, not out of pity but because it would feel weird betraying that brief truce we had" to "Fine I'll make an effort to be nice to you now I guess" to "actually now that we're not actively hating each other you're not so bad I guess" to "i think we're friends but I'm not going to say that because I'm afraid you're not gonna feel the same way" to "oh you also think we're friends? Great" to lovers

Character-voice is I think one of the hardest parts of writing and here's two charts to explain my thoughts on why.

The intention:

The thing I think is maybe happening which I have no idea how to check or prevent:

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.

as the child of a boat mom i dont think i could ever refer to any marine vessel (engine or not, working or not) as anything BUT she. like thats my girl... she is floating... there are fish under her.... she takes us on trips down the river and shows us the city and she is good. and if she can't take us on trips down the river, if she sinks to the bottom, i will don my diving gear and wave hello and see the fish that have made her their new home <3

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

Hey writeblr :)), I'm Leah, and I'm looking for other writers to follow and interact with! My dash has been kind of bland recently, and I'm hoping to participate in some tag games with fellow writers! I don't mind reading works of any genre, as long as you're willing to discuss WIPs and swap ideas.

Some deets about me:

I write mostly fantasy

My main project's Mind of a Mercenary, a novel following the antics of cult-leader-turned-convict-mercenary Luna, after she gets caught trying to take over as major city with mind-magic

I also do a lot of short stories

I really, really, reeeaaaallllyyy love villain protags. Luna's one, for starters

Aroace and she/her

I live in Asia so my timezone is basically 12h apart from the US's

Reblog or like this if you want me to check you out and give you a follow ;) Or just tag me in a game, I don't mind

#this sounds so good #i work w morally grey protags #so i would love to talk if u want talky writer friends :) #good luck w ur side projects also god knows im drowning in them
