Filler in Chapters?!

Want to add some filler between major events in your book but do not know how to go about it? I will try to help (while currently struggling with this at the moment... no I am definitely not ignoring this /sarcasm)

Think about the setting, what would make sense for the character/s to do?

Maybe introduce/foreshadow another character/s that will be important later on

Write something silly, give the character/s some breathing room before the next event

Have the characters bond over a shared something (or something one likes and the other does not)

Have the character/s reminisce about the previous events or their past

Could you set something up that will hurt/help the character/s down the road?

Write the aftermath of the major event, what happened to the character/s because of it?

Has there been a change in dynamics between characters?

Is there such a thing as too much filler?

Yes, it can be a little hard to judge at times when filler gets too dragged on. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself how long it has been since something important/major to the plot happened. It is mostly up to you to draw the line as to the timeline of events.

Extra Notes:

If while writing (this goes for any part of a book) you get stuck somewhere, try writing a part of the story that is not as hard for you to write. This gives your brain more time to process and come up with an idea for what should go into the empty space.

Sometimes it is better to either focus on something else or take a break. Make sure to take care of yourself :D

“Let Me Help (You Get Through Classic Lit)”

My piece for the AOSR Zine, 2023! @aosrenaissance

When you are dyslexic, a ‘stack of books with legs’ is a logical partner. Kirk thinks the most romantic sentence in the English language is "Let me help”, but Spock knows it is “Let me read to you”... even if he has a habit of falling asleep.

Search For Spock: Love, Family and Friendship

“Let me help.”

The City on the Edge of Forever - TOS 01X28 (Source: kirknspock)

Operation: Annihilate!  - TOS 01X29 (Source: kirknspock)

Star Trek III: The Search For Spock is not only an exemplary film about love in the romantic or familial sense, but also the profound capacity of love there is to be found in friendship and found family. 

It is a film that truly encapsulates how powerful IDIC is in practice:

Every single character comes together to achieve their goal, which is ultimately the goal of coming through for a loved one. It is quite simply a story about the power of love in its many forms.

Star Trek III: TSFS is a testimony to loyalty. 

The film has so many beautiful examples and varieties of love in one film; it highlights so perfectly the power of connection and “let me help”. 

IDIC: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.

am i the only one that has commentary in my mind when i write? for example, an excerpt from my fic:

"This [a headache] isn't because of that [training], I'm probably just dehydrated or something."

And there's me thinking, "Hint: it wasn't just dehydration."

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

#almost wrote the champagne line as ''effervescent'' but legit could not write it without saying ''effervescent like a snail'' #ah tumblr... #writeblr #warm up #idk . having trouble writing rn #ps i don't like to talk about it . it is my medical information. but before you ask. yes this is about being on the spectrum #i really don't like when ppl make my writing about how im [whatever ID]. i want it to ring true for the people who it rings true for #i don't want it to be like ''awwwww look at this person!!! she's the EXCEPTION!!! :)" ..... #no.... not really..... #idk something gross happens whenever i admit to certain conditions and i turn into like inspiration p*rnography #like yes they actually let us use keyboards these days #furthermore i just... dont feel comfortable talking about this part of me. i had too bad of a childhood. adhd is one thing... #this one im like. still coming to terms with. which is like. my own journey. #idk. just please be kind. some things are more private than others. this one feels private to me. #i do not know how to help others w/this . and i do not know how to help myself. i will talk about it if im ever ready. idk if that will #actually ever happen #ty in advance i love u im kissing you we are kissing somewhere on the spectrum

My goal for today is to clean my bathroom and top of the stair area. It's been overdue for awhile, but my bf kept saying he would do it. Lord knows, he will not. And Im tired of our shower being clogged and the sink being clogged.... It will burn all my extra calories though and I could most certainly use it. Im not allowed to stop until I am satisfied with how it looks. And maybe then I can have my dinner, we shall see if I even have an appetite for it....

#watch him jump up and be like #i was going to do it #or #let me help #he's had fucking weeks #im sick of it #he's like being with a goddamn child sometimes

friend wanted to see my tumblr, and when i told him i can’t show it to him bc it’s basically my personal diary he went “oh so I can’t see it but a bunch of strangers on tumblr can??” he literally does not get me. no one will get me like the people in my phone get me

#It’s just so different #even though it’s public it still feels secret and safe. i feel comfy sharing a lot more on here than I do in my actual day to day life lol #in my head I’m also just speaking to myself 90% of the time which helps #if a friend off tumblr saw my thoughts I’d feel so weird ab it #esp bc they might get the vagueposting about certain situations and tell mutual friends #no thank u. this is for me. I’m not about to start censoring my thoughts bc someone I know knows my tumblr #u guys literally saw me have LIVE BREAKDOWNS #meanwhile I’ll have the worst fucking day in history and tell no one about it. I’m already cripplingly private but way more so in real life #this is basically a low stress journaling outlet for me. it’s so important for me to maintain the separation #like this is actually my diary & has been so handy for letting out emotions / articulating thoughts / staying on track !! #& I’ve met so many kind people on here who actually get me. which is so hard to find irl bc I’m surrounded by pre-med gunners/overachievers #who are by standard not very good w emotion & can be competitive/judgmental. or at least it’s hard for me to be vulnerable in front of them #and I’m part of that crowd so I reserve my emotions only to a handful of very close friends #it’s nice to hop on here and express negative emotions!! or positive emotions!! just whatever I want and it’s low stress and people get me #I don’t have to worry about judgment or competitiveness etc etc #like everyone on here is so kind & nice & understanding. & just a breath of fresh air from the types I run w. it’s just nice to have this #so idk that’s why I think I’ll always be strict about keeping the worlds separate. it just works #p
