Behind every beautiful thing, there is some kind of pain.

There is nothing more beautiful then a woman's face twisted in pain.

Why didn’t anyone make this sooner? I hate when people only use the word “said” in stories.

THANK YOU

WHO EVER MADE THIS I LOVE YOU!

I’m sorry, but, unpopular opinion time. Good writing includes having each sentence flow with the current that is the story. Most of these would clunk up any dialogue, plus the bluntness of some of these verbs does more telling than showing.

Yeah, after having read a book that uses 20 dollar words when they’re unnecessary, I think I’m inclined to agree.  ”said” has never been a huge issue for me, since I recognize it’s going to be extremely common for any and all authors who use dialogue. I mostly reblogged this because it was interesting and I like options.  
This is handy for people who tend to overuse adverbs after said, though. it’s more efficient and flows better to say “she urged” instead of “she said urgently” you know? Action language is generally helpful.

Something like that happened to me once. Car trouble and I was stuck in a small town for 3 days.

Say it with me now:

thisgingersnapsback:

  • Dr. George Tiller’s killing was not justifiable homicide, it was murder.
  • Blowing up abortion clinics is terrorism.
  • Defacing and covering abortion clinics in graffiti is vandalism.
  • Chanting “You’re next!” at doctors and clinic administrators is threatening them.
  • Preventing patients from entering a clinic by shouting at them, distracting them, walking in front of them, blocking their way with your bodies, or preventing them from exiting their cars is harassment.

You’re not a good person if you in any way, shape or form support, defend, or ignore any of these actions. Stop deluding yourself.

So, we started this trip last night.

About twenty minutes out of Livingston, TX… the tire started to make a funny noise. I pulled off the road to see what was going on. It didn’t feel like it was flat or blown out. But upon inspection, the tread was starting to come off the tire. This forced us to turn around and stay the night in Livingston. And now, because we are in a small Texas town, the tires that he needs are not in stock. Mainly because people here have truck, not cars. All I can hope is that we manage to find tires today, or we’re trapped in a hotel for a couple of days while we wait for tires to come in.

All of this could have been prevented if Tim had gotten tires before we left like he said he was going to.

do you ever look at your own blog and tell yourself “wow you have great taste in everything”

because i do

DRESSING LIKE A VICTORIAN-ERA SKANK IS STILL DRESSING LIKE A SKANK, EVEN IF YOU PUT A BUNCH OF SUPERFLUOUS GEARS AND COGS AND SHIT ON TOO

ACTUALLY REALLY PEOPLE DIDNT EVER WEAR SKIRTS THAT SHORT AND SHOW THAT MUCH SKIN BACK THEN FOR ANY REASON BUT WHATEVER

THAT IS ALL

#a victorian london whore is still a whore #what do the gears do #they do nothing#seriously how about actual period dress #that would be fun #oh but that wouldnt get as much of -that kind- of attention #so i guess that’s out

Um, correct me if I am wrong. But isn’t Steampunk supposed to be about imagination? Not historical accuracy? And even if it was, that is simply another branch of Steampunk. There is a huge universe out there. So much falls under steampunk. So, how about we just shut the fuck up and let people use their imagination?

ASI told me about the elitest assholes out there, and this would be a prime example.

Steampunk is a world open to all kinds of possibilities. Do not let bullies scare you away from such an amazing place.
