Anonymous asked:

I’ve got a good ‘starting world’ and then a good ‘new world’ for the rest of my story, but those transition chapters are really challenging to get right. How do you suggest introducing new setting, characters, and environment in a palatable and not info-dumpy way? Thanks a million!

wordsnstuff answered:

Natural integration of new elements and characters...

In my personal writing process, I have a list of the main elements, details, etc. that must be incorporated smoothly but clearly, in a checklist style, which I return to when I print out and am editing the first draft and use it as a tracker. I color code by plot development, character development, and world building, as well as thematic elements, and make sure I’ve checked every box, but not been repetitive.

Here are some resources you might also find useful:

“So I said: “please love me,” and what I meant was: please treat me gently. Please love me with a love that can be felt. That can be touched. A love that I can write about gracefully if and when it ends. Which I may look upon with pacific eyes, and say: “that was a good love. It had to end but it was good.””

when richard siken said “it keeps coming back to that: what do i do with these hands?” and when mitski said “i don't know what to do without you, i don't know where to put my hands” and when olivia gatwood said “what am i, if not yours? what do i do with my hands when they are just hands?” and when sylvia plath said “what did my fingers do before they held him? what did my heart do, with its love?”

I was just thinking about the life of a pumpkin. Grow up in the sun, happily entwined with others… and then someone comes along, cuts you open, and rips your guts out.

“When I think of the sadness that follows every pleasure, I often wonder if we can ever truly be happy in a world where everything comes to an end. This dread of time passing and of the nothingness to come”

— Eugène Delacroix, 1853 (via an-overwhelming-question)
