underrated emmrich moment is when bellara is shaking his hand, he doesn't pull away or make her feel weird for shaking it so long

you know that man is not the one to break hugs

If Emmrich dies in the final battle, Harding literally says he "gave the best hugs". 🥺

Hey I need some help. I notice when I look at what I write, I tend to use the same things to start off sentences or say "I then" before going into the sentence. What is a good way to start off something if its in first person? Hope it makes sense.

If you find yourself stuck in the “I did this. I went there. I then…” loop, you’re not alone. First-person can feel limiting at times because everything filters through you. But here's the good news: there's a simple way out.

Vary Your Sentence Structure

Instead of always leading with “I,” shift the focus:

Action first: The cold wind hit me before I even stepped outside.

Emotion first: Nervous, I double-checked the text before sending it.

Setting first: The kitchen was silent. I stepped in like an intruder.

Dialogue/Thoughts: “This is stupid,” I muttered, knowing I’d still go through with it.

Cut Fillers Like “Then”

You often don’t need “then” at all. Try tightening it:

I stood up, grabbed my bag, and walked out. vs. I stood up. Then I grabbed my bag. Then I walked out.

Use Internal Reactions

Instead of narrating every action, show your MC’s thoughts, feelings, or instincts:

My stomach twisted. Something about her smile was wrong.

I didn’t move. Couldn’t. Every cell in my body screamed at me to run.

Basically: your character doesn’t always have to be the sentence’s subject. Show the world around them, their sensations, their spiraling thoughts—let those take the lead sometimes.

You got this.
