hi !
i wanted to tell you that i really admire how well you write your fics and thanks to you i started to read more poems, and now my soul feel like healing everytime i read one. tongari's poem is so so beautiful..
i also wanted to ask, do you have any methods on how to write well with such vocabularies and stuff ?
i know i'm anonymous hdbcb but would you like to be moots? we're the same age and you seem like a cool person :)
omg hi!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH — i’m really happy that my fics have managed to do that for you. imo there’s nothing better than when something manages to touch your heart so knowing that i’ve been able to do that myself is simply wonderful. & welcome to the world of poetry!!!! you’ll love it here, promise. ❤️🔥
as for vocabulary, there are two ways to go about it: 1) use a thesaurus/synonyms/antonyms (if you wanna reverse it). but do be careful with this because synonyms have different shades of meaning eg “cry” & “howl”, “melancholic” & “nostalgic”, “laugh” & “giggle”. sometimes you can really just use the word as is, otherwise you risk your work sounding like a dictionary soup. 2) expressing/exemplifying the word i want e.g. instead of saying X is “beautiful”, you can elaborate on its features, how it makes Y feels etc etc. it’s a neat trick to use whenever you feel you’re leaning more into telling than showing!
overall the most important writing tip i’ve ever received is (and this is applicable to anyone no matter their style and preference): read something beautiful every day, and write something (hopefully beautiful) every day (as much as you can). practise makes better!!!!
and yes, we can be moots!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️🔥🫶🦋✨ just hmu in my dms!!
