step one of creating a vampire story: make up a little freak who wants to bite people. step two: add guilt. step three: make up a little freak who wants to be bitten. step four: add guilt.

As a whole, we should stop telling people who make art to "just do it for yourself even if no one sees it. You should only be doing it for fun because you like it". I say this because it always comes from those who don't have a passion for an art form. While yes, that should be your reason for creating, feedback is so crucial for things meant to be reacted to, specifically writing pieces. Stories are made to be read, to make people feel something. It can also feel incredibly discouraging to spend so much time on a project just for it to get lost somewhere, only responded to with silence.

For me, my writing is not complete until its been perceived by another person. i don't write to the void, i write to be heard.

as someone with club foot, PLEASE WRITE MORE CHARACTERS WITH IT☹️ also it can be disabling, and it can affect the knees, hips, and ankles if comorbig with another condition; commonly knock-kneed. another thing though is to avoid "curled", it just sounds weird; curved is a good alternative with the same effect

How To Write Club Foot Characters

A guide to writing club foot.

To understand what club foot is, you need to understand it's causes. You can't develop club foot in your life, you develop it in the womb. It can be from how you're positioned, how you develop, etc.

Club foot is the twisting of a foot in the womb. It is a birth defect.

History (Earlier "Cures")

Note: the only reason why I put "cures" in quotes is because of continued nerve damage that'll continue for the rest of your life. However, people who undergo successful treatments can live a normal life.

400 BC: Hippocrates described manipulating the foot and placing them with bandages, much like modern day treatments.

1834: The Thomas Wrench was discovered. It was used to forcibly change the position of the foot.

70s-80s-90s: This is when surgical treatments became popular. There are a lot of methods for correcting club foot, but the most popular are postero-medial release (PMR) which entails the extensive release of the contractive soft tissues of the clubbed foot/feet. Surgical treatment can give the foot a more "normal" look and ensure that the patient can walk on the foot. This does not erase any nerve pain, though, as overtime the foot can become stiff, weak, and show early arthritic changes. This is why this practice kinda fell out of practice.

The Conservative Technique:

Casting and wrapping to stretch the foot/feet and molding the bones so that it's less painful and the patient can walk on the feet/foot.

LANGUAGE:

What language do you use to describe club foot and what to avoid.

Words to Avoid:

Gross

Disgusting

Anything related to how "gross" the characters foot looks, or how the mc wants to "throw up" at the sight.

Words to Use:

Curled

Clubbed/club

AIDE:

Mobility aide is something many need as they get older, some even use it when they're younger. The list includes:

Crutches

Canes

Wheelchairs

Braces

Walker

– Song of lost secrets

"No, boy it's not-- Youll always be my son, I just want better for you."

It's not an "abandoned" WIP, I didn't intentionally leave it in the forest to die and forget about it, it is a lost wip who wandered into the forest despite my pleas not to. I sit at the edge of the forest every day and hear it calling for help but there is nothing I can do. It is a haunting wip

🎃 Trick or Treat 🎃

Yes, you read that right! “Trick or Treat” is making its third comeback this year 🍬🗡️ Spread this post to get the word out. I’ll send an ask to everyone who reblogs this! 🎃

The Event

Let’s celebrate Halloween together with a fun game! During this event, we’ll knock on people’s ask boxes and send them a simple question: Trick or Treat? 🦇

The recipient decides if it’s to be a trick, or a treat, as the owner of the house.

🍬 Treat — If the recipient choses treat, they share something with us as a treat. This could be a snippet, a line, OC trivia, or what have you!

👻 Trick — Turning the question around, the asker now has to share something of their own! But, seeing as it’s a trick, they may leave something under a read more, or link to something, that may catch you off guard… 😱

The event is held* through 25th-27th of October.

(Examples of) What you can share:

A snippet

A scene

OC trivia

Worldbuilding fact

Picrew / Art / Zoi / etc

A song, or even a playlist

A moodboard

Poetry

Anything you think is a treat you want to share!

If you get “Trick 👻”, pulling a trick is up to you.

❗ Tricksters ❗ Keep to etiquette. A rick roll is fun, a spooky gif, a picrew of your character dressed up for Halloween, and other fun tricks are what I hope to see, should someone chose to pull a trick.

*I will be sending asks during these dates but you are welcome to start this event any time you. Remember writeblr etiquette and send an ask back to the one who sent one to you! (Excluding me 👻)

🧡 Enjoy 🧡
