A short video was recently uploaded by LAN Studio feat. the main trio. They’re donning their old school uniforms in preparation for the short form mini series. Original post from Weibo ☆ and the tweet ☆
Edit: Never expect that this post gets more attention than the first one lol. So, if you’re wondering what anime this is, it’s Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song.
Go watch it people! It’s animated by Wit Studio and written by the Re Zero creator! More reasons to watch lol
If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.
Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.
Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.
Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.
This is legit good writing advice, especially the first bullet point! In playwriting class we did a bit where every bit of dialogue had to be an accusatory question and it was glorious.

YJH trying to guess secretive plotter’s identity: the only person who could hate Kim dokja this much is…. Kim Dokja….
SP: … bold of you to assume that trying to kill Kim dokja twice is a level of hatred that even approaches the amount of self loathing Kim dokja has for himself
