I think conflicting motivations would ramp up the tension at the climax if the character is faced with an ultimatum: - Both decisions would satisfy the respective motivations. - Both decisions would come with some kind of repercussion. #WritingCommunity I made a meme:

To be fair, I do love adding ✨ drama ✨ to my stories! Ooh! Maybe if it were a romance and they cure the curse, but the vampire suffers deteriorates over a year or two. They would maintain their appearance but get noticeably weaker.

Oh my goshhh you are EVIL! I love it! Gah, I really want to write something like this now. The utter despair of it would be so emotionally wounding.

That's interesting! I never viewed it as anything but a curse. Something like that being irreversible definitely adds a bittersweet tang to the ordeal. This is why vampires are awesome!

Alright settle a debate for me please. If a vampire's curse is broken, do they, a. Revert to the age they were when they were first bitten or, b. Rapidly age by however many years they've been alive? #WritingCommunity #WritingQ

Lmao that's brilliant! In one of my older WIPs, I actually debated creating a whole backstory on why the elusive character was called [NAME] 🫣 So glad to know I'm not alone 😭

After ages of destruction, a god approaches a jaded soldier and her team on the frontlines for help, bringing with him a revelation that could return peace between the gods and humans, but only if they can trust each other to work together and see this new mission through. #YouDeservepIt #WIP #A

An image board including a silhouette of soldiers marching, hazy mountains with temple tops poking from the forest at sunset, a pitch black sky with grey-toned trees and ground in the foreground, a silhouetted figure stretching out a hand to the camera, someone helping another up a hill eclipsed by the sun, and text; When Gods Bleed | Even gods need our help

TERMINAL CAFE + THE WIZARD OF OZ Four misfits flee a half-dead future Boston, following the call of a long-lost voice to a desert city no one can seem to remember. In its heart they will find out what "alive" really means. But first they have to save humanity. #YouDeservePit #A #WIP #SF #hopepunk

On a background of a cracked desert with a solitary, gnarled tree float four pictures suggestive of the ensemble cast. To the left is Eden, a wide-eyed pouting beauty who recently found out that she was designed and created in a lab. Her picture is labeled "A literal manufactured pop star." At the top is Terrah, a butch-looking Black woman sitting at a computer in sunglasses. She is labeled, "A jaded security wrangler," as she has spent much of her career doing street-tough work in spite of her considerable tech skills. To the right is a robot-looking fellow, representing Cid, an ex-military guy who chose to replace his body with a mech, and lost quite a few memories along the way. His caption says "A smart-ass full-conversion cyborg." Finally below is a skinny figure crouching in front of a laptop, wearing some kind of headset with glowing red "eyes." The prodigy hacker of the group, like all of them, is not what she seems. Her caption says, "And a cat-girl hacker." Two text boxes provide more context. The first says: "In this hollowed-out world, they thought that this was as alive as they would get." The second says, "When they cross through the sand wall into the digital jungle, they'll learn more than they bargained for about the nature of life."

A dark hooded, cloaked figure from behind with arms outstretched. At the center, laid over a dark, stormy sky is the words 'The Witch Thief'. A brass keyring with five skeleton keys is woven through the letters.
