Why didn’t anyone make this sooner? I hate when people only use the word “said” in stories.

THANK YOU

BLESS YOUR COW

CAN I MARRY A POST?

WHO EVER MADE THIS I LOVE YOU!

GOD BLESS

no no no GOD no

EACH OF THESE WORDS HAS A SPECIFIC MEANING AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED WHEN NEEDED

DON’T USE THESE FOR DIALOGUE TAGS

NNGOD I REMEMBER THIS FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL.

what PK said is not only right, but accepted by professional writers who write books and give lectures on this shit. (according to mom)

all these words will pop out and interrupt the flow of the writing. said is invisible.

AUUURHG THE ONE WRITING RULE I WISH I COULD JUST OBLITERATE
it is totally okay to just use ‘said’ over and over, in fact it’s usually a testament to the actual writing. if you’re not flowering it up with a million different words you are left simply with the characterisation and the events, and that’s what your reader is interested in anyway

flowery words just obfuscate that point and trip them up 

use these words for specific referential narration but seriously DO NOT EVER FEEL OBLIGATED TO USE THESE ATTACHED TO DIALOGUE TAGS

Your name is CORC. And yes, it is pronounced CORK. You’ve never heard THAT QUESTION before. A number of DAGGERS are scattered about your room. You have a variety of INTERESTS. You enjoy TESTOSTERONE-LACED 80’S MOVIES, and KNIFE THROWING. But that last one is a bit obvious. You also enjoy CELTIC MYTHOLOGY and learning from your GUARDIAN. You are the keeper of a RARE AND ELUSIVE BEAST named after your favorite RUSSIAN MONK.

You also like MAZES and HAIR METAL.

Truly, you are the embodiment of manliness, CORC DONNEL.

What will you do?
