Sam “It Matters to Me” Winchester will take time out of his day to show kindness and consideration for people even when his greatest fear is free in the world, and that is why I love him.
Okay…so…I’m not really sure how Moosiel got started…we were thinking of angel names for Sam, I think…anyway, I got my birthday present to myself gift today of an art tablet, and I had Moosiel on the brain, so here is my first official drawing with my first ever official art tablet.
I don’t care if you’ve never written before or if you’ve written hundreds of fics.
I don’t care if your fic is 100 chapters or just one.
I don’t care if there’s too much dialogue, or not enough.
I don’t care if your character drinks “a hot cup of coffee” or “a steaming well of carefully brewed fair trade Ethiopian single origin organic beans, contained in an antique blue willow cup with one tiny chip on the edge and mild cracking in the glaze.”
I don’t care if you use the same pronoun over and over or if you use the word “persnickety” eleven times over the course of ten pages.
I don’t care if your historical references are accurate, or if the characters speak in a way that doesn’t fit their environment.
I don’t care if your romantic pairing makes love on a bed of roses at sunset or if they bang up against the wall in a changing room at Walmart.
I don’t care if your stories are nothing but fluff, or nothing but smut.
I am going to read your fics, and I am going to enjoy the hell out of them. So please keep writing, and ignore comments from assholes. We, the readers, love you.
“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.
“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement.
“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”
“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”
Things I didn’t know
“And–” she waved a pen as though to underline her statement–“if you’re interrupting a sentence with an action, you need to type two hyphens to make an en-dash.”
You guys have no idea how many students in my advanced fiction workshop didn’t know any of this when writing their stories.

I love how easy it can be to learn stuff like this through tumblr and not through school.
This is really important to know. Honestly. To know that someone like Hugh Jackman thinks like this…my mind is honestly blown away & makes me realize, it’s okay to enjoy that cupcake or that ice cream. To not feel guilty for simply having three tacos when I know I should have only had two.
