Character & Roleplay Tutorials / How to sound awesome without using Wolfspeak
« on: July 28, 2014, 01:08:12 am »
Hello everyone! As creative people and lovers of writing, we have the urge to create beautiful and unique posts. However, sometimes we lack the tools and the knowledge to do so. Thus, so many of us take to overdone cliches, terrible examples, and wolfspeak. But never fear! For today I am here to give you a whole arsenal of affective tools that are guaranteed to make you not only a better writer, but a beautiful one.
This tutorial aims to provide a unique perspective on roleplaying and writing in general. Though some of the topics covered here can seem a bit advanced, I've hopefully reduced them down enough to where even newbies can understand. If you correctly apply any one of these suggestions to your writing, I can guarantee that you will see a difference. Though it maybe slow and hard at first, with practice, these methods will become almost second-hand to you.
This tutorial will consist of three things to enrich your writing and three things to avoid in your writing. As similes and metaphors are similar, they will be explained together. I will most likely do the same with cliches and repetitiveness.
On today's menu:
Similes
Metaphors
Variation
Things to avoid:
Cliches
Repetitiveness
To-be Verbs
Feel free to post and questions or comments below. Ok, here we go.
*Disclaimer* I hope you guys realize that I am not trying to bash wolfspeak here. You can roleplay however you want. This is just a tutorial for people who want to write without using wolfspeak because they may feel that it is overdone and/or cliche. Even if you do use wolfspeak, I encourage you to look at this. You may just get some good ideas while furthering your knowledge of the English language.

Please note: If you think that grammar and proper spelling are the only things needed to be a good writer, then you are terribly wrong and need to go and read some Mark Twain. If you have read him and still think that grammar and spelling are the only things needed, then I want you to leave and never write again. Thank you.
