10 Ways to Develop your Writing Skill

Read with intention, especially stories you normally wouldn’t

Take yourself out of your comfort zone—mimic a writer with a totally different style/tone/POV than you.

Go out and experience more of the world

Try out some writing prompts

Share your work with another writer

Rewrite your project (or a chapter) in a new light—write the ending at the start, switch the main characters, change the setting

Gather sources and inspiration

Experiment using new concepts/words/characters you never would have otherwise

Take time away from writing and come back to it with fresh eyes.

Try taking your idea to other artforms—drawing, animation, music, knitting, singing, anything!

i wonder how much healing that one xkcd comic did to the internet with saying “you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000″ when encountering a person who hasn’t been exposed to a popular or well known thing

A running theme within the Forger Family is that while Loid fully understands that his Family is a front. Yor over time tends to forget that her marriage and family are fake.

This particular moment sticks out with me because Yor looks Loid dead in the eyes immediately after he reassured her that she’s doing fine as a mother and said “I’m really glad I married you Loid.”

No mention of “as part of our arrangement” or “because I can continue my contract killing job.” just Yor telling Loid that she’s genuinely happy and fortunate that she got so lucky to marry someone as understanding and endearing as Loid.

During the Bond Introduction Arc, when Anya read Bond’s mind of him seeing the future, this panel perfectly describes how Yor would feel if Loid suddenly died and left them both alone.

Throughout the Manga the lines between real and fake blur for Yor just as quickly as it did for Loid.

When the Cruise Arc happens and Olka asks if Yor’s family is just a cover for her real job, it’s a harsh reminder to her that they still are a fake family. Yor completely forgot that she’s with them out of circumstances and you can see the hurt and sorrow in her eyes of that reminder

But as long as she is able to go home to Loid and her family, then who cares if her marriage and family is fake? Who cares if she has to drop thousands of bodies? As long as Yor can keep them safe from her line of work and go home to them, that’s all that matters.

Yor has always loved that Loid is always supportive of her in what she does since the very beginning, she always looks to him for approval, support and comfort. Yor’s motivations as an Assassin are so similar to Loid’s motivations as a Spy that it allows her to do what she does with no regrets and she knows Loid would understand and respect her decisions at the end of the day because as she puts it:
