Writing about hair and hairstyles is something that always seemed more difficult to me than other kinds of physical description for a character. And there will always be a point, as a writer where you’ll have to describe what your character’s hair look like, no matter if it’s always like this or for a special occasion. So, I collected some links I thought could be useful on the matter, whether about the writing part in itself or more an ‘inspiration part’

stop telling writers what words they can and can’t use you’re just being a whiny brat and stifling creativity I’ll use said as many times as I damn well please and at least it will flow better than your clunky and pretentious stream of synonyms for the same wordsaid said said,
said said said,
said with adverbs,
said with bread,
said as I capped you in the head,
fuck you bitch, I’m using said

“Oh, they (OTMA) were lovely and terribly sweet, far more beautiful than their photographs show. I was crackers about Marie, and was determined to marry her.You could not imagine anyone more beautiful than she was! She was absolutely lovely. I keep her photograph on the mantlepiece in my bedroom - always have.”

Far Away, Long Ago (Sybil x Tom)
Chapter:1/?
Summary: “So many lives were destroyed that night. What had always been was now gone forever and my Sybil, my beloved grandchild, I never saw her again.” It was a rumour, a legend, a mystery but for two con men, could they really have found the long lost daughter of the late Earl of Grantham? (Inspired by Anastasia)
“There was a time, not long ago, where we lived in an enchanted world of elegant estates and grand parties. The year was 1905, and my son, Robert, was the fifth Earl of Grantham. “

This is Sybil Ludington. Today is her birthday.
Sybil is not very well known and it’s a crying shame. The 16-year old was personally thanked by George Washington for her heroic feat, riding twice the distance of Paul Revere and warning the militia and rebellion sympathizers of the sacking of Danbury, CT. But thanks to Longfellow’s severely historically inaccurate poem, more people remember Revere’s ride than hers. *sighs*
By the way? Revere got captured by the British after his stint and had a ton of other riders out on the roads with him or to switch off with. Sybil Ludington was by herself, in the rain, and she beat highwaymen trying to stop her doing her duty WITH A STICK, still managing to get the job done and home safe.
Thanks, Syb. You should make everyone happy inside with your pure badassery.Loading... -
