Adv Lit Guide

What is adv. lit Roleplay.

Hello everyone! I've recently been inspired to make this; an explanation on how to develop advanced literature writing skills for roleplayers, writers, and anyone else.

I must ask you to please check out assholewannabewriter 's book; Role playing for newbies GUIDE - it goes in depth about basic roleplaying knowledge and the like.

So what is adv. lit?
Adv. lit stands for Advanced literature - the next level of basic writing.
Advanced literature is something that is earned through practice and patience; you won't become one overnight.

What is the foundation for becoming advanced?
Well; first is good grammar skills. I know it's tricky if English isn't your first language or you're new; but I promise you that you'll get better the more you write.
Everyone has their own journey to becoming advanced.
Good grammar is the stepping stone to being advanced; and it's not just knowing how to spell. People often mistake grammar as "correctly spelling a word," but I promise you there's more to it than that.
GRAMMAR is the whole system and structure of a language or of languages in general, usually taken as consisting of syntax and morphology (including inflections) and sometimes also phonology and semantics.
That's a lot, huh? Well - today we'll be delving into English grammar.
ENGLISH GRAMMAR; This is the knowledge of knowing where to put punctuation, what adverbs, nouns, verbs, ect are and how to correctly construct a sentence.
Remember every English lesson you ever had; and apply that in your response.

BAD GRAMMAR IN A RP RESPONSE EXAMPLE;
Jared didnt know what, would happen. He is; boggled and overall drained from. The exhaustion
NOW; if you come into my dms with something like that; I would kindly tell you to leave, or help you become better.
Do you see everything that is underlined? Well, that's where the mistakes are.
MISTAKES; 1. Didnt - This is wrong; can you see the mistake?
The word is missing a ' - this splits a word into two different words.
Didn't = did not.
2. "What, would." - The punctuation here is wrong. The coma is placed in the wrong / overall unnecessary. A coma is meant to continue on a sentence / divide it.
3. " Is; boggled " -  This is wrong once again due to incorrect punctuation. A semicolon is most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. When a semicolon is used to join two or more ideas (parts) in a sentence, those ideas are then given equal position or rank.
4. " From. The." This is once again, incorrect punctuation. A coma is supposed to go there, but instead a period is in it's place. A period ends a sentence.

HOW CAN I DEVELOP GRAMMAR?
Practice; that's the best way. Take online classes / mini games, or simply point out your every mistake and tell yourself what you need to improve on. Do writing prompts!

DETAIL
Detail is our next step in becoming more advanced; not only does it help your response / writing become better, but it helps to lengthen your reply. Now; if you like to keep things short and simple, then I suggest you put a lot of metaphors in your writing to create something that's impactful yet short.

WHAT IS DETAIL?
Detail is an individual fact, feature, or explaination. It helps to set the scene and go in depth about what is happening / what your character is feeling.

HOW TO ADD DETAIL
Adding detail is extremely simple; just put in mini facts or feelings about your character or the surrounding area that is coherent to what's happening in the roleplay / story. Everytime you state your character's hair color, skin color, favorite color; that's detail. Everytime you list that there's flowers in the garden, that your character is happy; that's adding detail.

HOW TO MAKE EVERYTHING FLOW
THIS IS SO SO SO IMPORTANT. Making everything flow in your response is the key in making a good reply in my opinion. How do I make everything flow? Adding detail is a big part; but make sure your response isn't just one huge, run on sentence. Helping everything flow better is also helped by placing the correct words in the response so it's not dry.
