a family doesn’t need to be a husband, a wife, a son, and a daughter. a family can be a husband, a metal husband, a cockroach half-son-half-husband who exists in a quantum state, a ghost son, an adopted flesh son who accidentally wandered into your pocket dimension, and 998 tins of coffee.
things people have thought this is a reference to:
– homestuck – welcome to night vale – fullmetal alchemist – doctor who – bioshock infinite – the sims franchise
writing tip: don’t tell us your character’s backstory. don’t tell us what your character is thinking. don’t tell us what your character is doing. don’t tell us anything. the reader should simply look at a blank page and be suddenly overcome with emotion.
Good tip. I know a lot of writers who cry uncontrollably when they see a blank page, so I’m sure that feeling will translate directly to the reader.
