<Snipped quote by Archmage MC>
I just figured if a GM starts a new day that's sort of a signal to find a way to wrap up what you're doing now in a little bow and finish it on the new day.
Was I mistaken in this case?
oh well if the GM said to end the day, thats fine. I skim the super long posts because I find them a hassle to read. For those people, I'd recommend you read On Writing by Stephen King or other books to help with writing. Theres very little point to put in unnecessary details. You can put in details to try to point out important things or details that spell out bits of the character without them doing said things in dialog, or details for important actions, but details for the sake of details isn't that good.
Example (My god this is going to be hard...).
Light walks down a sunny street slowly, the sun blazing in the sky as the temperature was hotter than the weatherman had predicted that day. She was moving her head from side to side noticing the people near her as she looked for someone who had committed a crime. She noticed a person with a white sports hat, sunglasses, a blue cacky top, and red jeans. She also noticed a woman wearing a green tanktop, blue jeans and carrying a grocery bag. One person she saw wore a black trenchcoat, a black fedora, and carried a black briefcase. Light follows this man...
Right there, most of that sentience is irrelevant or can be summarized. Also by pointing out all the fine details, I leave very little to the imagination of the reader. (I could've made it more detailed, but I was lazy and I'd just make it a huge madlib if I did anyway.) Now if I removed or summarized this paragraph, we'd get...
Light walks down a street, searching for a criminal who had just recently committed a crime. The people she passed by wore various types of summer cloths with sunglasses and were doing everyday things. One person looked out of the norm though wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora, and was carrying a breifcase. Light followed this man...
There, more left to the imagination of the reader, unnecessary details left out, and it gets to the point quick. I could also remove the line "who had just recently committed a crime" if I wanted to, as there is no pretext to this paragraph, but if there was pretext, it would make sense to use, so that one is in a grey area. It also removes the adverbs, which just sound wrong when used and aren't needed unless you can't convey what the adverb was inside the scene you've set. I can make more examples, but they'll mostly be adlibs xD.
Just saying how and why I write the way I do.
