hahahaha omg I'm 1) with sprinkles of 2)

There are two types of writers:

1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'

2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'

IT'S LIKE A HUNDRED NINETY NINE DEGREES, WHEN YOU'RE DOING IT WITH ME, DOING IT WITH ME

Cursed be the writer that posted a 'and everybody died in the most gruesome way possible' chapter on April's Fools.

🤬

Martin is famous for his “gardening” approach to plot development. He doesn’t want to plot things out and build a fixed plot, he wants to imagine what all the characters are getting up to and let all of that together grow into something organically. It’s a nice sentiment, it just doesn’t work well with what he was doing.

Really interesting. I never thought about what I did was "gardening". Fascinating. I think the difference is, I do know exactly how I want to end, I do have strong ideas on the vibe and what happens. But I need time figuring out the in-betweens; how each character will act and the repercussions.

That's why I can spend years upon years planning a book. The planning bit is the most important part...

C&D Original Book Update #2

Oooh things are going good.

I'm rereading all the book again (cuz of course) and I'm picking up all those little big problems. It's headache-inducing, but I'm satisfied in finally seeing my book flow better with all those changes. Way better.

I changed a lot of stuff...

As for the last chapters, nope, I noped. I simply can't write them down right now. They're too emotional. I think I'll manage... in a month?? Maybe??

And I'm still hoping to launch it in September...

Fingers crossed <3

S-S Book Update #1

It started as a fic, now it's shaping out to become a book. The playlist is dope.

But what surprised me the most?

The main pairing is... hetero.

Man + woman.

What am I doing with my life?? hahah

I don't write a hetero main pairing since... 2009??????

Expelled from Word, he is now trying to contact you through other programs...

*Fortunately

My mind is like the Joker's on Love Triangle fic by randomplotbunny

"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there

Letter to my young self

I saw someone doing this and I thought, what about me? How would I write it?

And then I realized I'd only write,

"Don't die."

Just that.

That would leave my younger self wondering, "wtf will happen that makes my older self say this???"

And really, that's all I needed to hear. Not fake words. Not fake touches.

Just a steady, linger a bit more.
