“I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind.”
taylor wrote that lyric for the writers who use their work as a tool to escape the horrors of every day life.
it’s me. i’m the writer who uses their work as a tool to escape the horrors of every day life.
my characters are a lifeline at this point✨
every time a man declares their hatred for taylor swift, it only makes me love her ten times harder. like i can literally feel the love i have for her growing stronger by the second, until i’ve reached full taylor-swift-loving potential
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHARACTERS ARE ALLOWED TO BE SHITTY. THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BE BAD PEOPLE. THEY ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE BAD OPINIONS AND EVENTUALLY REALISE THAT THEY'RE WRONG AND TRY TO CORRECT THEMSELVES. CHARACTERS OPINIONS ARE NOT A REFLECTION OF THE WRITERS OPINIONS. I BEG OF YA'LL. LEARN BASIC STORY TELLING TECHNIQUES. CHARACTERS ARE ALLOWED TO BE FLAWED WITHOUT BEING 100% A TERRIBLE PERSON. BECAUSE. THATS JUST HOW PEOPLE ARE IN REAL LIFE.
the concept of one of my characters being this super smart intuitive guy who can read a room/person with the snap of a finger, but couldn’t figure out the love of his life was keeping a scandalous secret from him is soooo😭
I'm 93% sure that there's ghost that possesses me and writes chapters of my books because sometimes I go back and reread what I've written and I have absolutely no recollection of writing that part of the book.

do you torture the character you relate to most and recreate your own abuse in fiction to cope or were your needs and feelings acknowledged as a child

me when opening googles docs to write:
🔥🔥🔥
just had a #writerscare thinking i astronomically fucked up a crucial part of a storyline in my book series…😁
one of the hardest parts of writing interconnected stories tbh lol the stress of everything having to perfectly align as to avoid even the tiniest plot hole is a lot
thankfully, i figured it out and saved myself from the impending meltdown!
how do you guys decide between two/multiple storyline ideas? i usually write out both scenarios and choose the path that i like better/makes the most sense, but even that isn’t helping this time🫠
