no. no. what the fuck? my writing's not allowed to make me feel things. i MADE you. you fool, i MADE YOU
Being ace in fandoms is so awkward sometimes because yeah the allos like the irredeemably evil villain who has murdered countless innocent people and experiments on children because he's conventionally attractive, what's my excuse? I like this guy for his personality. His personality is a burning truck of chemicals without a driver rolling at 220 km/h down the hill towards the daycare.
the first rule of writing is that there are no rules. the second rule is to save your work every 5 minutes because technology is a fickle god.
I'm sorry but I have one draft that I never finished but I laugh every time I see it
"Oh my God why would they do that????" I say as I write someone doing something bad with my own ten fingers
You know when
i love how everyone on this website is kind of pathetic it brings such a sense of understanding and community
Writing is 10% inspiration,
90% 'I swear I’ll fix this in edits.'
Lesser-known steps of the writing process:
Finding all the paragraphs where you used some hyper-specific word more than once
Rearranging paragraphs that you swear you wrote in the right order but turned out to be totally backwards
Going for a walk, coming up with the perfect line, and forgetting it as soon as you get home and open your laptop
Creating a separate document where you can dump all of those nice sentences that no longer fit in anywhere
Waking up in a cold sweat because so-and-so was supposed to be barefoot but never actually took his shoes off
Being obsessed with your own ocs is so so good for you i seriously can't recommend it enough
the most humbling experience of being a writer is when you spend hours writing and think you wrote 10k words but it was actually more like 400. and then you do it again
