Right like how

Never take breaks

Ps: take breaks when you need them

Why is it that when you start a WIP and then come back to it after a hiatus, you cannot for the life of you remember where you trying to go with it?

On writing love triangles

⋆.˚ 𓇼 that sharp silence when she laughs at his joke a little too long, and the other guy suddenly forgets how to breathe.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 lingering touches that aren’t meant to be noticed. they’re always noticed.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 “wait here with me a second”... one says. the other pretends he didn’t hear it, but he did. HE DEFINITELY DID.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 being the one she confides in at 2 a.m. vs. being the one she runs to at 2 p.m. both matter and both sting.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 a family photo where she’s standing closer to one than the other.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 that split second of hesitation before she chooses whose hoodie to borrow. gut punch.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 someone shows up late, and the other guy has already been there with her. too late feels like losing.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 overhearing her say his name in a softer voice. the kind of softness you can’t fake.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 small-town gossip: “i saw her with him last night.” nothing kills faster than a rumor that might be true.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 one drives her home. the other texts her: did you get back safe? different kinds of care, both devastating.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 shared history weaponized. “remember when we…” except he wasn’t there.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 jealousy wrapped in politeness: “thanks for helping her.” translation: back off.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 three pairs of footsteps down the same hallway, and it feels like walking a tightrope.

⋆.˚ 𓇼 the sickening sweetness of realizing she glows in both of their stories, but she can only live in one.

By the way… I’m forever Team Conrad. Don’t even bother trying to change my mind, I’ll go to the grave with this opinion. 😋 <3

do any of you remember that gumball episode where darwin becomes mega paranoid after watching a health and safety video so to quell his anxiety he goes out of his way to make everything kid friendly and inoffensive by propositioning it as being for the children and then he becomes a fascist at the end

And now I have fifteen wips. But I’m almost done with one, so that’s the only thing making me feel better.

This isn't good ,it's censoring everything.

Is all about control.

Hey guys something fucking bad happened

KOSA/the kids online safety act has been reintroduced into legislature after it passed Senate last year and then got snubbed. It is not unlike the bill that just passed in the UK a few weeks ago. If you don't want what happened in the UK to happen here, now would be a good time to vocally oppose it.

Here is a petition that can be signed by Americans. Attached to the petition is an easy tool that allows you to call and leave messages for your representatives. I have already done so. You can also email your representatives by searching for their name, most have message submission boards as well. This thing died once, it can die again.

Please sign/share the petition and contact your representatives.

tumblr is so funny. ill see someone i havent seen on the dash in a while and be like "oh hey theyre back :)" and i go to their blog and theyve been posting the whole time and our tumblr hours just havent overlapped in a while

[differentnighttale]

Yes ,when I was writing my kid characters it was easy since I was around their age now I share their age as a teenager and I'm just relying on cliches lol.

do you ever write something about people you age and then realize, you have no idea what normal people your age do? you don't know what they talk like? you don't know any of them? like would a normal person say that, or is it just me who would say that?

sure you have the power of friendship on your side but have you considered that we have the power of EVIL friendship on ours?

[differentnighttale]

It's ok ,it's good to take breaks and relax.

But sometimes the ideas are so much but you're so tired.

Perhaps I'm too tired to write right now

[differentnighttale]

Thought this might help others who struggle when writing. I know I get in my head too much.

New poem :I Fell In Love With a Woman in Nigeria

I fell in love with a woman in Nigeria

She was a woman

And so was I

I wondered if she liked women too

I loved the way she danced

Sang and praised

But I could never tell her

I've traveled around

My heart couldn't bear it

I wanted to near

I fell in love with a woman in Nigeria

Her voice was like honey

She was kind

Her eyes like honey

But she had a cross around her neck

Kept her head down

Worshipped like no one's watching

She was beautiful ,

It couldn't be compared

Her heart filled with gold

But I wanted her to be free

To make her own decisions

We both the same people

But I saw beyond

Such beauty shouldn't be hidden

I saw the way she looked at me

Tears in her eyes

Hiding her pain away

The longing in her gaze

But she had a role to play

So I had to turn my face

Laughing at my jokes

Smiling at my secrets

Showing me the life around Nigeria

I could only smile at the pain

For I wondered if she felt the same way

But such thing was beyond me

Maybe one day I'll feel the same way

Look me straight in the eyes and tell me your current music taste isn’t what your father played in the car when you were a kid.
