“I loved wandering around the bookshelves, scanning the spines until something happened to catch my eye. Those visits were dreamy, frictionless interludes that promised I would leave richer than I arrived. It wasn't like going to a store with my mom, which guaranteed a tug-of-war between what I wanted and what my mother was willing to buy me; in the library I could have anything I wanted.”

―The Library Book by Susan Orlean

how to brain dump like a pro

what you need

a messy notebook (I like the Leuchturm bullet ones)

a pen

a beverage for emotional support (or several <3)

how to get started

grab your notebook, and sit down in a quiet moment with enough time so you won't stress even more. The point of a brain dump is to unload all your thoughts, everything that is stressing you is put to paper. not aesthetically, no cutesy Pinterest vibes; we need it plain, unromanticised, and personal.

some prompts to get you going

do I have any deadlines coming up?

have I been making time for myself and my hobbies?

what projects, tasks, appointments, and/ or plans are currently stressing me out?

am I procrastinating anything?

am I properly looking after myself? (mental/physical health, skincare, hobbies, school/work, etc etc)

am I currently working through any challenges, and if yes how is that going so far?

how are my friends/relationships doing?

is there an area in my life that I should prioritise right now?

do I feel confident and comfortable at the moment?

Review and reflect

take some time and go over your writing; you can underline or highlight the points that you find most important. make this whole "brain dump" thing a routine; sometimes it takes a bit of writing until you actually get comfortable with putting your emotions onto paper (it sounds easier than it is..), but the more often you do this, the more comfortable you will get!! <3

As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments! <3

love ya ･:*₊‧✩

A year of journals. Usually there wouldn’t be so many of them, but two big trips meant two big travel journals.

Ben aşk nedir bilmem,

Eski kafalıyım.

Bir seni bilirim,

Bir de adın geçince sıkışan kalbimi.

Good morning 🖤

Part of my new morning ritual is starting my morning with this book (which has an entry for every day) and a paranormal podcast. I’m trying to start my day with more creative and flexible thinking, so Incan take that into my research.

are you ever reading a good book and watching a good show and creating fun things and suddenly you think to yourself oh wait, life is worth living

Hello. I’m new to booktumblr and excited to post on here 🤍

[writingwithfolklore]

Do you run an off-site writing/author blog? I want to talk to you!

Hi all,

I'm looking for writers who also have a blog off tumblr related to writing, author journeys, creative endeavors, books etc. who may want to do a guest-post exchange with my blog on www.gatesannai.com.

If you know someone who may be interested, or might be interested yourself, please send me a DM with the link to your blog!

Thanks!

welcome to @batty.about.books! 🦇💜🦇

hi there, my wonderful, supportive bookish bats! If you're new here, welcome! this is my space for all romance, queer / sapphic, and fantasy books; a space full of acceptance, love, magic, and a little mayhem.  🦇

my goal here is to help YOU find the perfect book; a story that speaks to you, resonates with you, represents you. for some of us, that's difficult to find. growing up as a queer / bisexual Muslim Middle Easterner, I rarely saw myself reflected on page or screen. I don't want anyone to feel that way; invisible, when all the intricacies of who we are as individuals make the stardust we're made of shine a little brighter. ✨

when did you start your bookstagram? ✨ 

January 13, 2023 🦇 

what made you start your account? ✨ 

I've been posting bookish content on my personal account for years, but I wanted a space where I could properly share my love of books, connect with other book lovers, and interact with authors. now I have a space where like-minded (amazing) bookish bats understand my ramblings. 🦇 

what inspired your handle? ✨ 

bats are misunderstood, stereotyped creatures. they’re perceived as creepy & dark when they actually provide vital ecosystem services (pest control, pollination, seed dispersal, etc.). have you seen a bat eat a strawberry, though? they’re adorable. growing up as a queer Middle Eastern, I always felt a little misunderstood, too. 🦇 

favorite thing about bookstagram? ✨ 

I've made so many amazing connections since creating this account (readers, authors, & members of the publishing industry). I could ramble for hours about how amazing, supportive, and welcoming this community is. 🦇
