i sit down to write and suddenly i am the most distracted human alive. the chair is uncomfortable. my coffee is too hot. my playlist isn't quite the vibe. i need to research what victorian houses smelled like in 1872 for exactly 45 minutes even though my story takes place in space. and yet the moment i'm trying to fall asleep? every single sentence i've ever needed just lines up perfectly in my brain like some kind of creative parade i'll never get back.

the problem with reading and writing leading to a strong vocabulary is that you tend to know the vibe of words instead of their meanings.

if I used this word in a sentence, would it make sense? absolutely. if you asked me what it meant, could I tell you? absolutely not.

My absolute favourite genre of science pictures is scientists posing with massive grins and a double thumbs up next to some abyss-dwelling elder monstrosity that the sea itself spat back up onto the beach

spending too much time alone is a scam because i start to think i understand things to an extent but as soon as i go back into the world i feel 14
