there is nothing quite like being interrupted while absolutely immersed in whatever you're writing. i think this must be how fish feel when they're snatched out of the water by a bird of prey

me: hey so how far does your 'all-seeing' sight extend?

the many eyed creature in my basement: ARE YOU ASKING BECAUSE YOU TRIPPED ON YOUR OWN SHOELACES IN THE FOYER AND FELL ON YOUR FACE?

me: oh... so you saw that... :(

the many eyed creature (trying to be nice): ................ NO.

dramatic irony enjoyers when they know something the characters dont

best response of all time

Ever just make an OC and you think they’ll just be a one-off character but then all of the sudden, whoop. You dive into the character to understand how they handle a situation you put them in, you help them succeed, develop their personality more than you planned and you’re just attached to your little baby now so you’ve got to see them grow and flourish and make it to the happy ending they deserve?

I hope all low income writers are having a lovely day. If you're losing writing time working impossible hours to make ends meet, I see you. If you're having to stay at a job you hate just to have money coming in, I see you. If you can't justify sparing cash to pursue self-publishing because you need it more for groceries, I see you. If your ability to write is impeded by caring responsibilities for vulnerable children and/or adults, I see you. If the stress and responsibility has compounded into mental and physical ailments that further makes it difficult to write, I see you.

It's a hard world out there but you're doing the best you can with what you have and that's all anyone can ask of you. Don't make anyone feel as though you're worthless for not having the luxury to pursue your dreams as you see fit. I've been there and am there and I'm rooting for us all to catch the break we deserve.

Reminder that whatever you’re writing, you shouldn’t give up because no one else can put the puzzle together the same way you can. It’s unique to you, so stop comparing yourselves to others. That completely eliminates the whole purpose.

google docs HATES them! writer has a style that actually sounds like someone talking, not like a perfectly grammatically correct robot!

a fun fact about this wacky little writing hobby is that it’s versatile. long car ride? I’m writing. waiting for the bus? I’m just going to type out some snippets of dialogue in my notes really quickly. I’m just thinking about the next writing session and plotting unconsciously all the time. i kinda love the eternal feeling of it. it’s just everywhere.

the personification of death being portrayed as deeply kind in fiction is something that reduces me to tears every single time
