Literally the best feeling.

when u come up with a tiny change for your story that not only makes the writing flow better but also hammers in the character motivations and story theme

This reminds me of the time I was in Fine Arts and I decided to add ants across the painting for funsies, for purely aesthetic purposes. I got REAMED out by my peers and professor cause making art needed to have symbolism, a purpose. Which I completely understand but also my REASON WAS that it made the painting interesting, appealing. So.. that’s the reason????

It honestly happened 10 years ago and it still bothers me when I think about it 😂 cause what’s the difference between someone who paints landscapes to capture its beauty than me painting a few ants cause I think they’re cool?

I still stand by my ants. I do not regret the ants.

A piece of writing advice I've always fucking hated is "only add things that further the plot." Because no. Add stuff for fun. Give your mom a cameo. Have these characters be in love because. And yes, have characters die because. There doesn't have to be a reason for everything. The universe doesn't give a reason for everything. Why should you? And if you never add stuff for fun, you're never going to have fun.

I devour books I’m obsessed with so if anyone did the same with my book, I’d take that as the highest compliment 💕

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

Good morning ☀️ I haven’t touched my WIP in almost 3 weeks. So instead of feeling like shit about it, I’ll work on it today 💕

[ddgraywrites]

I love you.

When you love someone, Everything they do becomes so endearing. It's so hard explain, How the normal everyday things become magical.

They can be doing the most embarassing, And messy dance steps, Or laughing in that loud quirky way, It doesn't make you cringe or look away.

Surprisingly all you want is To capture every second of that moment in your mind, And without even realising it, You have the biggest smile on your face.

I love you I love you I love you And everything that you do, I want to laugh beside you and cry when you do I hope there never comes a time, Where I have to consider living without you.

I had an interview 2 weeks ago and thought I bombed it. Today, I found out I got hired!!

I GET TO WORK FROM HOME!!

I’m so excited! It’s been a dream of mine to work from home. The thought of waking up and walking a few feet to work still in my PJ’s sounds like paradise 😂

Me trying to decide which of my wips to start working on first:

[ddgraywrites]

Oops.

I specifically sat here on my computer to prep for my second novel in my romance series but instead, I'm looking at free tumblr themes.

I mean.. it’s the only way I know HOW to write 😂

Writers who prefer to write in easy to read, non-flowery language RISE UP

I am not staring at nothing. I am not not writing. I am percolating. I am conceptualizing. It is starting to take form in my head... slowly. When I am ready, I will pick up the pen. Or the laptop I guess.
