"have you learned how to drive yet" i have the spirit of friendship in my heart. the joy of lifes little things in my soul. the whimsy of magic. the beautiful enjoyment of nature. the answer is no though

I know for a fact that Dan Howell is a trashy bitch and it is only because whenever fanfiction is brought up it’s ALWAYS wattpad with him. Never have I heard this man utter the words “ao3” or “archive of our own” and yet I can’t tell you how many times he’s mentioned wattpad

You don’t have to think “creative.” Think “smarter.”

I’m a really analytical person. I’m organized. I’m detail-oriented. I like solid ideas, facts that can be relied on with years of research. I like to learn by doing it with my own hands. I like to research and be as prepared as possible before I do something new.

Creativity…takes a back seat. 

I suck at being creative. Original ideas and new ideas? Pfft. No. Which makes my job as a writer a whole lot harder haha. I would be lying if I said that I’m not jealous of writers with such good ideas. The WIPs I’ve seen over the last couple days alone…

So maybe you’re like me. And it’s hard to “be more creative.” How do you make yourself be more creative anyway??? I don’t get it. 

Maybe we just have to be smarter. Don’t stress about being more creative if it isn’t your thing. It’s not your strong suit? So what? Stop stressing. Let’s try to be smarter about the way we build our stories. 

Take old tropes. Make them new, not by necessarily being original, but by combining already-existing ideas to make something new. We don’t need to create something totally new, but we can take old stuff and make it ours by choosing the right things to combine. You can use cliches, too, don’t worry. They’re totally fine, and don’t listen to anyone who says you shouldn’t use X trope if that’s what you want to write.

Research. Understanding what makes a good story helps a lot when it comes to making a story that you’re happy with. Research story structure and character arcs. 

Brain dump. Take all your ideas. The solid ones. The sorta-messy ones. The confusing ones. Try to sort them out like a puzzle. Make them as figureoutable as possible. Try to clean them up as much as you can. 

Accept that you don’t have to be super creative to write something. You can build your story brick by brick of solid ideas that are maybe only a little new, or perhaps not very new at all, and still make a good story.

we named it the computer mouse because it fit so comfortably in our hands and it reminded us of ancient times where our ancestors put their palms over the backs of cave mice and shuffled them across the ground to move the cursor on their cave wall mounted gaming monitors

Hozier said I’ll see your mortifying ordeal of being known and raise you to the absolute anguish of being unknown

“Do you know I could break beneath the weight of the goodness, love, I still carry for you. That I’d walk so far just to take the injury of finally knowing you?” How dare you. How fucking dare you. Get back in your bog. Stop wringing your fingers into my mind like little worms squelching between my brain folds. Fuck you.
