Person: “Where is this person from?”

Me. “Uhhhhh-”

Person: “What do they do?”

Me: “You see-”

Person: “Why is this here?”

Me: “Actually-”

Person: “Wow you’ve got this all figured out, huh?”

Me: “…..Sure. We’ll go with that.”

I’m writing about an Aro/Ace royal guard and her lesbian bestie who’s an artist in the palace and their misadventures while taking down an oppressive and cruel monarchy and having an obsession with old music. That work okay?

Fuck it if nobody else is going to write about a bisexual royal guard and his lesbian bestie who’s also a royal guard and their misadventures while surviving a screwed up monarchy and also having an obsession with star shaped sugar cookies then I will.

Ever think you know what you’re writing but then 12 pages and 8 plot twists later you realize you never had a clue?

I have this problem where I want to read my story rather than write it

[lilliankain]

The two stages of writing:

1. Actually writing

2. Staring at the document willing the words to appear.

(And the secret third one: scrolling Pinterest)
