Yourself > Writing.

༺𖤐๋࣭ ⭑🕸🦇🕸๋࣭ ⭑๋࣭ 𖤐༻

Writing is great. We love writing, but you come first! Stop staying up all night to write. Stop forcing yourself to write. Stop forgetting to eat because you were in the zone.I have yet to find a practical way to write from the grave, so just stay out of it!

Take care of yourself, and reward yourself for your hard work!

Things I wish I knew before I started writing

Pt. 5

✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡˚✐﹏﹏﹏﹏˚｡⋆ ༘ ˚✧

Enjoy what you're doing and let it come to you.

Stop forcing stuff that doesn't work just to move faster.

Your characters are more important than your story.

·:*¨༺𖤐☆✮☆𖤐༻¨*:·

So, really take your time fleshing them out because the better you know them, the more they will help you out with the story!

When you know your characters, you don't have to assume how they'll react to stuff they just will.

Use it to propel your story so you don't have to do all the heavy lifting.

Conner: Unfortunately, we're a package deal.

Parker: We're soulmates!

Conner: You know, part of me thinks that's true. There's a balance to us,

Parker: uwu

Conner: I was put on this planet to clean up after you, and you were put here to make my life a living hell.

Parker: SOULMATES! 🌠

Parker: We did come into this world at the same time.

Conner:... Seven months apart?

Parker: It was written in the universe.

Conner:... That we would be born at a completely random time months apart from each other???

Parker: In the same year! In the same universe! >:(

Fuck your word count!

༺𖤐๋࣭ ⭑🕸🦇🕸๋࣭ ⭑๋࣭ 𖤐༻

"Focus on your word count," "Write 2,500 words a day," "Real writers set monthly word goals."

SHUT UP! Your word count doesn't matter. You're just stressing yourself out.

It doesn't matter if you write one word today or 10,000! At least you wrote something! Focus on that.

Quality and sanity of quantity.

Pt. 4

Be honest with yourself but also be gentle.

Making yourself cry is not conducive to anything.

All that shit you don't want people to know? Write it.

·:*¨༺𖤐☆✮☆𖤐༻¨*:·

There are a lot of topics people don't like to talk about, right? Whether it's stuff society has taught us to not talk about, like sex, or stuff that's just really personal, that we'd like to keep to ourselves. That's totally fine, but you shouldn't keep that shit bottled up.

A great writing and mental health exercise is to explore that by writing it.

For example, I've never liked to think about or talk about death. So I dove right in and decided to write a very short story about the processes of death in a way that was more palatable to me.

It was a great way to confront the big scary on my own terms, and while I don't feel completely exorcized of the anxiety, it's great to get some of it out.

You could even take this one step further and burn it or rip it to shreds as a physical and philosophical way of destroying all of it.

Everyone:

Literally no one:

Aaron randomly scrambling to get a pen: Oh, sweet baby Jesus!

Conner: Jeez! What?

Aaron: 111,111,111 times 111,111,111 equals 12,345,678,987,654,321!

Nate: ... did you smoke a joint or something?

Aaron: ??? No?? Why would I??
