Becoming numb to it all is somehow worse than when it ached like a fresh wound.

do you ever feel like you love a character more than their own writers do

Bram has been occupying my mind a lot the last few days, especially after I saw some Arcane fanart of an AU vampire Victor sharing a bloody kiss with Jayce and I have ever since been stuck on the idea of Bram sharing such a kiss with Athios or Zacarias, particularly if it has a deeper meaning than just being a smooch.

Might have come up with something finally.

Athios’s blood is necrotically charged due to his necromantic abilities … normally his abilities decay living tissue or revitalizes the deceased, so maybe when combined with Bram’s vampiric DNA it creates a sort of enzyme [??] that neutralizes the decay and converts it into a regenerative energy—causing a temporary euphoria and warmth between them, like their own fucked-up drug [which makes all the more sense when we consider the very thing that made them how they are is a drug itself, more or less]

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.

Missy thumbed the small pouch tied around her waist. Filled with bone dust, Jamie suspected, as the skeleton was banned from this introduction. She looked about ready to bolt—or worse, make a snide comment—so Jamie slid closer to her and nodded towards the sky. “Odd crow circling overhead,” he whispered. “Larger than normal, don’t you think?” She followed his gaze. He saw the exact moment that she noticed the bird, saw the thinly-veiled panic drain from her shoulders. “What a pest,” she said, the threat of a smile in her voice.

Idk how hot a take it is but sometimes novels should just be left as standalones

You don’t have to be a perfect writer to start writing. The more you write, the better you become.

[revenantlore]

You’re not just a writer.

You’re a goddamn survivor of your own imagination.

You live with noise in your head that never shuts up until you bleed it onto the page, and even then, it whispers, “Make it better.”

I’m always writing new stuff like “oh this is just a throwaway. I will do WHATEVER I WANT in this project” and inevitably it gets good and then inevitably I take it seriously and then have to start a new throwaway project… when will I learn
