“You know that books are safety and escape and wisdom and peace and the things that get you through. Whether they are showing you the best way to prepare mushroom soup, or breaking your heart with someone else’s loss so you can better bear your own, or making you laugh when there is nothing funny in your life, or making you afraid so that real life seems less fearful. You understand.”

― Found in a Bookshop by Stephanie Butland

the end of the semester is here!

Well, it's been a very calm semester with only two classes to deal with, but I'm going to miss the homework anyways. Today was a day of productivity, wrapping up final assignments and preparing for my final essay for my poetry class. Here's my to-do:

Write commentaries on final two poems

Write commonplace assignment

Prepare outline for final essay

Make a personal study plan for over the summer

I'm excited for a heavier load of classes in the fall, and to have all the time in the world to read, write, and make art this summer! Right now I'm still reading the same books I posted about before, but making good progress on all of them! The third book in "The Devoured Worlds" series is coming out in early May, and I have to lighten my reading load so I can be ready to dive into that! I've preordered it at my local bookstore, so all the second week of May I'll be patiently waiting by the phone for the call :)

I've been feeling very excited for the summer, but also a sense of coming-of-age. It feels like I'm really becoming an adult now, and I love it! I'm so excited for this new chapter of my life full of learning in all the ways possible.

Love,

Minnow <3

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.

I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…

Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?
