read so many books as a kid that i basically taught myself how to write... and now i always run into the exact same problem in every single writing class i’m ever in, which is that.... i genuinely want someone to pLEASE teach me how to write using a formula😔😔😔😔😔😔😔and no one ever will :(((

like... i don’t wanna write conceptual, interesting, thematic, literary short stories ... i wanna write janet evanovich style harlequin fanfictions. that’s IT.

#im dead*ss serious too #*deep voice* F*CK GOOD WRITING #i literally begged my english teacher situationship guy to give me rules to follow #and he was like 'mmmm no u gotta learn to write freely now'#and i was like *scream* I ALREADY DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO #like please just teach me how to write long fanfictions someone please #and my current fiction writing prof said the same thing and i was so smh #can i just turn in a fanfic and call it ironic or purposelly over exaggerated #purposefully*#PLEASE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING EVEN IF THE STORY IS GOOD #and i just bring this up bc when ppl are like 'i sat down and wrote 1k words in one hour :p' i'm like #*stressed meme bloodshot eyes*#you mean you don't labor over every single word to the point of insanity?#SWEATING #like i admire that (speed) so much '#but it was interesting to me to find out this is why genre writing is so difficult for me #cuz my style is literary #but why wont they teach me anything else #where are the romance classes #also it means i can't write academically at all but ppl think i can #and im just like. haha. no #caitie blabs
