One of my most ridiculous character traits is having week long breakdowns about so many things in my life only to go to therapy and be like “umm not sure what to talk about today! :)” Girl if you don’t get your money’s worth

Headcanon that the real reason Carmilla was so preemptively over Alastor being back in town was because between Rosie (excited), Vox (it’s complicated), and the rest of the Overlords (massive gossips. See Zestial.), he’s been the topic of pretty much every conversation in their social circle for the past month.
Alastor: I’m sure you’ve all been wondering where I’ve been.
Carmilla: No. No, I haven’t. And if I have to hear one more word about it, I am going to lose my goddamn mind.
(the three different betting pools running simultaneously were what pushed her over the edge)

Because I do occasionally get folk asking me for writing advice (which blows my mind) and I've been reminded of a valuable one that I was given at uni and often utilise --
Try to end a writing session just before you run out of steam/ideas. For example, in the bit of the novel I'm writing now, my MC will see a notable landmark in her country, and then I'm not entirely sure how I'll transition to the next scene. So rather than write her seeing the landmark and then ending tonight's writing, I'm leaving it there. So, tomorrow when I go back to it, I don't start off by staring at a blank document with no idea of how to proceed. I know exactly what I'm writing first thing, and nine times out of ten the next thing will come to me as I write the bit I already have a strong sense of.

Went to the bookstore today and asked about their mythology section and this frickin guy had the gall to be like "Yeah it's over here, but these are really dense and difficult so let me show you the children's mythology section." I was so baffled I didn't say anything. Normally I would've been very offended, but I couldn't help but laugh because I was like "I've been reading those massive textbook-esque mythology books since I was a literal child as research for my novel, sir. But sure, show me the kid's section, I like reading kids' books too."
