the first draft won’t kill you. it will just chew you up and spit you out and make you better. like emotionally. or like. worse. but in a literary way.

"What came first, the chicken or the egg?" Asked the sphinx. To which you answer: "The egg. It's the egg." You need to spend an hour explaining descent with modification before it begrudgingly acquiesces.

How to write hospital scenes
From someone who’s definitely been in too many and would very much like a refund...ツ
⊹ Waiting rooms are emotional purgatory. They’re too bright, too quiet, and weirdly timeless. Fluorescent lights buzzing, TVs playing muted news no one watches, coffee that tastes like burnt stress. People aren’t relaxing in there, they’re just existing, awkwardly pretending their phones are interesting while dissociating at 40% battery.
⊹ Everyone talks in a whisper, but not because it’s respectful, no, it just feels wrong to speak normally. Like the walls might be listening, like if you talk too loud, something worse might happen, even the loud people get quiet in hospitals.
⊹ Overnight stays are hell. hospital chairs? medieval torture devices with upholstery. even if someone’s trying to nap next to a patient, they’re not sleeping. They’re half-listening to the symphony of beeping machines, nurse shoes squeaking, the occasional cough, and distant Code Something crackling over the intercom. it’s anxiety with a blanket.
⊹ The smell is unforgettable, like it’s not just antiseptic. it’s plastic and cafeteria meatloaf and sweat and fear and the smell of a place where people are very much not okay. the first time your character walks in, it’ll hit them like a wall. later, they might not even notice, or maybe it’s the only thing they can smell for days after.
⊹ Talking to doctors is a weird performance. You're trying to be calm, they’re trying to be calm. But no one is calm, your character wants to ask 47 questions and not sound desperate. The doctor explains things like they’re narrating a science video, and when they leave, someone will immediately go “wait... we forgot to ask” every. single. time.
⊹ Monitors beep constantly. half the time, it’s nothing. A wire got loose, someone rolled over. But the second it is something, the vibe shifts fast. Nurses appear like ghosts, machines start going off, and everyone starts moving. And your character? they might freeze, or panic, or forget they have lungs. Go with whatever makes sense for them, but make it visceral.
⊹ Time goes full funhouse mirror. Ten minutes waiting for test results feels like a year. A full hour stretches into eternity, meanwhile, three hours can pass without anyone realizing it. You can use this in your pacing, make it drag when the waiting is unbearable.
⊹ Hospital cafeteria food: Garbage. It’s either offensively bland or stupidly overpriced. The grilled cheese is six dollars and tastes like regret, and someone will 100% cry into a cold sandwich at 3am, because grief doesn’t care where you are.
⊹ People start fixating on tiny, random things. They can’t control the big stuff, so their brain zeroes in on a sock slipping off, a crooked IV pole, the repetitive drip-drip-drip of medication. Let them obsess over something small, it’s how the brain copes with being completely powerless...

bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.

no one talks about how much of writing is just whispering “does this make sense” to the void

Explaining my gender in 10 words or less. (No. I disagree, longer is better. So, here is a full poem about my gender.)
My gender is
Purple flouncy dresses
And pink frilly bows,
Long pearl necklaces
And pretty shawls over elbows.
🎀
My gender is
Tartan scarves and skirts
In place of long packed away
But beloved tartan shirts
(Worn open with tank tops always).
👗
My gender is
Long blond hair,
Once worn in a short bob
Where the bobbed hair was dear
But felt bland, unattractive and a Karen-like snob.
👱🏻♀️
Or maybe my gender
Isn't how I present myself really
Or what I wear
To face the world everyday.
✨️
My gender is
Long nights knitting
To Romance programs on the telly,
Reading Fantasy and fanwritings
On the dim glow of a mobile or eReader.
📱
My gender is
Acting on stage, where performance is an art
(Never call me actress, always actor,
Since I can play all the same parts),
Back when my lacking health was not a factor.
🎭
My gender is
My once dream of teaching
A crowd of children,
Watching them growing up (given up due to my health worsening),
And my new dream of writing for children.
📚
Now, here are all the words
I'm not supposed to say
But I'm going to include
Them in this poem anyway:
✨️
My gender is
Cis, Woman, female, feminine, she/her/hers,
Treated like I'll never be good enough in form or function,
Always being dismissed by those around me, not just healthwise,
And everyone expecting me to marry and have children, regardless of if I want to.
👩👩👧👦
My gender is
Cis, Woman, female, feminine, hers/her/she,
Girls' nights out on the town as together we spill the tea,
Fancy teapots and yummy scones shared with my besties,
And long walks along the beach with my dog alongside me.
🐶
My gender is me.
❤️
by Yuki_White @yukiwhitetm
explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.
go!

Writing Advice #3
Try roasting your setting like you’re ranting to your group chat after a bad road trip. Seriously, don’t just tell me it’s a “quaint village.” Is it the kind of place where time forgot it existed? Does it have, like, three shops that all close at 2pm for mysterious reasons and a town square statue of some guy named “Jedediah” who absolutely committed tax fraud?
The more lovingly hateful you are, the clearer the place gets. Because when we roast things, we get weirdly specific. That specificity is PURE gold. “Dusty” is whatever. “A town where the post office smells like expired glue” is a vibe. It tells me everything I need to know and makes me want to keep reading just to see how much worse it gets.
Bonus points if your narrator is also sick of being there. Angry characters describe places way better than calm ones, it’s just science.
