“You young vampires will never understand how good you have it these days. Back in my day, we had to drink blood with radium and asbestos in it, and we liked it.” “Okay, grandpa.” “I mean, we glowed in the dark for WEEKS after that, and we never complained.” “Okay, grandpa.”

Quick Tips for Writing Heartbreak Tension

They can’t look at each other because if they do, all those emotions are going to come rushing back.

One of them goes from pouring out their heart to just giving dry, emotionless answers. It’s like a wall went up instantly.

They start bringing up the good times, but it only makes the heartbreak worse. Cue the awkward silence after.

“I wanted to tell you that…” but then they stop, realizing it won’t change anything.

One acts like the breakup or heartbreak didn’t matter, but the other sees right through the fake smile.

Don't abandon your writing

It’s pretty common to lose love for a project at some point during the writing process. If that happens, it’s always okay to step away.

But (and this is the important part), don’t quit! Take a break, give yourself a breather, but always remember to come back. Your story deserves to be told.

sometimes you just need to write nonsense and call it progress.

Writing Notes: Tips for your First Novel

Consider the following when you're writing your first novel (and every one after that).

Develop a habit of writing. Don’t wait for a muse. Write first and inspiration will come.

Create a realistic deadline. Consider implementing a weekly deadline that you can work toward (e.g., one chapter by the end of the week).

Choose a daily word count goal.

Work on a daily schedule. Add your writing block to your schedule (e.g., write every day from 6pm to 8pm).

Take frequent breaks. Don’t attempt to write for two hours straight. Take a short break after every 30 minutes to stretch your legs and refresh.

Create and work from an outline.

Read other books. Don’t stop reading just because you’re writing.

Don’t procrastinate. Write right now. It will never be the perfect time to write a novel. You have to make it happen.

Get feedback from fellow writers early on.

[minimalist-quotes]

True intimacy happens when you feel completely safe in someone's energy. Their aura invites all of you in. When another person feels like home, you know there's a divine connection.

When you were selected as the Chosen One, you were showered with gifts, training, and a new cushy room in the castle. The Kingdom thought you would automatically be on their side, but the memories of your impoverished childhood will never fade.
