Self care is writing fan fiction that you are the sole target audience for.

The Lunar Chronicles is so funny because at one point the cyborg character sustains water damage and she wakes up to find out one of her friends suggested putting her head in rice

Me, just going about my day: Guinevere: I want to be Spiderman. Me: ... Me: okay so first of all, you're in a fantasy world. Second of all, where in the world did that come from? Guinevere: you have a modern AU for us, don't you? Stick it in there! I can be Spidergirl - like Gwen from Into the Spiderverse! It would fit in perfectly!! Me: ????

do fic readers know that their comments actually influence the course of the story sometimes? i don't mean in a "you need to write it this way because i say so 😡" type of comment, i mean when people are asking questions or really engaging with the plot and the themes in the comments they sometimes bring up things that i didn't even think of, or dig into parts of the story that i've overlooked, or get really interested/fixated on something i was going to just kind of glance over--and it has me going 'oh wait that's actually really interesting, that's a good point' and fully adding or tweaking or changing things about the story going forward. i'm literally adding an entire additional chapter to something right now because someone's comment had me like "oh i didn't dig into that as much as i could have." you have impact!

I’m currently at a church conference and have been too busy to do any writing, and going a couple days without doing something creative tends to make my mental health plummet. I was so tired that I didn’t even have motivation for any one specific project anyway (😔). So during my evening prayers a few nights ago I prayed that I would find inspiration, motivation, and time to write. Even if it was something small.

And then the next evening I met someone who looked exactly like Romero.

I mean, it was kind of ridiculous. He looked EXACTLY like him. Same hair, same facial hair, even acted a little dramatic, it was just. Him.

So. I guess I know what I should be working on

Fanfiction is so silly. I am playing with my dolls and people are coming over to watch. Some of them even clap and give me compliments. And when I'm done playing, I can go and watch other people play with their dolls.

from a side WIP:

“You need to spend a good few hours in the sun.”  “I wish I could,” said Alice. Maybe after she dragged Jack to buy souvenirs, she could convince him to go with her to the beach . . .

this week's word is...

How to play: Find the word in any WIP and share the sentence containing it. Reply, reblog, stick it in the tags, tag us in a new post, or keep it private. All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome.

csethiro ceredin kinda the specialest girl in the world. her solution to all problems is 'KILL THEM WITH A SWORD!!!' she fully thought she was in the first half of pride & prejudice. (she wasn't). she's an academic. she's a hater. she's one of the most accomplished courtiers of her age group. she WRITES LIKE THIS in some niche script and is the only person who does apparently. she felt bad she was mean to her boyfail fiancé & gave him a sword which carries the implication of 'this is the sword for killing traitors from my house and you can kill me with it if I betray you'. she sent the phrase 'WE REGRET EXTREMELY THAT WE CANNOT CHALLENGE HER TO A DUEL AND PROVE HER WORTHLESSNESS UPON HER CARCASE' in a letter to said boyfail fiancé when she'd only met him like three times. she luvs symbolism. she's about to replace her childhood rival as empress. she can yap for days. she will keep the wastrels from him!
