I’m writing scenes which are good, and I don’t know where they are going to fit in the book. But it’s what I call ‘The Valley Filled With Clouds’ technique. You’re at the edge of the valley, and there is a church steeple, and there is a tree, and there is a rocky outcrop, but the rest of it is mist. But you know that because they exist, there must be ways of getting from one to the other that you cannot see. And so you start the journey. And when I write, I write a draft entirely for myself, just to walk the valley and find out what the book is going to be all about.

Big fan of sun motifs in characters not necessarily being about positivity and happiness and how they're so " bright and warm" but instead being about fucking brutal they are.

Radiant. A FORCE of nature that will turn you to ash. That warmth that burns so hot it feels like ice. Piercing yellow and red and white. A character being a Sun because you cannot challenge a Sun without burning alive or taking everything down with them if victorious.

I vote that your writing continues to be:

self indulgent

cringe

weird

bizarre

long

short

sappy

only for your eyes

obnoxious

You're allowed to have your own voice. You're allowed to write something only you want to read. Seize the freedom you were never given in your 8th grade English class!

"do not repeat my mistakes, young high priestess. a unicorn must always follow her heart, but take care to not pull away from the Goddess. She is not jealous but She requires much of your focus. trust an Ancient unicorn, Charisma; do not cleave your heart into pieces. decide what matters most."

I love seeing other people's ocs and getting snippets of their stories like oh my gosh there's a whole world and narrative in your head that I'm getting a small glimpse into isn't that so cool????

Hey guys, I have no clue if I have posted this one before, but this collage was made with old magazines I had at home. I wanted to upcycle them into something new that could be used elsewhere. Hope you like it!

OCs are so fun and I think its awesome that even people who don't plan to publish a story or draw that well will have them. Its just good for you to have toys in your brain to play with.

FLEUR: don't make the same mistakes I did

CHARISMA: oh I won't

FLEUR: you are currently making the same mistakes that I did

CHARISMA: nah it'll be fine

"i want my cake on a silver platter; i want a fistful in my hands. go on and be a big girl, you asked for this, now."

Fleur hair reveal! her magic has to do a lot with mycelia and connecting webs between things, almost like divining.

some of her backstory under the cut!

back when she was 500, she was chosen as the Ascended, a role she loved, until some other things stole her heart's attention away. she followed them and eventually returned to the temple, heart in shreds and tail between her legs. she cut her hair (something never done) and swore devotion again, but she could no longer return to her role as the Ascended, losing her wings and swearing never to seek out that which had turned her heart away. she spends the rest of her immortal days trying to forget.

my darling Charisma and the many pulls on her heart.
