the good thing about being told that writing about a certain cliché or concept should be avoided “because it’s overdone” is that you can simply. ignore that and write about it anyway if you so desire. like it is that easy

Me, trying to write some sweet, fluff story with a happy ending to heal my soul: and then they hugged and-

Yup, it's that time.

+ holidays + work + travel + final exams + kids!!! + Nanowrimo (lite) + 6pm sunsets + delightfully, wonderfully cold temps

We'd say that we're going to rest and relax but we all know that's a lie. Check us out on social media here or instagram/threads (unrelatedbutpodcast). We'll be posting but we won't be recording.

And if you've got any tips or tricks for managing these (especially as we go into nano month!), please add your best advice!

"I like to write about it in fiction" does not mean "I desire it to happen in real life", and never has.

What you want to write about doesn't necessarily mean anything about you, besides that you want to write about it.

You are allowed to enjoy reading your own stories!

Every writer writes the story they want to tell, so don’t be afraid to read what you’re writing and just have fun. Not everything has to be in service of making your manuscript better.

It’s ok to enjoy yourself.

Things that don't matter when you're writing a story:

what will critics and detractors say about this?

is this as marketable as I can possibly make this?

Things that do matter when you're writing a story:

is this story meaningful for me, the author, to write?

is this the story that I want to be writing?

[unrelatedbut]

It’s that time of year again!

"Oh being a writer must be so cool and artistic"

No being a writer is frantically googling shit like this at 1 am on a work night
