Talking with writers online

Their stories: Amazing grammar, soaring vocabulary, beautiful imagery and prose which flows like a river.

In chats: no capitalisation or punctuation, swears like a sailor, misspellings everywhere, acronyms and abbreviations every five words, idek

#listen #listen do u know how much braining it takes to make the words go? #it is a lot #it’s like wearing fancy clothes all day #and then when you’re at home and comfy #u just put on ur pj’s ( @feynites)

I have never related to a statement more than “do you know how much braining it takes to make words go?”

still amazed that like. 7 years later. this post is still going. it gets like 5-12 notes a day

it’s a heritage post, is what it is.

“If your writing doesn't keep you up at night, it won't keep anyone else up either.” ― James M. Cain

you desire love but push away affection? what are you? written by Dostoevsky?

No, written by eric kripke actually

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

I'm finishing my first novel at 40yo... It's still in the wee beginning stages of editing... Only the gods know when it'll be ready for public consumption ...

It's never too late, don't give up on your dreams!!

Re-blog this if:

- you’re gay - can read - support gay people - want to hold a match between your fingers as you wander the halls of an ancient castle because it’s your only source of light amidst the ghosts of people long past - are an antelope - or want a chocolate bar.

No one will know which applies.

Okay here's how I think it's gonna go.

Homelander opens soldier boys tube thing and soldier boy says "fuck you fuck nuts you're a fucking pussy, I'm gonna visit an old... Friend" soldier boy then runs out of the big military building they keep him in (still naked btw) and then he knocks out a guard wearing jeans and a work shirt over a grey t shirt and steals his clothes and shaves so they can't tell it's him, he then runs to the parking garage where all the government agents park for work and put of every car he breaks into and hotwires a black 67 impala.

When he turns on the radio it's playing carry on wayward son by Kansas and then he drives to wherever Misha's character lives and when he gets there he knocks on the door all nervous and Misha opens the door wearing a trenchcoat over a suit with a blue tie before saying in a very raspy voice "hello dean" revealing that soldier boys real name is Dean they then lock eyes for a second before making out and having hot passionate gay sex for the rest of the episode until in the last 30 seconds Jared walks in and says "hey so get this, according to the lore"

Jensen drifted into consciousness slowly. The first thing he realized was that his ass was cold. The second was that there was something in his mouth. He opened his eyes to darkness. Something was obstructing his vision. When he moved to remove the offending material, he found that he couldn’t move his arms. 

Heart racing, he yanked both arms, trying in vain to free himself. Just as he started to panic, he heard a noise off to his side. He blindly slung his head in that direction.

“You’re mine now, Jensen. It’s about time you realize it.” 

Just posted chapter 2!! Read it on Ao3!
