One of the greatest lies a writer can tell themselves is that they will remember the idea that they came up with while they were half asleep, so they don’t need to write it down right away.
All the girls saying how much they like Jonathan, meanwhile, this is the one my brain chooses to land upon
As a certified Saul girlie who once had a relentless crush on that crusty king and drew the most god-forbidden fanart of him- *shudder*, YES… I can see where you’re coming from… if only he was more bby girl and they gave him long, messy hair and they tormented him more… THEN, I’d let that unstable mf step on me-
…Imma need to see that fanart, sis *sweats hornily*
I just finished watching all the released episodes of the House of David series.
And I’ve fallen even deeper in love with Jonathan. The House of David version of Jonathan is absolutely insane… 😻
First of all,
1. He’s incredibly kind.
2. He cries a lot.
3. He probably had a lover who passed away!!
4. He has complicated issues with his brother
He’s absolutely perfect. I’m obsessed.
And my mentally unstable self has fallen in love with his father
1) He loves his family
2) He loves his country
3) He is an older man, because I just can’t with younger guys for some reason
4) Hot dang, I wish he’d choke me like that!
There's nothing more important than writing what you want to read. Don't worry about who will like your book. Don't worry about what market it can neatly fit into. Don't cut corners or blunt edges to satisfy an imaginary person who might dislike aspects of your art. It's yours. Treat it as a pure expression of your soul. Compromise is for cowards.
Nowadays when I have writer’s block, I freeze. When I was 11, it seems to me that I would break the fourth wall and keep going.
Actual story quote from my 11-year-old self:
“Then they all waited and waited for the writer to come up with an idea. And they kept waiting. And waiting. And still, they kept on waiting because the idea section in the writer’s brain was filled with hot gas right about now.”
Hey writers, I’m dealing with an ethical dilemma. I’m wanting to create a country in my fictional world that has races of bipedal animals that act exactly like humans pretty much in the same way that my favorite video game (Eastshade) does, and was wanting to use some of the same animals. Is this plagiarism? I’m using other animals as well.
Lately whenever I try to come up with ideas for my books, the process in my mind just seems to play out like the “creative” episode of Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared.
What is it called when your brain doesn’t want to strain itself to write, yet that’s all you feel like doing?
I want/need to work on my novel and all things related to it, but all my brain seems capable of right now is having NSFW thoughts about my celebrity crush. There has to be a way that I can use this to my advantage…
Reblog if you're a writer who re-reads their own work for funsies.
You reread it for funsies. I reread it because I forgot what the fuck I wrote.
We are not the same.
I do both. Sometimes it’s fun, and sometimes I question my life choices and can be found daintily weeping at 4 am on a weeknight.
i found this image to be quite inspirational, thus i wish to share it. you don't have to make something phenomenal much less rather something exceptional. you must first put it out there and tweak things later because you cannot build off of something you put nothing into. some day you'll regret never putting yourself out there.
create beautiful, wonderful things.
