(If You Write For Multiple Of These, Just Pick The One You Write For The Most)

"are you okay?" no I got way too attached to a fictional character and now they're dead

writing advice is fake. just make the little guys do stuff

the stages of writing a novel:

denial

bargaining

crying

i have to stop reading immediately after writing

i'll finish my little short story or chapter or whatever I'm working on and I'll be like oh, i should reward myself with a book. and then i crack open a literary masterpiece and proceed to doubt every sentence i've ever written

Onkohan Tumblrissa ketään suomalaisia kirjailijoita

a constant problem

Me when I plan out a story and want to tell everyone

HOW DO PEOPLE WRITE CONSISTENTLY. HOW. I SPENT 3 HOURS STARING AT A SINGLE SENTENCE YESTERDAY. meanwhile someone out there has written a trilogy this year and i am one (1) typo away from fighting god. send help.

Your best writing happens when you stop worrying about what’s “good” and just write. Messy, chaotic, too-long sentences. Weird, overdramatic dialogue. Scenes that make you feel something. You can always clean it up later, but the rawest, realest writing comes from writing like no one will ever read it.
