People Who Say 'just Write For Yourself' (me) Have Never Met The Absolute Demon That Lives In My Head

Writers are scary because we’ll take personal trauma and think, "Hmm… what if this happened to my fictional characters but worse?"

u ever just look at all the stuff u love and think wow i love this stuff

most important part of the writing process actually is when you loop a single song on max volume and stare at the word document and imagine the characters doing things for 14 hours. this is known as getting in the zone

I know this is the website where we talk about artists and writers doing anything other than making art or writing, but man, we REALLY undersell how good it feels to actually work on your stuff.

Like you hit your word count for the first time in a week and its like

Yes, I am writing a deeply vulnerable exploration of the psyche and the human condition.

Yes, I am writing about blorbo getting railed nasty style.

They are the same work. This is not a contradiction.

Two rules for creating anything.

1) Make it weird.

2) Make it with love.

people need to stop treating fictional characters like they're real people

it's so annoying

"simping over this character is objectifying them!!!" THEYRE LITERALLY OBJECTS. THEY DONT EXSIT. THEY CANT BE OFFENDED, MADE UNCOMFORTABLE, ETC, BECAUSE THEY DONT EXIST.

I'm sorry but I have one draft that I never finished but I laugh every time I see it

Okay, how many WIPs do y’all normally have at once? I tend to have 1 main WIP and 1-2 side WIPs.

Muunmuassa tästä syystä kirjoitan salanimellä. Mutta äitini on älykäs. Kun olin lapsi, hän löysi jokaisen tavaran jonka väitin kadonneen - joten luultavasti hän löytää myös minut.
