Kun Editoin: Editoiminen On Vaikeempaa Kun Kirjottaminen, Kärsin Mutta Ehkä Joskus Pääsen Taas Kirjottamaan

Kirjasta Kissojen maailmanhistoria - Petri Pietiläinen

i really need people to stop telling me i cant write 9000 books in my lifetime like i really dont need your negativity

do you ever just find the most inscrutable shit in your notes app from three months ago and think what the fuck was i planning to do with this? because me too

if your main character isn’t at least a little morally questionable, are they even fun to write? give them some issues. let them be messy.

romance is lame and overrated i love mentor/mentee relationships in fiction and especially when theyre sort of fucked up

one time a professor asked me if i’d ever wanted to write anything “more important” than romance. and i said no. i was put on this earth to write about sad people kissing. and if another writer ever came up to me and said they wanted to write 400 pages containing nothing but a character baking a single loaf of bread each day, then i would tell them to do that. people don't write something because it's important. they write about something and that is what makes it important

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.

the cool thing about writing is that if you finish the book you get a free book at the end

This is your signal to let yourself write the deranged, uncomfortable, disgusting fiction that you've been thinking about.
