the astronomy students
drawing your own star charts
staying up late to watch a meteor shower
constellations painted on your ceiling
tracking the planets, noting their paths in a pocket-sized journal
an old wool scarf wrapped around your neck to keep out the cold
marveling over photographs of distant galaxies
retelling the stories of Orion and Cassiopeia
the glittering expanse of a cloudless night sky
moonlight shining through gauzy curtains
driving somewhere remote to see the milky way, far from the light pollution of the city
looking for your place in the cosmos
finding comfort in the vastness of the universe, in your own comparative insignificance
a model of the solar system resting on your desk
old sci-fi novels with battered covers
studying the contributions of Copernicus and Al-Battani and Kepler
watching the moon wax and wane
your favorite blanket wrapped around your shoulders
maps of the constellations, illustrated with figures from the associated myths
wondering about life on other worlds
memorizing the constellations, noting how their positions move as the seasons change
a thermos of hot tea
stargazing with friends, gazing up and watching for shooting stars
learning the physics of stars and planets
a fascination with the unknown
Could you guys imagine if the only sex education people got was from bad fanfiction?
no, that’s a mandrake. The Mandalorian was an equal rights activist who was assassinated in the ‘60s.
the mandalorian? isn’t that bitch the powerhouse of the cell?

When you begin a story that is heavy with technical detail that must be checked for accuracy, the most efficient way of going about it is approaching the first draft with a general sense of the topic. Then, as you write more and more, keep note of details you don’t have or facts you need to find. When you reach the second and third drafts, turn that general idea into specific detail. You’ll know what you need to know at that point, and you won’t waste valuable time doing unnecessary research instead of revising.
Hoard. Your. Sources. Not only so you can cite them to any editors or beta-readers whose knowledge may conflict with what you’ve researched, but so you can refer back to them if you decide to elaborate on the part of the story that required that information in the first place. Always keep a list of links in a document with the specific information you’ve gleaned from it, listed in a way where you can easily navigate and revisit sources and information.

October 29th: A cave with a grove hidden deep within it. Pinpricks of light cast the area in a low haze. There is the smell of loamy soil and copper. A step inside causes a low, almost unnoticeable at first, hum.
October 30th: A party at a stranger’s house. A night of barhopping led here and the world had started tilting on its own hours ago. There is a constant tickle on the back of their neck. Their heart beats speed up.
October 31st: Meeting up with friends in a cemetery, chatting among the tombstones. But someone is missing. Who is it? They count the heads but come up one number more than they had originally. They count again.
