I've been on tumblr for three days and I can already tell

twitter is a hellsite (derogatory) and tumblr is a hellsite (affectionate)

Aw thank you so much! I'm sorry I didn't reply, I've been really busy recently

Every writing advice post: Just write! Don’t look back! First drafts are meant to suck! Edit later!

Me, re-reading the whole paragraph every time I add another sentence: What was that?

A quick list of things you are not:

worthless.

a waste of space.

weak.

a lost cause.

alone.

4. The tiny, miniscule, impossible possibility that my story turns out amazing and I sell tonnes of copies and they make it into a film and I meet my favourite actors who like the story so much that they want to be the main character

I write my stories for one or more of three reasons:

1. Aesthetic

2. That One Scene

the number one *most important* writing lesson

The number one most valuable writing lesson you could ever be given, in it’s pure simplicity:

WRITE.

Don’t get stuck by spending hours upon hours scrolling through Tumblr, or YouTube, or reading random articles on Google, telling you how to properly write a story. 

The cold hard truth is that the only way you’ll ever truly improve your craft, is by writing, so don’t be afraid to go out there and do it! 

It’s all right if what you write isn’t a masterpiece. Every single thing you write, no matter how much effort is given, or how good you think it is, contributes to your craft improving. 

Go pick up a book. Go watch a movie, or a TV-show. Analyze the story, the arcs the characters are given, how the scenes are built up – Go to your computer, grab a notebook, and start writing. Visualize. You’ve got to visualize. 

Visualizing your scenes is one of the most important things, and you cannot forget to have a clear view in your mind of what your scenes will look like. 

And don’t forget to read your sentences out loud. What sounds good on paper, doesn’t necessarily always sound good when spoken aloud, and vise verca.
