Dark-blue-rainbows - Just Me :)

writer me: god i really don’t want to kill this character :(

me: then don’t? you can just keep them alive?

writer me: sounds fake but ok

Me: I want to write.

Someone else: What's stopping you?

Me: ...

Me: *gestures vaguely* nyehh.

when you’re parents make you do something while you’re in the middle of writing your fic and when you come back you don’t even know what you’re writing anymore

i’ve wanted to post it since november 2020 but i promised myself that i wouldn’t post it until it’s done

Imagine if we lived forever,

Time goes on but we're frozen like ice.

Childhood pets would be here til the end,

Family with you all your life.

Young children would never grow,

People in a coma stuck in a limbo

Between life and death, not alive

But not given the relief of passing away.

Young people are free forever

But that teen mother with three kids

Is chained to them for infinity;

She may physically live forever

But her life ended a long time ago.

And what about when the sun expands,

Consuming the earth and we're left

To float in nothingness, torn from

Limb to limb, pain without death,

Is this nature's punishment for us?

here’s to you for still working on stuff you never mention out loud

please remember that it’s okay to use popular tropes and clichés in your writing. just remember to make them your own, and put your own kinda spin on them. 

don’t let yourself be stopped by what other people say you can or can’t do when it comes to writing. you are allowed to write about whatever you want, regardless of how popular it is in mainstream media. 

edit: obviously, this doesn’t apply to harmful stereotypes, which is incredibly important that we do not write about! (thank you to @stormypaint for the reminder in the tags) 

For all those moments my WIP goes violently off its outline 😓

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?

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

3. Spite
