For All Those Moments My WIP Goes Violently Off Its Outline 😓

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

Winter Jasmine/

Here Now

earliest morning, golden aura

inaugurates the policy of the day:

a blazing bonfire of mandarin kisses

creates an inferno of radiant beauty

heat and light, illuminate and ignite

hope above a frostbitten, february horizon

promise of warmer days to come

after winter's mountains of snow

and castle walls, iced in icicles

dissipate into winter jasmine,

snowdrops, crocus and daffodils

bouquets of blooming blossoms

that spill splashes of magic

permeate the mood of the moment

with hues of exuberance and pure joy

excitement of being here, now

Kauneonga Lake, New York

If anyone wants to tell me about their plot, characters, or anything really then I'm happy to listen!

I REALLY want to talk about my new plot idea (not sure whether to write it as a screenplay, story, or save it as a comic idea) but at the same time, I really don’t want to bother anyone hsbsbsb🥲

Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.

— Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Me: *is the writer*

Me, after I write a twist: oh shit! I did not see that coming!

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?

Writing really keeps you on ur toes bc u can be just dancing along the keyboard ur fingers just tip tappin away and then u suddenly get stuck on how to describe a character’s hair. And when will it happen whos to say :)

You ever suddenly realise that... if you want to write something You Actually Have To Write It

When I open a blank word document and my story hasn't started itself ⬆️

When I open my WIP after two weeks of not writing and it hasn’t finished itself:

“Shout out to everybody who’s trying to get their life together. Working on yourself is the hardest part of life. The rest comes after.”
