Me: I want to write.

Someone else: What's stopping you?

Me: ...

Me: *gestures vaguely* nyehh.

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

If you think someone’s shirt is cool, tell them! If you think your friend is beautiful, tell them! If you love someone’s art, tell them! Speak goodness into the world, it is time to stop suppressing kind thoughts.

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

writing?? more like self-led therapy

Hello welcome my ADHD themed gameshow, "So you were holding it literally moments ago but now it's gone" the where YOU look for whatever you were just holding while going increasingly mad

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

Image & Poem by Chris Bartlett

Kauneonga Lake, New York

my special talent is putting my characters through hell and then crying about it as if it’s not somehow my fault and COMPLETELY avoidable

Writers when they find a 500-year-old book which has a similar plot-

ME PRESENTING MY GARBAGE FICS TO THE AUDIENCE

OKAY DOINKERS!

This fic *slaps fic's ass* has so many words in it but not so many because I can barely articulate myself in a textpost that you will be AMAZED I was able to write this trash.

Could it be better?

Yes.

Do I care?

Absolutely.

Am I ashamed?

You betcha.

your worth, and whether or not you ‘deserve’ to be alive, isn’t measured by how much you produce. an artist who made 70 paintings in a year isn’t more worthy of life than a college dropout who doesn’t know what they want. your worth is steadfast and it has been since the day you were born, and however much you manage to get done and learn and are (or aren’t) to other people won’t change that in any way.

✨💛 This is the Amazing Person Award! 🏆Once you are given this award you are supposed to paste it in the ask of eight different people, who, in your opinion, deserve it. If you break the chain nothing will happen, but it is sweet to know someone thinks you're amazing inside and out 💛✨

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

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

me: oh look a writing competition for people my age, let’s enter

writer’s block: -twerks its way into my open document-

me: understandable have a nice day -just stares at the blank document thinking about writing rather than actually writing-

*glances at the au i wanna write* *glances at my multiple wips waiting for updates* *glances at the au* *sobs*

so when I'm writing and I can't think of a name I'll just put [insert name here] so I can go back to it later

and my biggest fear is that someday I will publish a novel and one of those will slip through and there will be a [insert name here] in an actual professionally published novel

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 :)

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

me when I write a scene I’m really proud of

being proud of your writing is okay, you’re allowed to hype yourself up!

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. 

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

Sometimes I feel like getting over the hump of writer’s block feels like more of an accomplishment than actually writing the thing itself. So incredibly satisfying, 1000/10

Yup.
