Being A Romance Writer Has Truly Warped My Perception Of Love And Romance Irl In A Sense That I Have

i can’t tell if ‘my boy only breaks his favorite toys’ is as underrated as i think it is or if i just relate to it *that* hard that i can’t understand how it hasn’t had it’s moment yet….

one thing about me, i love a sad bop!

“once i fix me, he’s gonna miss me.” he sure is!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I become a writer?

Write.

But I don't know where to start.

Write.

But I'm worried.

WRITE.

What if nobody likes it?

every time a man declares their hatred for taylor swift, it only makes me love her ten times harder. like i can literally feel the love i have for her growing stronger by the second, until i’ve reached full taylor-swift-loving potential

dreams are crazy because why did i just dream of my ex jumping off a building in front of me literally traumatizing me and now i’m thinking of him while he’s probably drunk, partying, and fucking some other girl for cinco de mayo……..

happy cinco de mayo!!!!🩷

in the mood to sell my house, set fire to all my clothes and hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons

cross my heart by prisila sweetheart. currently only available on kindle unlimited through amazon🧁💗

anyone else have to remind themselves from time to time that they’re in charge of their characters and the plot line? meaning you can quite literally make them do *whatever* you want?

idk why i tend to forget that sometimes. i’ll often find myself pondering certain ideas i get and think to myself “hm, no. i couldn’t possibly do that.”

when i quite literally can???

like i just had the craziest storyline idea for three of my characters and thought to myself “no, i can’t do that. that’s too big of a game changer.”

the thing is, i could do it. and i probably will😭 god this is too much fun. i feel like a mad scientist who’s been given too much power

ok i’m in desperate need of advice!!!

the window is currently open for character regression for one or two or my characters but idk if should do it or not???

the only reason i’m doubting is because i’m kind of scared to😭 but the opportunity is there and i do think it could be interesting for the plot moving forward.

esp for the two characters i have in mind. god it’s hard to explain without spoiling my story but how do we feel about character regression? should i just say eff it and go for it?

to paint a picture: it’d be one of those instances where a character has reverted back to their old ways because of a “straw that breaks the camels back” moment, but deep down inside, they still care, they’re just trying to cope with all the hurt they’re feeling.

If you’re writing something that has a difficult topic in it, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PUT A TRIGGER WARNING AT THE START.

Your viewers can then make a choice to engage in your work. If they don’t, they are simply looking out for their mental health so they don’t get triggered emotionally. Which could be damaging. You actively lay out to the viewer what to expect going in.

A trigger warning also shows that you have respect for the topic you’re discussing. It also builds your follower’s respect and trust in you. Trigger warnings show that you are respecting your audience and putting them first.

You also respect mental health by doing this, showing that you understand the impact the topics are. You show empathy to the people you write your work to.

It promotes respectful writing. Writing that is mindful and humble.

You will not only get respect, but also keep some people safe mentally.

kind of alarming how all the thriller/horror story ideas i’ve gotten have come from dreams/nightmares i’ve had😁 it pays to have a twisted, fucked up mind.

i’ve never written a thriller/horror story so i’m very excited to further explore the genre one day. i totally haven’t already written a few test pieces/scenes.

god, if you all could take a peek into my writing ideas folder😭 pure chaos. idk how to simply focus on one thing at a time. i’m like an overzealous dog with the writing zoomies.
