Pick-me-ups For Writers

pick-me-ups for writers

for the self-conscious beginner: No one makes great things until the world intimately knows their mediocrity. Don’t think of your writing as terrible; think of it as preparing to contribute something great.

for the self-conscious late bloomer: Look at old writing as how far you’ve come. You can’t get to where you are today without covering all that past ground. For that, be proud.

for the perfectionist: Think about how much you complain about things you love—the mistakes and retcons in all your favorite series—and how you still love them anyway. Give yourself that same space.

for the realist: There will be people who hate your story even if it’s considered a classic. But there will be people who love your story, even if it is strange and unpopular.

for the fanfic writer: Your work isn’t lesser for not following canon. When you write, you’ve created a new work on its own. It can be, but does not have to be, limited by the source material. Canon is not the end-all, be-all.

for the writer’s blocked: It doesn’t need to be perfect. Sometimes you have to move on and commit a few writing sins if it means you can create better things out of it.

for the lost: You started writing for a reason; remember that reason. It’s ok to move on. You are more than your writing. It will be here if you want to come back.

boy: send nudes? ;)

me: *sends a picture of stars*

boy: um wtf is this?

me: its me. its us. its humanity, stripped. this is our true nakedness- we are painted with stars and consumed by the cosmos, only to come back again brighter than before. my heart is the sun and my soul is the void.

so get this, they had a perfect script, destiel endgame, full gay fest in Heaven, but then the ultimate shitstorm of 11/5/2020 happened and they chickened out, cut Cas off and had to shoot the whole “after Dean died” montage fiasco in two week and that’s the only justification for a dead possum wig and blurry Eileen I’ve got

As a holiday gift to the rp community as well as my 700th follower gift, I’d like to introduce my very own FACECLAIM DIRECTORY ! It is full with over 500 faceclaims and includes their age, ethnicity, gender identity, and occupation for an easy search. If you see a mistake please message me and I will get it amended as soon as possible (keep in mind that some of the ages are off by a year). I will be updating this page every so often, so always check back for new faces or if you have a suggestion, feel free to drop it into my inbox!

disco elysium telling us that there's hope and salvation in a shitty war-torn world is actually so beautiful. disco elysium telling us that screwing up your (previous) life is okay, you just gotta pick up the pieces and move forward. disco elysium telling us there's hope, that the night is always darkest before the dawn. it's refreshing to have a post apocalyptic world turn out to be not depressing because fuck it, we're gonna make it better, right?
