The process of writing a book:

“What has the actual lapse of time got to do with it? It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”

1) pigtails aren’t long enough to “pull on” anymore

2) her bangs are more choppy and fun rather than seductively “framing her face”

3) her boobs aren’t half a foot off her ribcage (I’m guessing they made her wear a padded bra in Suicide Squad)

4) Her skimpy clothing looks more like a choice rather than the tired “women’s clothes strategically ripped” trope

5) she’s not wearing a fucking dog collar

it looks like she dressed herself and had fun with it as opposed to it being painfully obvious a man dressed her

profeminist

6) The camera is centered on her face not her chest.

You see this is what people should be talking about when they say it’s a character’s “choice” to dress a certain way. Skimpy clothing doesn’t have to scream “I’m here for you to consume” it can be “I’m wearing this because it’s fun and whether you like it or not isn’t my problem”

Also we all know Harley is a disaster bisexual and that gloriously hideous outfit is perfect for her

If y’all wanna know the true power of hate, just remember that Alan Turing, the breaker of the enigma code in WWII, was driven to suicide by being forced to undergo chemical castration as a punishment for his homosexuality.

Historians say he saved 14 to 21 million lives.

I’d also like to say in the time we studied WWII in school, the history textbooks never mentioned him. I had never heard of the guy until I watched “The Imitation Game” which I 110% recommend you watch if you haven’t.Alan Turing was a blessing to humanity who saved (once again) 14 to 21 million lives, and he is left out of history because he was gay.

And this is just one example?? So many brilliant and heroic people are left out of history because of their race, their gender, their sexuality, their religion, and it’s just because some bigots in positions of influence get to decide what parts of history are remembered.

This man has had a profound effect on the world, it’s estimated he shortened the war by 2 years, saved countless lives and was the father of modern computing. Without him the world would be a very different, and very dark place.

He wasn’t just chemically castrated. The injections they have him were intended to decrease his libido as part his sentence for “gross indecency”. About 2 years after his trial he was found dead in his apartment next to a half eaten apple that was filled with cyanide (which became the inspiration for the Apple logo).

Turing is one of the most amazing people in all of history. He developed our modern method of computing (see: the Turing Machine) and advanced computer science by immeasurable amounts. And he dies when he was 41. Just imagine if he lived in a world where he was accepted. Imagine the technology we would have today and how many more lives would have been saved. No person deserves what Turing got, especially not someone as brilliant as him.

Harry gives me such Steve Harrington vibes, once he realizes his flaws and works to fix them he’s going to be one of the best people ever and you can’t change my mind

my favorite thing about winter is that you can wear big sweaters, drink hot chocolate, sleep under a duvet and fireside moments with a good book or movie ❣️

Alrighty, last week I posted about an awesome website called Polyvore which I use to create outfits for my characters! Today I wanna talk about another great website that has helped my writing SO MUCH!

Realtime Board is an online whiteboard/pinboard type application and it is my little writing Heaven! I am a big planner. I love to see all my ideas spread out and easy to access and I was really finding it hard to keep a notebook for my story ‘Twisted Fates’ because I had so many ideas that connected or conflicted and having them all in a notebook didn’t make it easier to comprehend. So thank gosh I found this website.

Every idea I have, I stick up there. I write out quotes, descriptions, I have character profiles, family trees and the plots for the books all on this site. It’s all easy to use (especially with the new update) and because it’s online I can easily access it anywhere and I don’t have to be like ‘OMG I FORGOT MY NOTEBOOK’! Another awesome thing is that they just launched it on mobile browsers so you can use it on the go! You can easily add pictures or files and links, pretty much anything you need!

I can’t even recommend this site more! I swear by it, I recommend it to all my friends, even for simple school stuff, it’s just a fantastic website! If you’re a writer then definitely get involved with this because Realtime Board will save your sanity.

Currently holed up with a dear writer friend in a rickety Victorian in Connecticut, working on a secret writing project. I’m weary of secrets so I’m gonna be delighted to announce one of them on Tuesday.
