Things that you are going to see: me struggling through my writing journey while laughing maniacally, and art (lots of it). I hope you decide to stay, but won't hold it against you if you don't.

Thank you & Goodnight!

How do you feel about driving?

I can drive, I am good at driving, I enjoy driving.

I can drive, I am good at driving, I do not enjoy driving.

I can drive, I am bad at driving, I enjoy driving.

I can drive, I am bad at driving, I do not enjoy driving.

I haven't learned to drive, I think I would enjoy driving.

I haven't learned to drive, I do not think I would enjoy driving.

I can't drive anymore, I was good at it, I enjoyed driving.

I can't drive anymore, I was good at it, I didn't enjoy it.

I can't drive anymore, I was bad at it, I enjoyed it.

I can't drive anymore, I was bad at it, I didn't enjoy it.

this pride month we’re all going to be radically pro transgender. or else.

[userfish]

hey so this means radically pro ALL transgender. don’t put limitations on this. all trans people are radically accepted here.

[emptymanuscript]

I simultaneously love and hate this.

When you're unable to solve an IT problem at work, there really is nothing quite like having it escalated all the way up the ladder. With every step, there is a degree of smugness about how real my problem is, and that yes, I was right to have trouble with this.

[crowns-of-violets-and-roses]

You can get a minor version of this if one IT person solves it but they spend a bunch of time repeating things you’ve already tried and when they eventually solve it it’s by doing something you wanted to try but didn’t have the requisite permissions to do

[coral-skeleton]

Was in a situation where neither I, nor my boss knew what was causing the problem, so we ended up calling one of the head engineers, and ive never experienced anything quite as validating as the moment where said head engineer, after spending several minutes just staring at the problem, quietly said "what the fuck"

[valtsv]

time to make a post on tumblr. surely no one will interpret it to be as offensive and bad intentioned as possible.

Managed to eke out about 120 words today. I almost didn't write today, but I couldn't go to bed before getting something down.

I often struggle at the beginning of challenges and fall behind on my goals which turns into a whole lot of bullshit and no actual writing.

So, I'm determined to start slow but strong with this one.

It helps that this project is specifically for me. My opinion of it is the only thing that matters. But in order for me to form an opinion writing must be done.

Good night ya'll. Hope the first day of the month was good to you and I'll see ya'll in a couple days. 💜

i think being able to identify and deconstruct an irrational feeling should make it go away. i literally solved your riddle puzzle master can u let me OUT the damn TORTURE LABYRINTH

today there was a “flash mob” set up by the seniors because it was their second to last day so they blasted the macarena over the loud speaker and did the dance in the main lobby but our headmaster knew about it so it wasn’t even funny but whilst walking past the elevator i found out why they really did this so called “flash mob”

it was a distraction

they put chickens in the elevator

[tipsykipsy]

This was wild because I forgot your high schoolers are called seniors and I thought you were talking about old folks

[grossaustralian]

“it was their second to last day”

[ashlideion]

Ok! So, I've decided to take part in the summer writing challenge being put on by the @the-wip-project this summer.

My overall goal is just to get back into writing again. But my secondary goals are to complete 100 words a day and to have a complete draft by August 31st.

I'm also giving myself extra credit :

* 1 outline

* 1 story bible (just a fun thing I've always wanted to do)

(There's a 3rd one, but I'm gonna keep that one to myself for the time being.)

I'll be working on the first book I ever wrote to keep this low stakes for me, and yeah...

I'm going to hold myself to posting updates a couple times a week to combat burnout.

Happy writing to all those writing!

[ashlideion]

@moonshinemagpie , @narastories here's a basic definition of a story bible :

I'm basically looking to put together a binder that details my story from start to finish so that when I do re-writes and edits I don't have to worry about missing details.

& also so I have a template for other books going forward.

I got the term from a mutal on here who talked about it years ago, and the creators of avatar the last airbender who if I'm remembering correctly had a series bible with sections for every season.

i just feel like we dont have time for this right now

[astarlingdiscovery]

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I have learned one critical thing about writing and it is this: if you name a robot dragon after a dead dog then all the readers will imprint on him immediately

[queermarzipan]

listen what were we supposed to fo you made the robot dragon so lovable

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I made him a sad wet meow meow who is also kind of an arsehole

[produdfctititty]

Derin that is literally tumblr’s collective favourite character

[lesbianshepard]

Current twitter drama is Europeans confidently declaring that they don't need to drive or use overpriced public transport to get to the MetLife stadium for the World Cup; they will simply walk down the highway to get there. Girl it's New Jersey. They're gonna splatter you for fun.

[lesbianshepard]

If you manage to get on the turnpike before the cops stop you, a soccer mom is gonna do the Jersey slide in a RAV4 and turn your entire group into a wet speedbump

[bunjywunjy]

this? you want to walk down this????

please say sike

[bunjywunjy]

IT'S NOT A FUCKING STREET ITS AN 8-LANE SUPERHIGHWAY THAT GOES OVER A SWAMP

[hapalopus]

footpath

[bunjywunjy]

that is grass. just like ur ass, if you try to walk this thing

[phantomomo]

Image me gently taking your hand as I tell you the following:

This is ABSOLUTELY a perfectly fine footpath.

In fact, with how much space I’m seeing here, it is entirely plausible, that the European hordes will just create a temporary little Wanderweg right next to the highway. With that much space they might not even have to interfere with traffic.

But also have you seen the space between your highways? I‘d say the gaps each easily fit another whole stream of European walking hordes. Or maybe even two going opposite directions :D

[bunjywunjy]

tightly grips your hand with both of my sweaty hands.

the grass is not a permanent feature. there just happens to be a chunk of it there. the side of the road can vary from grass to swampwater ditches to steep embankments to absolutely nothing within a very short distance.

they will call in every highway enforcer in the state and mass incarcerate the lot of you before they allow you to Darwin Award yourselves across 6 lanes of traffic into an international incident or, (their real concern) impede the progress of the single most important north-south interstate corridor in america, ball kicky game be damned.

(I'm starting to believe that a fair number of you in the notes have We're Better Than Stupid Americans embedded so deeply into your cultural identity that you will Just Not Listen to anything we say to you about the material circumstances about the place we live in, rather than taking us at our word that there is a reason that most Americans travel the way we do and it's a good reason.)
