Now repeat after me: I am an evil mastermind. I make characters’ lives painful for fun.
Reblog if you want a terrible, 3 sentence fan fiction in your ask, based on your url
THIS HAS OVER 40,000 NOTES AND WITHIN FIFTEEN MINUTES I FOUND THIS IN MY MESSAGES:
“and then i saw him walk across the room. he got very close to me and whispered “back that sass up”“
80,000 NOTES AND I GOT ONE!
“ He descended upon me, that pink archangel, with those pink and ripe nipples. “
12 minutes “Oh not. Not another fire bender!” I said to myself. But then he came up behind me and grabbed my ass. So he’s cool now I guess 288,250 notes
HALF AN HOUR AT MOST “Its okay,” he said leaning his walking stuck against the wall and removing the young man’s glasses “ let me frost your roll” matt the blind cinnamon roll blushes as his core softened for his new lover.

Please
I need
Please!
blease,,,,
I have a mighty need.
I’m kinda excited on what I’ll get!
Struggling writer: It just doesn’t make sense.
Struggling writer: All of these scenes work great by themselves, but for the life of me I can’t make them connect with one another.
Struggling writer, about to invent non-linear framing: Hey, wait a minute.
#non-linear framing: telling your audience ‘you figure it out if you’re so smart’ since 1759
Facebook / Twitter / Ko-fi / Buy the book
Someone: So what is your novel? Middle grade? YA? Adult? NA?
Me:
Weak Trope: Having a character’s driving motivation be REVENGE up until the last second when they pull the “revenge won’t bring my wife/sister/town/three-eared dog back” and leave the bastard they’ve been hunting down alive.
Strong Trope: Hello! My Name! Is Inigo Montoya! You Killed My Father! Prepare! TO! DIE! *corners count rugen* Beg for your life *slashes cheek* Offer me anything I want in the world! *slashes other cheek* I WANT MY FATHER BACK, YOU SON OF A BITCH. *stabs count rugen to death*
I was talking with @writersloth today about writing processes and journeys, and all that fun philosophical about writing when this hit me.
Writing is like a marathon.
Not a race. A marathon.
There’s a stark difference between the two. A majority of runners are not out there to win the race, just to survive it - cross the finish line that they’ve set for themselves, get a personal best.
And that’s what writing is.
Each of us is writing at our own pace, running our own marathon. Some want to “win” - to finish a novel and publish. Others want to finish - to write a story and share it with the world. While there are others who are struggling along, backtracking, hanging back at water stops, and pausing for walk breaks.
All of these are fine.
Whether you are writing to publish, writing to finishing something, dabbling in characters, experimenting with fan fiction, writing short stories, world building, or whatever it is you choose to do - you’re writing and that’s all that matters.
In running, there’s a saying - that a mile is a mile no matter how fast. The same is true in writing.
But what about if I want to publish, but can’t get over the hurdle of coming up with new characters or dabbling with new plots? What if I can’t finish a project?
Like every runner, every writer starts somewhere.
A runner starts with a mile. That’s you creating a character.
Then a 5K, a 10K, a 15K, a half…then a marathon. Each piece is one step at a time, and each race - no matter how it goes - helps a runner reach their goal.
So why not think of writing like that?
Your story is your goal and your goal alone. So take each step forward to create something miraculous.
The finish line is in sight.

Hey all! I’m a tumblr alum but I just recently made this account so I can connect with more fantasy authors like myself.
If you are an author, especially YA fanasy, you post moodboards inspired by novel characters, you review books, or post/reblog writing resources, especially for vocabulary, reblog and i will follow you!
some things about me and this blog:
My pen name is Anna Maria Sova, I’m 20 years to old, she/her pronouns
I’m working on a whimsical YA fantasy novel inspired by Slavic mythology
I’m a full-time vet student and I haven’t written properly in a while, so getting my footing again will be difficult for sure, especially vocabulary-wise
I’ll be posting daily prompts, re-blogging useful materials, posting character moodboards, art, and snippets from my novel!
I’d love to chat with you guys so don’t be afraid to hmu with any questions about my novel or myself! I need writing buddies <3 If you follow me I’ll follow you back!
There is no greater feeling as a writer than having a Big Moment land with the exact impact you wanted.
hot tip: there’s a lot you can do to make productive use of your time when you find you’re having trouble writing.
i think a lot of young writers get down on themselves when they sit down to write and then hours go by and they can’t get a single word down. one of the best pieces of advice i got from my creative writing teachers over the years is that a lot of the ways you get better as a writer happen when you’re not writing.
so here’s a list of productive things to do when you’re blocked:
go read. seriously. just close the word doc and pick up a book. it’s cliche advice but reading other writers really does make you a better writer. it exposes you to unique vocabulary, narrative devices, writing styles, sentence structures, genres, plot structures, so many different tools that are important for diversifying your writing and making it better.
get into journaling. i recommend journaling to everyone i know, but if you’re a writer i really do think it’s a useful thing to try. doesn’t have to be every day. journaling for you could be just having a notebook on hand that you pick up whenever you have a stray thought. but thoughts lead to ideas which lead to concepts, plots, characters, lines of dialogue, and sometimes entire stories. plus, i find it’s easier to write a stream of consciousness than to write an actual piece. so if a piece of writing is giving you trouble, pick up your journal and just write about what’s bothering you and what’s in your head.
it’s also good to sometimes flip through these every so often if you’re seriously blocked. you’d be surprised what gems you write down when it’s 2am and you’re feeling a little listless.
organize your WIPs. this was one the best things i’ve ever done. remember all of those old WIPs you never did anything with? don’t throw them out! create an organizational system for them. personally, i like to organize them by prose/short fiction/long fiction/essays and then by subject matter since it’s easier for me to find that way. it’ll make them easier for you to go through when you’re blocked. and even if they don’t end up becoming full pieces, there are a lot of cool ways you can use WIPs for writing exercises.
a cool one i do is that i randomly pick two WIPs that have nothing to do with each other (i.e. a personal essay about sexuality and a short story about a witch living in the city) and find a way to marry them together (i.e. a witch living in the city whose magic starts becoming unstable as she starts questioning her sexuality).
chill with other writers. if you don’t have a network of friends who are writers/creatives, go to tumblr and reach out to some of your fic/artist friends. honestly, some of the best ideas i’ve gotten have come from discord DMs where my friends and i are either riffing off of each other or coincidentally talking about something that sparks an idea. hitting your group chats isn’t a waste of time or a method of procrastination. might actually be the first step before hitting a goldmine.
re-read old comments/critiques. i always go back and read old critiques from college workshops or even go back and read some old ao3 comments. it’s a good way to refamiliarize yourself with what you do well and what you need to improve on. sometimes i’ll pull up old WIPs and give them to friends to take a look at. even if it’s rough, it’s always good to get used to getting comments/feedback and keeping track of those. you should always have a list in your head of what you plan to work on/keep an eye on as you write.
read books on writing. if you’ve ever taken a formal writing workshop/class, you’ll notice that your instructor – in addition to giving you writing assignments/exercises – makes you read about how to write. you gotta read books on how to write. think of it like playing the piano. you can practice for 7 hours a day, but if you don’t understand any of the theory you’re not gonna get any better. same goes with writing. when i’m blocked, i pick up stephen king’s “on writing” and skip to my favorite sections. it’s always a good move to get advice from seasoned writers who have been there done that, and personally when i read some really good advice, it inspires me to put it into practice.
don’t ever feel bad for sitting at your computer for hours with no words down or going a week having only written 100 words. writer’s block happens. don’t let it paralyze you. go out and hone your craft. that’s never going to be a waste of your time.
My problem is I spend more time reminding myself that I need to write than actually
fucking
WRITING.
Every piece of writing that you create is a learning process. It’s okay to make mistakes. Just keep going.
i really loved this advice so i had to share it with you
Writer problem #83922:
Thinking a scene might be long or eloquently detailed, but in reality it's only 37 words, all of them adjectives, and it just feels painstakingly long because you spend 83 years and two weeks, trying to finish it.
