Cassidy Jackson’s Official Author Blog Following/liking/replying from @cassieschaosdimension 23, she/her will follow back 16-26 unless I feel uncomfortable with the content

[cassjackson-22]

Hey everyone, reintroducing myself here as I once again become active on this account! My name is Cassidy (Cassie, Cass, any variation will work) Jackson and I’m a 20 year old STEM major who writes YA dystopian, realistic fiction, and romcoms (maybe). I am currently getting my ya dystopian Draft Wip ready for beta readers (this is the first draft I’ve ever finished in my life); I am so proud of this!

This will serve as a master list of all things Cassie related where I’m going to attempt to get things up and running. I will be following from @cassieschaosdimension where everything and the kitchen sink is not about writing. If there is something writing related please use this blog as this will be solely focused on my writing. Feel free to tag me in ask games and ask me things in my ask box! I am so looking forward to getting started (again) on this journey!

My #s:

this is just cool = reblogs about writing that have to be on my blog too

cassie moot reblogs = reblogs from my mutuals

cassie rambles about writing = my thoughts about writing

you asked for it :D = anything from my ask box

take one down pass it around = tag games

cassie’s crafting conundrum = my podcast

draft wip = anything that has to do with my (hopefully debut novel)

sol wip = anything that has to do with my coauthor wip

ap lang wip = anything that has to do with my short story

ice skating wip = @procrastinationonvacation knows about this one, the first wip I ever sent them, anything that has to do with this soon to be not shelved seven year old idea

romcom wip = anything that has to do with my romcom idea (I’ve never written a romcom so this could be horrible or amazing)

Master list of wips:

The writer pipeline is: (1) i have an idea (2) i am the only person who has ever had this idea (3) i google the idea (4) seventeen people have already written this idea (5) mine is different though (6) is mine different though (7) mine is different because of the FEELING (8) i cannot explain the feeling (9) i write it anyway (10) it comes out completely different from the idea (11) the new thing is better (12) i have a new idea. we begin again. this is the whole job.

i love when people say "i’d read your book!" like girl me too unfortunately i haven’t written it yet because i am trapped in a cycle of procrastination and the feeling of impending doom

[asterrwritess]

Non-writers never seem to understand the fact that characters have free will.

"you made them, just make them do what you want!"

I can't SUSAN.

[nondelphic]

“you should write every day” bestie i’m trying to live every day. write?? i barely eat enough fruit.

[tokkibean]

writing is so fun until you run out of pre-planned plot and you stand at the precipice and slowly realise that you never really had a plot in the first place

[tokkibean]

TRUE writers suddenly get writing urges at 1am mid-doomscroll and proceed to ramble out the most incoherent plot into a new doc and wake up and then just. stare at it.

[writercultureis]

Writing culture is knowing you overuse a word or phrase so switching them out as you edit, only to find that you switched ALL of them out and now you’re overusing a DIFFERENT phrase in its place

Trying to prove a point to my transphobic parents

Reblog if trans men are REAL, VALID AND HANDSOME MEN, NO MATTER HOW THEY CHOOSE TO PASS

Reblog if trans women are REAL, VALID, AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, NO MATTER HOW THEY CHOOSE TO PASS

And finally, because it's a part of my argument for this point, and also because they are,

Reblog if nonbinary and genderqueer people in general, are REAL, VALID, AND GORGEOUS PEOPLE, NO MATTER HOW THEY PASS

just in case no one tells you today…..you’re worth having around. you’re worth committing to. you’re worth appreciating. you’re worth loving… you're worth reassuring. you're worth risking it all for. you're worth everything...

[solivagantingrebel]

editing is so funny because it's like "damn, i wrote 'before' two times within three paragraphs. they are going to stone me in the town square for this"

[scorchroots]

weird thing about writing is that like, even if no one decides to rep me and I don't get published and don't become a bestseller, if not one of those things happen, I've still got the book. I still have the story. It's a thing that you don't have to commit your entire life to but that you never have to give up if you don't want to.

it's just ingrained in my head that I will never stop writing, regardless of whether I'm empirically successful or not, cuz it's not about the success. It's always been about the stories.

[cassjackson-22]

I am now going to revive this dead little page of my writing and make sure things will work out for the best. Please watch out for things happening over the next few weeks! I’m so excited!!

[cassjackson-22]

I haven’t been able to write for days and now with my iPad and my phone playing music, the words are flowing out of me. I hope to write a bunch tonight. I’ll keep you updated!

[cassjackson-22]

Okay I wrote 686 words or so which is amazing for me right now. I’m so proud of myself!!
