I had a dream where Harry transfigured his invisibility cloak in a onesie with socks and a zipper hood to improve his Draco’s stalking skills.

If you're a writer and you see this post, stop what you're doing.

WHENEVER YOU SEE THIS POST ON YOUR DASH, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND WRITE ONE SENTENCE FOR YOUR CURRENT PROJECT.

Just one sentence. Stop blogging for one minute and write a single sentence. It could be dialogue, it could be a nice description of scenery, it could be a metaphor, I don’t care. The point is, do it. Then, when you finish, you can get back to blogging.

If this gets viral, you might just have your novel finished by next Tuesday.

Goddamn it, it’s back.

If it stays back, I might manage to finish a third story this year. Jesus.

[minim-calibre]

I swear, this is now my only writing motivation.

[minim-calibre]

BACK AGAIN??? Sigh. 

[hsavinien]

Okay, sorry if anyone gets sick of this, but it’s the best way for me to get myself to write.

It’s mainly about working hard and proving to people you’re serious about it, and stretching yourself and learning. The mistake a lot of actors make, particularly young ones, is allowing themselves to feel that they’re the finished articles, the bee’s knees, and it’s not true. - Daniel Radcliffe

writing warm up: sense swatches

this is inspired by swatching art materials – the idea is to get a feel for the tools you’re using. in writing, a common tip to make your writing engaging is to use all the senses, so i thought that could be a good way to make the general tool “words” more specific. 

here’s my suggestion for how to do it: write five sentences, each one describing what you or your character can perceive with each of your five senses. 

i think this is fun because i love swatches!!! the vast potential of the swatch page, what a blissful place. but i also love when writing gets tactile and textured, for me those are important descriptions to get in there, so that’s why i think this is a useful warm up!

no offense but “poddar” is a punjabi surname that can trace its origins to punjab and west bengal which is more proof as if we needed it that james potter and his family are south asian

[falincoded]

Person: Why do you talk like that?

Me: It quite conceivably and rather obviously developed as a coping mechanism to hide my debilitating social anxiety and self insecurity behind a facade of arrogant intellect.

Person: You just managed to make something really vulnerable and profound about yourself sound like an insult to me and now instead of talking about it I’m annoyed and confused.

Me: Precisely.

Well I don’t know about you, but Harry Potter can’t put this on his resume

➤ “remember that jerk who stole your wallet the other day? it was him, my brother, he’s really really sorry” AU

➤ “i won’t destroy the Earth, but in exchange I want that -” “excuse me? who are you calling that? i’ve got a name? and stop pointing at me, that’s rude. also, no? i can’t be taken away by aliens today, i’ve got another appointment” AU

➤ “you cannot keep me” “oh, you’ve been with me for 8 years. you had me feeding you, bathing you and stuff. and now, you’re all my true form is this, i’m a werewolf who was new at werewolfing so i was stuck, but now i want to go away? you cannot keep me? really? after all this time?”  AU

➤ you’ve got a crush on the single lady’s son living in the house next to yours, but for some reason he always scowls at you. you and your friends get drunk one night and one of them has the crazy idea, “why don’t you try serenading him, huh?” it’s crazy, but you’re drunk. you don’t know which is the guy’s room so you pick a random one, and mid-song both the mom and the guy’s heads pop out from the window. “I KNEW IT! YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH! YOU’RE AFTER MY MOM!” “what? no, no, you’ve got it wrong-” “THEN WHY WERE YOU UNDER HER WINDOW?!” oooooh, so that’s why he does not like you. AU
