"just write a little every day" ok but what if i write nothing for 3 weeks and then suddenly type like i’m being hunted by god

do you fuck with my unwritten story

'what wouldn't you do for someone you love' what WOULD you do for someone you Hate? What's the limit of that hatred? Would you still save them? Do you truly hate them enough to let them be hurt? To let them die?

one of my favorite things to do in limited perspective is write sentences about the things someone doesn't do. he doesn't open his eyes. he doesn't reach out. i LOVE sentences like that. if it's describing the narrator, it's a reflection of their desires, something they're holding themselves back from. there's a tension between urge and action. it makes you ask why they wanted or felt compelled to do that, and also why they ultimately didn't. and if it's describing someone else, it tells you about the narrator's expectations. how they perceive that other person or their relationship. what they thought the other person was going to do, or thought the other person should have done, but failed to. negative action sentences are everything.

#multiple betas told me not to do this the one time i did it bc muh it breaks the perspective STFUUU i like it #it communicates a lot about what the character thinks they could do but chooses not to. which is JUST as important as what they do choose.#sorry to my betas most of you are lovely i don't mean it

writing really is just googling synonyms. that's it. just a constant carousel of "I used this word two paragraphs ago, what is another word for this word"

most important part of the writing process actually is when you loop a single song on max volume and stare at the word document and imagine the characters doing things for 14 hours. this is known as getting in the zone

Me while writing: oh hell yes this is such a good sentence I'm the master of poetic imagery

The writing when I go back to edit:

Idk who needs to hear this but just because your writing isn’t good yet doesn’t mean it’s bad either

got my first rejection everyone clap I'm a real author now

#i do expect a lot of rejections so I'm chill about it 👍

you ever accidentally create a recurring theme in your writing. you start putting together an outline for something you’ve never written before and get partway through planning, rearrange the pieces, and go “GODDAMMIT THIS IS ABOUT GRIEF AGAIN”? because let me tell you,

I'm in a position to start sending agent queries out but whenever I think about doing it I feel sooooo sick ghgjklk
