white.

one day i will be at your wedding.

maybe i will have on a pale yellow satin dress

floor length and beautiful,

like everything else you could ever choose,

small flowers in my hand, watching you walk

to the love of your life

or maybe i will be in the blue one you picked

when i couldn’t choose

but in the seats, a couple rows behind. 

you will say there is no “bride’s side”,

but i’ll sit on the left

to see you better.

and maybe i will shed tears

watching you walk

but I will not be waiting for you at the altar. 

i will not promise to love you,

in sickness and in health,

though i have already so many times

in my head. 

I will not go home with you later that night,

your hand in mine and our rings touching. 

though it could be perfect with us,

a summer wedding,

with you holding bouquets of hydrangeas,

or roses,

or daisies.

you always loved the warm weather.

and you know i do too.

the sun would set and we would watch the fireflies. 

but that is silly to think about. 

no matter what I do,

no matter how hard I try,

I will never be opposite you,

crying at your beauty,

at my luck.

my body is a cage and my anger is the bird biting at its bars.

in theory if i wrote a mauraders greek life fanfic should it be like... one chapter (individual fraternity or sorority) for each hogwarts house and all of them are co-ed, or have two chapters (one fraternity, one sorority) representing each hogwarts house that are sibling houses OR OR the few female characters of each could be the frat sweethearts. these are important questions.

[eilitta]

also since Gamma Phi Delta is taken (hi ΓΦΔ girlies you're probably very sweet) and I can not in good faith use that we're making up some frats. but they will all be reasonable names btw

How I Know You Love Me

I hear it in the way you

whisper goodnight to me

when you think I’m asleep. I

see it in the way you smile at

me when no one is looking. I

smell it in the bonfire smoke

on our clothes in the hamper.

I taste it in the extra coffee

you make every morning

because you wake up first. I

feel it in the kiss you press

against my forehead when

I’m stressed.

It’s in your sighs, your bad

kitchen karaoke, your show

recommendations, your

favorite foods, your laugh,

the flour you smeared on my

nose, the heart you traced

into my back at midnight.

You don’t have to say it.

Trust me, I know.

THIS IS SO ME OH MY GOD

[sourdough-seal]

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

[eilitta]

that's one way to say it?

[thechekhov]

I've had this little idea in my head for a while now, so I decided to sit down and plot it out.

Disclaimer: This isn't meant to be some sort of One-Worksheet-Fits-All situation. This is meant to be a visual representation of some type of story planning you could be doing in order to develop a plot!

Lay down groundwork! (Backstory integral to the beginning of your story.) Build hinges. (Events that hinge on other events and fall down like dominoes) Suspend structures. (Withhold just enough information to make the reader curious, and keep them guessing.)

And hey, is this helps... maybe sit down and write a story! :)

[eilitta]

dumbass titles are the bane of my existence i genuinely titled this story 'lone crow' and now it's in my head and i have no way to get it out

[eilitta]

drafting my fantasy chapters right now and let me just say with how much I hate writing dialogue I hate action scenes more. i will spend PAGES on how the room looked and what the pov character thought of it, but nooooo you have to have ploooottt i can't just write a book on the protagonist's aversion to pristine bleached wool because she's never met somebody who can afford wool much less have it clean

[ad-wills]

[eilitta]

this is so genuinely me

[mydogiswatchingyou]

me on my way to somewhere and suddenly developing a whole story or a new plot point in my head but can't write it down

then me forgetting everything what i just made up when i can write
