Then writing it is

A blog to motivate me to write more. DaphneTheAdipose on AO3. Also lots of pictures I use as inspiration for my stories. Actually mainly pictures.

[sentientsky]

repeating this to myself forever and ever

[atomiclace]

these are my mutuals. they know who they are

[nondelphic]

writer brain is like “what if this story was a metaphor for grief”

no babes what if this story was finished first

[theotherjax]

What if the real grief was the writing we didn't do along the way

[theglitchywriterboi]

I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

[stevviefox]

Passing along for all the writers out there!

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will really have a doc titled ‘fic planning’ and then it’s just blank

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will say “i’m going to write!” and then do something else with the doc open in the background

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will literally put out the most heart-wrenching and devastating piece of fiction that’s a million times better than the source and go haha hope you liked :)

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will have a life changing event happen to them (married, natural disaster, accident etc etc) and then still manage to put out an incredible fic and go ‘sorry this was 0.394838373 seconds late guys :(‘

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will go ‘love writing!’ and then don’t write for 10 years

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

anyway i love writing and i love writers

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

now hold on a goddamned second

[puirell-deactivated20221122]

writers will complain about this post while continuing to not write

[dduane]

(chuckle)

[winterandwords]

I'm not sure I can express this sentiment strongly enough, but I'm going to try via the medium of large bolded text.

Write what the fuck you want.

Write what makes you happy. Write what makes your soul sing. Write what fucks you up and makes you cry. Write what comforts you. Write what distracts you. Write what you want to read. Write what you want to watch.

Write what you want to dream about tonight.

Write what you can't get enough of. Write what you're completely obsessed with. Write what wakes you up at 4am and drags you out of bed because you can't stop thinking about what your characters are going to do next.

Write what turns you on, if that's your vibe. Write characters you're in love with and characters who inspire you and characters you want to be friends with and characters you fucking hate but oh my god they're so much fun.

Write about things you would sell your soul to do in real life and things you would never do in real life. Write about things that are happening right now and things that happened a thousand years ago and things that might happen in the future and things you wish could happen.

Write to get a publishing deal or to sell your books yourself or not to sell your books at all. Write for your friends or for strangers or for the people who reblog your posts on Tumblr and send you songs that remind them of your characters.

Write for yourself.

Fuck any system that tells you there's only one right way to create or one valid way to share your writing. Your story, the way you tell it, has so much value. Make people smile or piss people off or do both of those things because art is divisive and fascinating and beautiful.

Start writing. Keep writing. And write what the fuck you want.

Pssst

Hey, are you an artist or writer with WIPs?

Come here... I got a secret for you pssst come ‘ere

[kittmoon]

waiting in deep suspense

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Psst you ready here comes the secret

Here it comes

[moinsbienquekaworu]

I am also very curious about this secret

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Your time spent enjoying the creative process is infinitely more valuable that any final project you create. So stop putting yourself down for never finishing or posting those WIPs because every moment you spent creating something you loved is a moment not wasted. Your progress and talent is measured by your passion not your number of posts.

[botwstoriesandsuch]

This post went from 3k to 7k overnight and that just goes to show how many of you need to hear this so make sure you don’t ever forget it

[heretherebebookdragons]

If you are a fan fic writer and you're alright with people making fan art of your fic, reblog this 💚

[luna-azzurra]

A list of moments and actions that could reflect when a character realizes they truly hate someone

Noticing they instinctively frown or feel their mood darken when the other person is mentioned.

Feeling an involuntary surge of irritation when they hear the other person's voice or laughter.

Realizing they've been subconsciously avoiding places or events where they might encounter the person.

Experiencing a sense of satisfaction when something goes wrong for the other person.

Finding themselves speaking ill of the person, even when not provoked.

Feeling a strong aversion to anything the other person likes or supports, just out of spite.

Deliberately opposing or sabotaging the other person’s ideas or efforts, regardless of the consequences.

Catching themselves planning what to say or do next time they meet, ensuring it’s cutting or dismissive.

Feeling a sense of dread or anger bubbling up whenever they have to spend time near the person.

Holding on to every slight or mistake the person has ever made, recounting them as proof of their unworthiness.

Feeling physically tense or on edge in the other person's presence, or when thinking about them.

Having zero tolerance for any of their jokes or attempts at light-heartedness.

Showing no empathy or compassion when the other person is vulnerable or in trouble.

Finding that their dislike has become a part of their identity, shaping their interactions and decisions.

Realizing they can no longer recall any good qualities the other person might have once had.
