Every time I see that last pic, I have to note that the funniest line is the one immediately after the highlight

pros of having a large vocabulary: many words i know

cons of having a large vocabulary: many words i only know the vibe for

[solarsthoughts]

listen i may take 4 weeks to write a 3k word chapter, and i may take 45 minutes to decide whether i should use “laugh” or “chuckle”, but at least i don’t use ai and whatever you’re getting is pure chaos from a human brain

Give a man a fanfic, and he will read for a day. Teach a man to write, and he still won't do it.

He'll think about it though, and boy oh boy, he'll be thinking about it...

the concept of "canon" is fake anyway. if you write a fanfic with better emotional arcs than the original you win. i said what i said

The way I love writing but not the transition to writing you get me. I either want to be writing or have finished writing none of this getting started shit that happens in the beginning

John Oliver gets it, as usual. AI Slop is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.

“why are you getting frustrated with your characters? you write them, they can do whatever you want”

NO THEY CAN’T. this little fuckers have some psychological power over me i CANNOT MAKE THEM DO SHIT

Reblog if you will never. Ever. Use AI in your writing.

my daily affirmation as an author

[writingblus]

i dont "go on walks," i dont "use character sheets" and i dont "plot before writing," i raw dog it, and if it doesnt flow, I FUCKING CRY.

Hey. What

"relax. sucking does not kill" would make for a fun shirt

[iris-eyez]

I am going to make this my personality

Too much movement makes your joints hurt and too little movement also makes your joints hurt. This would imply that there's an optimal amount of movement that allows your joints to not hurt. This is a lie.

ever since i was a little girl i knew i was doomed to take things too seriously and think about them forever

Some writing advice: structure each chapter like a three act structure with an exposition, climax and denouement. This has really helped me think of chapters as three parts and I can write an exposition, a climax and a denouement no problem. It also helps keep tension in the story!
