ages ago i saw a piece of advice that was, in essence: "when you lose your way in your creative pursuits you gotta go back to the Thing that made you first fall in love with the medium" and im like. huh. that's great advice and i wish my Thing was something a little less cringe than All For The Game by Nora Sakavic but here we are!

The worst part about writing is that sometimes you actually have to write.

The best part about writing is also that sometimes you have to write.

I will not elaborate further.

Discovering your writing completely changed my life. It got me through the worst year of my life. Your blog is the reason I got Tumblr (which also completely changed my life lol). I’ve just been thinking about all the good things that have happened to me as a result of the butterfly effect from finding your work. Thank you so very much kind human <3

this is very very very kind of you and I appreciate you taking the time to share these lovely words 💗💗💗

Can I offer a reframe of the common "write the shitty first draft" advice? I like that advice a lot but I think the way it's often presented bounces off a lot of people and activates shit that does not help writing happen.

I think of the first draft as an armature.

If I was making a beautiful bronze statue, I would need to make a clay model first. And, depending on the shape, before I even got out my clay I would need to get some good thick wire and create a basic shape for the clay to adhere to, so it doesn't all fall down. Once I have this essential 3D wire frame, I can start building and subtracting and refining.

But if I try to refine on just clay, it won't have enough of a core to hold it up. I'll sculpt a beautiful hand only to have the whole arm fall off and go smush.

The armature isn't the sculpture. It is the frame you build the sculpture around.

The first draft isn't the novel, it's a sort-of-novel-shaped thing that will hold up everything you build and beautify later.

Write the armature draft. Try to make it a good armature, instead of trying to make it a good novel before it's ready.

me, slowly melting in 33 degree heat that is slowly and systematically denaturing every single protein in my body: you know i think i could write a really interesting piece of eco-fiction exploring the impact of the climate crisis on health and marginalisation via the mode of omegaverse erotica, and it wouldn't even be that hard

i do think giving a blowjob in exchange for drugs is kind of one of the most classic things you can do. i truly believe thats been happening since the invention of drugs

''what if my writing isn't good eno--'' what if it's a reflection of your soul. what if it has a place in this world. what if you write it anyway

Not sure why it's a new trend among fic readers to assume if the fic has not been posted within the week it's inappropriate to comment on it, like the fic has to be hot out of the oven to give feedback for.

I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.

Just comment on the fic. Doesn't matter how old it is.

i’m not procrastinating. i’m allowing the story to ferment. like kimchi. or a crime scene
