writing is just sitting in front of a computer and making up problems for imaginary people while ignoring your own. fun and casual hobby.

Remember not to give a shit and write cringy fanfiction and make bad art and wear weird clothes and dance badly to your favorite song never stop doing these creative things that make you happy.

Ways to spark your writing again!! PART TWO

─ .✦ write a character who realizes they've been performing happiness for so long that they've forgotten what the real thing feels like

─ .✦ let a character find out the person who raised them was younger, at the time, than the character is now

─ .✦ write two siblings who never fought as kids and are somehow strangers as adults, neither one able to point to when it started

─ .✦ a character finally gets to say the thing they rehearsed for years, and the moment arrives too small for how big it felt in their head

─ .✦ let a character realize their independence was never a strength, just a wound that got good at hiding

─ .✦ write someone who spent their whole life being the exception to the rule, and finally has to be ordinary in front of someone who loves them

─ .✦ a character discovers the version of the story they were told isn't the version that actually happened, and has to decide which one they'll keep believing

─ .✦ let a character give someone else the childhood they never had, and grieve their own while doing it

─ .✦ write a character who finally stops being the peacekeeper, and watches what the group looks like without them holding it together

─ .✦ a character realizes the thing they call loyalty was actually just fear of being alone

─ .✦ let someone find the exact place their life split into "before" and "after," and realize they've been standing in "after" for years without noticing

─ .✦ write a character who was taught survival instead of living, and the first time someone shows them the difference

─ .✦ a character finally says no to something, for the first time in their life, and has to sit with how much it terrifies them

You all need to hear this:

1. You probably dont suck at your craft as much as you think you do, I bet a lot of people are amazed at what you can make, and

2. If you actually are the Literal Worst In The Whole Wide World at your craft... who the fuck cares? What are they gonna do, call the police on you? Keep making your shitty little things, youre the boss of you, fuck the haters.

Let go of the idea that diy will inherently look shit. All your clothes are handmade you just don't see the people doing it.

being an everything crafter is great but also sucks. like i want to get my watercolors out but i need to put away my microcrochet first. i want to do some leatherwork but my oil paints are on the table. i want to whittle but i'm using the bucket i catch wood shavings in to hold my papermaking mush. i want to write my book but my hands are too busy knitting a sweater. i want to code another video game but i'm too busy studying nalebinding. do you see my problem. the problem is that i need more hands

When you learn how to crochet/ knit or really any type of fiber arts, there will be a voice in your head that tells you that you should make something for everyone for the holidays.

Do not listen to that voice, for it is the devil.
