When it comes to being bisexual, you reject labels like “confused” or “greedy.” Like if you write your own story.

Journeying Through The Forest Of Your Plot While Camp NaNoWriMo was somewhat of a bust for me wordcount-wise, it excelled at encouraging me to explore and plan my story.

Letters Home: Camp NaNoWriMo, Day 18

Letters Home: Camp NaNoWriMo, Day 18

Dear reader, Week 2 of Camp NaNoWriMo has come and gone, and I am no closer to my goal. Last week I talked about trying to figure out my priorities, but trying to organize them has left me paralyzed. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO DOOOOOOOOOO! How do I do them all? I couldn’t face my writing, and I barely got in 300 words. Luckily, I have a great support network. My friends and my boyfriend have all…

Male writer: This female character that I’m writing has a deep dark secret.

Male writer: Something so horrible that she can’t tell a soul…

Male writer: This female character has literally the saddest back story anyone could ever imagine and no man could ever love her because of it and she cries herself to sleep every single night because she’s such a monster.

Male writer: She’s……………… infertile.

I have always imagined the American magical community in Harry Potter to be significantly less… structured than that of Britain. America is just so big, and the states can be so different, and history is so fucked up and complicated that a whole secret society with a completely separate government and people who’re totally clueless about the muggle world just makes no sense to me.

American wix participate in general elections and watch tv and their kids go to muggle school during the day and learn magic at home or in after-school programs and play quidditch and football and only your great grandma has owls while everyone else just has a phone and generally don’t obliviate muggles who see magic shit bc lol who’s gonna believe them anyway.

And European wix haaaate dealing with them bc they won’t do things the Proper Magical Way they just do whatever the fuck they want bc AMERICA FUCK YEAH.

And then you’ve got the Pennsylvania Dutch and Native American nations and New Orleans and other areas where large swathes of the population are like, “Well duh there’s magic. Hugh down at the end of the street lays hexes on my vegetable garden for the kids who keep trying to steal them and I give him a bag of tomatoes every month.”

#like it’s not offensive in the same way#but it’s patently obvious JKR doesn’t understand American or its history at all#and yeah#no way would american magic-users consent to that kind of structure

[itsc]

@monstermoonshine and i once talked about this extensively and decided that the american wizarding government should be called FBOM, the federal bureau of magic, with the O left in for Humor Purposes

[dalekofchaos]

#I love how every American looked at jkr’s american wizardry#and then promptly threw it in the harbor with the tea#nah jkr nah we ain’t doin it your way

Do you think we’ll be haunting libraries and bookshops when we die?

I hope so.

Writing Tip 3: Make Something Pretty

Writing Tip 3: Make Something Pretty

This is one of the weirder ones, but it’s surprisingly helpful for me. I like to go on Spotify and search for the perfect songs for my characters.  What do I mean by the perfect song?  Something with a beat that fits a character’s personality, or maybe a song with lyrics that really speaks to someone’s backstory. I might even make a list of the music I think someone would listen to all the time.…
