[para-cera-therium]

I write, I make things, I draw, and I occasionally take pictures of pretty(or delightfully ugly) things I encounter in nature. Also obsessed with strange old books and traditional music of all kinds.

This isn’t really a fandom blog, but I do post my Tolkien(usually Silmarillion) art under the #my art tag, and I reblog Tolkien stuff.

Fandom discourse and real-world politics are not welcome here.

THINGS ONLY WRITERS UNDERSTAND!! #1

⟡ Loving a character you created so much it feels absurd

⟡ Grieving the end of a book you wrote like losing real people

⟡ Having a whole conversation in your head and calling it plotting

⟡ Reading something brilliant and feeling both inspired and devastated

⟡ Knowing exactly what you want to say and watching it flatten on the page

⟡ The gap between the story in your head and the draft in front of you

⟡ Abandoning a project and thinking about it every day for two years

⟡ The specific ache of a story that isn't ready to be written yet

⟡ Writing around the hard scene for weeks before finally going in

⟡ Feeling protective of characters like they need you to get it right

⟡ Being unable to explain what you're working on to people who ask

⟡ Knowing a character's voice so well you know what they'd order for breakfast

⟡ The difference between a bad writing day and a day the work is actually bad

⟡ Trusting a story before you understand it

⟡ Knowing you'll keep doing it no matter what because you genuinely cannot stop

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you
