Just in case this needs to be said:

It’s the first draft. Use the word “suddenly.” Put as many dialogue tags and adverbs as you want. Say “he saw” “she remembered” “she felt” “they wondered” as many times as you need to. Put the em dash there, put in too many commas, use semi-colons with reckless abandon. Type in [whatever] instead of thinking up a title for something. Just write it. If you worry too much about the particulars, about all the advice posts you’ve seen saying whatever you’re doing is wrong or not good enough, you won’t get anything done. It will slow you down as you go back and try to reword what you just wrote to make it better, proper. The first draft doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be done. And when you get to the end, you’ll find that all those “mistakes” are just clues for your future self to put together to make it all better.

Putting in adverbs and certain dialogue tags are a note for you as to who is saying something and how they’re saying it. When you’re editing, you can make sure it shows through the story instead. The word “suddenly” is a reminder to make things more abrupt. The first draft is just you mapping out where you want to go and how you want to get there. Don’t waste time trying to get it 100% right now, because then it will never get done. Don’t think too much– just write. Save the thinking for editing later.

i spent christmas alone while my family got together and fought, and honestly i feel so good about this

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i bought myself presents, cooked a big meal, drank wine and watched Home Alone 3 w/ my dog. I don’t feel sorry for myself at all.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

meanwhile my sister threatened to disown my dad so he threatened to disown her, while my mom enabled and my other sister downed a bottle of wine to deal.

on the other side of the country, i was busy discovering, to my delight, that the that the 3rd installment of the Home Alone franchise not only stood up to the test of time, but contains some of the best oneliners and comedic timing I have ever seen.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

honestly, keep toxic people out of your life. family isn’t everything, and bad family is often worse than no family. don’t be afraid to put in some distance, especially during high stress times like the holidays. you don’t actually owe them anything.

being alone for the holidays is so much better than being with people who make you unhappy.

Home Alone 3 was terrible screw you

[wahbegan]

That’s because Home Alone 3 WAS terrible you tasteless oaf

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

HOME ALONE 3 WAS TERRIFIC BUT MARKED A DEPARTURE FROM THE CULTURE OF THE FIRST 2 MOVIE, IT SHOULD BE JUDGED BY ITS MERIT AS A STANDALONE FILM RATHER THAN A CONTINUATION OF THE FRANCHISE

I needed this

[sweethotnight]

yesterday this girl in my academic writing class sits down next to me and puts 3 bananas on the desk (which was jarring by itself) and i had two bananas in my backpack so i wanted to see if she would notice if i added those to her banana pile when she wasn’t looking and when she finally looked back at the bananas she sighed and said really quietly to herself “oh my god…i have so many…” and put all five of them in her backpack

I'm angry

You close your ears

You don't like to hear tears

I'm furious

You only listen

But never from those snakebitten

I'm mad

I thought you were fair

You were not! Only to those you care

I hate you!

I have loved you before

To me now you are nothing more

[pensierro]

Man: You are too young to be angry.

Child: You made me

[pensierro]

Not me

"Someone broke grandmother's glass"

Fingers pointed to one direction

"No I didn't do it"

"Yes you did!"

Giggled the five year old

"Enough"

Then comes tumbling the weak boy.

"Did you see that? She pushed me!"

"Because you-!"

"Quiet! It is your fault! Go back to your room"

Pursed lips she went inside and quickly locked the door.

Why won't you listen to me?

[pensierro]

What I actually want to say is...

Hindi kita inaapproach not because ayoko. And mostly hindi dahil galit ako. It's the fact that I don't know how to approach you anymore. For the past months na hindi tayo nagpansin I realized how dependent I was at you for my happiness. Which is wrong. Kasi once you take that someone away you'd be sad your whole life. Kaya sa 2 months na walang tayong communication. I learned to build a bridge. A sturdy and steady bridge with myself. With better communication, better understanding and better mind. That being said everything will follow. But what I actually want to say is...

This letter is for you. But what I do afterwards is for me.

"Hi self. This time ikaw naman"

Beginnings

"I missed you" he says before wrapping his arms tightly around her. "Let's go back inside" he says pulling her but she stopped and pulled back removing the connection. "No" she stated. "Let's begin again"

A new beginning I cannot wait to unfold

[pensierro]

Veni Vedi Vici

You came

You conquered

You left me dead

[pensierro]

Two Sided

If you think he doesn't care. Stop thinking. Step back and look his way. You'll learn that he's been looking at you the whole time.

[pensierro]

Naked Truth

Sad thing is I'd still come running when I hear you say my name

[pensierro]

Midnight Memoirs

The clock chimed at twelve as I delved into these painful thoughts "Have you been thinking of me, as I of you? Or was I the only person who truly cared for us"

[pensierro]

Stone Cold

Engraved to the stones

Here lies the fool

Who thinks it should've ended

When it never began

[pensierro]

Happy Summer Vacation!

8 out of 100 Title: Legend of the Blue Sea Rate: 9 out of 10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I am really sorry if I am rating this as 9 but I did not enjoy it as much as the 10 rated kdramas I've watched. But the drama is very good and I really love lee min ho's role. Jun ji hyun is very funny at the first few episode which you may find amusing. This is a safe kdrama. It is not that heartbreaking. But still have tissues near you just to be safe.
