Rebecca’s Ramblings

Rebecca | 20 | England | Writer/Poet

[roseate-spoonwilliam]

Me, nudging my brain with a stick: Write.

[concerningwolves]

*my brain eats the stick and continues to Not Write*

[cogesque-deactivated20210410]

writing advice will not make you a better writer

writing advice will not make you a better writer

writing advice will not make you a better writer

all that will make you a better writer is writing

i’m not saying it doesn’t help point you in the right direction and open your eyes to things to watch out for, but if you want to improve your writing, write. please.

[palistani]

what’s your nervous tick? i rub the back of my left ear with my right hand

[echoedtranslations]

yo the notes on this are a gold mine if you’re a writer

[aritany]

The closing lines of The Great Gatsby, perhaps the most enigmatic in American literature, handwritten by F. Scott Fitzgerald himself.

[ah-kill-es]

ah yes, i love russian literature. the way it just *clenches fists* gives me a constant midlife crisis over the theorical existence of god and whether or not happiness exists or being a good person is worth it

[valtsv]

guys will try to impress you by telling you they know everything about draconic mythology and folklore and then not even be able to tell you the difference between a wyrm and a wyvern

[valtsv]

guys will tell you they know what a drake is and then describe an amphithere

[valtsv]

guys will mix up wyrms and lindwurms and say "well they're all dragons aren't they"

[confusion-and-cake]

Reading your old writing is either ‘my god, I’m an undiscovered genius’ or ‘welcome to CRIIIINGE CITY folks’ and there is no in between

[hplyrikz]

I can relate to this

Visited Polesden Lacey today for my 21st birthday and not only dawdled away half an hour in their library but found three books in their second hand bookshop. A wonderful birthday all round!

[pastelparrotlet]

I hope in 2020 you get to write that thing you’ve been wanting to write, and you write it amazingly.

[thethirdamell]

Me, opening my own story: I wonder if the author's updated yet

[unbearable-lightness-of-ink]

this is the writing equivalent of checking the fridge, walking away, and coming back to see if it's spawned a better snack while you weren't looking

[lacylu42]

Plot twist! Me, reading my own story: Oh man, this is actually pretty good...

Spent the morning doing research for my dissertation and planning my second chapter in earnest ☕️

Ordering books from the British Library will never get boring, seeing as my friend and I are going tomorrow I had to request the books I wanted to use and it gives me thrills every time! My lecturer made us order them to Humanities 2 as that’s where she will be and she wants to appreciate her influence by seeing us there.

(Featuring the new tea set I got for Christmas!)
