Long weeks after the events of Guanyin Temple, Lan SiZhui, Lan JingYi and Jin Ling can finally go back to their old life, with their newly formed bonds. Or so, they think, until one night Lan JingYi decides to have a little fun with the visiting Jin Ling and Lan SiZhui. Although his definition of fun needs improving, if it means breaking into the Room of Forbidden Books, stealing a volume and play unidentified music from it. This might’ve gone unnoticed by their seniors at that night, but the next day, they realize it might not have gone without consequences.

Not one brain cell on this picture, alias illustration for my time traveling junior trio fanfic, Spring Again!

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

Writers keep in mind while you’re working on your current WIP, you’re learning skills that may not result in you being able to complete that particular WIP to your satisfaction, but WILL bear fruit in your NEXT WIP. Like, you might’ve blown up this science project, but next time (or the time after, or the time after…) you’ll nail it because of what you learned while setting fire to this one.

No writing is wasted.

No writing is ever wasted. Everything adds to your total experience. The payoff may not be immediately obvious. But everything you add into the invisible shotlocker of your total experience counts.

Something so funny about rereading one's own unfinished fics. Like wow this is pretty good! Almost as if was written exactly according to what I personally like in fact! Someone should finish it!

Don’t invite me anywhere last minute I enjoy doing nothing so I need to know ahead of time if my plan to do nothing needs to be changed

I hesitate to make this a sweeping statement, but I do think that to be a writer, you have to on some level love words as an artistic medium. Words can't just be the annoying limitation that make it more difficult to share your beautiful daydream. They can't just be the storytelling method you choose because you don't have the skills or resources to make any other kind of media.

You have to love the art of words for its own sake. Love the sound of words--how you can make music of a million different rhythms and moods, how the words and sentences you choose can make a million different atmospheres. Love what you can do with words--paint an image, share an emotion, put a person into a scene that only exists in the world of imagination. Love the different ways you can use words--different points of view and tenses, different formats and styles that can each provide a different experience of the story for the reader. You have to love words as your artistic tool and delight in learning new ways to wield them and new effects that you can create with them.

If you don't love words, there are other ways to tell a story. Writing is an artistic medium with it own strengths and weaknesses, and using it as your artistic medium should be a deliberate choice made out of love for this artform.

Writing smut and writing fight scenes are two sides of the same coin: without emotional depth, either becomes nothing more than a bland technical dissertation on which body part goes where.

u should not have to press x on an ad more than once. whoever decided that should be a thing should have their nipples cut off and fed to pigs while they watch

[robertseanleonardthinker]

and whoever made those x buttons that send u directly to the app store should be strapped to the outside of a rocket and launched into space
