resource for procrastination

if you’re anything like me, working on a computer is a dangerous thing. i’ll get distracted by everything - that one email i should respond to, all the pictures of my dog, tumblr, and so on. I recently discovered an amazing resource to stop that.

it’s called writer’s block, and is free to download! 

when you open it, it shows this screen, where you can choose either a time limit or word goal

then when you start, it opens a document that fills the entire screen like this

and you cannot quit the app or open anything else until your word/time quota is filled. i just wrote half of my english speech that i’ve been putting off all morning, and it took only 20 minutes!

so yup, it’s called writer’s block and is free for both mac and windows. enjoy!

types of fic titles

title is a literal description of the story (”5 times x did y”, “first kiss”, etc)

perfect formatting, title is evocative of the story’s main themes

song lyrics

3 feet long all lowercase (overlaps w/ song lyrics)

one word. only one.

title seemingly has nothing to do w/ the content of the story until it gets dropped during a high-tension dramatic scene 70k words in, making you feel like the world meant for you to be born in time to read it

me writing dialogue: “what is man but a vessel through which a higher entity may see? what is his purpose? must he find a purpose? we are but stardust; the universe comprehending itself.”

me writing action: they ran real fast from the bad men aand legs hurty

[incandescent-creativity]

me writing action: Her legs pounded against the earth, the familiar jolt grounding her like nothing else could. Magic, gods, royalty—she didn’t know anything about that. But running? That’s something she’d been doing since day one.

me writing dialogue: “I dunno man whatchu wanna do” “I dunno. What do you think?” “Hey man I don’t know”

Maybe you understand fiction better than… Real life.

Wow i love this library at Dublin!

A tiny journal-ish gif-comic from a few tweets I made last night!  I believed this kind of stuff until I was 14 or so, which is pretty old in retrospect…

There used to be more but I accidentally saved over it :/

[leehama]

I did manage to recover one other page, though!

Oh I Love this

[purplebuddhaquotes]

“Nobody looks good in their darkest hours. But it’s those hours that make us what we are. We stand strong, or we cower. We emerge victorious, tempered by our trails, or fracture by a permanent, damning fault line.”

[historyy]

just humanities student things

getting overly defensive of your favourite historical / literary / classical figure

suddenly remembering how much knowledge there is to acquire and getting stressed about the overwhelming amount of stuff you don’t know

roman numerals: you either love them or you hate them

when your teacher is obsessed with one bit of the course and teaches you that for weeks then breezes over the rest

anachronisms

you’ve listened to so many in our times that melvyn bragg is basically your internal monologue

waking up in the morning with a desire to know everything about one specific thing that’s totally unrelated to everything you’re studying

‘ooo i know this word!’ she did not know that word

muddling up the actual history, the fictionalised versions of the actual history, and the fanfictionalised versions of the fictionalised versions of the actual history

‘what can this cartoon / movie / song / art tell us about x’

history students are over prepared for politics and classics students are over prepared for english lit

reading aloud in terrible accents in english lit
