Been thinking about a short story/snippet collection for the entities, mostly documenting their growth over the past few hundred million years and how they all bond.

Had the somewhat funny thought of calling it something like 'The Annuls of the Ancients'. Something really legendary-sounding, meanwhile one of the first stories is gonna be the older of the group, particularly Time, attempting to wrangle some rudimentary clothes on Dark at the start of the Cambrian age, because when the giant insects become a thing you will thank me for giving you a barrier between them and your bare skin, YOU LITTLE SHIT, GET THE HELL BACK HERE---

The process, or lack there of.

This is the true story of how I write.

I get a random idea and it starts spiraling from there. I end up imagining scenes from it that are related but not directly in order, usually at inopportune times like while I'm at work or at 3am while I'm failing to sleep. Either way, I can't write it down at that moment so I end up losing some of it in the interim.

I sit down to write, brainstorm as many details as I can remember and some new ones as well, try to arrange them vaguely in some kind of order, and then try to get some idea of how to link them together. I end up doing this thing where I will write a couple of paragraphs to a page and then stall out and just stare at the screen dumbly like I'm wary. I've wasted whole days doing this more or less. Sometimes getting up to go do some chore or taking a break helps.

Sometimes writing a section dialogue first helps. 

Sometimes I have to come back in a day In order to continue because things need time to ferment in the brain.

I end up rereading sections and adding additional details several times. I edit, then post, wavering emotionally between “this is shit” and “this is the shit”. There is this unconscionable spike of dread as I do so, then relief because somehow hitting a button changes everything, and now it's out there and people have probably seen it.

I waver for several hours after that, try to figure out what the next section will entail, and do my best to not think about it for the most part which doesn't really work, and then I do it all over again. I have also probably come up with ideas for five other unrelated projects in the meantime, most of which will never see the light of day.

reading an article now about an elite college being kind of disgruntled about rural kids having a kind of negative view about them.

she sucks in a breath at how close you are and heart thrums in her chest when she feels you toy with the hem of her skirt. she tries hard to keep her eyes on you and not let them flicker down to your lips as you talk.

i wouldn’t mind watching it again! although, if you’re tired, you should go to sleep. we can talk whenever your not sleepy, toph.

— 🌸

but it’s the weekend! we’re always busy with classes and i don’t get to spend a lot of time with you anymore.. i miss you

my eyes fall to her lips noticing how close we are, i can feel her breath fanning against my lips and i swallow, quickly looking away hoping she hasn’t noticed. my eye light up when i find something on the table.

cake or cookies mina

PLATONIC FORCE BONDS - listen, platonic force bonds so intense that at start it confuses people is there feelings involved? what is this? why do they feel so whole when the other is around, so lonely when they’re separated BUT they figure it out AND ITS PLATONIC, just force bonds bringing two people closer than lovers, closer than siblings, just two souls humming strongly in the Force.
