Look who showed up in the mail!

Thank god he doesn’t have a ton of merch otherwise I’d be broke. But also I cry because he has no merch.

do you think one can go back to writing, after having not held the pen for long? i used to write, i used to try. those things feel so far away, i only feel lost now. only lost. writing was feeling for me. all i am is numb, now, only numb.

Hello there anon,

Yes of course I feel like you can go back to writing even after a while, because you know what, the pen doesn't ask you why you've been gone for so long, the paper or parchment doesn't hold any grudges, nor does your words; every time you come back, they welcome you with loving arms. That's the beautiful thing about writing.

I am sure you would feel a lot better when you start writing again, and you know you can resume by writing about what you're feeling, or perhaps write with someone if you connect with their words, and I'm sure once the words start spilling from your pen again, they won't stop and it will bring back to you all the emotions which at the moment might seem to be lost.

Also, if you'd like to write with me, I'd be honored too, so feel free to drop a line or few if you'd like.

With all my best regards,

DG

my life before the end of school certainly had its flaws...

but at least it had purpose. 

why I’ve been trying to get back into a school, master’s degree, for years-- BUT THEN I think, No, I don’t want to have $50k+ in loans... I have a horror of loans-- especially since my BA, though it didn’t have much in loans thankfully, did not result in giving me a job, so what’s the guarantee more school would help me get a job? none. and so. Stuck. for. years. :( help

I never want to hear another fucking snob tell me that people who write Fanfiction are lazy, unoriginal, or not creative enough. The storylines we read from fanfic are rich and deep and include relevant issues. They are progressive and fearless, and the writers do it for free. Which means they have no money to make a big movie or show. These movies were made by Fanfic writers with more money.

the only good thing about my ass staying up until midnight to read “the summer palace” is i’m getting a lot of good hours in of writing my masters thesis! 

who cares how the media represents climate change and scientific expertise? 

well, yeah, alright, everyone should. back to writing ... instead of refreshing the cp tag for the thousandth time for crumbs.

Uhhh....

It’s definitely been a while... Didn’t think I’d be doing that again... 

Stuff has been crazy at home and I haven’t really been able to do much. I’m so behind on fanfic reads it’s not even funny. Keep tagging me in your posts so I can bookmark them to be read!

Thankfully, the chaos is nothing I can’t really handle. I just have to see what new curveballs the universe throws at me next and see if I can handle it. BUT!!!! I have good news: my fanfic is coming together!

Well, the outline at least....

After so long, I am finally close to finishing the outline my fanfic Bride of the Beast. Soon I can finish drafting it and drop it all onto AO3! But I’m thinking way too far ahead because who knows how long it’ll take to draft everything. I still have one part of a scene I need to outline before I can draft, but in regards to drafting....

... I need to freaking revise some of my previous chapters.

Right when I thought I completely had some characters voices and how they talked locked in place.

Yeah, no....

So when I revise everything, it’ll be pretty much the same except some wording changed here and there. And I will have a new post for the chapters, it’ll just say “revised” in parentheses.

Everything will still be on AO3 when I make the new update posts because looking at guidelines for other fanfic websites, BotB and future fics are too violent for everyone else! It’s kind of sad when you think about it...

I am still considering dropping a few chapters at a time because I don’t want all of you to wait a very long time for the ending. Plus I want to jump into the next fanfics - sequels and new ones - and novels that I hope to traditionally publish in the future. I’m really taking up, in my opinion, too much time trying to figuring out BotB and I need to stop before I end up not finishing it at all.

Until the next time I post (whenever that is at this point), keep looking to the stars!
