Becoming a Byler fan after figuring myself out means a lot to me, coming from a place where I had no idea Will has romantic feelings for Mike before season 4 and shipped Mileven from the start.

Somehow it will heal my inner child if they become canon.

Like. It’d feel like a nod to my younger self.

“You’ll get there. Just like they did. You weren’t the only one confused.” (I’m looking at you, Wheeler.)

Open: F 30+

Plot: Alex is helping you move into your new place. (friends, exes on good terms, etc.)

“What happened to you hiring movers?!” Alex questions, straining to grip the couch and simultaneously open the door. It’s not working as it glides back, bumping into him and nearly knocking the sofa from his hands. “Shit!” He exclaims, eventually forcing himself inside before giving up completely. “This would have been a lot easier if, you know, we had an ENTIRE CREW and not just the two of us.” He continues, looking over his shoulder and guiding them towards the stairs. “We’ve only started with this couch. We still have an entire bed set to pick up.” He pauses, mainly for a quick break but also to catch her attention. “Are you trying to kill me from exhaustion? I am a man, not a robot.” Although he was giving her hell for this, the faint smirk forming on his lips just meant Alex likes to talk shit now and then. He was going to help her regardless, but sometimes he wondered why she wanted to put him through so much. Didn’t she have other male friends to overwork?

Do you have paragraphs you’ve written that you objectively think are okay but your heart isn’t quite with them? If so what do you do with them?

You leave them in and move on.

There is this completely unreasonable pressure in writing circles at large to be "inspired", and if you were not "inspired" while writing that writing must be in some ineffable way lesser.

Here is a secret: if you are writing seriously and consistently, the majority of your writing isn't going to feel super snowflake special. And nobody is going to be able to tell. There is generally no particular quality difference between inspired v uninspired writing that is discernable by an outsider.

And honestly, having some plainer prose really helps your extra good lines shine. Look at the mechanics of my writing--most of my prose is actually fairly straightforward and plain. Then I do something clever and reader brains light up because the plainess set a baseline that has now been subverted. A rookie mistake is to try and be clever in every sentence, but unless you are That Good, that kind of writing feels fake/overdone to readers.

So leave them in. Move on. If you figure out how to word it better later, fix it when you edit. That's what editing is for, yo. But if there's nothing wrong with it and it's doing its job, don't get stuck on it.
