that moment when everything just clicks in your writing or in a scene you’re putting together or an unexpected last minute idea pops into your mind that ends up fitting perfectly with what you wrote >>>>

the excitement that consumes my body is out of this world

do you torture the character you relate to most and recreate your own abuse in fiction to cope or were your needs and feelings acknowledged as a child

trying to keep up with writing while trying to keep up with promoting my writing while trying to keep up with work while trying to keep up with taking care of my mental health aka the reason why all these things are so hard in the first place is so hard!!!!!!

taking breaks isn’t an option for me unfortunately. my mentally ill brain needs a routine to keep the wheels turning. it sounds like self torture but trust i’ve been through worse, this is light work for me!!!!!!

(i don’t think i’m human anymore)

ttpd and red both being messy and drawn out but quintessential displays of taylor’s penmanship too powerful for the world to understand i see the vision

How can I become a writer?

But I don't know where to start.

Me having a breakdown: *looks in the mirror* wait that gives me an idea…

Proceeds to write an angsty scene about my character having a breakdown that’s totally not based off of my current emotions.

does it take anyone else a good minute to get immersed into their fictional world before you can start writing for the day?

like i need to sit in front of my computer with nothing but tumbleweed passing in my brain for at least an hour before i can really lock in.

especially after a solid writing break. i need to re-read the most recent scene i’ve written at least ten times to bring myself back into the character’s mind and feelings

about a quarter through writing the first draft for the third book in my series!

it’s been my fav book to write so far because of all the storylines i have planned, but it’s also been the most complicated to write for the same reason😭

there’s just so much that has to happen — between the main storyline *and* the side plot that it’s literally making my brain feel like this: 🫠

it’s so fun yet so stressful at the same time but hey i love writing!!!!!!😁

Me core

me being so excited to *finally* be over this guy i’ve had feelings for for years only to develop a new crush within the next two business days is unfortunately so on brand for me😁…🫠 (my daddy issues are showing)

happy valentine’s day!!!!!!!!!!!!????<3

🔥🔥🔥

being a romance writer has truly warped my perception of love and romance irl in a sense that i have *such* high standards and expectations of what i want in a relationship.

i want a love that sweeps me off my feet and nothing less! it’s too bad basic romance feels like some unattainable holy grail these days🫠

where are the men who yearn and court??? where are they????????!!!!!!!!!

me when in the planning stages of writing: *overflow of ideas, high school au, canon divergence, character studies, unrequited love, one bed, ALL IN ONE*

vs

me when opening googles docs to write:

do I make a plot? Ah no, I either plot 5-10 chapters ahead and then I write, or I just get a plot in my dreams and I get to add into it when I wake up

every time a man declares their hatred for taylor swift, it only makes me love her ten times harder. like i can literally feel the love i have for her growing stronger by the second, until i’ve reached full taylor-swift-loving potential

"please picture me in the weeds before i learned civility ... are there still beautiful things?" just... yeah. yeah.

i’m a writer, of course my love language is words of affirmation

(say you melt at the touch of my hand, tell me how your desire burns with the heat of a thousand suns, make me feel like you could remember me even if our paths crossed in another life; if i had different eyes, would you recognize me?)

what would be the equivalent of a “childless cat lady” for a writer? whatever it is, i am that

it’s the anniversary of two of my characters today yall🥹 february 7th❤️🧁💜🌙

(yes i’m acknowledging and wishing them a happy anniversary, no that doesn’t make me clinically insane)

happy anniversary logan and rachel, mama (me) loves you and your beautiful love story❤️❤️❤️ u definitely have not been one of my fav couples to write bc that would be so rude of me to admit!!!

do you think your characters would be friends with you irl? honestly, i don’t think mine would be friends with me😭

only because they’ve all been friends since kindergarten — they’re a solid friend group of eight. very found family. they all prefer sticking to their circle and secretly (jokingly) get jealous whenever one of them tries to befriend someone outside the group. (it’s called friendship cheating)

which is fine because i’d totally be too scared to even try and befriend any of them anyway😭 when your own characters are too cool for you

Main characters meeting up be like:

yall one of my characters has the saddest lore, i hate it sm i just wanna hug him😭😭😭 (me acting like i didn’t give him the sad lore in question)

on a more positive writing note — have any of you ever re-read something you wrote and think to yourself:

“okay, i lowkey ate that.”

i’ll be the first to admit i have😭 and that’s a great thing! i’m so used to downplaying myself with self deprecating humor that i’ve forgotten it’s ok to actually be proud of myself for something

does anyone else struggle with making their characters imperfect? or making them have imperfect moments? i find myself scared to do that sometimes. i blame cancel culture😭

the ones that truly do have hearts of gold, anyway. there are a few of my characters that do deserve a couple lashings.

maybe i’m the problem? i tend to care too much what people think sometimes.

a reminder to all writers out there, you’re a human, not a machine

it’s okay to be frustrated with your works

it’s okay to be exhausted

it’s okay to have a writer’s block

it’s okay to just want to take a break for a while

it’s okay if some days you can only write one paragraph

it’s okay if some days you can only write a sentence or two

it’s okay if some days you can’t write at all

every single writer has gone through all of these challenges, but the thing is that it passes. none of these struggles last forever. so be kind to yourself. you’re doing fine, I promise.

BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD. Once you're given this award, you're supposed to paste it in the ask of eight people who deserve it. If you break the chain, nothing happens but it's sweet to know so. I think you're beautiful inside and out, never forget to love yourself💝🌟

omg i’m still fairly new to this app so idk how to do any of this but 🥹🥹🥹 i’m forwarding this to whoever comes across it💛

!!! music is one of my biggest inspirations when it comes to writing

Authors listen to music!

Listen to music while thinking of your characters and books and such!

Idk how many times i’ve been listening to music and think “oh this sounds like so and so” and I haven’t even started to get into their personality yet.

Same goes for characters and relationships with other characters. I just made a playlist for two of my characters that I had never even thought about being a couple at all…and one song and now i’ve got to come up with some way for them to meet and fall in love.

Side note: One is a prince/military leader and the other is a commoner. Though that may change since I haven’t even began to get into their personal lore.

Music is just too powerful to ever think about not using to enhance my writing/worldbuilding/ character designs.
