The Silent Woods

I opened the trunk and got out the two shovels from next to the body. I had my calculus professor dead, in the trunk of my car. Everything felt like a fever dream.

“Ok, now get him out.” I complied. I tried getting him out but man was he heavy for a 60 year old man in relatively good shape. I tried pulling him out by the legs, but he just kept getting stuck.

“Come on, hurry up.” The voice startled me but I kept trying to get him out. I finally managed to get him out by the shoulders and he fell flat on the ground. Just seeing him lay there made me sick. I wanted to throw up.

“Follow me, bring him.” The voice seemed to finally relax once we started moving, but I had to drag him all the way out by myself and carry the shovels.

The forest kept getting bigger and bigger, and fog started getting more and more visible. The only way I didn’t get lost in there was them, guiding me through a hidden pathway like I just discovered a secret. I had to keep looking over my shoulder a lot to not lose them.

After what seemed like an hour, we finally reached a spot where the fog was no more and there were only trees around, mostly all of their leaves were orange, and a lot were scattered on the ground.

“This is it. Start digging.” Their voice seemed to calm down and gained a femenine tone instead of a demonic and rough one. They walked a bit more and sat down on a log.

I got a shovel and started digging against my will, being stared at by a ghost dressed in black watching my every move. Why did they even make me bring two shovels? I’m the only one digging.

I tried plotting my next move while digging.

Where am I gonna go? How am I gonna lose them? Do I try killing them as well?

My mind was racing through every single possibility that I could try and work out.

My arms were getting sore after all the digging, but I wasn’t tired just yet. Looks like boxing finally got me somewhere.

All I could hear was my heart in my ears, and the crunching of dirt being dug out. They didn’t make a sound and the forest was dead silent. Not even a bird, leaves or an animal could be heard for miles. I bet I could scream and nobody would know.

When writing couples, I like to use the Kiss Rule:

If they have to kiss for you to know they’re in love, you’re not writing a romance right.

A concept: mermaids in wheelchairs

[crxzymxss]

my fave angel concepts:

angels smoking on a street corner bc they kno it won’t hurt them

angels crying

their wings only being visible when they’re angry or experiencing strong emotion

u can feel the buzz in the air when ur around an angel, like ur in a thunderstorm

an angel wearing their halo on their wrist and disguising it next to like 5 glow stick bracelets

they can all sing beautifully and hauntingly

angels being able to play any musical instrument n just generally having a deep connection with music

if ur asleep around an angel u always have vivid dreams

the middle of my story, or as i like to call it, the hell zone

[crxzymxss]

Me, at my character whom I created, whose dialogues I write, whose actions I decide, whose development and personality are completely under my control: Why are you such a bitch

[crxzymxss]

Why can’t you just write a simple, no plot, easy peasy series?? *bangs head on keyboard* Stop. Being. So. Detailed.

The Most Powerful Writing Advice I Ever Received

Was to ask yourself what you would want people to say about your writing when your gone and work towards that.

It just occurred to me that this can be used for ourselves too.

We often regurgitate what we know and what we have been taught in life and writing, but we don’t have to.

I was taught that life is hard so you have to be harder, I was made tough by well meaning family members and it shows in the way I write and the way I act when pushed or aggravated.

BUT

I fundamentally believe in the power of love and kindness, and when I’m gone I want my writing to be a source of beauty, even if sad, and I want people to remember me as the gentle hand that helped them up, not the closed fist that put them down.

Idk why I’m spewing all this at you guys, but it just occurred to me that someone might need to hear this:

You, and your writing, can be anything. You just need to work at it.

every writing tip article and their mother: dont ever use adverbs ever!

me, shoveling more adverbs onto the page because i do what i want: just you fucking try and stop me

[crxzymxss]

Me: *wants to make every chapter perfect right off the bat*

Me to myself: keep calm, kid. It’s the first draft, you can edit it as much as you want

Other me: *teary eyes* really?

Wiser me: *nods*

So remember kids! When you’re writing the first draft don’t stress yourself! As you maybe heard it already, the first draft is meant to simply exist

not popular in the writeblr community?

get little to no interactions? no one tags you in games? no one sends asks about your story?

tumblr is a very faulty website, and recently getting any sort of recognition became very difficult. (also, slightly related, i never know who to tag in games)

thats why:

feel free to add me to the tag list of your work! i promise to reblog and/or leave a comment! (my main is emilyelizabethfowl so replies would be from that account)

reblog or reply to this post with “tag me!” to get tagged in every game i participate in - stuff like “last line”, “find the word” etc

reblog or reply to this post with “ask me!” and i’ll come to your blog to ask about your wip!
