💥 Small Writing Habits That Genuinely Changed How I Write 💥

listen. i’m not here to sell you a productivity system or convince you that waking up at 5am will make you a novelist. i am deeply Not That Girl. HOWEVER, here are 5 chaotic little writing habits that quietly rearranged my brain chemistry:

✏️ typing BEFORE i know what happens i used to think i had to outline everything before writing. wrong. i get more done when i let the scene surprise me. just start with vibes and a line of dialogue. the rest shows up once you start moving.

🗣️ saying the scene out loud like a play no joke. talking my scenes out like a script?? life-changing. the pacing, the emotion, the rhythm of it all makes more sense when i act like i’m gossiping about my blorbos in a voice memo.

⌛ 20-minute timers (not for productivity, just to start) i tell myself “just 20 minutes.” sometimes i stop. sometimes i blink and it’s 2 hours later and someone’s been emotionally eviscerated in chapter 12. this one’s black magic. use wisely.

🕯️ re-reading my WIP like a book no editing, no judging, just reading through with snacks like it’s already published. changes how i see the pacing and emotional arcs. also reminds me it doesn’t completely suck.

🧂 leaving in the messy parts i used to delete scenes that felt “off.” now i just write a little comment like “THIS IS BAD BUT KEEP GOING.” turns out momentum matters more than vibes. shocking, i know.

anyway. tiny habits. huge mental rewiring. 10/10. highly recommend.

I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

If the creator or something explicitly states they don’t want two characters shipped will you respect it?

White-tailed deer can only be killed by The Amulet, but unfortunately for deer, the dastardly wizards at Ford Motor Company have placed a small fragment of The Amulet in the grill of every F150.

people are so entrenched in the fucked up idea of victim/perpetrator as a discrete dichotomy that they let it bleed into their discussions on societal oppression in a way that makes them both factually incorrect as hell and infantilizing and dehumanizing as fuck

a common example i see is white people saying stuff like “ohh the indigenous peoples were all so harmonious and peaceful until the evil white people arrived” and like… that’s just blatantly wrong?? much like groups of people around the world there was plenty of fighting and things like that and infantilizing indigenous people by taking about them like harmless toddlers is actually really shitty and racist behaviour

you’ll also see it in the way white people with guilt about being culturally christian talk about every other religion as if they’ve never done anything bad ever and christianity is the only religion that has ever harmed anyone (again this is factually incorrect and infantilizing)

but the core issue is that these people can’t seem to reconcile this because they have this idea that being a “victim” means someone is 100% morally pure and innocent always and forever and being a “perpetrator” means someone who is 100% cartoonishly evil 24/7

Imagine what kind of week Kris is having though, like, they woke up posessed, their older brother is visiting from uni, bringing up all the pushed down feelings abt their parent's messy divorce, they find out not only is their religion's biblical apocalypse is real, but they are Jesus, AND Sans Undertale is fucking their mom
