When I’m depressed Phantom of the Opera serenades me

In the Heights tells me to breathe

Matilda reminds me this is my story and I can change it

Annie shows me that tomorrow can be better

Dear Evan Hanson lets me know I will be found

School of Rock tells me not to take shit from anyone

And the are so many more that help me get through the day

Heathers, Be More Chill, Cats, Hamilton, Hairspray just to name a few

So thank you musicals for being there in the darkest times

I gave in and listened to Hamilton right around the same time I read Six of Crows, and this idea has bugged me ever since! Finally got around to putting it together as I continue the saga of figuring out how to work the new tablet.

(UPDATE: Act 2 this-a-way!)

Is your writing not going anywhere?

Raise the stakes. Put your characters in a bad situation and make it even worse.

Get a piece of paper. Write down a list of “what-ifs” that could take your story from where you are to the next stepping stone over in an engaging way. Choose your favorite.

Find a playlist of a genre you don’t usually listen to. Put it on shuffle. Let the first song you hear be an inspiration for your next major plot point.

Find a word in a foreign language that you can’t translate into English. Let that word become a significant part of your story.

Look up a place name generator. The first result is the next stop in the plot. Let the worst thing they can imagine be waiting for them there.

Find a random country. Take a food, a dance, or a weird little custom from their culture and work it into the story somehow.

If you are not a pantser, become one. Throw away your character arc and let your imagination dance naked in the proverbial rain.

Stop. Take a break. Go for a walk and notice the little things. See and describe with all five senses. Look at things through your characters’ eyes. Breathe in.

Look at the weather outside your window. How can you describe it without playing to “It was a dark and stormy night…”? Is it even possible?

Read. Read read read read read. It doesn’t have to be a novel. What’s going on in the world? What new scientific breakthroughs have been discovered? What is Marmaduke up to this week? Look at how they tell their stories and learn from them.

Doodle. Just draw whatever. It frees up your mind and you could come up with some fantastic plot points along the way.

Go and be weird and stupid with your friends. They probably have things to say that could come right from the mouths of your characters.

Look up regional gothic, aesthetic boards and self-care. Tumblr is a goldmine waiting to be tapped.

Imagine your story as a musical, or better yet, an opera. Sing it, and you can get away with murder.

Forget everything you ever learned about writing. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Write now, edit later.

Start over. Everything must return to the ashes it came from someday, even your writing.

Reblog if you would read a book with NO romance arc and a female, asexual main character

Someone said no one would ever read my book because there’s no love triangle. Prove them wrong?

[itwasthenarglesthatdidit-blog]

if you dont believe in god thats fine but when extremely horrible things have happened and people are praying for the lost souls of children, it is not the time to speak up. it is not just “stating your opinion” it’s being an asshole

[itwasthenarglesthatdidit-blog]

I am slightly terrified but I’m doing it anyways.

ha?

every single person who reblogs this

every

single

person

will get “doot doot” in their ask box

I Want To Look Like That
