Oh so ur a writer?? Prove it. Drop the last sentence of ur wip in the tags

[roshniwrites]

I love writing a chapter and ending it with the pov character going to sleep... just before I go to sleep myself. shared experience. parallel play, if you will

[roshniwrites]

tbh in some cases calling my projects “wips” kinda feels like a joke, because it implies that it’s actually “in progress” rather than being a thing that plagues my brain every once in a while.

[roshniwrites]

i am not taking questions at this time

[roshniwrites]

oh and btw the love was there and it changed everything. if u even care

A noir story where the grizzled detective or whatever doesn’t understand social subtext, so when the femme fatale purrs some sultry euphemism like “there’s a speed limit in this state,” the guy’s like “there’s a speed limit in all the states, what does that have to do with anything”

My ocs are the best. 

[doesn’t post content about them ever]

“I also find the stern distinction between fiction and nonfiction odd. It’s not at all a natural way of splitting up narrated experience, just as we don’t go around the museum looking for fictional or nonfictional paintings. Painters know that everything is a combination of what’s observed, what’s imagined, what’s overheard, and what’s been done before. Is Monet a nonfiction painter and Ingres a fiction painter? It’s the least illuminating thing we could ask about their works.”

I like stories where a normal human child is being raised by a sinister supernatural being who is totally malevolent except when it comes to their kid. Those are so much better than the “kids are scary” changeling type horror movies.

[roshniwrites]

as a child I used to stress myself into breakdowns over the insubstantiality of ‘the present’

I’d walk through a room and be overwhelmed with the instantaneousness of the transformation of ‘future’ to ‘past’; everything was a series of infinitesimally short moments, like frames in a video, too small to be examined closely except through imagination or memory. I’d go to make a sandwich and be arrested with the knowledge that time was a war between anticipation and recollection and that no matter how much I tried to slow down and exist in ‘the present’ I would simply be drawing on one at the expense of the other—I could acknowledge that I was buttering bread, but the first swipe of the knife was in the past, the next was in the future, and the thoughtful pause with which I sought to fill the space between was not truly slowing time or existing in ‘the present’ but merely occupying it with the substance of inaction.

Weird question but if y’all were stuck in a time loop where you died and then the day restarted over and over again, what slightly insanity-inducing song would be playing every time you woke up

[roshniwrites]

writing dialogue is some of the most fun a writer can have. but then there is also the agony suffering torment and woe that is writing dialogue.

[roshniwrites]

i love motifs i love recurring themes i love symbolism i love foreshadowing i love impactful narratives

[roshniwrites]

Every character i ever write will inevetably be neuro divergent coded because i can not for the life of me figure out how the fuck neuro typical people function.

[roshniwrites]

a niche character trope i like is the person who is nice, a good person and acts well adjusted, then they do something where it’s like. oh you’re secretly a little bit insane actually

[roshniwrites]

it would be fun if an angel and a vampire were friends i think
