one of my worst writing sins is abusing my power to create compound words. i cannot write the sentence "The sun shone as bright as honey that afternoon." no. that's boring. "The sun was honey-bright that afternoon" however? yes. that sentence is dope as fuck. i do not care if "honey-bright" is a word in the english dictionary. i do not care if the sentence is grammatically correct. i will not change. i will not correct my erred ways. the laws of the english language are mine.

The biggest compliment ever is when someone sees your creative work and says that they’re now inspired to go out and create something, too

If you’re having writers block…READ!!!! CONSUME MEDIA

I feel like I don’t hear that given enough as advice for writers block..just read? Watch tv? Movies? Find inspiration in media.

Writers block is a lack of inspiration, so go collect more.

every writer wants to create the next great masterpiece, but some of us are destined to write chaotic nonsense where the main character makes out with their sworn enemy while a building explodes in the background. and that’s okay.

“omg you’re so creative. how do you get your ideas” i hallucinate a single scene in the taco bell drive thru and then spend 13 months trying to write it

I love taking my readers on a journey.

Where are we going? I dunno. How fast am I driving? Don't worry about it. Unlock the door? Just put your seatbelt on you'll be fine.

not to be boring but I like when evil characters.... well not become “redeemed,” more like they become domesticated. its just delightful when like an evil monstrous little bastard man goes from committing murder to getting mad someone misplaced their costco card or left the jar of mayo on the counter all day.

Becoming a writer is great because now you have a hobby that haunts you whenever you don’t have time to do it

therapy paid off a little too well because now my first instinct is to have my characters talk things out and be mature and i’m like wtf

[ryderwritings]

Oh characters doomed from the start we’re really in it now

He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.

As a writer I need everyone to know that whenever I write "exchanged glances" my intent is this

Apparently I am cursed to get the best ideas for writing in only 3 places:

1. While I'm in the shower, getting ready in the morning

2. While I'm in bed, trying to fall asleep

3. While I'm sitting in class, and listening to the most boring explanations I have ever heard

"Would anyone want to read --" Listen, imma stop you right there. Yes. YES, someone would want to read that. You write that weird little fucked up story. Or that domestic little slice of life story. That drabble or that 300k monster.

I promise someone wants to read it.
