You will not use AI to get ideas for your story. You will lie on the floor and have wretched visions like god intended

They really hate being called 'weird,' huh?

Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

Does anyone have heist movies/TV shows/books to recomend?

I'm writing a story about a heist and I really need some reference for it. It can be both period pieces and modern ones.

Please people of Tumblr, help!

The moment seemed to stretch before Edward reached out for him and hugged him to his chest. Oswald felt himself breathe as Edward’s breathing hit the side of his head. 

“ Dum,” Edward said quietly, “ It means hug. It also means to hide. Domni makes a request, hug me… hide me. ”

“ Domni…” Oswald echoed, and was pleasantly surprised when Edward held him tighter.

Skin-to skin, heart-to-heart, they eventually fell asleep.

When I get a nice AO3 comment or Tumblr reblog I have to force myself not to say "I LOVE YOU PLEASE MARRY ME CAN WE BE BEST FRIENDS FOREVER I'M OBSESSED WITH YOU" and instead say "thanks"

me, reading my own incomplete writing : *gasp* and then what happened?

[sigmawrites]

oh my favorite trope? two people who go through something so unique and agonizing and entirely beyond words that they have no choice but to create a bond that transcends all other types of love, thus acting as the sole point of understanding for the other person in a world that cannot fathom what they’ve been through

[sigmawrites]

Me, writing something at 1 am: Omg I'm literally a genius this words sound amazing I ate totally whith this one omfg

The writing:

[sigmawrites]

writers whenever they’re starting a new fic: I have these ✨ vibes ✨ now I’ll have to build an entire plot and write an entire fic about those vibes

[sigmawrites]

Getting inspired to write is actually really easy! All you need to do is be the busiest you've ever been in your entire life and as far away from a computer as humanly possible. Hope this helps 🥰

[sigmawrites]

As i said in another answer before, this story is very much something i'm writing because i want to have fun with it, because i love these characters and i think their story is one that deserves to be written, even if i'm the only one who enjoys it

i'm not sure it's unique, but i think that the way i plan of balancing excruciating angst and horror with heartbreaking human connections and love is worth mentioning

Yes! My ex girfriend read a couple of chapters, and my brother read the first one. And that's a lot because i'm a perfectionist and also i have so much anxiety about my writing, i hate when people read my stuff. But i'm overcoming it by trusting the people i love with it. Also they both know the whole plot, to some extent

Day 12

What’s your favorite thing about your story and why?

What do you feel is the most unique thing about your story and why?

Have you ever let anyone else read your drafts? Why or why not?
