Hey. Stop scrolling for a second.

You scroll through writeblr a lot, don't you? I get why. Lots of fun people, interesting concepts and prompts. But maybe you haven't taken that jump from collecting resources on writing to actually writing.

Once again, I get it. It's daunting if you've never done it before. I've been doing it for a while and I genuinely can't think too hard about the act itself as it happens or else I get all sweaty and confused. I flopped spectacularly at a game of Scrabble tonight because I just ran out of words to think of and I'm in the middle of my 13th novel. Writing to me is like side-eyeing the sun - but that's besides the point.

What I mean is that you should do it. That idea that you think could be, might be, maybe has potential. More than that, I think you should do it right now. Right now.

Ooh but Clove, it's one AM and I have to do open heart surgery tomorrow. Cool. Write three sentences and go to sleep, then see if you want to do more after you get your license revoked.

But what if it's not good? Okay. What if it isn't? But what if it isn't, and it GETS good later? Or what if it isn't, but then later in the story you find a way to make those three initial sentences make sense? Three sentences isn't a story, unless you're Ernest Hemingway or a Haiku Man. Moving on.

Clove, where do I start? Honestly if you've never finished a project, or really never wrote anything at all, maybe just start at the point that sounds the most interesting in your head. To find the process that works for you takes work and experience so maybe for now you get dessert for dinner.

But I don't have an outline/character sheet/world map/mood board/playlist/ECT! Cool. Maybe that's an issue. Maybe it isn't. There's only one way to find out.

But it's hard! It's hard at first and then it gets easier. It's a muscle. You work at it consistently and you'll get to a point where you struggle to remember what it was like to not know how to write.

But it's painful! Hah yeah. That's kind of the more honest issue, isn't it. It's easier to think that your idea WOULD BE GREAT rather than face the fact that you might not be able to MAKE IT GREAT. That fear isn't based in reality, though. People like different things. You might write a work that you're displeased with in one aspect and find that it's changed someone else's life for a completely different reason.

What if I'm not a good writer? I struggle with this a lot and I've been published. It doesn't really go away even when people cry at your work and heap praise on it. But if you like to do it, if you would still be doing it even if there was no end promise of fame and success, you should do it.

What if I'm not a writer at all? I used to ask myself that. There are lots of answers to this question so I can only give my own: you are a writer if you write - past, present or future. If you haven't written in a long time but you're trying to get back to the craft, you are still a writer. You just have to keep trying.

What we do is half-trade, half-religious act, and because of that it is easily one of the weirder passions. I don't really get why people romanticize the field but at the same time I guess it seems pretty magical at times. As a writer, though, our job is to be the proverbial Man Behind the Curtain. You have to know how the magic trick works enough to do it successfully, but you also still have to be amazed. It's weird. I don't know why I do it.

I still do it though.

Write three sentences. Right now. Why not, right? If you send them to me in an ask I'll read them, or you can send them to me at my email address that I posted a few posts back because I'm old enough to know online safety and choose to ignore it. Or just do it for yourself.

Make something. You deserve to be a source of creation.

Had a shower thought that I'm sure someone somewhere in the scope of the wide internet has touched on before, but tonight I'm thinking about Miles choosing the von Karmas

Maybe he's a child, recently orphaned, with no immediate family. Maybe he finds a way to reach out to the nearest familiar face. Someone close to the incident. Someone who was present that day. Someone who understands. Maybe he asks Manfred von Karma to adopt him.

Maybe he's a newly emancipated 16 year-old, desperate to escape a nowhere town with grandparents or cousins who don't really know what to make of him. Maybe he forges his own destiny. Maybe he writes an email in his clumsy high school German asking for an apprenticeship.

Neither of these is a hard headcanon for me, but I do think they're fun to consider

If any of this contradicts or is redundant with canon, no it doesn't and no it isn't

So I'm sitting here thinking some thoughts ya know, but-

What if when Azriel meets his mate and they go to shake hands, his mate starts admiring the scars on his hands, and when he notices they have been staring for so long, he pulls away because he's embarrassed. But his mate grabs his hands again and begins comparing them to something like a work of art, telling him how each of his scars are beautiful. And they sit there tracing the lines with their fingers, the ones that he had become so self-conscious of, but his mate is treating them with such care and affection as if it is a painting, like something to be treasured. Showing him that though his scars may be from a dark place, they are what make him unique. And that they are beautiful. Just like him.
