the thing about my writing is that you can tell i started as a poet, which sounds like a good thing in theory but in practice is annoying as shit
#writing#writing problems#does it sound beautiful on occasion? yes#do i have to go in and remove like half of it bc it's just metaphors and philosophizing? also yes#it sounds cumbersome. it's cumbersome and it doesn't Flow and it is driving me insane at this very moment#poetry is very different from prose#and in short form fiction you can Sort of get away with it#but i'm also writing long form for the first time in ages and oh my god why is this so fucking difficult#the action beats are in a completely different place#help#it sounds wrong it all sounds wronggggg#writer problems#writer things

Some names for chapters/stories/songs/whatever that I've written down!
Warning: i got most of these from songs & quotes i like lol. Also there's like a lot under the cut.
-Isn't all that rage ugly?
-Painting brighter memories
-Walking straight into the sea
-Isnt bite also touch?
-She rots in my mouth
-Little things aren't so little
-Lust for a vampyr
-Give me shelter, the night is dark
-I just want your love, so don't waste my time
-Queen of swords
-Mistress of grief
-Lady of tears
-A love this deep wont stay buried
-She was a gentle sort of horror
-We fall apart when nothings new
-Hot drops of milk and red tea
-The stars look alive
-And your kisses at night are replaced with tears
-I'm not going to hurt you yet
-I gave you my life baby, and now I'm gonna take yours
-A longing for love and red wine
-Avalanche slide flows like a stream
-And if I'm going to hell, i hope that you go too
-Must be lonely loving someone
-The sound when leather jackets hit the ground
-I won't be at heavens gate
-Where did you come from?
-Why was i led to you
-Getting older, while you stay young
-A shiver and a rush
-The sky before my eyes is never colour gray
-She gave me half my bones
-And looking clean
-And do so as we please
-Making up new numbers
-Nothing matters cuz we're both in space
-It's such a bore
-Before the war, when she was young
-I couldn't kill to save a life
-But now I'm getting sick of you and it's just too bad
-We'll wait with knives after class
-I never gave a single thought to where it might lead
-All those empty rooms
-Ten years worth of dust and neglect
-Running through your hollow bones
-Maybe i should run, I'm only 21
-Got caught in a romance with them somehow
-What do you want from my world?
-I really don't buy that you're that kind of guy
-Let me go tonight
-Yet here i sing about nothing
-You must be from another galaxy
-You saved me from a certain tragedy
-Sink into the wasteland underneath
-I'll sell you a dream
-Why were you put on earth?
-Back to a time before i had a form
-Back to a time before i was born
-But i guess i wouldn't know
-We can blame it on that I'm young, naive and really miserable
-Fill my lungs up with your smoke til i find a way to breath again
-The moon controls the tide, it could cause you to drown
-The crystal tide is raising
-I think my fate is losing its patience
-And teach myself how to die
-Now I'm just making up facts
-There's no meaning to the words
-Your voice is driving me insane
-The words, they don't make sense
-I try to show emotion
-I know I stole that line
-I know they adore us
-You are who I adore
-Being this godly can't be good
-Walk away with all our little gods spare change
-Watch the world decay
-A cumbersome and heavy body
-Take my lungs, take them and run
-I ain't sending you shit, no offence
-Never really learned how to act right
-Don't kiss and tell
-I'm a star girl, about time you realised
-Cuz your brain is out of action
-Don't be cute, be scary
-Been mad since you were seventeen
-Ain't it funny how I scare myself sometimes?
-It's like this feeling is gonna consume me
-I wanna be your mate or maybe go on a date
-The Blue water makes you look so pretty
-But you and I will always be back then
-And hang each moment up like pictures on the wall
-Let me hear you whisper that you love me too
-I'll make you be okay
-Laughing as the waves come rolling to my knees
-And longing for what could be
-But that doesn't come so easily
-Endlessly reliving moments we never had
-I'd rather play dead at a necrophilia convention
-Horrors live in cavities and they come out at night
-Just to be clear, this is not a metaphor
-Rumble in my tumble
#if you know where any of these lyrics come from ily#writing prompts#chapter names#story names#this is mostly for myself#but you can use them too#giggles and runs away#will add more as i think of them
