All those who aspire to complete novels should recognise what a unique skill this is, and why it is completely worth forsaking a standard career, a steady income, and even, hard as it is to say, the slim chance of publication.
So few people are skilled writers, and even fewer have the imagination and skill to write an accomplished novel. In a world drowned by distraction and where "steady" jobs are in danger of disappearing, now is actually the perfect time to pursue writing fiction.
Writers, if they are wise, will never be unemployed. Our myriad skills can be leveraged into numerous positions.
Write novels!
Been thinking about this a lot lately... It's especially good advice for those of us that are terrible plotters. Just take it one step at a time.

Reading Mockingjay as an adult is extra devastating because. Of course the plucky teenager and her ragtag friends aren't going to sneak into a government building to kill the president with a bow and arrow. That's absolutely ridiculous. It's the kind of thing that's only possible in the kind of propaganda that Coin developed. But she's so good at it that in some ways she tricks the reader into thinking that's the kind of story this is, too--even after 3 books reminding us that pretty much everything that Katniss does the second she volunteers is manipulated by adults pulling strings to make propaganda in some form or another.
#rotating it in my brain#monstrous-femme said Coin was using the YA novel format as propaganda#and yeah. YEAH#where's that review that's like. oh. turns out it wasn't about the love story after all.#thg#the hunger games#mockingjay

A man who didn't have a father.
A man who didn't have friends.
A man who lost his mother.
He lived only when he read the book.

Carrie is fat in the book. Learning that completely blew me.
The use of pigs blood makes so much more sense. The reason she was bullied so relentlesly, even though she does nothing to nobody, makes so much more sense. The relationship with her mother makes so much more sense.
I know they aren't going to, but I wish they would cast someone fat in this new Carrie adaptation. From the articles I've seen, they are already speculating which skinny actress it's going to be.
How many times can they tell the story the same exact way? The answer: endlessly.
I don't know what's worse the total erasure of fat people in movies or the only story we get to see ourselves in are the love yourself fatty movies.

If Aaron and Katelyn's love story was ever told from Katelyn's POV, I feel like it would follow so many YA romance tropes. Like the bad boy with an attitude problem who keeps pushing you away? It's because he has a tragic backstory and a strained relationship with his brother. He's occasionally extremely violent? Okay well he's also the sweetest and most caring boy in the world and like honestly he's just really misunderstood. You guys can see each other, but it needs to be a secret relationship. He's a jock, but like, he's not like other jocks. Also the mafia is involved somehow.
The biggest difference is that she never felt like she had to fix him (and he never had to fix her either) and for that I stan this couple so much.
#like aaron's life is insane and she just rolled with it#the STRENGTH this woman has#but like seriously she's in like a slightly distorted wattpad novel#aftg#idk their ship name actually#aaron minyard#katelyn mckenzie#all for the game#andrew minyard#aftg extra content#aftg extra content spoilers#i love them your honor#the foxhole court#the raven king#the kings men

Eu estive jogando alguns desses jogos e fiquei com vontade fazer algo parecido com o que eu tinha feito com os personagens de slasher a um tempinho atrás.
Não sei porque coloquei o pobre Micah no meio desses bastardos, ele é o único normal ali, o único não lunático, a única opção boa...(mas eu escolho o Tate)
