Me: *chuckles* I do that. *shares the post out loud*

My child: is that not what you're supposed to do?

My partner: pretty sure everyone does that.

So... there's three other people who do this and pretty much can't conceive of people who don't.

I think one of the weirdest side effects of being a writer is that while I'm reading, I'll just start subconsciously editing the book. Like, if a sentence sounds odd or off to me, I'll fix it in my head and continue reading as if that were how it was written.

Does anybody else do this?

*this is also to say that we're all amazing and wonderful and that even if there are somethings we aren't as *hot* on, we're still doing a fucking standup job.

Me to Myself: Just tell them you enjoyed their story, and are a fan of their writing!

Myself: Okay, got it…. “Im in love with yo—”

Me to Myself: NO

When you read a great gut wrenching book and it haunts you forever. You spend your whole life to find another book to give you the same feeling. I'm haunted by the raven boys forevermore.

anyone else prefer the fics rather than the actual show?

and I don't mean in the "the show is awful but the fics are amazing" way, what I'm talking about is the "I literally know nothing about this fandom or its show, or who most of the characters are but THE FICS ARE HEAVENLY so imma just read the fics and not bother with the show at all" kind of way. cause, I've been doing that and am having trouble with looking at the source material. just me? maybe I just like suffering by having to google every single character.
