#write drunk edit sober

[moody-alcoholic]

I cried TWICE writing the next chapter of Special Delivery Service.

I have nothing left to say...

I'm gonna be honest but "Monsieur Venus" is basically a dream life. So you are telling me I can just do art for the rest of my life, have weird kinky sex and get high? sign me up please

Gotta add some yeast and berries until it ferments into delicious word mead.

I'm not ignoring my WIPs. they're ripening in my mental cellar

Man, so much of the time you’re your own toughest critic…

[hireem]

even

I’m just sitting on the beach thinking how many things I like

Even if you’re not a thing I like you the most

I’m just lying in the garden talking to myself and wondering if you think about me

Even if you already have forgotten me

Don’t think, just let it go, don’t get attached to the past

You don’t have to get attached to the past

Like a twilight, past doesn’t have colors

Sometimes I can’t sleep and just think about beauty and that’s you, just being yourself

Even if you’re contemplating what you’re gonna do

There are words I can’t explain its meaning

Even when I see you too mad at the world because you can’t have it in your hands

And I say

Don’t think, just let it free, don’t get attached to the past

You don’t have to get attached to the past, to memories

Because none of it has colors and that’s it

You cannot see it.

You cannot hear it

Even if you get involved closely.

I know it's been said to write drunk and edit sober, but I've had two seltzers and now I'm just sad, a little horny, and I can't remember how to spell anything correctly

Being on the second draft of a script, truly is just "damn girl, you don't need to include every thought you have".

me, hyperfixated, writing analysis: hohoho these are such great discoveries and I've explained them sooo clearly

me, no longer hyperfixated, reading my own analysis wip after not touching it for 2 months:

[aidanchaser]

i have a tenuous relationship with physical space i receive gifts and the anxiety spikes

i am responsible for the things you gave me i owe them a home the memory of you must hold a physical space

you gave so many gifts you took up so much space yet none as large as the silence

i told you about my hatred of the silence about its weight and its fear and its doubt but it still held space between us

and i held onto it as long as i could but you see i have this tenuous relationship with space

i told you so many truths so many secrets but not about the gifts and the anxiety

did you know that I am terrified of space? i am terrified of the dark and the silence and

the fear that i cannot be heard

i purged your pictures your patches your poems i tried to make space

i could not bring myself to purge the candles so i lit them i watched them burn

i watched them become less slowly slowly slowly

i watched the space open up around them until they were nothing

i hope now there will be room

also on a less idk abstract note i think a lot of the common writing advice about how to write when uninspired tends more towards the gimmicky than the helpful OR it’s fine but really unlikely to be universal. like personally i think what helps for writing is kind of the same as what helps for literally any creative field (deliberate practise separate from the work you’re trying to create, plus sleep, water & food.) i don’t think it’s bad to experiment with what with what works for other people, but idk why the writing field is so saturated with these magic cures.
