I need writing advice.

So, for those of you who have written stories/books, weather you've completed them or not, what is the main online base that you post on? I've been writing my first original work and the only place I can think of to post it is on Ao3 but I also know views aren't very many for original works. Also did you complete the story before you posted it?

I don't know how this works because I've never done this before 😭

Writing tip of the day: Embrace the power of revision. Your first draft is just the beginning. Take the time to review, revise, and refine your work. Edit for clarity, coherence, and flow. Cut unnecessary words and tighten your sentences. Polish your prose until it gleams. Remember, great writing is often the result of multiple rounds of revision. Don't be afraid to make changes and let your words evolve. Happy writing!

This old poem, written before my current relationship, references a conversation with a friend. We talked about how when you're single, you can fully sprawl out on your bed, which you can't do when you fall asleep with another person. Sometimes, things like that are awesome, but when you're in a healthy relationship, like the one I'm in now, they certainly lose their appeal. This poem, called "Please Stop Never Stop," is about missing the good aspects of a toxic relationship.

Read obsessively.

Write furiously.

Edit carefully.

listen I know it's heartbreaking that Claudia dies and it's understandable to wish she didn't, but let's please not accuse the writers of fridging her. to do so is a fundamental misunderstanding of the story and is frankly insulting to the intelligence and skill of the writers of the show.

Claudia's death, and the overwhelming grief and regret her parents experience because of it, is quite literally the point of the entire story. she dies because Anne's daughter Michele died of leukemia when she was five years old and there was nothing she or her husband could do to prevent it.

writing IWTV was how Anne coped with the unimaginable loss of a parent losing her child. she created a story about a little girl that could not die and then killed her anyway. Claudia's death is a senseless, unavoidable tragedy, just like Michele's was. the grief that haunts Louis and Lestat for the rest of their lives is the same grief that haunted Anne and her husband.

so when you're accusing people of killing Claudia off to benefit a story about two men, please remember that in real life sometimes parents lose their children. please remember Michele Rice.

she's the reason Claudia exists.

she's also the reason Claudia cannot be saved.

This is what happened when a fanfic site is profit driven. Wattpad sucks 😞

The email/DM from Wattpad is so condescending. Imagine pressuring writers to update and work while they are doing it for free and fun. Also, the discovery? Algorithm? Of Wattpad looks like a stressful popularity contest 😑

older boyfriend!simon who's been pulling out to finish on your thighs since you've started dating. older boyfriend!simon who can't help but want to cum inside of you, especially when your cute little pussy clenches around his cock so greedily. older boyfriend!simon who moans when you cream around the base of him, whining and shaking. older boyfriend!simon who presses a sloppy kiss to your puffy lips when you beg for him to fill you up dazedly, with tear-stained cheeks. older boyfriend!simon who finally gives in. "wan' me t'a stuff y'r pretty pussy with my cum, hm?" ˙ᵕ˙

This poem is dedicated to those in my life who have been affected by drugs, and to two close friends who I lost to a reckless lifestyle. I wrote a brief, related article on my website at this link.

I’m writing a first draft and reminding myself that I’m simply shovelling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.
