#writers writing

[writingadvicethatsavedmylife]

Hi! I’m Claire, and I’m a writer. If you’re here reading this blog, then I’m guessing you’re a writer, too!

Writing is a weird thing… sometimes confusing, often mysterious, always messy, and occasionally painful. But it’s also fun, uplifting, challenging, satisfying, rewarding, and sometimes...? Sometimes writing is a holy, soul-changing act of revelation.

I love hearing about what excites other writers, what challenges they’re facing, and what’s motivating them to write in the first place. I believe that the world is a big enough place for everyone’s writing (and if you’re reading this and thinking, “Not my writing,” then I’m going to go ahead and tell you how wonderfully wrong you are).

The world is big enough for everyone’s writing, and that means yours, too!!

So if you’re stuck, stumped, just starting out, or staring at a blank page with dread? Hop into my Asks and I’ll do my best to answer your questions. 💖

Happy writing!!

Hey y'all! I am very interested in helping people who need writing advice - this can cover any aspect of creative writing, and you can ask anonymously if you're shy! (Just sign your note with an emoji so I can refer to you as "🦖 anon" or whatever.)

Uploaded the last chapter of Wanderlust: B90 last night. Wrote this just now, anybody interested in the rest?

When you marry a Milkovich, you marry the whole family, Ian knew that going in.

That meant a few things.

It meant random three AM phone calls that pulled his husband out of bed and out the door with nothing more than a kiss and an "I'll be back." Whenever that happened, it meant not asking where he's going or asking where he'd been when he returned. It meant occasionally hiding what can generally be described as contraband, which also meant not acknowledging said contraband is present in the apartment from the day it arrives, until the day it disappears. It meant having a stash of cash available so when (not if) somebody needed bail money, they could contribute a portion of it with no expectation of being repaid.

Ian also knew that it meant eventually, someone was going to turn up dead.

Just letting you gusy know I'm blocking my tumblr on webapp for like an hour to get the best out of my writing time and not get distracted. (I might forget to turn it off so I'm making this post in advance haha)

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

Anyone who's ever done anything creative needs to fucking see this.

Note to self:...

your friendly weekly reminder:

ratios don’t mean shit

no fic is too short or too long

you don’t have to do what your commentators want

some of the best fics get 0 comments

some fics get more kudos because they’re in a popular fandom/pairing at a popular time

people will enjoy your fic without commenting and that’s hard sometimes

keep writing ❤️
