And that someone can be you.

your writing doesn’t have to be perfect. it just has to make someone feel something.

[wren-writes617]

I am both of these.

there are two types of writers.

“this plot has been in my head for 10 years and finally it’s perfect.”

“what if frogs had a secret government?”

[wren-writes617]

i write for myself not for comments but dear god getting comments does so remind me of the joy of writing and sharing something

How to Use the Reference Desk

The SPN Reference Desk is here for all of your nichest, most seemingly insignificant questions about Supernatural canon as well as comprehensive guides covering the basics in one single space. Unlike a fandom wiki, these guides are aimed specifically at the needs of creators and fan-fiction authors who want to dive deeper into certain topics like Baby’s specs, Bobby’s house layout, or how the hell the boys’ different guns work.

Types of Guides - SPN Reference Desk written guides - SPN Reference Desk screenshots - Art references - How-to guides - Other people’s guides

Reference Desk guides will be broken down into categories. Within those categories, each guide will be grouped by topic and tagged for easy access.

Due to the “work in progress” nature of this blog, categories and topics that are listed below but don’t have a link are guides planned for the future.

Locations - Bobby’s House - Singer Auto Salvage - Men of Letter’s Bunker - etc. Car Talk - Baby (1967 Impala) - Castiel’s Pimpmobile (1978 Continental) - John’s truck (1986 GMC) - etc. Weaponry - Handguns           - Dean’s M1911           - Sam’s PT92           - “The Colt” - Shotguns           - Ithaca 37           - Remington 870 - Ammunition - Blades - Magical weapons - etc. Lifestyle - Personal belongings - Travel - In-universe brands - etc.

An Aunt’s love haiku portion of larger poem.

Pink Flamingo

I thought if you today,

When I saw a pink flamingo.

Thought of dropping by,

And maybe saying hi.

The thought passed quickly though:

Stopping by,

Saying hi.

Those aren’t things we do anymore.

We don’t call, or text, or write.

I ought to just forget.

Move on,

Be free.

I still love you though.

Through all the pain and hurt.

Some days I love so much I think I just may burst.

You had my back for a time,

But now that time has passed.

You know me more than most,

Though if you knew me at all,

I don’t know.

But I saw a pink flamingo today,

It made me think of you.

In that spot, she sat, the moss over growing here and there. She observed the castle from afar, as she so often did. The edge of her farmland was so close, and yet she’d never left it. The doors were here, she was safe and sound. The archway gate was always closed. She longed to leave, she longed to stay. The outside world was dark and scary, but she needed to know more.

If you're reading this...

go write three sentences on your current writing project.

[wren-writes617]

I saw a post talking about how Terry Pratchett only wrote 400 words a day, how that goal helped him write literally dozens of books before he died. So I reduced my own daily word goal. I went down from 1,000 to 200. With that 800-word wall taken down, I’ve been writing more. “I won’t get on tumblr/watch TV/draw/read until I hit my word goal” used to be something I said as self-restraint. And when I inevitably couldn’t cough up four pages in one sitting, I felt like garbage, and the pleasurable hobbies I had planned on felt like I was cheating myself when I just gave up. Now it’s something I say because I just have to finish this scene, just have to round out this conversation, can’t stop now, because I’m enjoying myself, I’m having an amazing time writing. Something that hasn’t been true of my original works since middle school. 

And sometimes I think, “Well, two hundred is technically less than four hundred.” And I have to stop myself, because - I am writing half as much as Terry Pratchett. Terry fucking Pratchett, who not only published regularly up until his death, but published books that were consistently good. 

And this has also been an immense help as a writer with ADHD, because I don’t feel bad when I take a break from writing - two hundred words works up quick, after all. If I take a break at 150, I have a whole day to write 50 more words, and I’ve rarely written less than 200 words and not felt the need to keep writing because I need to tie up a loose end anyways. 

Yes, sometimes, I do not produce a single thing worth keeping in those two hundred words. But it’s much easier to edit two hundred words of bad writing than it is to edit no writing at all.

Missing you is like breathing.

I do it without thinking.

It’s the only constant I believe in.

And I know it’s for the best.

Our separation,

Our division,

Our breakup.

Whatever you want to call it.

I don’t miss who I was with you.

I don’t miss who you were

But god do I miss who you could have been

Who you should’ve been.

That’s how I remember you, you know.

That’s why it wouldn’t work.

I couldn’t meet you where you were at.

I only saw where you could be.

And I hope this finds you well

Somewhere out there

I hope you wonder if it’s meant for you.

And I pray you’ll never know it’s true.

[wren-writes617]

Some days, I miss you. Some days I hate you. I see our pictures together, pictures you took. The place in my heart you used to rent. I loved you. You were everything. You took a piece of me with you. A piece I’ll never get back. I wish I could reach out. Get closure, have a decent conversation. I hope I never see you again.

I miss you and hate you. Both are true.

[wren-writes617]

my writing fundamentally changed forever ten years ago when i realized you could use sentence structure to control people’s heart rates. is this still forbidden knowledge or does everyone know it now

[wren-writes617]

Hey y’all, here I’ll be posting snippets of things I’ve written, be it fanfiction, or poetry, or other stories or ideas I have, at least, that’s the plan.

You can find me occasionally (rarely) posting rants and what not about personal stuff on @emotionallystalepotato17 supernatural stuff on @wrenwinchester and me being me on @just-wren617
