scorpius malfoy…i named you after the edgiest constellation i could think of…but its still better than deadguy shitlord potter

today i found out that anne hathaway replaced jennifer lawrence in ocean’s 8 and i would like to thank not only god but also jesus

me at the beginning of the day telling myself i’m going to get a lot of writing done:

me 12 hours later:

i kinda really wish there were more posts about how to write more that wasnt “just write!!!!! sit down and write 10 words :)” because whilst that is good advice it doesnt help with struggling to write because of mental illness/being neurodivergent but the problem is there is literally no clear solution to that lmao 

this november: introducing ohno-wrimo, where I convince myself I'm not doing nano until we're five days in then pick up a wip at random and try to catch up as I slowly descend into madness

Me, trying to write a WIP this week: struggle sauce, barely getting out 500 words in a day.

Me tonight, writing a few short one-shot flash prompts: inspired as hell, wrote 1500 words in an hour and a half, could write more but its bedtime.

Here's something I don't see writers practicing enough: how big things can permanently change your character.

I see people putting their characters through war, abusive relationships, health disorders, and intense grief. Since popular writers often fail here, I hope you guys are also considering how these things will affect your character in the long run. I don't mean "Oh, they have bad dreams now and are jerks to everyone, but only for a little while." I mean has their entire outlook on life changed dramatically, and if so how? Does it show? Do they try to hide it and move on, or do they accept that this is who they are now? Does it take them a long time or a short time to realize things can never again be the way they were? How does that affect them? Do they choose to keep this new personality, or do they try to change it?

Not everyone wants to acknowledge this type of development in a character because it gets in the way of their plans or disrupts plot. Also, some characters are made of stern stuff or are just flexible enough to survive with their personality intact. Yet, major events in a story should leave a noticeable impact on a character, the more personal the event generally the bigger the personality change.

Just think about it if you haven't already, y'know?
