writers writing: pacing must be an intentional element of mood and style; grammar and punctuation has to be on point; wording needs to be perfect.!!
writers texting: im.,, silly. i put the punctuation whereever my heart desires........ must not sound upright or passive aggressive.,,,,
having OC’s is crazy for real because no one else gives a fuck meanwhile you’ll be at the function thinking about them (guys who are not real) like

a moodboard for a fictionalized version of cartwright, labrador from my wip that takes place in the early-to-mid-2000s.
cartwright population: 550 nestled along the southern labrador coast, beautiful cartwright was first settled in 1775. it has only recently been connected by road with the rest of the country since 2002. the main industry is the crab fishery, though sometimes small amounts of tourists show up to hunt, fish, or explore the plentiful wilderness around the isolated community. (note: the southern coast of labrador irl does not typically see the aurora borealis, but in my world it does!)
I was very fortunate to major in Creative Writing when I went to college. It was a great experience, but I remember being so nervous when I walked into my first class as a freshman.
I'd been writing stories since elementary school, so I worried that this first class would teach me something wildly different than what I knew about writing. Maybe there was some secret formula to creating characters or mental exercises that immediately dissolved writer's block that you could only learn from a professor.
When my first class ended, I was shocked.
The first thing you learn in a university-level creative writing class?
Read more than you write.
It's that simple. I thought my professor had lost his mind, but the many others that followed always echoed the advice.
The advice then saved my ability to write when I was getting through each day during some of the hardest times of my life.
Pick up the good books. The great books. The terrible books that make you quit reading them because they're so bad.
They will all make your writing stronger.
You'll learn how to write fantastic characters, weave plot lines, and paint worlds with words. You'll also learn what you don't like in someone's writing so you can avoid it in your own.
Even during the periods when I wrote nothing at all, reading kept that love for writing alive in my heart.
It's the best way to reconnect with that passion if you've lost it and the greatest way to develop that skill.
Read more than you write.
Your storylines and characters will thank you later.
