You’re not just a writer.
You’re a goddamn survivor of your own imagination.
You live with noise in your head that never shuts up until you bleed it onto the page, and even then, it whispers, “Make it better.”
“I’m just a girl” first of all you’re a grown ass woman second of all free yourself
when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever
"...trust you anymore."
"...believe you sometimes."
"...stop thinking about you."
"...think straight."
"...be with you right now."
"...see where the problem is."
"...go on like this."
"...seem to understand you."
"...figure it out."
"...be who you need."
"...promise you that."
"...love you."
"...win."
"...stay."
"...leave you here."
"...listen to you anymore."
"...see the issue."
"...fail again."
"...explain it."
"...talk right now."
"...imagine myself without you."
"...do this anymore."
"...be with you tight now."
"...lose you again."
"...believe another word you say."
WAIT EXCEPT NUMBER FOUR FUCK YOU GUYS MY BAD I'M FINE I PROMISE

sorry boss can't come in today i was on my way to work and then a gentle spring breeze kissed my cheek and reminded me it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world
Yeah Mr. Darcy’s proposal was a complete turd and a half but you gotta understand. You got your life together. A good career, stable income, retirement plan, all that shit together. And you meet this girl. And she’s everything. Clever, outspoken, funny, calls you on your bullshit. Grade A cutie, right? And she doesn’t go out of her way to spend time with you but she’s nice, and sometimes you catch her looking your way in a way that makes you think you might have a shot.
But her family. Holy shit.
First off, it’s p much ALL women, and mostly UNMARRIED women, which at this time means of something happens to her dad then you’re financially responsible for like. Four grown ass adults, potentially forever
Because mom in law is DEFINITELY gonna need someone to take care of her when dad in law kicks it, and they have like. NO money. So already you’re accepting that if all goes well, you’re gonna be one random old bag’s retirement home. That’s expensive and exhausting, yeah? Imagine asking someone on a first date knowing that if they say yes and things go good her high-strung chihuahua mother is gonna move in with you. IMAGINE.
And girly’s other sisters. Well, one is a sweetheart, yeah, so she probably won’t be an issue, but that still leaves three more, and two of those ones are INSUFFERABLE. Never went to school, dumb as rocks, spend cash like it’s toilet paper
And while one of the two is young still and might grow out of it the OTHER one is actively torpedo’ing her entire family’s reputation by wandering off with random dudes and chasing ass. She’s never gonna work, she can’t build connections, she’s a fucking sinkhole, and she’s being led on by the same goddamn con man ass leeching tit who’s been bleeding you dry while telling anyone who’ll listen that your family is full of ratty thieving bastards.
And if he dumps her after a week- WHICH YOU KNOW HIS BITCH ASS IS GONNA- you’ve got a SECOND UNMARRIABLE GROWN ASS ADULT TO PROVIDE FOR. And you KNOW she’s gonna be a tantrum-throwing little shit about it, and it’s not like you can lock her in the basement or something, you’re gonna have to bring her fucking. Everywhere. And give her an allowance and shit while she contributes zero, because again, she NEVER GOT EDUCATED AND HAS NO MARKETABLE SKILLS. She’s not even good to TALK to. FUCK
And you’re looking at this girl’s father like “please for the love of fuck get your spawn under control, marry them off, get them working on their résumé, learning to sew or be nursemaids or manage staff or SOMETHING, yall got no money and one foot in the grave” and that old man just laughs like “haha yeah, what can you do. lol”
So you’re looking to the mom and finally it’s making sense how she got that twitch in her eye and as MUCH as she is you’re starting to realize she’s the SMART one, desperately throwing her armloads of girls at random men like they’re a bunch of fucking lifeboats bobbing around a sinking ship, like yes Jesus Christ sweetly that life boat IS old and ugly and kind of boring but for FUCKS SAKE PICK ONE
And you look back at this girl who is ALSO REFUSING THE LIFE BOATS BY THE WAY and god damn it she’s still the most radiant thing you’ve ever seen so fine, fuck it, Christ alive, you’ll do it. You’ll shoot your shot. She’s everything you’ve ever wanted in anybody abut it’s not even just about that anymore, it’s about being her best fucking shot at a future, and even if she doesn’t like you all that much she’s still gonna say yes and that might break your heart a bit knowing it’s about the money but who knows, maybe it will at least be civil, or companionable, and even if she doesn’t LOVE you at least you’ll know she’s well and cared for
And so you’ll do it. You’ll take on the neurotic stress mess mother in law, the absent father, the broke ass wingnut no brain no money no future airhead sisters, the bad mannered relatives and the embarrassing behaviour and the impending future of sharing your entire shit with a clown parade of freeloaders, you’ll risk it all and accept the absolute certainty of financial ruin and emotional exhaustion for the rest of your whole ass life and you’ll make your own family deal with it too, you’ll do it, you’ll fucking DO IT, you stupid lovesick motherfucker
And so you go to this chick like “look. Your whole family’s a shitshow. You’ve got fucking nothing and you’re gonna die on the street. But for some reason- and I don’t get it either- I’ve fallen in love with you, and I wish I didn’t, but I did, so I’m telling you that whether you like me or not, I’ll give you everything. I’ll give you everything even if it’s the dumbest shit I ever done. Fuck my stupid Baka ass, I’ll marry you.”
And she looks at you- having heard or considered absolutely none of your months-long internal debate and monologue- and goes “The fuck did you just say about my family, you son of a bitch?”
And the shock of that is enough to jolt you back into a reality where you are able to actually hear and process what just came out of your damn mouth And yeah
Yeah, I think I kinda get it
u survive literally every single event in your life & still every time a new event happens you feel like this is the event that will kill you and that you will never move on from but actually you will continue to survive like you always have bc u have a 100% win rate of surviving events. btw
It is important for you to understand how your fantasy world runs. It would make things a whole lot easier to write a novel if you understand how things work in this world. I would recommend planning out some information before you start your writing journey. I have briefly discussed some other helpful tips for writing a fantasy book before too! 1. Think about the currency/currencies in your world, do you want it to use coins or something different? Just like the world we live in, you cannot travel to a place that doesn't need some aspect of currency, whether it is dollars, euros or something else. A very simple idea could be using buttons for a currency.
2. What are the jobs and their purposes? How respected are they in society?
3. This links to number 2, but what is the agriculture and crop growing like? How needed are the farmers? Do plants grow via magic, photosynthesis or something else?
4. How does the world work through trading, communication, travel and combat?
5. How big are the villages, cities and locations in your world?
6. Who are the Gods/deities in your world and how did they create the world. Are there any in particular who are of importance? Why, why not?
7. What could be some of the stories in your world that have been told and passed down for generations? Are they myths, truths or does no one know?
8. What is the education system like?
9. Plan your magic system! For example, it could be generated through energy, a magic crystal, a gift from a God, who may have gifted something to the living beings in order to help them exist in some way.
10. Think about the names of your locations, if needed I can do a separate post dedicated to naming a place.
11. Impacts of characters. Why is your character good for the world/bad for the world? Are they even necessary to the plot, if not, think about if they even need to be written about.
12. How is their food prepared and made?
13. What are the politics like through voting systems and laws etc? Who are the people in charge?
sexual activity
how you dress
stealing my food
stealing my lemons
my cat likes you more than me
googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much
canceled my prime membership today
if i ever tell you about my past, it's not for you to feel sorry for me, but for you to understand why i am the way i am
