Writers when they finally finish their first draft after months of hard work, blood, sweat and tears 🥹

Screaming relief 😩

“what’s your writing process” i put a pathetic guy in a blender and blend blend blend

You’ll rewrite it later anyway, so stop staring at the blank page like it owes you money. Just start.

i hate how i can write drabbles and small tidbits for days, but once it comes to actually writing a full-fledged chapter for a fic it feels forced n ends up sounding like a sad song on a forgotten instrument.

i found this image to be quite inspirational, thus i wish to share it. you don't have to make something phenomenal much less rather something exceptional. you must first put it out there and tweak things later because you cannot build off of something you put nothing into. some day you'll regret never putting yourself out there.

create beautiful, wonderful things.
