Each Writer Brings New Fish To The Table.

How

I didn't have THE internet while growing up. It just didn't exist. So I didn't have a lot of resources for research...

...seeing as "actual" books were hard for me to read. No attention span. I could only read Isaac Asimov. I think the last thing I read from him was this thing about robot dogs??

Now? Now there are a ton of tools to double-check facts. And I'm drowning in them. Frankly, internet is being too much for me. But my sister? She's thriving. She peruses the internet wonders as if they aren't a headache in disguise.

How????

Perfect!!

Full offense but your writing style is for you and nobody else. Use the words you want to use; play with language, experiment, use said, use adverbs, use “unrealistic” writing patterns, slap words you don’t even know are words on the page. Language is a sandbox and you, as the author, are at liberty to shape it however you wish. Build castles. Build a hovel. Build a mountain on a mountain or make a tiny cottage on a hill. Whatever it is you want to do. Write.

TCIK Original Book Update #2

It's already soooo much better!

I'm still working on the end, though...

Each arc is more fleshed out and flows better. I feel the first kiss is =waay better too. Among other things.

I'm working now on connecting the ideas, foreshadow things better, make things feel earned, sorting through the rest of my notes (and my cellphone notes too, I had forgotten them).

Many things are lacking though. I need more ideas... My structure as it is wouldn't make a good book, at all. I admit I must have only 1/3 of a good book right now.

My head feels full and I'm tired of trying to make things make sense, but they ARE making sense, finally. It's like, I want X and Y to happen, but these events contradict themselves, so it's like trying to solve a really fun (but head bashing) puzzle.

Also, my playlist is really helping. I got many ideas just by listening to it.

Anyway, I couldn't have found a better hobby. <3

Cursed be the writer that posted a 'and everybody died in the most gruesome way possible' chapter on April's Fools.

🤬

When people think I'm a man they treat me better than when people think I'm a woman.

It brings me back to that one time I was on this school show, acting as an old, male historical figure. I welcomed the incoming kids from other schools and taught them this one little song. We all had a good time. But some of them (mainly the adults) kept asking me: are you a boy? Or are you a girl??

Like, the hell should they care?

I had short hair, kinda deep voice, just a teen, but my voice was high enough and my face feminine enough that it made them doubt.

And does that even matter?

Yes, it does. Because when I tell people I'm technically male, they bite their tongues and don't say nasty shit.

And while being nonbinary myself (and I can't care less about what other people think of my gender), I can't help thinking:

What horrible world for my sister to grow up.

I wish we can all make it a better place for women, one day.

My fav books

Ariel by Sylvia Plath

hahahaha omg I'm 1) with sprinkles of 2)

There are two types of writers:

1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'

2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'

C&D Book Update #6

I've arrived at chapter 33.

I thought it'd go quickly from there... I was doing so good...

Now I've spent like, 3 hours trying to rewrite like, 5 sentences? Of course, it's dialogue. Of course.

I need it funny, I need it interesting, but it's coming as bulls.

But at least I already finished the first draft??

Ok just figured it out: I'm hearing Tchaikovsky from now on

Omg I'm here wanting to cry. Why? Because I'm hearing lo-fi & eating nutella. Somehow that's cry-inducing to me now.

And you can't even say that it must be 'that time of the month' cuz I'm not a woman, technically. What's wrong with me. WHY does lo-fi makes me want to cry. What do I even hear if not lo-fi to relax?? I tried 3daysgrace, for hours, then Bullet for my Valentine, then back to 3daysgrace, now I got no idea what to listen to. Also, I have to work, so I can't just go home and bury myself in a tower of blankets like I'm rebuilding Babel.

Never gonna hear lo-fi again.

(Make a bet on how long it takes for me to listen to it again.)
