Does Anyone Have Any Tips Or Ideas For Getting Your Writing Out There? Pls & Thx It’s Rough In These

evermore is such an insane album when you really think about it. like. love isn't forever. friendship isn't forever. trust isn't forever. family isn't forever. even a marriage isn't forever. but then she ends on evermore (song) and it's like: you know what else isn't forever? pain. suffering. heartache. she just flips the script of the entire album on the LAST SONG and cements the complexity of its core message in 5 minutes. and i'm supposed to be normal about that

do you torture the character you relate to most and recreate your own abuse in fiction to cope or were your needs and feelings acknowledged as a child

fyi i do not “crush” i experience violent, all-consuming devotion and yearning that leaves me physically ill

does anyone else feel like a snake shedding their skin when they’re on their period or is it just me? like i’m literally going through metamorphosis rn and i’m just supposed to be normal about it???

no let me rot in bed in peace until i am ready to be perceived again

the concept of one of my characters being this super smart intuitive guy who can read a room/person with the snap of a finger, but couldn’t figure out the love of his life was keeping a scandalous secret from him is soooo😭

me whenever i think of a new storyline/plot idea that hits like absolute crack:

is this a safe space? i hate writing sex scenes.

that’s like the one thing i try my hardest to include very little of. but it’s hard bc i know some people enjoy reading those scenes when it comes to romance stories specifically, (which is completely fine! no judgement whatsoever!) i just hate writing them😭

i much prefer alluding to it or transitioning into a scene break/cut. but like i said, i know some readers enjoy reading those moments so i force myself to include some crumbs of it. which is fine, i guess. i’ll survive how awkward i feel, no big deal

yk what’s crazy is before i found my love for writing again, i used to read books (romance books specifically) and think to myself:

“wow, authors/writers are some of the most creative people out there. to create an entire ensemble of characters and give them such distinct personalities/backgrounds/upbringings, and to create an entire world of storylines for them is truly something magical.”

i used to wish i could do that. i never thought myself capable of such creativity. i used to wish i could be capable of creating an ensemble of characters i could write and have fun with. a fictional world i could create and find some escape in, and now i do.

i love the little world of characters i’ve created so much. can confirm: it is truly magical✨

oh and happy late new year💛☺️☀️

do I make a plot? Ah no, I either plot 5-10 chapters ahead and then I write, or I just get a plot in my dreams and I get to add into it when I wake up

“She stands out in a way no rambunctious crowd or stuffy room could hold back.

She is the room.

She’s the diamond chandelier people awe at.”
