Do You Think Your Characters Would Be Friends With You Irl? Honestly, I Don’t Think Mine Would Be Friends

"please picture me in the weeds before i learned civility ... are there still beautiful things?" just... yeah. yeah.

happy one year anniversary to what has become my go to album as a mentally ill girly who has literally never gotten over anything ever: the tortured mental illness- i mean the tortured poets department🖤🤍

easily a top 3 taylor album for me!

and a special shoutout to my favorite songs on the album:

peter (HUGE fav, probably #1), who’s afraid of little old me? (another HUGE fav), so long london, the prophecy (SAD fav), my boy only breaks his favorite toys (UNDERRATED fav), the bolter, guilty as sin, fresh out the slammer, loml, down bad, cassandra, i hate it here, how did it end?, so high school, i can do it with a broken heart, the alchemy, chloe or sam or sophia or marcus, the smallest man who ever lived & i look in people’s windows

eras tour just ended haha no one talk to me hahahahaha

do any other writers try their hardest to convince themselves they don’t have a favorite character to write or am i the only one burdened by the anchors of denialism

(but if anyone asks, i love all my children equally)

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

How can I become a writer?

Write.

But I don't know where to start.

But I'm worried.

What if nobody likes it?

If you’re shrouded in writers block and desperately want to shoo it away to keep going with your WIP, it sometimes helps to delete the last few sentences/paragraph/scene and rewrite it. Sometimes you accidentally build dams in your creative stream and the only way around is to go back and break it down

being a romance writer has truly warped my perception of love and romance irl in a sense that i have *such* high standards and expectations of what i want in a relationship.

i want a love that sweeps me off my feet and nothing less! it’s too bad basic romance feels like some unattainable holy grail these days🫠

where are the men who yearn and court??? where are they????????!!!!!!!!!
