One Of The Most Stressful And Terrifying Moments Is When You Are Watching A Series/season Finale, And

i love girls with no ‘maternal warmth’. girls who are affectionate in awkward ways. girls who are not ‘caregivers’ so much as care needers. girls who mean well but come across as assholes. girls who don’t mean well. girls who cry a lot but it isn’t ‘cute’ it’s just annoying. girls who aren’t always the most beautiful one in the room. girls who are obnoxious. girls who kind of suck but u can’t help but love them bc they really are just trying,

you know what? i can't fix them. in fact, they can make me worse. they can be the worst thing to ever happen to me.

Do other writers ever get this like, hyper-specific dialogue exchange drop into their brains and you know exactly where these character are standing and what they’re doing and how they’re saying these words but that’s all you get. You don’t have much other context and this specific moment that exists only at this time in your headspace??

Cause of death: trying to write a fight scene.

One thing I genuinely like about writing, is how the story unfolds as you write it. You may start with a general idea, but little did you know that something you put in the story would become a major symbol, or that two characters would grow as close as they did, or that apparently you need a scene between Character A and Character C…

I just love how the story grows under your fingers, and becomes something beyond what you first imagined. 

writer culture be like

brain: we’re gonna write a scene while sleeping :)

me: we’re going to remember it in the morning, right?

brain: :)

me: right?
