Are There Any Mooshroom Tommy Enjoyers Here

You call yourself a writer? If you have time to scroll through Tumblr or make posts about writing, you have time to write. Why are you wasting time? Go and write!

No, not really. Maybe you’ve been writing all day. Maybe you’ve been doing something else all day. Maybe you’ve been doing something else AND writing. Maybe you’re exhausted or you’re not well or you’re dealing with some heavy stuff in your life. Or maybe everything’s fine but you just feel like taking a break for a bit because it’s physically and emotionally healthy to do that.

Yeah. Read that again. It’s healthy to take breaks. You don’t have to run yourself into the ground or be in constant go-mode to prove that you’re a writer. And guess what? You can also have entire days off. Seriously. WHOLE DAYS. You don’t owe anyone 24/7 hustle and it’s actually not good for you to expect that from yourself. You wouldn’t expect it from anyone else. It’s unrealistic and unkind.

So if you actually want to be writing right now but you aren’t, then go and write. Start small and see where it takes you. If you have a deadline and you’re hardcore procrastinating, try and work through some of the brainstuff that’s making you procrastinate, then try and write. But remember that one of the reasons you might be procrastinating, deadline or not, is that you’re physically and/or mentally wiped out and you genuinely need to rest.

If you don’t feel like you can write unless you’re super inspired and motivated, but you would very much like to have written more than you have today, try to muster up a little bit of extra self-discipline and give writing a shot. You might surprise yourself. Seriously, it’s pretty amazing what can happen when you make the decision to show up and do a thing even when you’re not 100% heart and soul there for it every second that you’re doing it.

But also, if you need a rest, if you want a rest, have a rest. If scrolling through Tumblr is good happy downtime for you, scroll away. If making posts about writing brings you joy and facilitates connection, make those posts and share them with your community. Pay no mind to anyone who tells you that anything less than perfection is failure. Even if it’s yourself telling you that. Especially if it’s yourself.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

The “oh I could definitely write this fanfic in under 5000 words and it really wouldn’t take me that long” voice in your head is actually the devil speaking

throws this c!tommy doodle at u to make up for me barely posting art 

just got word from the illusion spider that it’s “extremely lit” on the cursed caldera today. happy birthday lujanne!

yes, you should feel uncomfortable. yes, it must shock you and strike to your core every time this happens. do not let the repetitive cycle of racial violence numb you to the present, daily suffering of our black brothers and sisters. stop writing and glorifying empathy and tenderness if you are not willing to extend that into practice for your oppressed neighbors of color. stand up.

Max: How many Alix’s does it take to change a lightbulb?

Kim: Just one. The real question is, how many ladders does she need?

Alix: *offended noises*
