A Pansexual Of The Tired Variety

The most frustrating experience as a writer is having a clear vision in your mind of the story you want to tell but being too afraid to put pen to paper for fear of failing to do the story justice. I’m so scared that my actual execution will fail to meet my expectations that I’m paralysed to even start.

The biggest compliment ever is when someone sees your creative work and says that they’re now inspired to go out and create something, too

The most interesting question you can ask about any character is not what do they want. it's what do they believe they deserve. because those two things are almost never the same and the gap between them is where your entire story lives. a person can want love completely and believe they don't deserve it and that belief will destroy every good thing that comes toward them in ways they won't even notice they're doing. write the gap. the gap is the character.

I love tumblr because somehow I can end up being mutuals with a celebrity (someone that wrote a fic that I loved)

quick tip from someone who has been in fan spaces for 20 years: being enthusiastic about your rarepair and making your own stuff/engaging your fellow rarepair shippers will ALWAYS work better than yelling at people who enjoy a more popular ship about how bland their ship is

that scene from the john m ford book of the klingon officers flirting by trying to remember where and when they got certain scars on their bodies and teasing eachother about the other forgetting. romance is alive and well
