I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

REBLOG TO SAVE A WRITER'S LIFE

I use this every time I sit down to write. It's the best tool in the world and I would be lost without it!

Jesus, I want what Rian was on when he was writing Martha, because when I sat down to rewatch the trilogy it's so clear he made her as a dark 'what if' to poor Marta. Names aside: here's a woman who goes overlooked by the people around her, an invisible worker who's never appreciated. Working in an environment that hates her for what she is (an immigrant in the Thrombey house for Marta, a woman in the church for Martha) but it's okay, because they're one of the good ones. And they have a friend! The patriarch of the family that runs the place they work. And then that man, that father figure, pulls them aside and tells them that they're cutting their family out of their fortune. Mart(h)a watches the man they were closest to kill themselves in front of them. And for the entire movie Marta believes the narrative Ransom spins: that she killed Harlan. And for the entire movie Martha believes in the Harlot Whore. Right up until the very end.

Red rabbits win! And Cleo's first win I'm so happy for them
