love when people who read rus lit call the characters by the endearing nicknames, like yeah thats your pal rodya right there

If you start reading books again, you’ll feel at least a little better. I promise.

the romantics had lord byron. you have me writing enemies-to-lovers fanfic in a google doc at 3am

my characters have banter in my head but when i type it out they sound like two robots negotiating a hostage exchange

me rereading my own romance writing: “why did i write this like a victorian man who’s never seen a woman before”

i crave to write a murder mystery in which the true villain is the fog itself

do you ever open your draft to edit, stare at it for a second and... nothing. you know what you want to write and you have ideas for how to fix what's there, but when faced with the actual draft you're just paralyzed, as if by editing it you'll ruin it.........yeah me too

film adaptation of crime and punishment but the main plotline is the romance with dunya and razkumikhin and all the regular events happen in the background. so it’s like this cute period romcom with dunya and that goofy friend who’s been taking care of her sick brother. there’s shots where they’re walking romantically along the river together and falling in love but raskolnikov is on the other side delivering a monologue about whether he should throw himself off. the two of them are slowly realizing there’s something really wrong with him but nothing central to the plot happens onscreen. do you see my vision
