If you're a new writer and you're asking yourself "is this too personal, is this too much, will people think this is weird" that feeling is the exact location of your actual voice. The stuff that makes you want to close the laptop is the stuff nobody else could write. The safe version is always worse. Always. I have never once read something and thought "this would have been better if it was a little less honest." go further. It's always go further.

That’s illegal.” lmao because yeah. It is. Weird how a lot of discourse on this subject acts like this is not a factor.

Romance writers will ask "is anyone going to seriously injure this character so that their love interest can realize the true depth of their feelings for them" and then not wait for an answer.

i do think we should normalise being like. platonically enamoured with someone. perhaps i love and admire you dearly and there's nothing romantic about it
