Dreamy
Iām confused. I swear to god I was just on a boat drifting to that viciously green tropical island and the sun was making my cheeks burn. And the water! Ā Water so clear I could see fish the size of my nails blissfully chasing each other in groups, like little kids playing team sports at school. The shaky turquoise surface reflecting my sweaty face and the ocean breeze was cooling me down just enough.
Honestly, I loved it so much! I wanna go back!
Nevertheless, I decided to look around. Who knows maybe the place I suddenly teleported to, as one does, might be even better. Ah, there were trees, and not some ordinary trees for that matter. They were the size of skyscrapers, if not bigger. Another possibility was just me shrinking like Alice in the Wonderland. I wonder if people lived there. It would be a very cosy place to inhabit if you ask me.
I imagined round, spacious rooms, to which the sun was stretching its rays, peeking through uneven holes, serving for windows. In the middle, an endless spiral staircase, soaring all the way to the sky. All of this kept in brown and beige undertones, contrasting with the dark green of the conifer needles. Very cosy.
Actually imagining it made me want a warm cup of hot chocolate, with marshmallows melting on top, so I started moving again, hoping I would find a coffee shop or at least a gas station. There was a path, wide enough to fit a car, curving upwards slightly. I decided following it was a reasonable decision.
20 minutes have passed and I was starting to miss the island I never got to. I donāt even care if there was a beast ready to eat me alive at the coast. At least there would be some action. I was walking and walking and the landscape did not change one bit. I looked over my shoulder to see if I didnāt miss any side paths and to my surprise, I saw a silhouette. I started running towards it and soon realised it was indeed another person. Excitement rippled through my chest and I waved to him smiling.
āAlright, so I am a normal size I guessā I mumbled to myself. I saw the look on his face. He definitely heard it and now thinks Iām crazy.
āNo I mean I just shrink sometimesā I tried to explain myself, obviously making it worse. I wonder what it feels like to have social skills.
āYeah I have no idea what youāre talking about, but you should be careful, you know. Donāt you think running up to a stranger in a forest is a bit wild?ā
āWell, you look friendlyā I smiled. I wasnāt lying, his eyes looked tired, the outer corners going slightly downwards. But they were definitely the eyes of a kind person, a beautiful dark brown shade, with the sunshine subtly highlighting one of them.
āI like your Medusa hairā I said, twirling my own hair between my fingers.
āWho the fuck is Medusa. Or is it a hairstyle?ā that made me let out a chuckle, imagine going to the hair salon asking for a Medusa cut.
āYou know, the creature from Greek mythology that has little snakes instead of actual hair and itās a pretty badass characterā
āSnakes? I take offence to that. And youāre a weirdoā he said, walking away. I didnāt want him to go. One reason was that I was just so tired of walking with no aim, another⦠he was interesting, I wanted to get to know him more.
āWait! Itās a compliment! I love Greek mythology! Iāve associated you with something good!ā
āPretty sure you said that Medusa is a villainā
āOh come on, sheās a cool character, and I usually donāt even like villains. There you go, even more of a compliment. Now, you called me a weirdo, so let me entertain you, cause trust me, thereās nothing where youāre headingā I grabbed his wrist in an impulse. His skin was amazingly soft and suddenly I felt an urge to slide my hand into his, but also reminded myself we met a minute ago, just as quick.
āYou talk too much, but I guess Iāll stayā he shrugged.
The thin braids were dangling from his head to the rhythm of our steps. He had this energy that made him unintentionally adorable. I didnāt want to fully trust my instinct yet, since my first impressions usually tend to be wrong. One thing I was sure of is he intrigued me like no one has in a long time. Then I realised I donāt even know the most basic and essential information about him. And no, Iām not talking about his birth chart.
āSorry I forgot to ask. Whatās your name?ā I turned my head to him.
āAh itāsā¦
The annoying high pitched sound of my alarm was drilling its way inside my brain. I looked at my phone. It was 8 am and I was in my boring bed, not ready to get up at all. I covered my face with a blanket and clenched my eyelids as hard as I could, blindly hoping I could return to the dream. As the good old reality has disappointed me again I felt more frustrated than usual. What was the meaning of this dream? Who was that person and why do I remember him so vividly? I was sure I never saw him in real life, I would have noticed him if I did. Was he just a made up construction of my subconscious? I can surely tell that no guy in real life has ever stroke my interest as much. So was he just the man of my dreams? In quite a literal way too. I threw my pillow against the wall, frustrated. Even if I did fall asleep now, what are the chances of dreaming about the same thing? Or even remembering the dream? I needed to shake off the post-dream confusion and get back to life. Letting out a sigh, I sat up.
āLetās get ready for the challenges of the day!ā I said, ironically impersonating motivational speakers.
okay uhmĀ the fact that this blog has literally zero followers is a little depressing so if you miraculously come across this post feel free to follow and talk to me!!!

Symbols for Writing Use
When Iām writing, I always feel stressed when Iām trying to put symbolism in one of my stores. I never know if Iām doing it right, and I never know which objects to give meaning. Any object can be a symbol, but hereāsĀ a big ol list of some classic symbols to use in literature if you ever get stuck:
Animals
Dove - Peace Lion - Courage/Strength Bird - Freedom Raven - Trickster Crow - Bad Omens, but Can Be Sacred in Some Cultures Bat - Guardian of Night, Illusion Spider - Creativity, Intelligence Wolf/Fox - Loyalty, Intelligence, Playfulness Cat - Balance, Independence, Curiosity Horse - Determination Deer (Doe) - Innocence, Grace Butterfly - Transformation, Rebirth Swan - Divinity, Power of Self Panda - Gentle Strength, Luck Rabbit - Fear, Caution, Fertility
Weather
Rain - Not Sadness, New Opportunity, Cover of Darkness (shelter)
Snow - Cleansing
Storming - Conflicted Emotions, Anger
Fire Storm (Forest Fire, Volcanoes) - Earthly (nonhuman) anger, aggressive renewal, danger
Silver Lining of Clouds - Hope
Smoke - Desperation, Calm Before the Storm
Objects
I meant what I said when I said that symbolism can be tacked on to any object, but here are the most classic
Generational Weapons (ex. a fatherās gun passed to a daughter) - Wisdom from pain, chance for forgiveness of donor
Glass - Fragile Order
Tree - Quiet Wisdom
Eyeglasses - Intelligence, Societal Order
Lockets/Family Heirlooms - Belonging, Familial Bonds, Vitality
Book/Pen/Pencil - Lasting Intelligence
Mask (dependent on context) - Cover of Secrecy, Safety in Anonymity
Animal Souvenirs (ex. boarās headĀ on stake) - Defiance Against Nature
Colors
Red - Passion, Impulsivity, Anger
Orange - Happiness, Enthusiasm
Yellow - Joy, Innocence, Peace
Green - Growth, Harmony
Blue - Stability, Loyalty, Intelligence
Purple - Royalty, New Strength and Leadership
Black - Mystery, Death, Quiet Solitude
White - Divinity, Cruel Strength, Lack of Empathy
How to Use Them
1. Be sure that the symbols are recurrent. The most effective way to let your reader know that this is, in fact, a symbol is to constantly remind them that your symbol is present
2. Use as directed.Ā If a scene doesnāt require the use of a certain symbol, thenĀ donāt add it. For example, donāt insert characters who are about to be cleansed from their past and be reborn into better people in a scene set with a stormy atmosphere.
3. Explain, but donāt hold hands. Once the reader is clear that a symbol has been laid out and is present in your story, be sure that they understand exactly what the symbol is there to do. Of course, leave much of it up to interpretation, but donāt have its use be so loose that itās difficult to pinpoint.
I hope this helped, and to anyone who might use this, good luck, happy writing!

The five types of writers block
Inspirationless: where you have the motivation but just can't think of anything good to write.
Motivation Deprived: you have the idea, but just, don't really wanna.
Pooped: Basically you have no ideas and don't really feel like writing anyways.
Procrastination: Where you are SO PUMPED TO GET THIS THING DONE!! But, there's that other thing, and, your show is on, and, you'll just do it tomorrow.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
The other day, I wondered how the world of Harry Potter would be different if all students were sorted every year, rather than only in their first. So I wrote this.
Little is changed from Harry Potterās first year at Hogwarts. Still he sits under that hat, thinking, not Slytherin; still the Hat considers his potential before sending him to Gryffindor. Still he is joined in Gryffindor by Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, still the Slytherin he so feared to be in will hold Draco Malfoy. Little is different about the placement of the older students, for all the Sorting Ceremony is made longer, and the Hatās song a little changed, with their participation. Fred and George Weasley, like their younger brother, are still in Gryffindor. Ambitious Percy Weasley may be in Slytherin by now, maybe not yet, but he is a Prefect regardless. Oliver Wood or someone like him will still be Harryās first Quidditch Captain.
In Harryās second year, he and Ron are in more trouble than ever for missing the Sorting Ceremony. Now the Hat must be got out again to Sort these two boys who have caused such a stir, to confirm what surprises no one: both will remain in Gryffindor this year. (This time, Harry is once again thinking his wishes to the Hat, but instead of not Slytherin, he is pleading, Gryffindor, Gryffindor ā picturing the warm Gryffindor common room that is the first home he has ever known, the first place that has welcomed him rather than shut him away. The hat, once again, obeys his wishes.) Both boys are relieved to find their House much the same as they left it; Hermione Granger is in their midst again, joined by Ronās shy little sister Ginny.
Neville Longbottom, who had been plagued throughout his first year in Gryffindor by doubt as to his right to be there, is with them again, too. They missed his silent drama at the Ceremony, too, as the boy sat under the Hat that could see into his mind and reflected on the end of term. He had remembered standing up to the three classmates he thought he could call his friends, only to be left behind ā hexed, as he so often was, ridiculed. More proof that he did not belong in the brave House. But he remembered, too, Dumbledoreās voice at the end-of-year feast ā praising him for doing what was hard. He remembered being awarded House points for this simple act, and with the meagre sum, winning Gryffindor the House Cup. That heady feeling of being, for just one moment, a celebrated hero ā that was like nothing else. That was worth a year and more of self-doubt. So Neville now unpacked his bags in the Gryffindor dormitories again, and, like Harry, he felt for the first time that he was home.
Harry has grown complacent, all his friends staying with him from his first year to his second. He hears the warnings of the older students on his Quidditch team (some of whom go from one Houseās team to the next from year to year), the reminders that he will need to make new friends soon, but he does not really believe them. He cannot imagine his world changing even more than it has.
This is why he feels as though his stomach has dropped out of his body, as though he has fallen into some bottomless pit, when things change in his third year. He is still in Gryffindor, yes, and still with Ron, thank goodness for that, but Hermione Granger is no longer of their House. Hermione, who spent the last term of her second year as a statue, whose research was the only part of her that got to be a part of the battle in the Chamber of Secrets, who scrambled and sweated when she was unpetrified to pass all her courses in the remaining days of term ā despite the promises of the administration that classes missed by the basiliskās victims would not be held against their grades. Hermione, who had been called an āinsufferable know-it-allā so many times that it had almost stopped hurting, who had felt so frustrated with the cavalier attitude her fellow Gryffindors took to classwork. She was now a Ravenclaw, the blue insignia on her robes matching that of Ginny Weasley, who seemed to have shrunk in on herself after the events of last term. (Ginny, like Harry in his first year, sat under the Hat in her second year thinking not Slytherin, not Slytherin, but then she had paused, and thought, not Gryffindor, too, because Riddle had possessed her despite her red-and-gold robes, and because she did not feel brave.)
Ginny, Hermione, and Luna Lovegood (here is one girl the Hat cannot imagine placing anywhere but Ravenclaw, though it will surprise itself in years to come) soon find each other in the Ravenclaw common room, and form an odd, but tight, bond over the first few weeks of term. Hermione finds that it is nice to have close friends who are girls; she never had this in her two years in Gryffindor. She still finds time to talk to Harry, to help him with an essay in the library or to keep him company on restless Hogsmeade weekends or to walk with him to Hagridās hut. They are still friends, and good ones; no disparity of House can change the bond forged in fighting a mountain troll together, and all they have been through together since.
She explains this, at last, to Ron Weasley in the days before Christmas vacation, when the dark looks he has been sending her all term finally come to a head in a shouting match outside the Divination tower. Ron, too quick to view matters in black and white, had seen her Ravenclaw badge as a betrayal, a defection. Had imagined that this was her choice, rather than the honest assessment of the Hat. Had felt left behind, discarded, second-rate, dismissed like his brothersā hand-me-down robes that he wore. With Harry to remind him not to be an ass, to remind Hermione that Ron was always like this, they made up soon enough. Hermione laughed and called Ron an idiot, but fondly; and he laughed back, and told her that the blue and silver only made her look more the nerd. The trio were reunited, even if they were in different houses.
And, after that fight at least, perhaps the difference of house was a blessing in disguise. Crookshanks could not worry at Ronās rat when they lived in different common rooms. There was no fight between Ron and Hermione about their pets; when Scabbers went missing, there was no talk of foul play, only an agreement between the three friends that they would try to find him. The three were still present in the Shrieking Shack, two Gryffindor children and one Ravenclaw, to bear witness to the true identity of Scabbers, to bear witness to the reunion of the three living Marauders. They still saved Buckbeak; they still lost Pettigrew.

Things saved in my writing inspiration folder [1/?]
I think one of the most amazing and incredible things I have learnt about writing is how much you arenāt in control. Yes, you are the one physically writing, but I never realised how much the story decides to tell itself. I never really understood authors when they saidĀ āthe characters didnāt do what I wanted them toā or thatĀ āthe plot ran away from meā. I get that now. Itās alive and ever changing and doesnāt always work the way you think it will and itās a beautiful process of discovery.

Here is a masterpost of some sort with transition words + key vocabs grouped together for easy access as well as an IB IOC ācheat sheetā I used for my english LAL orals last year (though most commentaries follow a similar structure so its generalisable) ~
Good luck with your essays !!!

Quite a few people requested some form of trait/personality generator, and hereās the result! Ā I wanted to keep it vague enough that the options could work for any universe, be it modern, fantasy, scifi, or anything else, so these are really just the basics. Remember that a character is much more than a list of traits, and this should only be used as a starting pointā I tried to include a variety of things, but further development is definitely a must.
Could pair well with the gender and sexuality generator.
To Play: Click and drag each gif, or if that isnāt working/youāre on mobile, just take a screenshot of the whole thing (multiple screenshots may be required if you want more than one trait from each category).
