hi apologies for the reblog bait but i was wondering if people would be able to rb this and put in the tags your favourite queer book or movie? i'm fine with any genre and any age group (from picture books to autobiographies to coming-of-age comedies to body horror)! i'm doing monthly queer reading lists for my local library, and i have a lot of ideas already, but want to make sure i'm including plenty of things outside of my usual scope!

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started

listen to me. this is my final message to you. when you are at your lowest a fictional guy will come to you and when that happens you must start putting them in situations. this is the meaning of life.

like i quite literally have never been more passionate about anything than i am about the human race’s invariable desire to tell stories and the fact that we always find a way to do it, through spoken language and written language and body language and visual art and theater and poetry and oral tradition and a million other things. there are so many things we take for granted about the human experience that we never stop to think about but i really want you to take a step back and consider how fucking amazing it is that our need to tell stories transcends all boundaries of time and geography and borders and language. it is one of very few things that is legitimately intrinsic to human nature and i will never stop being completely in awe of humanity for that.

making stuff is one of the best parts of being alive

Look I think it is commendable to write a book. That takes work no matter what. But man are there some bad ones out there.

sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though

yknow one word I’m sad didn’t stay strong in modern English is boc/bec. the plural of book should still be betch
