Write a story that just takes place inside one pathetic little person’s head. Do it. It’s enrichment in your enclosure.

Do the writer’s equivalent of playing with finger paints. Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it

It’s the middle of the night and I should be sleeping but listen. Listen. Just get weird with it. Open your soul up a little bit. Like actually don’t worry about it being palatable. I’m serious. Get weirder. Get weirder right now. I’m demanding that you get weirder right now. It’s not your responsibility to make your reader feel good. It’s your job to make art, goddamnit. Make art. Make weird art. Open up your third eye and eat an entire cheesecake.

6th grade truly is the best grade of all to teach because they're young enough to be unabashedly enthusiastic about things but also old enough to get really fucking weird about it. i had a 6th grader request his latin name be "atreus" (not a name on the list i gave them) and when i explained to the class that atreus's family had been cursed for generations and that atreus killed his nephews and fed them to his brother, they all started shouting that they wanted to have a name like that one

"Young enough to be unabashedly enthusiastic about things but also old enough to get really fucking weird about it" is like my permanent age.

I'm not a socially awkward introvert. I'm a socially awkward extrovert. I am perfectly capable of carrying a conversation, but I'll carry it like a seagull carries a french fry. Snatching it from your fingers and flying off faster than you can process, and then taking it somewhere weird.

part of what makes tragedies tragic is the story being preventable from the outside but unpreventable from the inside

If they had done things differently they could have been happy, but to do things differently would require them to be someone else.
