how the hell are you supposed to eat healthy and sleep eight hours and work and have a social life and go to the gym and keep in touch with friends and see family and engage in hobbies and write!! how !!

the only spooky thing in this house is all the stories I promised younger me I’d get around to finishing, only to find them now in a forgotten pile in the corner covered in spiderwebs

you can’t stop me from thinking about my characters decorating for Halloween and passing out candy to trick-or-treaters, or dressing up in silly half-assed costumes just because they can, or curling up and watching a movie because for just a minute we can pretend nothing bad ever happened to them and the only thing that’s scary is the movie

hey stop! that’s my emotional support comedy podcast! I need them!

having songs so heavily associated with a wip is always a joy ride because I’ll put a random playlist on shuffle then all of a sudden that one song plays and I’m hit with war-like flashbacks of my OCs

*flips a spoonful of those alphabet spaghettiOs at my computer* ok now BOOK!

I’m playing it so cool. no one in this mechanic shop knows I’m on ao3 right now. so cool so chill so casual.

favorite artist just released a new album. might mess around and give my characters some terrible trauma with a funky new tune playing in the background

I need fall to hit right now because maybe the seasonal vibe change will smack me hard enough that I start writing again

I haven’t written anything in eight months and then over the last two nights I’ve written almost 6k words. Never underestimate the power of an emotionally devastating tiktok edit

“I asked chatgpt to help write my story” no. writing should be done as god intended—in a caffeine fueled craze at 4am after hearing one (1) song that fit your mc

I always wonder what I was on in high school to be able to write so, so much, but the answer is really just an insane amount of caffeine

I’m almost five years older than the main character in my first wip when I first created her. She’s like a baby to me now. I don’t like how fast this time is moving what happened to my girl???
