Hello!!! I’m an author. My current project is the eternal summer trilogy that centers around an MM romance between the bassists of two emo bands that takes place in the early 2000s. My series is 18+ so keep that in mind if you’re interested.

number one rule! never believe ur thoughts after 10 pm . unless its about The Character then believe all of your thoughts wholeheartedly
some people really do need to start reminding themselves that the answer to "why didn't the character just do [something entirely different]" is often simply "because then there wouldn't be a story"
how it feels to be obsessed with your own ocs but you cant think of what to say about them
My OCs

much appreciation for people who create ocs that are clearly derivative of The Character because even if the inspiration is clear, they had the self awareness that their headcanons had snowballed so far past character analysis into pure self indulgence that there was very little of source material left. and that’s beautiful. sometimes when you’re preoccupied playing touys it’s hard to take a step back and realize you’ve actually created something wonderful and new
shoutout to characters who are simultaneously selfish and selfless shoutout to characters who are simultaneously optimistic and pessimistic and especially shoutout to when those traits dont even conflict each other but exist side by side
"Always the bridesmaid, never the bride" but in a creative context where you’ve known successful creatives but you never seem to find successful yourself even though you’re trying so hard
the author’s thinly veiled nothing #notwriting #straightupnotwritingit

It doesn't matter if you wrote 5,000 or 50 words today.
It doesn't matter if all you did was day-dream about your characters while staring at the ceiling.
You are still a writer and your progress is valid.
one person's "ugghh this trope is so overdone" is another person's "oooooohohohohohohohoho"
