every little girl dreams of being funny enough that her death will be noticed

this is normal and healthy for a girl and even a positive indicator of her development

I hate it, but you're right. I get too wrapped up in the failings of our society, I forget the good. So many ugly parts of the US feel too loud to see the lovely parts. I'm too cynical I guess. I miss having backyard barbecues with my family.

A non-writer asked me "but where do you get your ideas" and i genuinely did not know how to explain that it's not a place. it's not a website. it's not a folder. it's that i was on the bus and a woman was holding a paper bag very carefully and something about the way she held it made me need to know what was inside and then i needed to know why she was sad about it and then there was a whole person and then there was a whole story and the bus had already stopped and i missed my stop. that's where.

I like to think this is the story of him breaking out of prison and then going on an extended spree of mischief

snake bit me today (non-venomous) (i deserved it)

my favorite thing about crocodiles is yeah they're fantastic swimmers and yeah they can run pretty fast and yeah the smaller ones can even climb trees but also. they don't wanna do any of that shit. they just go no, no thanks. that's not for me. i think i'll just wait for someone to mistake me for a log and get too close. and then i'll eat them. many reptiles love this strategy but none pull it off like the humble croc

YOUR TELLING ME THEY USED GOD AS A BASKETBALL?

the spirit is willing but the flesh is so fucking out of it rn. actually the flesh would like to pack it up and leave. it's done with the horrors.

writing is just sitting in front of a computer and making up problems for imaginary people while ignoring your own. fun and casual hobby.

i would kill for the confidence of novelists who write genius-poet characters and then actually write samples of the “genius” poetry in the book. if i were a novelist writing a genius-poet i’d just be like “trust me, the poetry’s real good.”

The things I would do with the confidence of a writer who creates the worst poetry ever put to paper and declares it the work of a master poet

on this father's day to all the people with shitty dads im your dad now. we're having macaroni and cheese for dinner :] whats something youve been proud of lately champ

Wishing you a relaxed nervous system

why do men have this eternal fear of being used for money they don’t have lol

they should make it illegal to end your story with an epilogue where your main female character is suddenly randomly married and has children when she's never once expressed a desire for this previously
