if you can't be unafraid, be afraid and happy.

Real thing that changed how i write: I started asking "what does this character think is wrong with them" and separately "what is actually wrong with them." Those two things are almost never the same. She thinks she's too much. She's actually terrified of being too little. He thinks he's bad at commitment. He's actually just never met someone he trusted enough. The gap between their diagnosis of themselves and the real thing, that's your character arc right there. you don't have to explain it. just write both.

ocd will have me thinking i cant text "here now if you wanna head over" because i sound like blowjob mario with a walkie talkie

companies only wanting palatable and censored queer content for their partnerships is so depressing. bitch you could have had dan and phil.

shane hollander voice: i mean obviously i have to be Good. and it's totally no problem to walk through the desert for a hundred miles repenting, i'm great at that. my body isn't even a soft animal and it doesn't love or want anything and never will.
