I still can’t wrap my mind around the idea that someone would put my blog on alerts??? like??? someone wants to know when I make a post???? someone?? is??? interested???? WHOAA????

oh wow thank you so much!! holy jesus!!

tbh i dont think im the right person to ask but I think my main sentiment about art is to create what you want, and not what others want. I do photography and paint and occasionally some digital art & well, i just draw and take pictures of whatever the fuck i want basically. Don’t force yourself to draw something everyday if you can’t do it. I know some people are like ‘draw everyday so u can improve!’ I mean I guess that works but like, there’s no feeling of fulfillment, there’s no motivation in there, no inspiration. It’s about how you feel when you draw. Yeah sure you have to push yourself to learn, but there’s always time to learn, u r not obligated to draw every single day. get fired up!! I almost only draw when I’m inspired like, if there’s a new cool song, or a pretty movie that just fires up something in me, you know? whether i saw a dog at the park, went to starbucks, woke up late, watch zayn’s videos all day, i draw about it because it inspired me (somehow idk haha)

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?

unfortunately i haven’t been reading quite as much as i should be because i’m mostly restricting myself to a document of my own writing so i don’t really “grow” as a writer except for what i discover myself.

however, one recent development i do have is present-tense use. i don’t remember who i first saw present-tense use from, but ever since adopting present-tense (since january), i have grown to really love it and use it almost exclusively. so that is an influence. so basically anyone that uses present-tense is one my influence list probably lol.

also ernest hemingway taught me to be concise. and poets taught me to not care about grammar (or at least use punctuation to my own rules). and someone taught me to use emdashes all too much. don’t know who.

but in general life, i am heavily influenced by my tumblr life partner @ambivia, just btw. idk, we just happened. 

S/T: have been answered here.

U: A pairing you might like to write for, but haven’t tried yet.

58. description of my best friend

she’s gonna hate me for saying this but the first thought that came to mind was: smol.  she’s tiny and asian and has a high pitched voice that she thinks is a lot more annoying than it actually is.  she sleeps even less than i do, has her shit together a lot more than i do, and has an intense love for boho fashion, her husbando tag, and any and every kind of potato chip.  she’s the kind of person you’d wanna keep around because the memories are just too great to forget
