#live ficcing

idk when this became a problem of mine, but none of my characters wanna like...do anything anymore. they're like i'm gonna feel and emote and get lost in my own head for paragraphs upon paragraphs and like whatever that's fine i guess, but also were you guys planning on saying any words? going anywhere? doing anything? this whole story can't take place in your fuCKING MINDSCAPE, SIR

rest assured that even if i'm 33k into a story, every single sentence i'm not completely satisfied with is still haunting me from forty pages back

i love that when we want bobby to have a bad family we give him parents and when we want him to have a good family we give him lola

sometimes you’re normal and other times you create an entire universe about your favorite show’s teenage main character’s parents and that’s something you just have to learn to love about yourself 

my writing process is 78% me just using thesaurus.com to find synonyms for “gentle” and “warm” and “affectionate” and “soothing” and etc. what can i say i’m dumb, full of love, and don’t know that many words

don’t ever let anyone tell you that thesaurus.com isn’t the backbone of society

writing fights? fun. exciting. sexy. writing the inevitable apology and make up? boring. excruciating. the least sexy thing you could ever imagine.
