rip to c. s. lewis, you would’ve hated ai

every day i wake up and praise the transmasc homo habilis who first informed women that we could have sex with each other 2.4 million years ago

it's normal and actually good for your health to see yourself in the most guilt ridden character you've ever seen in your life

top tier character trait will always be “I care about you deeply, even though I betrayed you. even though I would do it again” I don’t make the rules

it’s crazy how the same day that Kip hands Scott divorce papers 3 people go missing along the Hudson River

bilf (book i'd like to finish)

in my mind and heart hank and clementine have a very nancy and sluggo dynamic.

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.

"Women hate me because I'm fat and balding" you know how many real life women I've met who desperately want Tony Soprano? Women don't like you because you somehow have a worse personality than Tony Soprano.

skipdivorce is fun to me bc I have no stake in scott and kip as characters. if shane and ilya got divorced I would kill myself
