make oc playlists. spend hours on moodboards that have no purpose. write self-indulgent fluff that’s never going to be published. scribble three lines of poetry in the back of your history notebook. draw fanart of your own characters. write stupid dialogue that your publishers might hate. start new wips that you might never finish but write those three chapters that make you happy because if you don’t write them, who else will?

writing shouldn’t always be about “will publishers like this” or “i have to reach this word count” or “how do i get the most likes”.

Even as years passed, they never lost eye contact. Even as a million things happened around them, they never stopped their longing expressions at one another. They knew they could never touch, never speak, and never truly connect with one another, but they loved each other nonetheless. Maybe it was a death wish. But it was only when the house was reduced to ashes that even part of them could be together.
