It would be wayyyyyy too awkward to explain that yes, I wrote two gay men that go through extreme trauma together, but no, they aren’t official until the last third or so of the story (and all the little lore bits that I have to tell otherwise it would make sense).
reblog if you're a writer but would rather drink straight cyanide than show any of your family members your work

Me, in reference to a D&D character: He’s just a little guy!
Normal Person: That “little guy” could easily kill you. He’s not even that short
Me: Leave me and my little depressed tiefling alone!
happy Thursday the 20th
do you ever think of something when you’re trying to sleep and tell yourself “I can write it down in the morning”?
I have, and every time I do im just lying to myself again
I’m not crying, there’s onions
I am crying
no, i just hate writing sometimes
… dammit.
reblog if you’re a writer who feels guilt whenever they’re not writing and being productive, so I know I’m not the only one lol
Me, casually trying to sleep:
My brain: Heyyyyyyyyy
Me: Shut. The fuck. Up
Brain: Is the way [character] acts after [relevant plot point] considered [mental disorder/trauma response]?
Me: *Grabbing phone off desk to Google it* I hate you
This post is a joke
I can finally listen to my peers say “Merry Christmas” without feeling the urge to correct them, watch Christmas ads and listen to Christmas music without saying, “it’s still November, not yet.”
Tis(n’t) the season
to any readers or writers who see this, reblog with the weirdest line you’ve ever written or read (fanfic counts!). I’ll start: “‘Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw’”
When in doubt, stay away from the main story and think about what those other random OCs of yours can do, accidentally make an entire story for them, want to write it into its own book/series, and finally realize there’s no plot. The only reason you haven’t done anything else with them is because you don’t want to get rid of them. Writer issues.
Writer, Queer, Artist, they/he, MinorToo. Many. God. Damn. FandomsI post on Mondays (mostly)
