things I have finished today: - planning my summer employment - a triathlon - an essay that’s been driving me nuts for two weeks honestly I think these are commendable achievements for a warm April Friday
four of the five assignments done and another one for another class also out of the way. I’m gonna go read a book and try not to think about the fact that I’m doing part of a triathlon tomorrow 😅
you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.
The most fun part of a lovers-to-enemies arc is writing the blissful romance stage and cackling to yourself bc you know you're about to burn it all down 👀
english majors trying to hype themselves up for finals season knowing they are about to write two full length novels worth of essays
Hi guys! I’m not dead! Just have a head cold and five assignments due in the next two days for an intro level class 🫠 (in this professor’s defense she’s a visiting prof so she doesn’t know how things work around here, but still. five. assignments.) wish me luck (I need it)
Apparently Black Sails has appeared on Netflix… brb while I do some research watching and continue avoiding the paper I should be writing rn
Honestly? The pacing. Pirate WIP is a slow book by design—the action doesn’t hit all at once in the first two chapters, it takes a bit of set up and requires established “normalcy” to have the right impact. I worry today’s impatient readers will put it down before getting there!

Remember this story? I had to shelve it because it got too long and replaced it with an idea of more reasonable length 🫠 ah, the joys of writing. #amwriting

sometimes I see tags on this account that make me laugh and other times I see tags that make me side eye my own characters and go “this would totally be about you if my book was published” and this is one of those

Y’all I just checked my draft and apparently I wrote 3500 words yesterday?? it felt like I wrote nothing because I spread my writing out over the course of the day. what the heck? can every writing day be like this from now on?? #amwriting
the best part about writing genre fiction is making up completely improbable apocalypse settings that exist based on vibes and probable science only #amwriting
Working on one of my final projects for a lit class rn and the horrid NY weather has inspired me to write a setting where it rains all the time. And no, I’m not ripping off Ray Bradbury, shh. #amwriting
What was the last line of dialogue you wrote? “I don’t appreciate you speaking to me like I’m one of your crew. While I appreciate that I’m at your mercy currently, I am still your equal in status and deserve to be treated as such.” get him, Lior 😂

@hankgreen One of us lives through cancer; the other lives through a press junket. Both laudable, if not quite equivalent, successes.
I think as long as the *core of the story doesn’t change, 4 months ago, unagented me would’ve been honored if they loved my pitch enough to put in all that work with me. Sometimes you need someone else’s perspective to develop a plot into its full potential.
Is it a disappointment if an agent wants your story but requires a major (I mean major) rewrite or is that something you as a writer would be okay with?

The weirdest thing about writing fanfiction vs original stories is that people are so much nicer and more supportive when you’re writing a 10k fic with sporadic updates vs a completed novel that costs money. I don’t know why. It’s strange and not intuitive.
