Cannot Stress Enough how important it is to read Howl’s Moving Castle written by Diana Wynn Jones immediately after watching Howl’s Moving Castle directed by Hayao Miyazaki. When he made the movie he was of course upset with war and thus included it in the film, but you gotta understand. You really Gotta Understand. Every time in the movie where Howl turns the door dial black to travel to an absolutely hellish warscape? You know where that same dial takes him in the book? The Real World Country Of Wales

#it is my fav book #my copy is so beat up #i hope one day to have a pretty copy #hcrambles #not writing related #its a fantastic twist on literature however #how something can be retold and have the same vibes but diffirent courses #like when people bake a cake and they are a bit diffirent #arts kinda like that #and howls moving castle is a perfect example of this

HELLO FRIENDS HOLIDAY CHAOS IS OVER!

Or - at the very least- as over as it is going to be. There will still be stress and such but i think the storm has passed. I can poke my little nose out of my burrow and start taking a collective look about and branch back into creating.

I have some very exciting news- well. Exciting for me personally. I bought a computer !

For about a year or more now ive been computer-less and writing everything and anything on my phone(like the hobgoblin I am). So formatting and beauty was not something i could see or do for any of my Computer based peeps. I just wrote. I used to write on my old computer- but when it began to get buggy too I migrated to my phone. Then that computer - well…

It kinda imploded.

SO! I made the big decision to invest and bought the little laptop of my dreams. Ive wanted a Mac computer since I was 12 (those old blue desktop ones were SO COOL!)

Im learning the ropes still with it (i legit just got it out of the box two days ago) and feeling it out. I have to get all my apps onto it that I use for writing and then

THEN I CAN LET LOOSE THE FLOOD GATES. I HAVE THINGS RATTLING IN MY SKULL. IDEAS FOR LITTLE FICS, CONTINUING MY FIC, BRANCHING INTO OTHER CONTENT AND FANBASES AND FINALLY. F I N A L L Y. Getting the hardcore draft of my first novel set up. Big plans for 2024. Im ready and excited and i cant wait. This year imma grab it and make it mine!

#long post #sorry loves #hcwrites #writing stuff #personal things #but long story short #I GOT MY LAPTOP #THE THING IVE WANTED FOR LIKE MY WHOLE LIFE AND THE BRAND I WANT #SOMETHING THAT WONT EXPLODE ON ME #OR ALWAYS POP UP LIKE WINDOWS ADVERTS #IM SO EXCITED.#Its like buying a car omg im budgetting it out and im on a plan to pay it but I DID IT #I GOT SOMETHING RELIABLE #now #i can write #and not have my hands cramp #god #god i miss writing

SOON HOLIDAY WILL BE OVER AND I CAN RETURN TO WHAT I LOVE

I have so many ideas that have been drumming in my skull but, Alas, the Holiday Season takes all the time from me ans i just have to look at all the prompts I have and go—

#hcwrites #writing stuff #personal things #god i miss writing #its like my venting space and helps pull my head clear of all the stress #it is wonderful and gosh darn I wish I could drink up all the writing time and spit it out. ugh #working long hours is killer on the inspiration man

I PROMISE IM NOT DEAD. WORK HAS STOLEN MY WILL TO CREATE (another year of no NaNoWirMo 😔- I will have to do the camp in the summer) and my ability to string more then a smattering of words together.

Im surviving off of candy, chips and the BG3 fantasy land i fall into at the end of the day (i just keep replaying the same areas with new characters lol)

Im both devouring and being devoured.

#hcwrites #personal things #personal update #not writing stuff #damn i cant even do nano work is too demanding this year.#🥺 I was prepped too #its how it is #if i tired now it would come out terrible and lopsided #there is light at the end of the tunnel.#soon #soon less worry. less stress

Just here to take some news and to say that I hope you're still alright. You're such a good writer, I will wait for more of your stories. (Take your time and take care of yourself 😘). Your stories -the yandere ones more- are a safe place to me. And when I'm low, I just like to read them again to feel better, and it works. Love you 😘Have a wonderful night/day🌝

Thank you thank you thank you sweet anon. This warmed my heart. I am just in the throws of work and holiday prep.

;-; i am sorry ive been absent from writing stories. It has been so intense at work that I can barely snatch any time to prep for NaNoWirMo. I am doing well - just swamped is all. I will write again i just am needed in so many other things. It is a lot at times. But im OK! I will just be quiet for a time because work.

Thank you 💜🥺

WHERE ARE U 😭😭😭 ARE U ALRIGHT??? U AND UR ART MISS ME 😭

HELLO LITTLE ANON IM SO SORRY IVE BEEN SO QUIET. IM OK I PROMISE — 💜💜💜💜💜

Tis the season in retail called holiday. Its the time of year where stress comes to call and October usually means one thing: Stress.

Im so sorry i fell off the face of the earth i did not mean to-I know i went to writing something once a week and suddenly POOF! I was gone. Well thats when the holiday madness hit hard.

When stress gets this bad i usually read and try to destress so I dont mess up my mental health. My free time has been spent getting lost in BG3 or reading. Ive been wanting to write but the stress makes my brain spin to fast to put words onto paper.

Dont worry! I will keep writing- just need to wait this one out (omg its nanowirmo next month)

TLDR - Working retail during holiday kills the creative bug in my brain.

#hcwrites #writing stuff #personal things #im so sorry yall #i know yall came for the fics and how fast i popped them out #i have been trying to write but the stress of work is so great rn #creating anything when its this stressful is foolish.#it just makes all my brain scream because it cant keep a straight thought in my head.

HAVE A WIP

I have been writing this week. Its just been charting chapters and getting a core theme of my book set in cement for NaNoWirMo. No writings for others this week but have a wip of my own JTTW spin! Reluctant Pilgrim is posted on my Ao3 (since its just my own personal fic i decided to just post it there) and its my take on “what if the pilgrims had a women travel with them?”.

Probably start writing for fanfics other then my own next week or the following. I have a secret stash on a side blog that i throw all the things that spark my brain- and i have to flip through them to see what i want to do next.

Theres protective Wukong over pregnant Willow from Journey to the Au that i want to write. Then theres Semis Lion Den Au and THAT has been itching my brain.

Also I promised Sophie i would write something happy for her after the HELL i put her through with Macaque (bad man stinky man). I just have to pick which one to work on first.

#hcwrites #writing stuff #personal things #writing wip #jttw au #my own fanfic work!#jttw tag #jttw fanfic #thinking about what fanfic i want to do next is hard #im very tempted to do lion den au #but also theres the very overprotective Wukong eith pregnant willow i wanna touch on #then i do owe Sophie from JTTW Monkeybuisness a happy story aftet the hell i wrote her in #🤔 gotta think on this one man #TUMBLR ATE WHAT I HAD WRITTEN BEFORE HOW DARE #I EAT TUMBLR FOR EATING MY TEXTS

You are allowed to ramble and cry and be respectful. I would love to hear your fav bits, what you loved about such and such thing, and so forth. I read tags in reblogs. I read the notes. It encourages and makes me all a titter in beating the bad brain storms that go “naw you could’ve done better” So. Pls. 😌 feel free to love on them in rambles.

Your writing is absolutely amazing! Do you have any tips you could share?

THANK YOU !!

And oh dear. Mmm. Tips — well. My biggest one would be very simple - its one that I live with every day.

Read books.

All the books. Consume stories like they were water and food. Listen to audiobooks to get a feel of flow and tempo. Read mysteries and thrillers, horrors and romances, fiction and sci fi, fantasy and young adult. Read outside your comfort zone. Manga and light novels, comics and mythologies ! Any book will make you better at writing. At crafting a story.

If you read you will begin to find your own rhythm. You will see all the other rhythms and voices and how, though two may be similar, none are the same.

Storytelling is a fluid art. It comes in many media forms and whichever one you wish to master- sink yourself into it and consume its relative media. Wanna be a comic book artist? Read comics.

You learn by proximity. By consumption. If you cant find a teacher weeeeell …

Books are the best ones.

#hcwrites #writing stuff #personal things #aks #i wish i had more tips #but i truly dont #i feel when i write #i can correct myself at times when i feel a sentence go off the course #but even i am fallible and am still learning myself. i will forever be trying to get better then i am today #but my best tip is to devour #consume whatever makes you passionate and reap the rewards.#cultivate yer creativity in a sense.#sorry i wish i had REAL logical advice. but i do not #i am just a retail worker with passion for paper.#💜💜

Peach Flesh @jttw-monkeybusiness fic

Art by @jttw-monkeybusiness - characters by @jttw-monkeybusiness

TRIGGER WARNING. TRIGGER WARNING. THIS FIC IS 18+ THERE WILL BE GORE AND BLOOD, VIOLENCE AND SEX IN THIS. NON CON ELEMENTS TOO. PLS IF THIS TRIGGERS YOU READ ANY OF MY OTHER ITEMS. YOU HAVE BEEN FORWARNED.

Welcome to my fic! This is like a Filler between Kiris Wonderous comics of the Six eared monster and Wukongs eventual slaying of him. I had @celestialkiri help and brain to pick over as I asked them a slew of questions. They also proof read for me so I made sure i got their boy just right.

ALSO THIS IS A BAD MAN. A BAD MONKEY. I HAVE MAH SPRAY BOTTLE READY-HE WILL EAT YOU IN THE “DEAD FOREVER” KIND OF WAY.

(Though I may accidentally have tripped you all up with this one my bad friends.)

I am also just posting it to Ao3 so the tags can def warn people TWICE about whats in the fic.

ANYWAY ENJOY THE STINKY MAN HIMSELF. (Im sorry sophie i will write you happy i promise)
