Unsettled (at) home.

The world can suffocate on you quicker than you notice the constricting walls of betrayal berated by expectancy and hope. Who reads what you got to say, I’m told— over and over, until the lips bleed and tongues flap ragged? It’s funny to be told that by the people who never read you and yet have the most to say about your work. They know your worth better than you know it; undermining your…

I’m a chapter a half to finishing writing this story, which means I can start on my Avatar/Freedom Fighter fic and AU fic. I’m so close! Once it’s fully written updates will be coming quickly and then my Avatar/Freedom Fighters/Smellershot Fics will be up and ready!

Inktober 2019 day 13. Chibi demon-Akira and dragon-lord-Ryuji.  From NaNoWriMo2018 fanfic AU “Place to Belong Beside”.  Doodled in Platinum Preppy fountain pen, with some white-out. (10/13/2019)

Realist: ugh a writer? Are you sure? That job is extremely competitive and unstable! You know, I think there’s a million gazillion books written already. And like, so many people already writes books. A lot of them don’t make the cut...

Me: perhaps, but no one has ever written my story.

Hi, how are you? I'm going to be honest, I have no idea if you've answered something like this before, but I hope you can help me nonetheless. Recently I've decided to take a break from the piece I've been working on for a year now (Continuously) because I can't bring myself to write it anymore. I have something else I want to write in the meantime, but the problem is- every time I open the editor, I hit a sudden blank. What is this and why is it happening? How can I cure this?

Hello there! I have quite a few resources on this that might help you:

These resource posts have a section on writer’s block that has a lot of good resources:

This is an ask I’ve answered previously on a topic very similar to yours that should help:

Falling Out Of Love With A Story You Want To Finish

My general advice on this is to not rush coming back to it. Don’t give up on it, because like most interests, we come back to them eventually, even if it takes a while. However, if you feel a desire to work on something else, do it, and you may build up the momentum to continue that other project while you’re at it. 

If you really want to continue right now, then take it one baby step at a time. Don’t torture yourself, because sometimes the timing isn’t right for us even when it has to be.

If you enjoy my blog and wish for it to continue being updated frequently and for me to continue putting my energy toward answering your questions, please consider Buying Me A Coffee or supporting me on Patreon.

I’d also really appreciate it if you would check out my separate blog dedicated to my current work in progress, as well as my studyblr, which helps keep me motivated as a full time student.

National Novel Writing Month Has Officially Begun!

Start writing your novel with NaNoWriMo today!

It’s here, writers––the moment you’ve all been waiting for. It’s time to buckle down and start writing those brilliant, magical, powerful stories that have been swirling around in your head.

Don’t forget to create your 2018 novel on the NaNoWriMo website. (Otherwise, you won’t be able to update your word count!) If you’re new to the site, or need a quick refresher on how NaNoWriMo works, here’s how.

You can challenge yourself or your writing buddies to a word sprint, chat with other Wrimos on our forums, or join a Virtual Write-In. If you want to make some in-person writing buddies, be sure to join a region and check out your local events calendar!

Let’s start writing, Wrimos!

Also, Hey, Anyone Doing Nanowrimo This Year?

Because I am!

I'm using it to shamelessly write what is essentially a treatment for another stupid Yondu fan-comic I'm planning on making in the near future. If you're participating too, add me! I need some writing buddies:    My very empty profile HERE.

I haven’t been super successful the past couple of years due to a mix of anxiety and being busy, but I feel really up to it this year. It feels like a good break for me in terms of my brain -- a bit of activity switching, you know? 

Anyhoosiers basically it's my excuse to write horrible people again. I'm dusting off my old writing tumblr that I only used like 5 times, and I'll be posting occasional snippets there bc why not: http://crispywrites.tumblr.com/ 

Feel free to follow if ya want, or link me to your writing blog!

Now have some stupid snips of test drawings of the story I made forever and a half ago: 

Happy Nano!

The NaNoWriMo page is up!

ok I sWEAR I am starting NaNoWriMo today!! With 6 days left to go!! Surely this is a wise decision!!⁣ ⁣ [cue distant shriek]⁣ ⁣ I did finish in 2 days last year but being super busy with my next book’s edits + bad mental health has made me sloooow down this year.😭My Slytherin overachieving soul is trying to be ok with this.😂⁣ ⁣ For anyone curious, I wrote #AThousandPerfectNotes in 10 days back in 2015 (it’s about 52K) and my second book (THE BOY WHO STEALS HOUSES) was actually written in NaNo 2016 and was 60K in 3 days. This year I’ve been averaging 12 days = 60,000. I outline intensely for quick, messy 1st drafts and then take longer for edits. Not everyone’s process, but it’s mine. (And yes I’m lucky to have full days to devote to writing!)🤗⁣

so we’ve hit that halfway point

This has no structure whatsoever because I started writing it late last night I'm sorry

Imagine going shopping with Ashton though? Not even clothes or idk, shoes or, uhm, instruments (even though it would be so mesmerizing to hear him talk about and discuss different drum skins and drum sticks and maybe even a guitar every now and then with the store employees) but groceries. Plain, simple, boring most of the time. Not with Ashton. He always did something to make the weekly trip down to the market and shops less boring.  Sometimes it was something silly like singing the shopping list back to you every time you asked him if there was anything else you needed, drumming a simple beat on the handle of the shopping cart to go with it or talking to you in a terrible (but funny) accent, pretending to be from a different country and commenting on all "ze strange sings sease Americans always do". It had you in stitches on the floor without a doubt. On other days he would whisper to you in an almost shakespearen way how you were as glowing as that gold vase on the shelf over there, or how your hair smelled as lovely as the fresh roses you had picked up earlier and that every colorful linen bed sheet was envious of the way your eyes were so soft and bright. It was odd at times but still charming and it made your heart flutter even when he compared the softness of your skin to a piece of butter with no better comparison available in the dairy isle.

He could be like a little child at times - picking up unhealthy amounts of candy and throwing them into the basket without you noticing, but that only happened every now and then, usually when he was very stressed out. It was a small sign for you to take care of him when you got home, running him a hot bath with candles around the tub, making his favourite meal and then cuddling up on the sofa under at least two blankets, your fingers gently carding through his curly, damp hair. Most times a portion of the snacks he had picked up in a fit would go home with you anyway and you'd munch on it while watching a silly movie

You especially loved the times where you were planning for the days ahead, discussing what to cook when and how your schedules would overlap the next week. You worked well together, like a team that had always existed like that, complimenting each other in more than one way. When he was looking for rice noodles and couldn't find them, you'd pick up three packets from the corner of the shelf and put them in the cart, when you were confused as to where they had moved the shower gels, Ashton knew and presented you with a bottle of your favourite scent. It made you compelled to envision a future with him, a thing you usually held yourself back from in fear of being disappointed in the long run and having to bury those dreams, but with Ashton it was just so easy. And when he danced with you through the almost empty hallways of the supermarket at 9pm, whispering how just your presence was enough for him to be happy, you decided to finally take a step forward and allow your heart to dream, because with a guy like that by your side and that warmth and familiarity and secure feeling, everything seemed possible. 

Tell me about your books.” Her gaze snapped to mesh with the his and was met with the realization that he’d been watching her the entire time. Her eyes, in one fail swoop, lost every inch of sleepiness that had been building. Instantly, they were replaced with bright, stunning stars. “Really?” He smiled and nodded, admiring her galaxies, searching for a shooting star. “Yeah, really.
