Today's kind art reminder: It's okay if you're not interested in pursuing something and making it into a bigger, more fleshed out thing. You can, if you want to, but it's okay for your creative projects to become stumps, or remain as small, one-off things. Not everything has to be the same level of grand

Winter crept, into their home, with a subtle shift, autumn concedes, to his frigid touch, and broken vows.
His love dissolves, on the winter ground, where snow quietly falls. Breaking his controls, to take her power back, she planted her own flowers. delicately, smoldering in ash.

I hate reading a fanfic and they say your favorite artist is Taylor Swift…..I need writers to start putting “your fav singer” or whatever in stories bc that woman is definitely not my taste 😭

hello! so, it's been a while. a few weeks, maybe.
I have been grappling with the idea of writing non-harry work, because I think for the past 2-3 years that I've been writing harry ff, I've really come to the conclusion that it wouldn't last forever and it may be sooner than later. I've been eternally grateful for EVERYTHING this platform has shows me this far, but I'm curious to know about the writing community that tumblr has that isn't fanfiction.
I want to start read unpublished work and to see writers who maybe want to start sharing things that aren't fan-base related. does anyone have any insight to this?
I will still continue to write my fantasies, of course. but I'm looking to branch out too!
let me know 💌

No one has ever written about a love they have or had as much as they've written about the love they wish for. It's a curse to hope beyond reasons.

They say you die three times, first when the body dies, second, when your body enters the grave, and third, when your name is spoken for the last time. You were a normal person in life, but hundreds of years later, you still haven't had your "third" death. You decide to find out why.

writers when they’re proofreading their works for the 34th time *find zero mistakes, there’s no typo, no grammatical error. everything looks good. hit the post button*
writers when they’re reading said works after they’ve been published like proud parents *find 52 mistakes at first glance, 38 typos and 14 grammatical errors with a bunch of inconsistencies and plot holes*

people need to understand that once you go through your worst time alone, you really don’t care who stays in your life anymore.

How to get in the writing mood and keep at it
(Not all of these may work for everyone, find what motivates you)
- Read something, especially something you enjoy or find very interesting
- Already have an idea? Write an elevator pitch about it. Or a summary as if your writing was a fanfic. Or a synopsis, or an "Out of context" description. Or an advertisement
- Start narrating things you do. Either outloud or mentally, but I find that in general this gets you out of the daydreaming mode, into writing mode, if you just start going "and then they swiftly sat down to look for that one thing they knew had to be somewhere around here"
- Get some music and start really imagining some scene. You can try to find something fitting for what you wanna write or try different moods and vibes and see which one inspires you
- do something that casually occupies your hands or body but lets your mind run free. For me this is car rides or bike rides (with music), but any sort of little tinkering or Stim toys for example can help crafting up ideas
- Scribble, write random words, gather sentences, they don't need to be related to anything you're writing, but get some word production going and you're already closer to getting started. Just write whatever your mind brings you and let your hand run free, loosen it up ykno
- Write about something very easy. This is like the narrating your actions part, but instead of mental or verbal it's just writing. Write "Then I wrote a sentence. Then I wrote another sentence, and another sentence after that" and so on. Just start with something mundane, obvious or easy and work your way from there
- Write character or environment descriptions. It's also an easy start. Or text a friend and tell them what you're thinking of writing. Or talk to them about your ideas or lack thereof. You can also use the rubber duck method (explain what your problem is to an object, like a rubber duck, as if it was your listener. Having to teach or explain something to a third person can often help solve what you're struggling with)
- Move your ass. I don't mean that you have to exercise, I mean that when you sit in the same spot for too long your brain can start stagnating. Move from one place to another and get some blood flowing, maybe do some stretching too, that's good for you
- Self care. Tired? Out of focus? Hungry? Aching? Been working too much already? I know these can be hard to figure out but personally for me, I find that if I feel really impatient about wanting to complete something but finding the process of doing so really stressful, wanting to take shortcuts and so on, I just need a break. Look for any signs of fatigue or irritation or any potential emotional stress that you might wanna take care of first, trust me it helps, I know it feels lame bc you just wanna get productive but rest is productive I promise.
Tangent: if you just really really wanna write some specific thing, but feel like you can't just start there, Just Start There. Don't torture yourself by forcing yourself to make or do more than what you're actually interested in, when you feel like doing more, you can do more, but if there's this ONE SCENE or something you REALLY WANNA get down, do that. The rest can come later, or never. That's completely fine. Make sure you're actually enjoying this

How to show emotions
Part IV
How to show bitterness
tightness around their eyes
pinched mouth
sour expression on their face
crossed arms
snorting angrily
turning their eyes upward
shaking their head
How to show hysteria
fast breathing
chest heaving
trembling of their hands
weak knees, giving in
tears flowing down their face uncontrollably
laughing while crying
not being able to stand still
How to show awe
tension leaving their body
shoulders dropping
standing still
opening mouth
slack jaw
not being able to speak correctly
slowed down breathing
wide eyes open
softening their gaze
staring unabashingly
How to show shame
vacant stare
looking down
turning their head away
cannot look at another person
putting their head into their hands
shaking their head
How to show being flustered
blushing
looking down
nervous smile
sharp intake of breath
quickening of breath
blinking rapidly
breaking eye contact
trying to busy their hands
playing with their hair
fidgeting with their fingers
opening mouth without speaking
Part I + Part II + Part III

A part of me always fantasizes about waking up to nightmares. Cause I'm exhausted of all the bliss of the world, that i've started to dream of poetic misery. Never healing stab in the heart.

A strange alien doctor stands near the unconscious body of Padme Amidala. “It appears she has lost the will to live.” A older man with a limp hobbles closer with the aid of a cane. “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard,” says Dr. Gregory House.
