Do you also get to a point when you are so frustrated by the way your family treats you, like you're a little kid, unreliable and stupid and naive and who doesn't know anything in the world, and when you confront them about it- about how pathetic and insecure it makes you feel, they hit you with something like "why are you always so rude" "why do always have to overreact" etc.. and later you feel bad for standing up for yourself because it was "rude'' and that you "overreacted" and that you treat your family poorly? or is it just me?

This ✨constant oscillation between having a heart-aching amount of anxiety and being idiotically optimistic that things will work out in the end and therefore not caring enough to do something about everything✨is killing me

here's a random theory i have about dead poets society.
when keating breaks down at the end of the movie after seeing the 1st page of that book, that is because it reminded him of the time when he was a boy and was part of the dead poets. what more could have happened was that neil's death had reminded him of one of his friends who had also killed himself at that time.
after opening the book, he saw the text written by his friend who had died back then and that made him realize the parallel between then and now.

Poison list
While it's important to approach writing with creativity and imagination, it's crucial to prioritize responsible and ethical storytelling. That being said, if you're looking for information on poisons for the purpose of writing fiction, it's essential to handle the subject matter with care and accuracy. Here is a list of some common poisons that you can use in your stories:
Hemlock: Hemlock is a highly poisonous plant that has been used as a poison in various works of literature. It can cause paralysis and respiratory failure.
Arsenic: Arsenic is a toxic element that has been historically used as a poison. It can be lethal in high doses and can cause symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and organ failure.
Cyanide: Cyanide is a fast-acting poison that affects the body's ability to use oxygen. It can cause rapid loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest.
Nightshade: Nightshade plants, such as Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade, contain toxic compounds that can cause hallucinations, respiratory distress, and even death.
Ricin: Ricin is a potent poison derived from the castor bean plant. It can cause organ failure and has been used as a plot device in various fictional works.
Strychnine: Strychnine is a highly toxic alkaloid that affects the nervous system, leading to muscle spasms, convulsions, and respiratory failure.
Snake Venom: Various snake venoms can be used in fiction as deadly poisons. Different snake species have different types of venom, each with its own effects on the body.
Belladonna: Also known as Deadly Nightshade, Belladonna contains tropane alkaloids such as atropine and scopolamine. Ingesting or even touching the plant can lead to symptoms like blurred vision, hallucinations, dizziness, and an increased heart rate.
Digitalis: Digitalis, derived from the foxglove plant, contains cardiac glycosides. It has been historically used to treat heart conditions, but in high doses, it can be toxic. Overdosing on digitalis can cause irregular heart rhythms, nausea, vomiting, and visual disturbances.
Lead: Lead poisoning, often resulting from the ingestion or inhalation of lead-based substances, has been a concern throughout history. Lead is a heavy metal that can affect the nervous system, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, cognitive impairment, anemia, and developmental issues, particularly in children.
Mercury: Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that has been used in various forms throughout history. Ingesting or inhaling mercury vapors can lead to mercury poisoning, causing symptoms like neurological impairment, kidney damage, respiratory issues, and gastrointestinal problems.
Aconite: Also known as Wolfsbane or Monkshood, aconite is a highly toxic plant. Its roots and leaves contain aconitine alkaloids, which can affect the heart and nervous system. Ingesting aconite can lead to symptoms like numbness, tingling, paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and respiratory failure.
Thallium: Thallium is a toxic heavy metal that can cause severe poisoning. It has been used as a poison due to its tastelessness and ability to mimic other substances. Thallium poisoning can lead to symptoms like hair loss, neurological issues, gastrointestinal disturbances, and damage to the kidneys and liver.
When incorporating poisons into your writing, it is essential to research and accurately portray the effects and symptoms associated with them. Additionally, be mindful of the potential impact your writing may have on readers and the importance of providing appropriate context and warnings if necessary.

when Sylvia Plath said "I want so obviously, so desperately to be loved, and to be capable of love. I am still so naive; I know pretty much what I like and and dislike; but please, don't ask me who I am. A passionate, fragmentary girl, maybe?"
it hit.

Other people: Oh how I want this! I'm gonna make it happen for myself.
Me, a writer: Oh how I want this! But since this is not gonna happen to me lemme just write a book about it where I've imprinted my personality and appearance traits onto the main character as it is.

WRITING EXERCISE 101
Do you want to write visually? Do you want to write your scenes descriptively AND not get your readers bored? Do you envy the authors whose work are so indulging even if it doesn't have a fun storyline or too much dialogues? If yes, me too.
While surfing through the internet about it, I couldn't find much help. So I had no option but to devise my own practice method. And I swear on Aaron Blackford and my other fictional boyfriends, IT WORKS MAGIC.
So..... one article I found was going on and on about, think like a screenwriter, see like a poet, paint with words etc etc, and I remember thinking-- only if it was this easy.
In this method all you need is, still picture from any of your favorite movie or show (better if it is in the same genre as your WIP) and a blank document open. You don't need to think so hard like a scriptwriter or see things from a poet's perspective if you're not one yourself.
You open the picture on one side of your device and open your document on the other, and you describe exactly word by word about what YOU see. You can even refer to the context of the movie in that scene or maybe make up a new one by yourself.
Don't try to force in poetic devices if you can't think of any at that moment.
Instead, when you'll later read that piece of text again, i promise, you will get a rush of new and better ideas.
Practice this a few more times and the next time when you'll start to work on your WIP, you'll have a much better and clearer idea of what you AND your reader want to have there.
Make sure to let me know how this worked out for y'all!
Thank me later<3

Surprisingly easy and effective
ways to start writing more efficiently
stop writing with the word count on!
use a font like comic sans -- trick your brain into thinking that it's not important, that the writing can be stupid, if it's in a stupid font (if you can't tell i despise comic sans)
time yourself to get to a goal
or give yourself a certain amount of time
quantity >> quality in the first draft(s)!
jot down what you want to happen in that chapter
try organizing your writing (nanowrimo, for example)
do *not* reread! it doesn't need to make sense, it just needs to be there
try not to stick yourself to something you saw on tumblr. what works for someone else doesn't necessarily work for you!
take breaks. time those breaks.
practice writing short stories / oneshots of your characters.
try getting all your writing done within a certain goal (as much as I can for 30 minutes) rather than writing 5 minutes on or off
write down every little wormy idea that comes into your brain! sure, it's probably for a different plot, but maybe you can work it in somehow?
on that note, mash elements of your plots together rather than starting a whole new story
see maybe what little writing competitions you can submit your work to
proclaim your goal to the wide web for some peer pressure
rewards yourself. cheer on every thousand-word milestone. brag to your friends that you've written something, anything.
don't think of the big goal—don't think of publishing, or posting, etc. think of the end of your chapter, the development of your character, where it goes.
switch your writing environment! where are you most productive?
make a playlist only for when you write. never for anything else.
getting off tumblr, probably.
have people remind you of your goals.
remember that it all comes with discipline, but also your mental health is the most important!! don't sacrifice half your sleep to meet your nanowrimo goals. try to recognize when it's taking you too long and close the document. do something else. come back later.
take care of yourself. <3 use this post as a breather (or reminder to start!)
