ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL I CAN DO ALL OF THE PERSONAL WRITING I WANT

It’s a hard world out here

Accurate.

idk who needs to hear this but when your english teacher asks you to explain why an author chose to use a specific metaphor or literary device, it’s not because you won’t be able to function in real-world society without the essential knowledge of gatsby’s green light or whatever, it’s because that process develops your abilities to parse a text for meaning and fill in gaps in information by yourself, and if you’re wondering what happens when you DON’T develop an adult level of reading comprehension, look no further than the dizzying array of examples right here on tumblr dot com

I am going to take a deep breath and just remind you:

Writing is messy, even for the best authors. It's supposed to feel a little uncomfortable, exhilarating, freeing, natural, and terrifying.

It's supposed to inspire you and feel like a too-heavy backpack.

Sometimes, you're going to love being a writer and sometimes, you'll feel so disconnected, you'll wonder if you were ever a writer to begin with.

Give yourself room to make mistakes and hate your work and return to it with renewed confidence that yes, you will get 1% better next time.

It's what we're all going through. Let's speed up the growing process a little by accepting the entirety of it.

THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN

Writeblr Summerfest Theme 2

What is the Writeblr Summerfest? It's an annual event that takes place here on Tumblr every year, during the month of August! Come by for fun games, writing prompts, community sharing, and a chance to enter into both free and paid writing contests!

Goodie bags and themed merchandise will be available for purchase! There will be stories! Events! Activities!

Each year, we get a little better and a little more organized. Vote for your favorite theme and then sit back, relax, and see how it affects the games that come out this year!

10 more days until the semester is over and I'm finally free to do as much personal writing as I want

I’m very severely procrastinating doing my schoolwork rn.

Please send help.

for every note/reblog this gets i’ll add fifty words to my current wip. i need to get it done.

why are people so against negative character development? characters don’t need to improve and become better people they can get worse and make mistakes and end up in a worse state than when they began and it’s just as interesting and entertaining as characters developing positively

I think people in fandom would be happier if they focused more on things they love than the things they hate

All it means when people say “you’re speaking from a place of privilege” is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.

It connects, okay!
