A writer is like a semi-trusty lawnmower.

It’s an absolute pain to get started, with all the grunting and groaning and pushing and shoving to bring it to life.

Once it’s going, you’re good. Maybe you hit a stick or a rock here and there, but your semi-trusty lawnmower keeps trucking along until the whole yard looks much nicer.

And then you sit over by the shed with it still running because you’re afraid to turn it off. It took so long to get the thing going, what of you can’t turn it back on?

Eventually you turn it off, only to realize you’ve missed a piece lawn and have a 15-minute fit over whether you care enough to fight with the mower and finish the job. Maybe you just grab a pair of scissors and angrily chop at the grass like it’ll make a difference.

Then you walk away, confused as to how a 90% good job has left you 112% unsatisfied.

I literally only have one rule in my writing and it is this:

No matter what I put my characters through, they make it. They get to make it to the end of the story and have everything work out and be ok.

Because that’s the story I need. So it’s the kind I write.

If you want a piece of writing advice: write a story that is what you needed to hear at whatever age your target demographic is. I can guarantee you there’ll be someone out there who needs to hear it as much as you did. And maybe you’ll help them the same way someone else’s story did for you.

For some reason, this hit home and I never realized it that I did this for my stories too

how would you describe the stans for each of the vixx members? like what kind of fans are they :)

me writing dialogue: “what is man but a vessel through which a higher entity may see? what is his purpose? must he find a purpose? we are but stardust; the universe comprehending itself.”

me writing action: they ran real fast from the bad men aand legs hurty

me writing dialogue: “Hello fellow character! I am speaking words at your face with my face!”

me writing internal dialogue: It was the curve of her lips that reminded him of the warm comfort of childhood, and he could swear the scent of fresh cherry pie permeated the air, even now. He wanted to respond, but his throat was choked by an emotion he could not name – an emotion he could only identify through another three paragraphs of shit like this.
