Me: I Need To Stop Obsessing Towards My Faves And Everything They Do.

Me: I need to stop obsessing towards my faves and everything they do.

Them: *breathe*

Me: *inhales* you are the cutest thing i love you so much and i would die for you and keep you safe and give you lots of hugs and lots of kisses and make you breakfast in the morning and i'd make sure you were always happy and make you smile and laugh *exhales*

faves meaning: Newt, Jason Todd, Dick Grayson, Caspian, Peter Pevensie, Edmund Pevensie, etc

This is my life, these are my choices

I’m definitely gonna start doing that

Adding small moments of existence to your writing 

What I’m talking about is proof of life outside your characters in your world. Not in the sense of ‘talking to the cashier at the checkout’, but things like:

Graffiti etched into a desk your character sits in during an exam

Realising that someone has come along and arranged the cans on the shelf so the labels say something stupid

Dirty vans that have ‘wash me’ written in the dried mud

A coin that has been stuck into a piece of gum on a handrail

Little things that show the world still goes on despite whatever is happening to the characters. 

This helps make the world a world, not just a setting. There are other people with other lives doing stupid, funny, dangerous, things that in no way impact the protagonist. You don’t have to dwell on them, they can only be mentioned briefly in passing during the set up of a scene, but it will help create life within the background of the story and give the characters a chance to briefly think about something other than themselves/their situation.

Who needs to sleep anyways, she says while pressing the “Next Chapter” bottom.

if it scares you, it might be a good thing to try

This was too brilliant to not share with you all.
