Everyone else:

This was too brilliant to not share with you all.

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.

I relate to this on a spiritual level, my whole procrastination habits for writing are derived from this

Me, a writer: *has an good idea for a story/fanfic*

Also me: “I wish somebody would write that.”

So... I guess I know why 🤷‍♀️ not gonna lie, it feels cool

i made a quiz………

reblog w who you got in the tags!

I cannot recall a time when I wasn’t like that

me when im working on something: oh i am so fucking genius,

me looking at the completed work: absolute fucking garbage who allowed my hands to make this
