Hey enchant!! <3 happy sts!

I can see people writing sweet domestic scenes or angsty breakdowns with my current wip. Some homey things because these kids are globetrotting and need a break. Also they’re all repressing many emotions, so,,

Sending love to you tori! And happy STS!! What is the most self indulgent piece of lore you have?

Hey, love! Thanks for the ask!

Oh my gosh, okay. It's not in any piece I've mentioned before, mostly because it's a work I haven't touched since I was probably 13.

BUT I have a world and story where being a mermaid is literally a genetic trait as simple as getting brown eyes. I am obsessed with mermaids, in every mythology, form, and fashion I can find them in. (Also: they're real.) So, of course, I wrote a story where the lore makes it so mermaids can exist alongside people-- if with its own challenges.

when youre writing but you forget a word that was in your head milliseconds ago so you just die for the next 93 years

what people think writing is: worldbuilding, churning out entire chapters in one sitting, metaphors, character building, finishing novels, flawless plotlines

what writing actually is: random 1 am thoughts, zoning out into fictional worlds, associating songs with characters, writer’s block for six weeks at a time, coming up with plot twists at the most inconvenient times

Reminder to self:

Your writing seems boring and predictable because 

You wrote it

You’ve read it like eight million times.

A person who has never read it before does not have this problem.
