I Always End Up Cutting Scenes Out If I Don't Think They're Working - It's Why I Have A Sixty Page Document

I always end up cutting scenes out if I don't think they're working - it's why I have a sixty page document just full of cut scenes. I never throw anything away - and sometimes I am able to fit things in at a later time, so I'm glad for that!

One of the best writing advice I have gotten in all the months I have been writing is "if you can't go anywhere from a sentence, the problem isn't in you, it's in the last sentence." and I'm mad because it works so well and barely anyone talks about it. If you're stuck at a line, go back. Backspace those last two lines and write it from another angle or take it to some other route. You're stuck because you thought up to that exact sentence and nothing after that. Well, delete that sentence, make your brain think because the dead end is gone. It has worked wonders for me for so long it's unreal

Got a lovely little birthday gift from @march-flowerr in the mail today. 😭

She also got me so many lovely stickers and now I have sticker anxiety because I don't want to put any of them on the wrong thing.

I love my pocket friends. ♥️

SKATER ELLIE PLEASE!!!!

Lmao. In response to this post.

I could bring some of that into my AU, but I also have this thought of now hilarious it would be of some of the Jackson kids repaired some skateboards and then also uncovered a little skate park or an empty backyard pool in Jackson and then keep it quiet from the ~adults.

The kids just keep showing up at home with bruises and split lips and the adults are going nuts because they think they have some sort of teenage fight club going on, then Eugene, quite matter-of-factly, just says one day, "Nah, they're just skateboarding down by the west wall, behind the old Crandall place. Got a whole setup."

And the reactions are something like

For the WIP guessing game: start

She'd sat patiently and listened to Degan tipsily explain everything they had left to do, the human trials she wanted to start - 'There are just so many things we don't know yet!' blubbered with the kind of excitement that she knew only came from someone who was eager for it, hungry for it.

This is everything to me.
