life would be so different if i was a bookshop owner in a small village near some forest, who has a secret affair with the local poet

Hozier really wrote the line there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin and expected me to be fine

- Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Dorian Gray has 9 first edition copies of his favourite book all in different colours to suit his mood. I truly aspire to be this extra when it comes to books.

so i was reading outside today and no one appeared at my side and fell in love with me. little fed up tbh

'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde (published in 1890)

I'm on tumblr, how's that?

oh you’re a writer? how’s doing everything you can to avoid writing going?

me too

me: yeah i have a wip, i love it so much!

my friends: oh awesome, can i read some of it?

me, knowing damn well my wip is literally just a random collection of mood boards, dialogue snippets, and playlists:

Writing is zipping along through six pages in under an hour and then getting stuck on a single transition sentence for three weeks.

writing should be fun.

make oc playlists. spend hours on moodboards that have no purpose. write self-indulgent fluff that’s never going to be published. scribble three lines of poetry in the back of your history notebook. draw fanart of your own characters. write stupid dialogue that your publishers might hate. start new wips that you might never finish but write those three chapters that make you happy because if you don’t write them, who else will?

writing shouldn’t always be about “will publishers like this” or “i have to reach this word count” or “how do i get the most likes”.

have fun with your writing.

hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and it’s less likely to creak

fictional characters can kill as many people as they want but it’s illegal for them to be annoying hope this helps
