Happy Pride!

Im actually about to release the most nuts video today you guys are so not ready see you in 2 hours

Tumblr is known and also spoken of by its user base for its high proportion of lgbt+ users, but I'm curious as to if the lgbt+ user base is actually as large as though or if its just confirmation bias, so...

For fun if you want put how you identify in the tags and the part of tumblr you'd say you're here for

Want to know a secret? Here you go.

You don’t have to write with the goal of finishing a whole story. And even if you do write with that goal, and you don’t finish the story, then you’re still writing.

Fanfic writers, especially, all way too hard on ourselves about our WIPs. Way, way too hard.

I have folders of WIPs, by categories, and I used to despair of finishing them all but… then I learned that “finish” has very, very different meaning in the “paid to write” community.

Well-written fragments and scenes and thoughts and micro stories — personal essays and flash fiction and other short prose — are welcome at many literary journals. They’re writing forms unto themselves. Sometimes all the story wants to be is 500 words (flash fiction). Sometimes it wants to be 5,000 (short story). And sometimes 50,000 (novel). Or any form in between.

So the next time you write a blurb, a drabble, or any other short writing piece, and then stop and leave it be — don’t be so hard on yourself.

Maybe you’ll finish it. Or maybe it’s finished already. Maybe it’ll find it’s way into a story. Or maybe not.

Writing 300 words of how your blorbos would enjoy the sunset and then never looking at it again still counts as writing and is good practice for you.

All the love to all of your WIPs, those pesky little children. Love them. They’re parts of you.

Hey, could you do me a favor?

Could you just RB this?

The little RB statistics chart is so pleasant and stimmy to look at and I want to see what it looks like when it gets really REALLY huge because it makes me think of some deep sea lifeform
