Why You Should Keep Writing Your Story

why you should keep writing your story

because it’s a puzzle no one else will ever arrange the same way as you.

because there are ideas that simply won’t come to you until you write down the wrong words.

because all the bad scenes are the bones of the wonderful scenes.

because someone will love it: someone will read it once, and twice, and thrice; someone will ramble to you about the complexity of it; someone will doodle your characters out of love; someone will find it in exactly what they were looking for with or without knowing it.

because they have things to say, your characters. they’ve told you all those secrets and they have more to tell you, if you will listen.

because you love it even when you don’t; even when it drives you mad or when it accidentally turns into apathy; even when you think you’re doing it all wrong; you love it, and it loves you back.

because you can get a treasure even from things that go wrong; because if a story crumbles down you can build a shinier one on the same spot; because you won’t know where it will take you until it takes you there.

Maybe an obvious reminder but you don't have to feel guilty when you don't have anything to offer to your Deities in return for help.

In the same way you don't have to repay someone for doing you a favor out of their heart's desire - and don't have to feel bad if you cannot return their kindness with an equal gift back. People - and Deities - that love you understand when giving back is hard or impossible for you.

Sometimes a thank you is enough. Gratitude is enough, in whatever shape and form you can give it.

It's not transactional, it's set in mutual kindness and respect.

wills sudden shift into honey trap mode complete with the hair cut and dressing up makes me think he’s always been aware he’s attractive...it would make sense that he can tell with his empathy when people are attracted to him and it’s easy to imagine that it’s something that made him uncomfortable and that he felt the need to cover up with scruffiness and prickliness as seen on s1

It’s interesting in general to consider how much wills empathy clues him into what people want from him and how much he uses that for his purposes. He knows chilton wants respect and refuses to use his title, calling him only his first name while he knows hannibal wants intimacy from him and refuses to call him anything other than ‘dr. lecter’. It’s something that makes him such a fisherman! And also something that gives him a lot of capacity for cruelty, since he knows exactly where to hit you so it hurts - as bedelia says in s3 “extreme acts of cruelty require a high degree of empathy”

so I kind of have this oc country I made and I can't decide if I wanna make one of my muses from there. I originally had her from there && was gonna charge it and just have a whole section dedicated to explaining the world, but I also dunno if it would make any sense to combine cause it's sort of an au + like the new country??? it's a thing I created when I was obsessed with this show called sense8 💀 ( which was WRONGFULLY cancelled, if u ask me ) anyways ignore my rambling

me after reading that one niche fanfiction for the twenty-seventh time

i hope the author of healing isn't linear knows they've changed my life
