you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

Literally me rn LMAO XD 😭💀

Writing isn't just putting words on the page. It's thinking about your character while you're taking a shower, scribbling down a plot idea at 3am, daydreaming about your story world, getting struck by sudden inspiration while listening to a song. Don't get hung up on how many words you've written. If you're making mental space of any kind for your story, you're writing.

Working on my novel and couldn’t figure out why it felt so empty. I didn’t have any filler. It was all 100% plot. The characters only interacted when necessary. I didn’t prattle on about the scenery or how the birds sounded. I had all my fuller stuff that I loved saved in another file because I “didn’t need it”.

Y’all, I knew this existed in TV shows but it didn’t hit me until this that everything is being whittled down. We are so starving for filler that we snap up anything. I unload all mine on Tumblr or keep it in a massive Google Docs. It SUCKS.

Honestly? Death to plot necessity. Revive filler. Revive unnecessary interactions. Revive just vibing with characters sometimes. I don’t want to just consume the plot and I don’t want to just create the plot either.
