They had watched over life for many eons, soon their time would end and another would take their place. One golden tear fell softly down their cheek. Oh how much they had witnessed, the beauty , the terror and all that came with it.
Consumption N.02
The woman watched her footprints in the sand fade, it was nothing big or grand, just one trace of her existence, being replaced by something else. She was alive in some sense of the word, but so where most and not all belived it worth their while. She was one of them.
She would usually walk the long coastline til her feet would ache and the cold air made her fingers painfully numb. She would walk until she felt completely undone. Today she was skipping wide flat stones across the water, they'd plonk and sink, rarely did they skim the surface. Looking down as the tide rushed to her feet, she saw the stones wash towards her, whether they where the ones she threw, she didnt know.
If she could catapult her disbelief into the ocean , perhaps it would come back one day as belief: something light in the face of forever. That was what these walks had been for after all, a way to feel lighter, to somehow shed the heavyness of living from her bones.
---N. 01
We're together but each one of us is pulled back by the dogs of isolation. The desperation for touch, for speech is crisp but the silence is conquering. We sit disconnected, we sense our words and phrases falling short of dare and of significance. We look at each other but our eyes are clouded, blinded by the black mist of misunderstanding. I look at you and you at me, we are mere discoloured postcards, ripped love letters, both of us are clinging on something that's driving us astray. We're together but we're so lonely. Your eyes have their unfinished passion and mine are brim of affection. But none of us dares to come closer or to set the tongue free. We sit: silent, self-centred, singular, and sinuous, as we let these small misunderstandings, grouping, winning, and seizing vain victory. You look at me again and I at you, our wrong silence is bleeding for speech, for liberation, for communication.

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.
have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.
Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.
Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.
Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.
It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.

Tumblr writers finding out afab means that the person isn't afab anymore and they make their afab readers still female:
But seriously when I see afab reader I'm expecting the reader to be a trans male or smth.
All day every day
Me to my characters whenever I'm writing a new story:
People that make fun of someone else is writing need to get a laugh or maybe try writing something themselves and then comment.

Oh this is the worst
We are all here, lost, trying to find our path in life.

This deserves to blow up! So beautifuly written.
Selfishly, I hope I have left an imprint on your heart - I hope my name is signed on one of the chambers with a lock only I have the key to. I hope when the sun comes through your blinds on Sunday mornings you remember how I would lay there next to you, back bare, my eyes staring into yours. I hope when the girl sitting across from you laughs you think about mine, how it would fill the room and your chest just the same. I hope you look back on the kind of love we had and realize it was a once in a lifetime chapter of the novel you now have to continue writing without me. Selfishly, I hope there’s still time for me to be the one who’s there until the very last page.
If not, help me let you go.
The End
He drew me towards him with a fraigle thread of honey-like words. He stayed, he supported, he listened if he couldn’t help. But I held back that thread under all expectations and pressure so well. I wished to grant him a place in my heart but by some it was already locked. I muttered in his ear, “It will be fine,” but some sealed my mouth forever. Yet, It didn’t have an unhappy ending because it never got to have a begining.
Here's to hoping I'll finish all of my 21 WIPs after exams and skz cb. Like yk when the idea's in your mind and the words are too but you just can't write it down...? Is it just me...

Pro-writing tip: if your story doesn't need a number, don't put a fucking number in it.
Nothing, I mean nothing, activates reader pedantry like a number.
I have seen it a thousand times in writing workshops. People just can't resist nitpicking a number. For example, "This scifi story takes place 200 years in the future and they have faster than light travel because it's plot convenient," will immediately drag every armchair scientist out of the woodwork to say why there's no way that technology would exist in only 200 years.
Dates, ages, math, spans of time, I don't know what it is but the second a specific number shows up, your reader is thinking, and they're thinking critically but it's about whether that information is correct. They are now doing the math and have gone off drawing conclusions and getting distracted from your story or worse, putting it down entirely because umm, that sword could not have existed in that Medieval year, or this character couldn't be this old because it means they were an infant when this other story event happened that they're supposed to know about, or these two events now overlap in the timeline, or... etc etc etc.
Unless you are 1000% certain that a specific number is adding to your narrative, and you know rock-solid, backwards and forwards that the information attached to that number is correct and consistent throughout the entire story, do yourself a favor, and don't bring that evil down upon your head.
