Writing Craft - Tumblr Posts
I don't have any stakes in Legendborn love triangle, but while I won't be mad if it ends up poly, I will be disappointed. I just really want to see how she resolves everything from a craft perspective. So many authors fail at resolving their triangles in a way that is satisfying or isn't contrived. But I trust Tracy to pull it off, and I want to see her do it. Poly would be the easy answer (even though I know from real life experience, it's really not easier in practice); everyone goes home happy. But I want to see her find a solution to the tough question of how this all plays out if monogamy the end game.
I so desperately wanna work with someone to make a good site for writers. As a writer, there are so many sites that are dead or simply impossible to use. There's no Youtube for writers yet, and at some point I want there to be one.
Don't Always Write To Finish a Novel
I've had writer's block for almost a year now and it was only when I took a step back and just wrote whatever I wanted without thinking I needed to finish it, did it clear up. Stress is very real and the stress we give ourselves is stronger than any other.

Despair.
When despair felt like the best alternative to happiness, it was easier said than done to try and improve. The world was how it was going to be and there was very little I could do to change it… let alone the circumstance I was put inside.
Assistance was something I could only hope for.
Friendship wasn’t likely.
Love isn’t common.
Life never played in my favor. Almost like some story being written as the days went on—nothing was planned, just improvised for someone else’s enjoyment.
All the despair I feel from a life not lived has caught up. This life should have control, maybe I should try after so long.
Today will be the day
Ren is a fabrication I made when I was in middle school to cope with loneliness. I would talk to him in my head as if he were truly there since no one else would even look in my direction. I had a lot of fun and he became a big part of my life, so much so that I began to turn to him more than I did my own family. Ren is more or less myself, but he doesn't have crippling anxiety. He's brash, honest and truly himself with no reservations about the world around him. Usually, his character is one of my most interesting since it's me if I wasn't born with most of my issues.
