I’ve Learned My Lessons Hard But,

Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers (via books-n-quotes)

Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.

So many people when they’re talking to me say ‘’I wanna try writing stuff at some point’’ What the hell are you waiting for? Go for it

Let's create a character!

Doing a fun little Writing Game over the next few days. Every day we create a new aspect of our character.

Let's decide on some character traits: What kind of positive character traits does our character have?

Tell me in the tags what character trait you like in a character!

Name | Hair Colour | Eye Colour | Physical Feature

I can’t imagine writing a book without some strong female characters, unless that was a demand of the setting. I actually tend to suspect that in real life, there have always been very strong female characters, but at certain stages of society, they’ve been asked to cool it.

As someone who works in a bookstore I will say the HEA rule for romance will probably always apply but I think the monster lovers are coming out of the closet(or maybe cave). More people are admitting to reading it, so more readers are talking about it and recommending it.

🌼 -- least favorite genre to write

SO I'm actually gonna say Romance and Erotica, which is a shame because I actually enjoy writing romance and sex, but I find the expectations readers have for those genres to be so strict that I don't think I'd enjoy writing a ROMANCE novel if you get me

like I see romancelandia refusing to accept or read books with characters that don't look a certain way -- last I saw people were outright saying they just recast every man as Henry Cavill if he doesn't have That Look or refusing to read it if he doesnt and I dislike that a lot? Like obvi I get people will see characters as they do but to get a character description that like, you don't like and just deciding oh he's Henry Cavill now, idk man

I also really dislike the requirement for every book to have a happily ever after or a happy for now to be Hella stifling because it limits what KINDS of romance I can write, maybe I wanna write something more tragic idk

the rigid and strict expectations and refusal to accept deviations in the genre make writing for it feel really stifling and unsatisfying, but that's just me -- I know a lot of folks love writing it snd hey that's great, I just don't don't enjoy it personally

So my mom has been in the hospital in unbelievable pain all week and I'm like. What if I got people to read her smutty books. And she gets out of the hospital to hit like thousands of reads on Kindle

Learning to Live Dark

Learning to Live Dark

  Even as a small child, I was never afraid of the dark. The first time I woke in a coffin, changed that. I opened my eyes in pitch black, the weight of it pressing down and the silence ringing in my ears. I screamed myself, hoarse. All these years later, I’m still not accustomed to it. This night, I startle awake and force myself to breath. I don’t need to but, the feeling is comforting. My…
