Normal Kdramas Have That Scene Where The Guy Saves The Girl And Then She Catches Feelings, But Not Gaus.

This is why you can't finish your book

How long have you been trying to finish that idea you had for a book? Why is it that you can never see the finish line?

There’s different reasons for different writers, but in most cases it comes down to one simple thing:

Overwhelm.

You look at your project and you WANT to work on it, but…

you need to research a topic first to write it well

you need to go back and work out a character’s backstory first

you should probably fix the consistency of this character’s voice, they changed so much since you started chapter 1

you probably want to plot this out more

a couple of these chapters here and there are just a mess… which you promised to deal with later

Basically…. you’ve got a HEAP of tasks and issues ahead of you that you have to work out, before you can call the piece complete. And it is SO much work. And it’s overwhelming.

It’s easier to say you’ll untangle it a little later, or when you’ve got a clearer head.

But allow me to let you in on a little secret…

Writing is always messy.

The only way writing gets less messy is if you write it out, and then you rewrite it. And then maybe rewrite it again.

But the only way to move forward is put all these current issues out of your mind, until you finish that first draft, no matter how much of a MESS it is.

It’ll be a smaller mess in the next rewrite.

“You can say anything and I will not abandon you.”

Reblog the writers’ fortune cookie for luck!

if u don’t use your tumblr like a diary you’re using it wrong

dear authors, if a character has dark ANYTHING, why does it have to be likened to food 😒

so......you liked bridgerton?

here are my recommendations of tv shows, movies and books that gives me the 'bridgerton vibe' (set in period/regency eras) and will hopefully sustain you until s2 drops (feel free to reblog with your own recommendations!)

watch:

Emma, [2020] josh o'connor is iconic in this

Pride & Prejudice [2005] pretty self explanatory

Bride & Prejudice [2004] pride and prejudice but make it indian, elijah from the originals is wickham!

Mr Malcolm’s List [2019] a short film based on the book (see below) but a movie is now in production!

The Musketeers [2014-16] BBC TV series, the best musketeers adaptation in my opinion, fun fact- phoebe stars in an episode!

Sanditon [2019-] I personally don't like this but a lot of people in this fandom have mentioned this :/

Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham [2001]- the title track for this movie will be in s2 and it’s my all time fav bollywood movie! Available on Netflix!

The sun is always rotating around the earth whether you see it or not. The clouds often have a habit of gliding over it stopping the sun beams from shining down but just because you can’t see the sun all the time doesn’t mean it’s not there. Same goes for desires, just because you can’t see the movement doesn’t mean it’s not there. Just because it’s raining doesn’t mean the sun isn’t there behind scenes. Just because the 3D looks the complete opposite right now doesn’t mean nothing is happening behind scenes. There’s always movement no matter how bad the 3D may seem. Persist bby, because your affirmations are shifting the world around you.
