Me, In Reference To A D&D Character: He’s Just A Little Guy!

to any readers or writers who see this, reblog with the weirdest line you’ve ever written or read (fanfic counts!). I’ll start: “‘Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw’”

EPIC: The Musical is a fucking bomb. Seriously, it’s good

but also, listening to it all the way through is not helpful in trying to remember the songs, especially when the brain switches up the lyrics

My brain went: “Let’s see where you’ve been! When does a man become a meteor?” And I’m like “No, it doesn’t work that way.” And the visual in my head is Mr. Jalapeño shoving MICO then the cast rowing during the livestream of the cast listening to it

Me talking to myself

yes, I talk to myself in the second person. I will also use the fourth person collective on occasion.

“Why can’t I write what I want to today?”

maybe because what you want to write is a cohesive story and you would mostly be staring at that damn taunting, blinking line of a cursor on the Google Doc

“I want to write chronologically!” too bad, you’re thinking of a random scene that’s over halfway through the story. I don’t make the rules

“Why can’t I write the main plot?”

because I said so. Now go back to writing about what happened hundreds of years before the main plot to explain the tension between the two sides

“What’s this character’s name again?”

Think of a new one. You know what it is, and it causes the Tiffany Problem. Think of a new one, you fucking idiot

Being from Massachusetts is the only reason I know how to pronounce Worcestershire sauce. Worcester, MA has conditioned me to have “woostah” or “wooster” (I don’t have a heavy accent) as a possible pronunciation of that combo of letters

I don’t care if it’s originally British or not, Massachusetts taught me well

It also makes it a lot harder to spell from memory. Took me five tries in this post

happy Thursday the 20th

Having multiple wips be like:

Morning: Oh, that’s a good idea for wip 1!

midday: wait, I should work on wip 2’s plot, I have ideas

afternoon: *thinking about random scenarios for wip 3*

evening: What wip is this for again? Meh, I’ll figure it out

Person I’m talking about my writing to: That’s so cool! Can I see it?

Me: the thing is…. It’s spread over ten documents that I haven’t touched in like, six months and I’ve been super focused on making the magic system work so some characters aren’t complete gods because of lucky family lineage.

Person: …

Me: And I haven’t actually started writing the plot.

Yep. Either this or random scenes for an already existing series I’m writing.

Writing

Is really difficult. Give yourself a break every once in a while. I’ve been on break from starting writing my main wip for over a year, and I still procrastinate the hell out of it. Writing takes time. Let it happen on its own
