Found Some Writing I Did When I Was 11 And Oh Boy

i’ve got you under my skin

a psa:

fuck negativity about your own work! be PROUD!!!! it may not be the best work you’ve ever done, but you got words down! don’t let yourself be over critical!!! if you don’t like what you wrote, be proud of the effort you put in

gentle writing reminder that not every line has to be pure gold!! in fact, not every line should be all profound and deep. you have to set things up, and simple action and dialogue and description will happen and that’s okay! not every word you write has to be earth shattering!!!!! writing and building worlds takes a lot and you cant expect every sentence to be profound. this is okay! this is normal! what’s important is getting the words out and writing what needs to be written, and i’m sure there will be some gems in there!

what people think is hard about writing: describing the joy, love, beauty, grief, loss and hope that form the richness of human experience

what is actually hard about writing: describing basic actions such as turning, leaning over, reclining, gesturing, saying something in a quiet voice, breathing, getting up from chairs, and walking across rooms

im in the middle of your picture, lying in the reeds

bro… are you writing mean things about yourself online..?

stop saying these things.. u gotta stop using maladaptive coping humour to demean and belittle yourself so much.. i just want u to be kinder to urself bro

we’re gonna write our novels and we’re gonna FINISH them and it’s gonna be GREAT and we’re gonna fall in love w it every time we read it.
