Just looking at them and suddenly blurting out 'I love you'
Causally saying I love you when the other person has done something really great for them and it wouldn't be awkward if they were just friends, but this makes them realize they're not
Confessing in the middle of a stupid fight
A drunken love confession that gets questioned and then repeated sober
While comforting the other one, who is saying that they are unloved, the other protests that they are definitely not
Exhausted, they are half asleep while saying good night, and an "I love you" slips out
During a very stressful situation, one screams "I care about you, can't you see that I love you?"
Whispering "I love you" in a really dramatic situation and then second-guessing if the other person heard and how they feel
Saying "you're lucky I love you" and realizing too late what they said
Confession via text, either through technology or oldschool pen on paper, but they didn't actually want to send it

Becoming a writer is great because now you have a hobby that haunts you whenever you don’t have time to do it
As you write, you will naturally improve. Do not wait until you think you are good enough to start. You are always good enough to start improving.
Hey guys! As a writer myself, it’s hard to have a lot of resources for writing in one place. That’s why I decided to create this masterpost, and maybe make more if I find future resources. I hope you like it, and expect to see more masterposts like this in the future!

If you’re having writers block…READ!!!! CONSUME MEDIA
I feel like I don’t hear that given enough as advice for writers block..just read? Watch tv? Movies? Find inspiration in media.
Writers block is a lack of inspiration, so go collect more.
"Let me kiss it better."
"You definitely know what to do."
"Why am I the only one naked right now?"
"I just need you to say yes."
"Your screams will wake everyone up."
"We have all night together."
"Let me feel you react."
"What a dirty little mind you have."
"Please, tell me what to do."
"You seem to like what you see."
"Are you looking for your underwear?"
"Oh, you're so sensitive."
"You really are a good boy/girl."
"This is not the time to act innocent."
"Stop looking at me like that or I can't guarantee for anything."
"I'm going to shower now. You're coming?"
"Hmm, maybe I should shut you up now."
"Maybe it's a sin, but I don't care."
"You're such a tease!"
"Oh, we're not done yet."
