Hi. So I have a question. I'm going to write about a city I've never been to, New York, do you have any tips on how to do this?

Hello, dear. I get asked this often and 4/5 times it’s about New York City, so you’re getting a resource list so I can just direct people to your ask from now on!

I’ve posted a total of 9 times, mostly writing-related, and i’ve never talked about my writing or shared my writing because i’m too nervous. anyway, so, yeah.

​reblog if you’re a writing blog, i want to follow and make friends with other writers!

reblog the dragon cat for good luck

Hot take: Actual literary analysis requires at least as much skill as writing itself, with less obvious measures of whether or not you’re shit at it, and nobody is allowed to do any more god damn litcrit until they learn what the terms “show, don’t tell” and “pacing” mean.

aaahhh i just started a new WIP

it’s stupidly fun though so i want to continue it.

i don’t think I’m ever going to get over this line

it’s the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.
