This pride month, I’m gonna watch @Hbomberguy’s plagiarism video on repeat as much as possible (while working on Christmas presents). Check back in at the end of the month to see my sanity levels.

For anyone interested or want to join me.

My credentials for this: double English major, double education major. You’d think I’d have been smarter than to get two degrees in things I’ve been doing my entire life, but I wasn’t

Ernest Hemingway's 7 Tips for Writing:

1: To get started, write one true sentence.
"Sometimes when I was starting a new story and I could not get it going, I would sit in front of the fire and squeeze the peel of the little oranges into the edge of the flame and watch the sputter of blue that they made. I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and think, 'Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now.'"

2: Always stop for the day while you still know what will happen next.
"The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day when you are writing a novel you will never be stuck."

3: Never think about the story when you're not working.
"I had learned already never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it."

4: When it's time to work again, always start by reading what you've written so far.
"When it gets so long that you can't do this every day, read back two or three chapters each day; then each week read it all from the start."

5: Don't describe an emotion-make it.
"When writing for a newspaper you told what happened and, with one trick and another, you communicated the emotion aided by the element of timeliness which gives a certain emotion to any account of something that has happened on that day; but the real thing, the sequence of motion and fact which made the emotion and which would be as valid in a year or in ten years or, with luck and if you stated it purely enough, always, was beyond me."

6: Use a pencil.
"If you write with a pencil you get three different sights at it to see if the reader is getting what you want him to. First when you read it over; then when it is typed you get another chance to improve it, and again in the proof."

7: Be Brief.
"It wasn't by accident that the Gettysburg address was so short. The laws of prose writing are as immutable as those of flight, of mathematics, of physics."

I am Highly Sensitive and Autistic so sometimes the voice in my head is just like “you’re having a panic attack. It’s going to set in in about 3-5 minutes, do something about it.”
And I have 3-5 minutes to figure out what the fuck to do about it

I got #Spindlewheel yesterday! And oh my god there’s so many cards. I played with myself to get a feel for it and it was a good and satisfying story! Even if the ending was a little destructive. I love the cards so much and their meanings and how much love was put into them!

Six years ago today I accidentally dumped a boiling pot of ramen on myself and ended up in the hospital with severe second degree burns. Shoutout to the doctors and nurses that put up with my bullshit as I coped with unimaginable pain while on 3 doses of dilaudid.
