spiteful / ruinous / I'm all things you feared I was / another villain in your story

cold rage / hides the shame / of images I can't escape / scars that live under the surface

it's strange / what I became / when part of me was ripped away / and replaced with something worthless

afraid you're on my bad side? / that's good / if I wanted to end you / I could, I could

I'm sinking down / if you only knew how hard it is for me to climb out / I'm kicking and screaming, but no one can hear me, so what happens now? / the shadows are creeping in

I didn't ask for this

Take what's left of my fractured heart / Bloodstained 'cause the pieces are so sharp

When writing couples, I like to use the Kiss Rule:

If they have to kiss for you to know they’re in love, you’re not writing a romance right.

Au where instead of being rejected by the crystal, Ardyn absorbs its power and becomes the crystal himself, like a funky little human battery. Still infected by the scourge and spreading it, he is both a necessity and a danger and is kept locked away in the Citadel instead of Angelgard so the Lucis Caelum line don’t lose their connection to the Gods and their magic.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

Try to recognize patterns in your writing and brace yourself for the lowest points. 

You can’t be “on” and inspired all the time so there will be points in your WIP that are less-than-exciting to write. You won’t want to do it. You’ll feel depressed and gloomy and doubt yourself.

It’s okay to feel that way. It doesn’t mean you’re a sham. It doesn’t mean the story has lost its edge and you need to trash it (*slaps your hand away from the delete key*)

Chances are, this is a normal pattern for you. Eventually, there will come a segment in your WIP that makes you dread working on it. Happens in practically every story, right?

For me, I hit the doldrums at 30k like clockwork. Every time. It becomes slow, laborious, and awful.

But don’t let it stop you. Keep trucking through it and reassess when you can be a bit more objective later on after you’ve had a break.

By bracing yourself for the lowest points, it takes the emotional component down a notch and you can ground yourself in the realization that this is normal and it will pass.

Your Regis&Clarus post reminded me of all the Obama&Biden memes from a while back and now that won't leave my head. So thanks for that. Seriously though, I love this blog! Keep up the great work! :)

It’s really a shame there isn’t more of these two in the games or movie.

          I beg my sins be forgiven. 

                  I beg my soul be made whole. 

                            I plead what was taken be returned,                        for scars to fade with nightmarish memory. 

                                                         I cry out in vain.

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five
