writer questions!
nobody tagged me but I love this crap and am technically a writer so lets do it.
1. what’s your favourite genre to write?
Oooooo romance obviously, but more specifically I like writing fics that focus a lot on character analysis?
2. do you pull inspiration from real-life, or do you pull things from other books/fanfic?
I write a lot of AUs, but I do get a lot of inspiration from songs. I’ll also work in headcanons I see on tumblr and stuff
3. do you tend to write one-shots, short stories, or longer things?
I always want to write multi-chapter fics, but struggle to finish them. It’s a goal of mine to write more one shots instead of dedicating myself to 20k+ fics.
4. do you prefer description or dialogue?
DIALOGUE!!! I used to be obsessed with writing texting fics which gave me a lot of experience with dialogue, while leaving my description skills to suffer.
5. favourite fanfic/book of all time?
Bro. Impossible question, but my current favourite book is The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. My favourite series is Six of Crows or The Raven Cycle.
As for fics...I’m gonna forget so many BUT I’ll give you one for each of my top ships on AO3
1. Andrew and Neil (All for the Game): Those That Broke Us by WriteThroughTheNight ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/9095254:)
This is atypical for me since it’s not romance focused, but is rather focused on Neil’s trauma from his mother and him realizing that the way she treated him was not okay.
Also shoutout to every “andreil fake rivalry fic” it is one of the few times I read established relationship and I eat it up every time.
2: Adam and Ronan (The Raven Cycle): while we're on the subject, could we change the subject now by shinealightonme (https://archiveofourown.org/works/12643005)
A truly adorable neighbour AU. Honestly Pynch was one of the toughest to pick a favourite for.
3. Mickey and Ian (Shameless): I couldn’t decide between Fucked for Life by Awritersmind (https://archiveofourown.org/works/21800806/chapters/52022443)
An interesting twist on the coffee shop AU where Mickey and Ian fall in love as adults rather than teens.
I read this a while ago, but I was OBSESSED it made me fall in love with the idea of Artist! Mickey and I loved how they wrote his relationship with his sister Mandy.
and None the wiser by Loftec
(https://archiveofourown.org/works/4856489/chapters/11128907
Again I read this a while ago, but it is a diner AU and just utterly delightful. I love reading fics where Mickey had a good relationship with his son and this is is a really good one.
4: Remus and Sirius (Harry Potter)- My actual favourite Wolfstar fic has disappeared and is a Greatest British Bake off AU where Remus has fibromyalgia so if you know where to find it please let me know.
BUT a close second is Text Talk by merlywhirls (https://archiveofourown.org/works/1651109/chapters/3501239)
If I’m having a shitty day I’m re-reading Text-talk. it’s that simple. It’s a wrong number AU where they muggles in the modern day and Remus is home schooled due to his health.
5: Boris and Theo (The Goldfinch)- They Fuck (it up) by colish3
( https://archiveofourown.org/works/33547123/chapters/83356504)
A gorgeous fic about Theo dealing with the aftermath of the book, and maybe accepting his feelings for Boris.
6: Ben and Devi (Never Have I ever)- all the magic we gave off by transfiguredtoad
Bevi trying their best to not still be into each other while in other relationships. Super addicting tbh.
6. favorite trope?
Wrong number! Enemies to Lovers! Fake Dating! There was only one bed! I’m a simple girl tbh. when writing I especially like writing about chronic illness but idk if that counts as a trope.
7. are you the kind of person to work on more than one wip?
Not successfully. If I start another fic the first one won’t be touched again til I’ve finished my new fic if ever again.
8. how long have you been writing for?
Since I was 14 so almost 9 years, but that has definitely not been continuous. I’ve gone years without writing anything.
9. do you tend to write more during the morning, afternoon, or evening?
I get an idea and write whenever I can until it’s either done or I’ve gotten distracted rather than having a set time of the day.
10. do you prefer to post your wip chapter by chapter, or do you prefer to wait until your wip is 100% finished before posting?
I prefer to finish everything first because I’ve found I won’t finish otherwise. Besides I like being able to go back and change stuff.
im tagging @furoruisa and @siriuslynotovermarauders 🙈 feel free to ignore this if it aint your thing. I also challenge anyone else who wants to give it a try.

i’ve read a lot of your soc fics on ao3, and i absolutely love them! i was wondering if there were any other books you’ve considered writing about, or if you just had some recommendations in general?
absolutely! and thank you so much!
so, i haven't read a ton lately, i'll be honest. there are lots of unread books on my shelf right now, but i keep reading fic... it's a dangerous cycle. but i do have some recommendations! and i will update this once i pull it together and pick up a book that i actually spent money on.
the invisible life of addie larue by v.e. schwab (it's so good 😭 literally, this book is like poetry. i love it. i won't be writing about it, only because there's nothing i can think of to write about. it's perfect.)
one for all by lillie lainoff (this is young adult ownvoices chronic illness rep AND it has swords AND it has pretty dresses. what more can you want?)
ninth house by leigh bardugo (i haven't finished this one, but omg. the vibes. recommend.)
hamlet by shakespeare (i know this is a sharp turn from the other books, but i genuinely love this book. i'm not a shakespeare fan by any means -- i actually don't like most of his work because i can't comprehend the writing -- but i do love this one... only because of ophelia. i feel like it's old news that lia from nothing's changed at all is super heavily influenced by ophelia at this point, but i'll say it again. like she won my heart when i had to write a ten page paper about how smart she was and how everyone did her wrong, and when i realized how she basically called the king and queen adulterous assholes in flower language. amazing.)
coraline by neil gaiman (everyone needs spooky children's book in their lives. it's short, too!)
caraval by stephanie garber (the way jacks has my heart. we don't have to talk about it... but like, we do? go read it.)
daughter of the pirate king by tricia levenseller (enemies to lovers pirate romance. pretty dresses and swords. amen.)
i'll give you the sun by jandy nelson (check the trigger warnings on this one. i'm mostly recommending because it is a WHOLESOME little sibling story with lgbtq+ rep, but there are parts that are not wholesome. like, it's kind of very sad. but it is wholesome, too. and i read this at fourteen and have not picked it up since, so i literally cannot give you details.)
so, like... nothing too crazy. i have read many more books than this, but the height of my bookworm phase was when i was a freshman in high school. i don't remember most of them, LOL.
#i feel like there's a trend here#the trend being that all of these main characters are just different versions of the same two archetypes#we'll talk about that when we talk about the jacks situation#but anyway! here is your list anon!#book recs

M/M romance recs
Here’s a list of my favourites! Organised by genre, with very broad summaries. All of them have HEA, all the m/m romances are the central ones.
Names in bold have POC protagonists, names in cursive have disabled protagonists (be it physical disability, mental illness or chronic illness). In series with multiple couples, it’s usually one or more.
Feel free to ask me about triggers for any of them!
Historical:
Soldier’s Scoundrel by Cat Sebastian
Disabled regency war vet aristocrat decides to hang around a self-proclaimed ex-criminal helping those who need help. Said ex-criminal tries not to be charmed, ends up catching feelings instead
The Lawrence Browne Affair by Cat Sebastian
Confidence artist grows a conscience and angers dangerous people, so he needs to pose as a secretary to a scientifically minded, but eccentric Lord. Really beautiful portrayal of people on autistic spectrum and anxiety.
The Ruin of a Rake by Cat Sebastian
Posh and straight-laced gentleman has to help a famous scoundrel aristocrat to restore his image after a raunchy novel supposedly based on his exploits gets published. Contains ridiculous amounts of adorable kittens, tasty pastries and also wonderful portrayal of chronic illnesses
Sins of the Cities by KJ Charles
Trilogy set in victorian London, during the horrible London Fog of 1873. Three wonderful and diverse couples (one is half-indian with dyspraxia, one is non-binary, one was born with partial arm, one is near-sighted), murder mystery, fake mediums, lost earls, intrigue! It’s so good
Wanted, a Gentleman by KJ Charles
A delightful and frankly hilarious regency romp through British countryside. An unlikely couple of men need to travel to Gretna Green to save a young girl from potentially dangerous marriage. One of the protagonists is a black ex-slave merchant and the book touches upon his experiences (very respectfully!)
Society of Gentlemen by KJ Charles
A Society of gentlemen who like other gentlemen, centered around Lord Richard Vane and his friends and acquitances. Set during the radical uprising during the Regency, it has everything- friendships and families, sedition, intrigue, bookstores and good wine, valets being the mightiest strategists and amazing lovable radicals. This trilogy is honestly my favourite thing EVER.
Think of England by KJ Charles
Wounded during the Boer war, seemingly because of treason and betrayal, Archie Curtis sets off to a countryside mansion to get to the bottom of the matter. Completely unprepared for the task, he teams up with Daniel da Silva, the elegant jewish poet, who is much more capable than he seems. Absolutely delightful <333
HISTORICAL PARANORMAL
Whyborne and Griffin series by Jordan L. Hawk
The adventures of a shy sorcerer linguistic nerd, his detective husband, the most badass lady archeologist (the actual love of my life) and more, as they save the world from otherworldly beings bent on destroying it. Will make you cry about found families, strong and wonderful friendships and broken people finding strength in each other. Has magic, archeology, monsters, reluctant travels, lesbian warrior fishes and the best ginger cat in the world.
Hexworld series by Jordan L. Hawk
Turn of the century New York witch detectives and their familiars must fight to uncover a conspiracy plan to change the world. Really amazing worldbuilding, the magic system is very cool and it will make you furious about the treatment of familiars. The familiars are, generally speaking, fucking hilarious.
A Charm of Magpies by KJ Charles
Filthy-mouthed dominant earl falls in love with a stubborn and heroic wizard, together they create magic. A lot of people want that magic though, and it gets ugly. First KJ book I’ve ever read and I fell in love instantly. Has two more books set in the same universe with different protagonists and those are also amazing. (Rag and Bone is the one with black protagonist)
A Death by Silver by Melissa Scott and Amy Griswold
University-era friends need to figure out their confused emotions, while investigating a murder that brings out bad memories. Very good and soft, with even a better sequel
Downtime by Tamara Allen
When in London for a case, FBI agent gets sent back in time to Victorian London. While there, he finds out magic is real. Decides that since he’s there anyway, might as well investigate who Jack the Ripper was. Very sweet and soft
Restless Spirits by Jordan L. Hawk
A medium and a scientist bent on proving said medium to be a fraud get chosen to be in a contest to prove which side is better. They end up having to team up to save lives of people around.
The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal by KJ Charles
Journalist and writer Robert Caldwell has been a close friend and lover of ghost hunter Simon Feximal for years and has been chronicling their adventures. Now, he finally writes the true story of their life together. Warning: this book will absolutely ruin you for years to come. You will be a mess whenever you think of the book and you will enjoy every second of it.
Green Men by KJ Charles
Set in the world of The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal. Only few years after WW1, Britain is still recovering from the war. Having lost an entire generation of youth and most of the sorcerers the country had, those left are completely unprepared for what’s to come. Wonderful characters, the softest romance I’ve read possibly ever and beautifully melancholic. Best KJ book, in my opinion.
CONTEMPORARY
Shadow of the Templar by M. Chandler
FBI agent and his team are tasked with catching a famous international art thief, they end up kinda sorta accidentally adopting him instead. One of the funniest series I’ve ever read, honestly.
Cut&Run by Abigail Roux and Madeleine Urban
The incredible adventures on an unlikely pair of FBI agents go from enemies to lovers. Includes serial killers, undercover luxury yacht trips, tiger trafficking, drugs, marine buddies and one of the genuinely best character developments I’ve read. Warning, the first book is a bit shit. The rest is absolutely incredible though.
The General and the Horse-lord by Sarah Black
Retired ex-military lovers need to figure out what to do with their relationship, now that they’re civillians. A soft look at older gay people still figuring out their sexuality.
The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic
Neil Josten is on the run from his mafia murderous father and gets signed up for a professional college sports team, while people are still after him. It’s a really powerful emotional journey, but contains a large amount of a very triggering content, so be safe please.
CONTEMPORARY PARANORMAL
THIRDS series by Charlie Cochet
FBI like team consisting of shifters and their partners must investigate conspiracy and threats against the new shifter population. Ridiculously hilarious at times, absolutely heartbreaking at other.
Deep Magic by Gillian St. Kevern
A story steeped in welsh folklore, with beautiful mermaid princes and knights who will save them. Shows the power stories have to change our lives. Plus it’s free so what are you waiting for?
Psycop series by Jordan Castillo Price
A medium detective and his partner investigate a series of supernatural crimes. People are horrible, corporations are horrible, ghosts are horrible and lbr, everything is kinda horrible, but it gets better.
Wriggle and Sparkle by Megan Derr
The adventures of Lynn the Kraken shifter and Anderson the unicorn shifters, their detective careers, and their life together. Honestly adorable. And when I say adorable, I mean sparkles-on-rainbow-filled-cupcake kind of adorable. Also, Lynn’s gender-presentation is fluid and it’s absolutely wonderful.
FANTASY
Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat
Prince gets betrayed and sent as a slave to his sworn enemy, they end up working together to save their countries and fall in love. The best enemies to lovers example. Has amazing and complex politics, unreliable narrator and great worldbuilding. You’ve probably already heard of this book, but if you’re worried about triggers, please ask someone who actually read it, because there’s a lot of misinformation flying around.
Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling
The fantasy series of your dreams. There is ancient evil being revived, war is coming, everyone is bisexual and the kingdom is ruled by an ancient line of warrior queens. Everyone is wonderful and charming, characters are complex and the story will make you laugh and cry.
The God Eaters by Jesse Hajicek
Western-style world, where gods are reborn as humans, and one of them tried to control the whole world. It doesn’t go exactly as he planned.
Lord of the White Hell by Ginn Hale
Teenage genius inventor gets accepted to a prestigious boarding school in enemy territory. His room-mate might be demon-possesed and there’s some evil magic lurking around.
Champion of the Scarlet Wolf by Ginn Hale
Somewhat sequel to Lord of the White Hell. Disgraced noble travels to a faraway country, where he saves an injured dog. Turns out the dog isn’t just a dog, magic is everywhere around them and there’s a witch war coming.
Fairytales Slashed vol. 1 by Megan Derr
A collection of gay fairy tales. All kinds of stories with all kinds of characters (my favourite one is the one with the jester <333)
Dance with the Devil by Megan Derr
Adventures of half-ghost detective, his demon husband, imp partner, witch colleague and a vampire. Really cute and intriguing, with mysteries and conspiracies.
Dance in the Dark by Megan Derr
Set in the same universe as Dance with the Devil (there’s an entire series). Human son of a dracula becomes a detective, moves out to the city to help others, and gains a lover who only visits him in the dark.
The Rapier Brothers by Megan Derr
A collection of short stories centered around swordsmen. Three different couples, three really cute stories. Love it.

What do you do when you feel sad? حد سأل كده علي quora و دي كانت بعض من الاجابات عشان منساش والاقي حاجة اعملها وانا زعلانه😌  Scott Danzig, Software Engineer at Lockheed Martin Written Feb 13, 2014 Originally Answered: If you are sad, what do you do to cheer yourself up? SLEEP  Quite honestly, the most underrated cure for the gloomies is a good night's sleep. Often, a lack of sleep has a lot to do with WHY you're sad. Now, it's not going to work for everyone, but it's powerful. My experience is this: There was one day where all I wanted to do was sit on the couch. I was tired, and upset at a lot of things. I just didn't care. I knew it was unlike me to be this way. I'm nearly always the one that's always happy. But that day, I did not care about anything. I couldn't be motivated to do anything. I just wanted to sit there and be left alone. That was my one very small window into what clinical depression was all about. I was very worried about how long this feeling would go on. I finally brought myself to do one thing, and one thing only. Go to bed. I woke up the next morning able to smile. It was all gone, and I had slept so well. I had the energy to do whatever I wanted. I still remember what went through my head, but it simply no longer affected me. What a difference a good night's sleep makes! Now, I'm not going to pretend this is some sort of cure for clinical depression. While maybe I briefly experienced something similar, they're affected by a chemical imbalance in the brain that keeps them from recovering. They usually need medical help for that. But for everyone else, don't underestimate how important sleep can be on your general day to day mindset. Get enough sleep, and try not to dwell on anything too much until you've had a chance to "sleep on it". Promise yourself that after you wake up, you can feel however you want, but give your body a chance to help you first... to dull the pain, and make the world seem just a bit better. Oh, and looking at pictures of my cat Luna helps too :) If you’re interested in seeing more of Luna’s appearances on Quora, check out my blog, Luna's Scrapbook!  Max Sim Li Chien, Anthropology Enthusiast, Puzzle Lover, Aesthetique Nitpicker Written Feb 12, 2014 Originally Answered: If you are sad, what do you do to cheer yourself up? Make good art. Neil Gaiman Addresses the University of the Arts Class of 2012 "Life is sometimes hard. Things go wrong, in life and in love and in business and in friendship and in health and in all the other ways that life can go wrong. And when things get tough, this is what you should do. Make good art. I'm serious. Husband runs off with a politician? Make good art. Leg crushed and then eaten by mutated boa constrictor? Make good art. IRS on your trail? Make good art. Cat exploded? Make good art. Somebody on the Internet thinks what you do is stupid or evil or it's all been done before? Make good art. Probably things will work out somehow, and eventually time will take the sting away, but that doesn't matter. Do what only you do best. Make good art. Make it on the good days too." And so one day when I was feeling down, I made this wallpaper to boost my morale:  Nikitasha Giriyan, Getting stronger by each passing day.. Written Apr 29, 2016 Originally Answered: What you do when you are sad? Distraction is the best way to take your mind off the sadness. Indulge yourself in something that you absolutely love doing,unhappy thoughts would immediately disappear behind the dark curtains of your mind. The following are some ways that could help,as they have never failed to heal me . i.e. By, Reading a good book.Listening to happy music.Exercising/Jogging/dancing/Yoga.Shopping.Penning down thoughts.Doodling/Painting.Singing at the top of your voice.Meditating. Cheers! :)  Sourabh Shubham, Self proclaimed expert when Sadness is concerned Written Feb 6 Originally Answered: What do you when you are sad? Answer to this question depends mostly on the situation, but in most of the cases, I try to get myself involved in some other task to forget about the situation which made me sad in the first place. But if the situation is too dark to forget, it becomes almost necessary to analyze it. Once I was sad because I was not able to score good in an exam. Later, I realized that feeling sad about it won’t help. I took it as a motivation to work hard in other exams. Then there was a time when I broke my arm while playing football. I felt pain. I was sad because I knew that I will lose 1 month precious time without using my arm. Pain and sorrow, both were complementary, but in the end they vanished. But there are some situations in which you don’t have any control. It is natural to feel bad about such situations. Death of a loved one, discovery of a chronic disease,accidents, etc. are not in our hand. One simply cannot overcome such situations easily. I may be too inexperienced to speak anything about such situations, but whatever I have experienced yet in my life, I believe that TIME will heal absolutely anything. The way we look at a situation will define the healing factor. Be strong, put a brave smile and soon you will see darkness fading away.   Ayush Jain, Energy Geek Written Jun 23, 2014 Originally Answered: What could I do when I am sad? Here are sme things u can do..  Do something good for someone else, even though you may not want to. Do a favour, help them find something, give them an item which will help them in some way. Start the flow of positive energy.  Eat the best chocolate you can get your hands on. In bed. Or in the bath.  Turn up music you really love. Play it so loudly that it soaks in through your skin. Dance in your pyjamas. Feel the pain lift.  Have a romance in your head.  Volunteer.  Buy a remote control for your camera & dip your toes into the pool of narcissism.  Call a friend & ask them if they want to have a slumber party.  Throw yourself head-first into a creative project. Something that you’re excited about but which feels a little too big for you. You’ll be so consumed by it that it will fuel you for ages.  Do the splits. Or at least try. (Be gentle though!)  Sing. Loudly. Badly. Off-key. Whatever you like. It works. The last time I was on my way somewhere really nerve-wracking, I was in a cab. The radio was playing & I was so anxious that the only way I could distract myself was by singing along. Loudly. The driver probably thought I was a total nut but I didn’t care & it did the trick!  Cover your entire body in cocoa butter & fall asleep.  Drink 2 litres of fizzy drink (pop, soda, you know) & stay up until sunrise.  Write a list of things that you appreciate right now, in the present moment. Focus on each of them & let the love inside you well up. Even when things appear to be going really, really badly, there are always things to be happy about. (That’s one of the reasons why we do Things I Love Thursday — to help bring your attention back to the positive.)  Indulge in your “guilty pleasures”, whatever they are. (Old episodes of America’s Next Top Model, ginger ale, chocolate cake, romantic comedies, etc.)  Send a text message to one of the most interesting people you know — maybe someone you don’t know that well, just to say hello.  Order delivery food, just to bask in the glory of the fact that if you pay people, they will come to your door. With food. Warm, good food. What an age we live in, huh?  Look through old photos. With a friend if possible. If it’s an old friend, you can reminisce (“Oh my god, do you remember when we did that?!”), & if it’s a new friend, you can tell grand stories (“Well, let me tell you about this guy…”).  Listen to old Motown hits. Come up with dance moves. Wear something sparkly & work it out. (DJ Z-Trip’s Motown Breakdown is an excellent time, too.)  Write a gruellingly personal entry for your blog dissecting every aspect of the situation which has upset you so much. Post it, don’t post it, whatever, just get it out of your system.  Plan a holiday.  Write a ridiculous online dating profile & marvel at the people who come out of the woodwork. (“Oh, a threesome with you & your wife in New Jersey? Sign me up!”)  Spend an hour in your variety store of choice, set yourself a budget ($20?) & buy some junk. Lip treatments, candy, maybe an exfoliating scrub… Then go home & play with your new purchases. There’s a reason it’s called retail therapy, you know (though of course, it doesn’t last).  Wear a fake moustache all day.  Think up nicknames for all your friends, then send them each postcards to alert them.  Think back on the last really good sex you had. Think about it for an hour. Then do something else.  Go out for a milkshake.  Appreciate the dinosaur bones at your favourite museum.  Grab a friend, dress up like tourists & go & do all the really schlocky things on offer in your city. Take LOTS of photos, & be sure to flash the peace sign in 70% of them.  Stick little crystals on something you use every day. (Wallet, light-switch, key-ring, boots?)  Buy a new pair of sunglasses or non-prescription frames. It’s a super-easy (& often relatively cheap) way to evolve your look. Plus sunglasses make for excellent on-the-fly disguises.  Go to a yoga class. Surrender & breathe deep.  Put on your favourite pair of high heels & walk up & down your bedroom/hallway doing your best Miss J impersonation. Have a friend or neighbour who is willing to humour you offer critique. “Girl, you walk like a busted-down freight-train.”  Write multiple lists of everything you want. Material possessions, relationships, work, lifestyle, everything. Pin them up by your door so you see them all the time.  Go through Urban Dictionary & find some fun/ridiculous new words to add to your vocabulary.  Make yourself the biggest ice-cream sundae you’ve ever seen. Decorate it with hot fudge sauce, whipped cream, sprinkles, nonpareils, whatever you like. Take a photo. Give it a name (“Jane’s Orgasmatron Cardiac Arrest Sundae”). Devour. Maybe without using your hands. Take a photo of that too.  Get your eyebrows shaped.  Spend an hour in a department store sniffing perfume samples. When you find something you like, spray it on a card & drop it in your purse.  Try break-dancing.  Watch videos of flamboyant, successful people like Elton John or Michael Jackson & marvel.  Eat animal crackers.  Drink through a straw all day. If you get your hands on a straw which matches your outfit, so much the better.  Plan a party with a theme that makes you feel really, really happy.  Write a letter to yourself in the future. Then hide it. Maybe in the pocket of a coat you never, ever wear.  Leave the house wearing just fabulous lingerie underneath a coat. With heels. (Note: if you are a man you may get accused of being a flasher if you do this. The world is cruel sometimes.)  Pull a Kid CuDi & announce your retirement from the world of something. Like cooking, or vocal communication. Announce your unretirement whenever you feel like it.  Buy a harmonica & annoy the hell out of everyone while you learn how to play it.  Go wig shopping.  Choose a festival (SXSW? Burning Man? Coachella? Wave-Gotik-Treffen?) to go to, invite some friends, & start making plans.  Add diamantes to your manicure.  Hula hoop.  Buy some really good art for your walls. Posters, prints, original artwork or other. If you’re feeling impoverished, go to the library, check out some art books, then take huge, great quality photocopies at a copy shop.  Listen to Never Better by P.O.S. from start to finish & revel in what a great album it really is.  Load up your ipod & go for a walk through your favourite park.  Visit a cool toy store & make your friend a surprise package.  Reach out to the people who inspire you but who don’t know you exist.  Write the birthdays of your personal heroes in your planner & work out a way to honour them on that day.  Pie.  Colour your hair. (You can always dye it back.)  Notice where you hold tension in your body, & let it go.  Visit some kind of religious institution & observe a service.  Bake heart- or bunny-shaped cookies. Give them away.  Be graceful.  Be graceless.  Make a video diary.  Answer questions with questions.  Try on a pair of really, really expensive shoes & act like you’ll be back tomorrow, but you’re just going to go home & think about it. (Bonus points: take a photo of you in them. Often you will need to be stealthy about this but it’s worth doing.)  Record yourself trying to recite the alphabet while vigorously brushing your teeth.  Flirt with entirely inappropriate people.  Sing into your friend’s answering machine. (If you’re in the USA & use Slydial, it will take you straight to their voicemail.)  Pour pancakes in the shape of your initials. Eat them while watching aerobics on television.  Make friends with your neighbours.  Think about how great it would be to name a shaggy dog “Toupee”.  Go to an audition just for the experience.  Tell someone cute, “You’re cute”.  Sit in a sauna with a stack of fashion magazines & sweat it out.  Find a secret place with a great view. Like a tree, or a rooftop, or a hill.  Go & see a musical (or just rent one).  Be optimistic.  Buy ridiculous slippers.  Make a list of the things you want to do to celebrate the upcoming season.  Lie down in the sunshine.  Pretend to be a dancer in a music video as you perform mundane tasks. Jiggle your way from the bathroom to the kitchen, shake it while you wait for your toast to pop, booty bump while you pick an outfit.  Go to an aquarium & take photos of the jellyfish.  Watch movies you used to love as a child.  Book a karaoke room with friends & sing your heart out.  Make a list of practical, actionable ways you can improve your situation.  Start keeping a dream journal & write down their supposed meanings, too.  See if you can develop an appreciation for a band or a style of music you’ve never liked before.  Write a play.  Go to vintage stores looking for fabulous old typewriters.  Write the stuff you like about your body onyour body with a marker.  Change your ring-tone to the sound of one of your friends laughing hysterically.  Watch videos of Robin Williams or Eddie Murphy.  Listen to Divine Harvest by The Mae Shi.Don’t be worried, everything will turn out fine. Don’t be worried, friend just put your hand in mine.  Take a nap with your head at the other end of the bed.  Walk around a garden centre & buy a colourful plant. Give it a name.  Go somewhere that people walk their dogs & make friends with some fluffy creatures.  Hug your friends.  Tell someone everything.  Believe that everything is always getting better.  Fareeha Shams, Like A dandelion up through the pavement, I persist. Updated Aug 15, 2016 Originally Answered: What should I do when I feel sad? Here on quora, I give very selective replies to the A2As I receive because I don't want to mess up anybody's life. Every thing generally right can specifically go real wrong. I try put myself in the shoes of the person asking me the question. Your question is one of the very 'specific' types. I don’t know you and so I cannot judge what exactly will take you out of the gloom. Anyways I will try to help you with what I do when I get sad because, "One is very sad if one feels an urge to write about it." I'm telling you what I do when I feel sad. 1- If there is some reason behind my sadness, I go to some place alone and try to feel the emotion completely. I get one good cry. I don't shy away from the situation instead I let it flow. Once you have cried your heart out, you can think clearer. As  2-  I write. I have been writing about my hurts when the only one I had were hurt ankles. I have a journal so I write and express everything. I don't fake it up in my journal. It knows all the darkness and all the truth about me. If you think keeping such a journal is not so private and you have some sneaky people around. One can always have an online journal. It is personal. Nobody reads your private stuff if you set up a good privacy settings and strong password. Here is a link to one of a kind of online journals : online journal & private diary 3-  I try to get the hell out. In fresh air. Any place. Not crowded and green will serve the purpose. Nature is a healer in its own way. So I will suggest you to use your bicycle and go to the nearest park. Sit alone for a while. Silent and just breathe. You will feel better. 4-  I talk to my friends about my issues quite less,not that I don’t trust them, it is just that I don’t wanna be a nag. But friends are one blessing. Talk to them.Even if you cannot share things or rest, you can always go out with them or have a sleepover. Such activities do help in taking your mind off of certain issues. 5- I read quotes at good reads. About hope, happiness, optimism. The words of the great and learned do magic to me. I dont know if you are an avid reader. But do read quotes on these topics, It gives you a new reason to look forward. Below is the link. Popular Quotes 6-  Sing, Dance or play with your pet. All this reduces stress levels. Here is a video to explain this more. sing dance for depression 7-  Draw. Art is a great form of therapy. If you are good at drawing make something of your own. Creativity is happiness. If you suck at drawing color and look at good paintings. like that of blooming flowers, mountains rivers. It gives such pleasure. 8-  Eat chocolates or any other food that makes you happy. Give yourself a treat every once in a while. 9-  Meditate. Not only when sad but meditate very often. It will not only make you feel better but also is good fof general well being. Just know that being sad sometimes is a part of being human but staying sad for quite long is not fine. If your condition is not improving. I had suggest you seek medical help.

by JohnlockedCameos
At age twenty-eight, Anthony J Crowley didn't expect to spend his days working his ass off in one of London's drearier pubs for only minimum wage. He didn't expect to still be living in a cluttered flat, and he definitely didn't expect to still be single.
But then one night, he and his best friend and co-worker Anathema Device, go out to a club and Crowley meets a particular blond bookshop owner who goes by the name Aziraphale.
And spending time with Aziraphale makes Crowley think that maybe his life isn't so bad.
