writing is just signing up to emotionally hurt yourself for fun, and if that’s not dedication idk what is

writing is great because i get to control the chaos, unlike my real life.

Well if that ain't the damn truth...

i swear all writers are mentally ill. y'all keep putting your "beloved" characters through the most traumatic experiences ever just to feel something.

That's not entirely true - yes we are mentally ill but we keep putting our babies through it because we're traumatized and we all want to see that it's possible to get through it ourselves. We're Google Maps-ing our own way through the pain like a messed-up dress-rehearsal.

You leave me and my mopey doom/space/stoner/psychedelic metal playlists alone. If I want to hide in a dark room and listen to Spaceslug and Khemmis, then by the gods I shall.

*confused screaming* I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING BUT IT'S WORKING AND I'M TOO AFRAID TO ASK WHY

Me, dragging out an alien romance for literally DOZENS of chapters and peppering in TONS of sweet, awkward, hilarious moments that are simultaneously simmering with sexual tension like a cup of oatmeal about to go nuclear in the microwave, knowing The Moment is coming and STILL stringing the reader along because I am a sadist and a horrible person:

My Dear Husband, listening to me cackle from the other room as I'm hunched over the keyboard like the manic, demented witch I am:

He FEARS. But not to worry, he's not in any danger 😉

What do you mean "old"?? I'm still running the damn thing! I have a book that I update EVERY SINGLE WEEK

Wattpad is kind of fun, okay? I don't know any people in real life so I've come to rely on strangers from the interwebs for validation and feedback. Let an old broad do her thing.
