*main character becomes a villain* oh my GOD… oh MY GOd do that again
REBLOG if you have amazing, talented WRITER friends.
Because I certainly do, and I love every single one of them and their work.
poetic beauty
the poetic beauty i believe in is a writer’s naked voice describing the world in the only possible way, originality, emptying the one brain like popcorn on the stove, bubbling up, rising into the clouds through a skylight, into the stars like the eyes of a child, into the unending night and back again to a toaster, to a lightswitch, to a fan you keep on for more than air,
it’s the greatest thing we ever made, and someday we’ll unmake it, with a look, we’ll say: jesus, do you remember when language made us mad, crazy, gone like a bat in the daytime?
yes yes yes we remember,
they were disastrous, letters, words, lines were a plague disguised, they were poison in the cake, tsk tsk tsk no,
it’ll be a great act, we’ll shame ourselves, the old us,
but when nobody’s watching, in bed when the outlights are on and the inlights are off,
we’ll pull a book of poetry from under the pillow,
we’ll finger the soft pages and our eyes will glow like burning diamonds, the words the words the words will dance like peacocks, irresisitble in the hopeless expanse, the hopeful warmth of a blanket, tomorrow, there’s that, and yesterday too, but the words have both by the legs,
the words in your head are killers, are lovers, are the flight of a flightless creature tasting the sky.
when faced with the decision to write a poem or not write a poem, i’m not sure how to justify the latter.
Young Adult vs. New Adult
What’s the Difference, Anyway?
So many people seem to think YA and NA are the same thing, or NA is YA but with the sex. Have a bullet list from someone who’s tired of seeing them lumped into the same category.
Young Adult
the target audience is 12 to 18 years old
the protagonists are usually kiddos that still live at home and need their parents’ signatures on official documents
themes commonly work with personal relationships on an emotional level, and do a lot of coming-of-age/coming-into-ones-own-identity
sex, swearing, and violence are all watered down for a younger audience
New Adult
the target audience is 18 to 30 years old
the protagonists are of the moving-out age and can start making the big decisions on their own
themes commonly encompass the overall lifestyle shift of taking on adult responsibilities, moving away from home, and dealing with the consequences of the aforementioned big decisions
there is potential the sex, and the swearing, and the violence
These are incomplete lists, but the point is please, please, please stop equating these two different, but equally valuable, genres.
“A man can’t be raped or abused by a woman-”
“Men are physically stronger than women so they can take abuse-”
“I bet he enjoyed it-“
“Male rape is less common so it doesn’t matter-”
“You’re not a true feminist if you address male problems too-“
“They’re men. They’ll get over it-“
The writer's blessing:
May you write 1,500 words with ease. May your characters be lively and not cardboard. May you need little editing. May your muse visit you as soon as you sit. May the Internet not distract you much. May your phone lie dormant while you write.
The Greek Clique is currently freaking out. I'm amongst them😱😱😱
Proving a point to my boyfriend.
PLEASE REBLOG if you (male or female) believe it is perfectly okay and natural for a guy of any age to cry

important PSA about when your car is smoking
like literally smoking from the engine
white and you smell pancakes? it’s the coolant. panic and pull over, but you’ll live
a slight blue tinge? it’s the oil. panic and pull over, but you’ll live
grey, looks like fire smoke? gasoline; the most combustable and dangerous. pull over and leave the vehicle, pray.
sharing because i didn’t know this when my car started smoking white yesterday and i was so afraid for my life.
When a plot twist is so cleverly done that you just close your book and stare at the wall for a while.

“There are just fewer girls in bands. Even in local scenes there are less girls (…) I want there to be more Lynns, more Jennas, more Tays and more Hayleys out there, because they’re all so cool” - Chrissy Costanza (Rocksound Issue 217 | September 2016)
