Do yall also have these mutuals that you just??? Grew really fond of?? Like, you never properly talk to them and all you do is like each other’s posts but whenever you see them on your dash you’re like “hello sunshine, I hope you’re drinking lots of water and being happy your health and wellbeing is so important to me” and I hope that’s not weird because honestly that’s me all the time
Never ever let anyone own you and tell you what to do with your body. Or tell you that you look wrong. Or tell you that you should eat less, because you look fat. Or mock you to eat more, because you look too skinny. Or tell you what kind of clothes you should just be wearing. Do what you want to do. You are yours, and your body is yours and yours alone.
Honestly this is something I don’t think gets said enough. Stuck on a hard scene? Write a summary or description of it for now. Not sure where things are going? Write whatever comes to your head. Let your brain take you wherever it decides to go. Just get to the end. You hear all the time that first drafts are supposed to suck, because they are. Because you can fill in those hard scenes later, you can rewrite the story a million times to make it better, but you can’t rewrite or fill in what doesn’t already exist. So, yes. Skip the hard parts for now. Don’t let them drag you down. Get to the end. There’s something so powerful about finishing a draft, even if its rudimentary. Get to the end.
(Just a note to say ask box is open. I’m running low on ideas at the moment so feel free. I was also asked if you can use my prompts, snippets too, and if I’d like to be tagged in any works based on them, the answer is a big fat glowing yes!)
– “If you touch me again I’m going to start cutting off fingers.”
– “I know you’re not used to following the rules, but when I say don’t do the thing it means don’t do the thing! Now we’re going to die!”
– “I think you ought to take up manners as part of your training.“
– “You’re broken, heartless,” the hero spat. “Heaven help us, but I’m going to help fix you. Maybe there is a heart in that chest of yours if I look hard enough.”
– “I’ll walk away from a fight, sure, but there’s not a chance in hell that I’ll run from one.”
