I want to be very clear: I did schedule this to post on Easter weekend

why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

no one tell him

This is it, lads. The post that started us on this path 9 years ago.

I sure hope no one told him.

What a year this week has been.

It’s Monday.

It sure as hell is.

The earlier in the day Monday you reblog the funnier this gets

The earlier in the year on a Monday you reblog this gets even funnier

In order to be a writer, you must W.R.I.T.E!

W: Whine with every word you write

R: Reread your past writing before reevaluating your life

I: Intensely daydream

T: Try not to get distracted by Tumblr

E: Edit paragraphs obsessively

Ask box etiquette

Just a reminder that my ask box is not a place to complain about other users/writers, nor is it a place to ask me to bug other writers for updates. End of story.

I understand that a lack of updates can be frustrating but the writers behind the fics are real people with jobs, hobbies, families, friends, and a whole life going on. If you want updates, I encourage kudosing, commenting, and reccing their work, engaging with their posts, etc. in a respectful way. This is a community, not a content factory.

Best trick I ever picked up. Seriously.

I have also learned this is great for [PICK A COOL NAME FOR A SHIP] and [LOOK UP THE FACTS ABOUT OXYGEN LEVELS] and [WHAT’S THE WORD] and [DOUBLECHECK CHARACTER’S EYE COLOR] and ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

Anything that isn’t critical in the moment, and could be filled in later while I’m currently trying to burn through writing pages that will be lost if I don’t get them out right now? Brackets.

This is seriously the best advice, and it really helps put it into perspective that the first draft is just that- a draft. There’s no reason to agonize over a particularly tricky bit of writing when you could just leave it in brackets and skip to the good parts, the parts you’ve visualized. I also use brackets for [fact-check this], [use a stronger verb], [is this in character?] and other notes as I write, just so I don’t forget what I want to work on when I go back and edit. 

Note the good sense of [brackets] not (parentheses).

Parentheses AKA round brackets can appear in fiction, usually as an afterthought in a character's thoughts or narration (as I saw them used just recently), but square brackets hardly ever do.
