One thing that’s hard to accept about writing (or any hobby, really) is that the productivity level won’t be the same from month to month. I wrote 100k words last month and I’m proud of myself for that! But this month is looking like I may not even reach 20k. And that doesn’t mean I don’t love my stories any less. It doesn’t mean that I don’t love writing. It’s that I’m busy and tired and there are things in my life outside of writing that demand my attention. 

Despite knowing that writing is supposed to be a hobby, I feel guilty when i don’t reach high word counts but it’s gonna be okay!! It’s gonna be fine because I still love it more than I did the day before!!! I just don’t have all the time in the world right now.

hot take: let’s normalize artists being proud of themselves and their work. we’re allowed to think we did a kickass job on something we worked hard on. humility shouldn’t equal self deprecation

dear god the sheer magic of being so invested in a book you just sit and read half of it feverishly without any ability to stop, just gulping down word after word like it’s water in a desert and your eyes aren’t fast enough for your mind and when you reach the last page you look up and realize you’re not decades and miles away but in the space of your own room,,,, truly unmatched by any other human experience

*missing the charging port on my phone* don’t think about it don’t think about it don’t think about it

my two favourite things about this

  • everyone knows what this is
  • the scene was an adaptation of a scene from the original novel where instead of a charging port on a phone, it’s a winding key in a pocketwatch. I like to imagine people having this exact same kind of thought when they missed the watch keyhole 100 years ago

*person from the 1800's missing the pocket watch keyhole* don't think about it don't think about it don't think about it
