Gay culture is wishing you could go all the way back and be yourself from the beginning
Yo, I really dont think straight people understand that a lot of us were robbed 15-20 years of our lives if you’re lucky and didn’t commit suicide or stay in the closet untik you were in your 30’s, 40’s or later.
“writers always know exactly where they are going with their work!”

“no writer does anything by mistake, it’s all very strategic”

“they use symbolism in everything. for example, a simple sentence symbolises directness and-”

The best moments in writing is when you discover you did something absolutely genius by complete accident.
A miscellaneous world-building detail from ten chapters earlier accidentally saved a character’s life once
“Omg this line is genius and the best reference!” “Thank you I did that entirely on purpose!!” *sweats*
READER: “(points out symbolism and foreshadowing and depth)”
AUTHOR:
I once literally flipped a coin to decide which character was going to die in a multi-award-nominated novel.
I was once rereading a manuscript before editing it and discovered that in an early chapter I’d put in a line without any forethought that ended up aligning perfectly the plot and is now my favorite line in the entire book even though when I wrote that sentence I hadn’t even come up with that plot point yet.
In my book series, I have done various things on accident and then, looking back, yelled BRILLIANT and went with it. And, often times, my characters just DECIDE things, like one character was in love with another and I was “WHAT?” but went with it because it was actually a VERY good story and made some of the plot stuff that much more interesting.
If you ever wanted to know my creative process for writing, congratulations, this is it.
Writing a story like
There’s an author’s note in an Isaac Asimov short story collection - Isaac Asimov, mind you - and I can’t for the life of me remember which it was because my mom has a billion of them, but basically he went to a lecture on his books where the teaccher was lecturing on all the symbolism and themes and such and Asimovewent up to him and was just like “Uhhhh…. I didn’t put any of that in? It just…. no? Not really?”
And the lecturer legit looked ISAAC FUCKING ASIMOV straight in the eye and said, “What do you know, sir? You’re just the author.”
And Asimov described it as being a fairly profound moment in his career.
idea: write a story but have it be completely dictated by a set of dnd dice
I love this so much that I can’t even put into words how much I love it. Thank you, Tom Hodges (wherever you are), for creating itm
Once again, Marvel ruins itself by catering to SJWs
This is fan art but it’s ok we can’t all be the smart ones. Also Marvel has literally always catered to “sjws” and have always featured anti-authority pro-egalitarian storylines so you obviously also know nothing about Marvel, but once again, we can’t all be the smart ones.
The Captain America I know would do this. The same man who told us that America works not because we don’t constantly question our government and demand better, but because we do.
can someone post that picture of captain america vs the patriot? i cant find it
whats the verdict on bringing back the concept of having huge fucking folders of specifically categorised reaction images in 2018 so everybody can stop using the same handful of pictures of eric andre and marge simpson for basically every mood
why would you say something so true that you shouldnt say it?
