Some of the best writing advice I ever got was if you’re stuck on a scene or a line, the problem is actually about 10 lines back and that’s saved me from writer’s block so many times.

I feel like I need an elaborate explanation

Often times, I find myself stuck on what a character should say next or what should happen in a scene to connect A to B or so on. When this happens, I fall into the trap of writing and rewriting the same few lines over and over, and becoming more and more dissatisfied every time until I give up. 

But problem is almost never actually whatever line I’m trying to write at the moment; the issue is the stuff leading up to the line. Maybe there are structural issues with the set up, maybe I wrote a bit of dialogue that was out of character leading to a discussion that doesn’t make sense, maybe I’m missing a vital piece of exposition or expositing too much. It could be a lot of things, but the important part of the advice is to look back and be willing to consider changes to something earlier in the work (even if you’re really attached to like a piece of dialogue or a particular sentence or something) instead of trying to find a way to force out a scene that’s not working.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for explaining!

This is really helpful!

Woah! I never thought about that! Thanks!

crows have been documented holding ‘funerals’ for many years. however, researchers suggest that they may not be mourning; evidence indicates that crows may be examining the body & surrounding area for potential threats to the rest of the flock.

So it’s not a funeral…

…….it’s a fucking autopsy and criminal investigation.

You might even call it

a murder investigation.

This is the thing that has made my sickness weekend worth surviving.

The one major “Scorpio” thing I do is hold grudges.

There is a person who I haven’t really talked to since high school but she was one of my best friends. And I remember when she started dating this guy in our junior (I think?) year and she was so fucking happy. Like it was adorable. And they were dating for a few years after high school too and I was so happy for her.

And then I found out from another friend who was still in connection with her that this guy had dumped her with a really stupid excuse

And I hadn’t talked to this girl in like 3 years and immediately I was ready to throw down

Like Fuck this guy who does he think he is?!

And it’s been like 4 years since then and I still get mad when I see his name or anything! Like I haven’t spoken to her in like 7 years! And this guy dumped her like 4 years ago!! And I still don’t like him!!!! I don’t even know her anymore and that residual friend energy has me ready to punch some guy for something he did 3 or 4 years ago

I don’t even know I just can’t let it go

i am shook to my goddamn CORE. THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE

peak LGBT ally is robert pattinson and taylor lautner kissing each other so that kristen stewart didn’t have to be straight live on TV

OKAY BUT LOOK AT HER FACE! LOOK AT HOW HAPPY SHE IS THAT HES NOT MAKING HER GO THROUGH WITH WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT


The movies might have sucked, but the actors have redeeming qualities

every single thing robert pattinson ever does is intentionally genetically engineered to make stephenie meyer’s mormon blood boil hot enough for her to feel the constant neverending pain he experienced having to make and promote her movies for all those years. this is more than lgbt allyship. this is revenge.

SORRY GIRLS

Just thinking about people making year-end summaries of their accomplishments and also about reasons to keep yourself alive through the next year. Sorry, it’s a bit of a sappy comic.

Armageddon is one of the few DVDs I didn’t sell because Ben Affleck on the commentary track is relentless. Below is the clip of the commentary from where this tidbit of trivia came from. Please take a moment to witness the magic.

this is so fucking funny

“aim the drill at the ground and turn it on”

This is the funniest fucking shit in the world, I gotta find this DVD and listen to the whole commentary

(tr*nny is short for transmission in this context)
