ethanaboutnothing replied to your post: This story isn’t really going the way I want it too, but I’m in too deep.
OH IS IT REALLY NOT GOING THE WAY YOU WANT IT TOO? DOES THAT MEAN YOU’RE IN TO DEEP
I don’t even know what this means but everything hurts and I’m trying to start over but failing so maybe I’ll just go with my original idea I’m just freaking out...
This story isn't really going the way I want it...

Slushkiller - On Rejection, Acceptance, and Poor... →
That’s assuming we got to page 27. I don’t, always. Nobody does who knows what they’re doing. I frequently see denunciations from writers who say an editor can’t possibly judge their novel from three chapters and an outline. Sure we can, even if the chapters are short and the first one’s atypical. In many cases, three pages are enough. You don’t have to drink the entire carton of milk in order...

On Writing. (A bit long. Sorry.)
neil-gaiman:
I got up this morning, and read the thirty or so questions that people had left in the last 8 hours. And apart from the few that wanted to tell me that, honestly, there’s nothing in the whole world like a photo of a gentleman holding a small yellow chainsaw, most of the rest of them were writing questions, about how you start writing and how you continue, and how you keep going when...

On Shared Interests
ramblingsarah:
My threshold for boredom is preposterously low, so the only people in my life are the fascinating kind. As such, if I care about you and you care about it, I know that it must be interesting; do not doubt that I am interested in it.
I might not love it, though. I might not make it my thing.
Maybe I will! Maybe you read Tolkien to me when I’m 7, and I stay up past my bedtime...

Sex, Uneducated
kateordie:
This morning, I put out a call for Sex Ed horror stories from former and current teens, after reading about Utah’s decision to adopt an abstinence-only policy when it comes to teaching about sexual health. Of course, that’s ridiculous - but not as crazy as some of these testimonials. Read on, it’s fascinating.
