Do you ever find things you wrote when you were little and just really want to die a little?

Me at age 11: “I am a sea of feelings. I am an emocean.”

Emocean underlined three times

11 year old you is a fucking genius 

This is how I’m gonna introduce myself now:

I’m an emocean

Twitter really said "you've read 300 posts time to go touch grass"

Bizarre. :/

Things to say about your writing instead of “this is so bad”

• My writing doesn’t have to be perfect all the time
• The dialogue in this scene feels stale (or another adjective), but I can revise that later
• The descriptions lack specificity (or another issue), but I can revise that later
• The [another specific craft element] isn’t working the way I’d hoped, but I can revise that later
• I don’t feel like I can objectively judge my work at this current moment
• I’m not happy with my writing right now, but that doesn’t mean I’ll feel this way forever
• I’ll reread this writing at a later time and move on for now
• This scene isn’t turning out how I’d pictured in my head, but I can accept that for now and tweak it later
• I trust myself to edit this in the future
• I’m afraid people are going to judge my work, but I’ll accept that I can’t control the reactions of other people—my reaction matters most
• This scene/subplot/character/etc is overwhelming me.
• I’ll take my time through this scene/chapter/subplot as more time may allow me to immerse more in the draft.
• I’ll write this scene/chapter/subplot as quickly as I can—I would like to get through this part ASAP.
• It’s okay to make mistakes in my writing.
• I’m not feeling very confident in my craft right now, but I know this will pass
• This scene might be bad, and that’s okay. Sometimes I write gems, and sometimes my writing needs a bit more work (that’s normal)
• This scene relies on [certain skill] that I’m still honing. I understand to get better at something, I have to practice and practicing requires mistakes.
• I’m not excited about this scene right now
• I had high expectations for this scene, and unfortunately, I don’t feel like I’m hitting them. However, it’s okay for expectations to change.
• I’m disappointed with how my writing is turning out. That’s normal, even though it sucks.
• I’m going to remind myself what I DO like about my writing because this feels bad, though I know this feeling won’t last forever.

Sometimes writers need to say “my writing is so bad,” and that’s fine too! Sometimes though, it’s good to note what is specifically wrong in case you need an extra boost forward! <3

I've never watched a single episode of spn but I've been thinking about the implications of being stuck inside a meme

Love Jessica Lange version of the Lana Del Rey classic and yes it's already classic.
