(If you write for multiple of these, just pick the one you write for the most)
Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
I wish all my writers a happy new year. May all your stories finally be written, sentences be completed, emotions be evoked with beautifully crafted words, readers be moved to tears, the urge to create be satisfied.
if anyone needs me. i will be in the corner. contemplating the characters
the first rule of writing is that there are no rules. the second rule is to save your work every 5 minutes because technology is a fickle god.
ehdotus: vuorokauteen on lisättävä yks tunti lisää ja sitten voin käyttää sen kirjojen lukemiseen
it's actually crazy that hearing the bridge of a single orchestral song cover will make you want to write a seven-book fantasy series
Tää kohtaus on kristallinkirkas mun päässä miKS MÄ EN OSAA KIRJOTTAA SITÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Kirjasta Kissojen maailmanhistoria - Petri Pietiläinen
not writing, not not writing, but a secret third thing
do you ever re-read your own wips like 'damn the bitch that wrote this oughta finish it'
"How do you read so many books??" I am simply trying to avoid reality, what are you doing
Suomalaista kirjakulttuuria on se, että jos on lukenut kirjasarjan kerran suomeksi, se on pakko lukea uudestaan englanniksi
Ps: Jätin omistamani kirjan kesken, lainasin sen uudestaan englanniksi ja luin sen loppuun päivässä
Muunmuassa tästä syystä kirjoitan salanimellä. Mutta äitini on älykäs. Kun olin lapsi, hän löysi jokaisen tavaran jonka väitin kadonneen - joten luultavasti hän löytää myös minut.
The more finnish literature I read the more convinced I am that all of it could fit into two cathegories:
Absolute trauma (likely linked to sex one way or another) that will grab your eyeballs and will not let go until you’ve read it (stuff by Johanna Sinisalo, Katja Kettu, Sofi Oksanen, Mika Waltari, Laulu tulipunaisesta kukasta) or silly blorbos going on feel-good adventures (stuff by Arto Paasilinna, Tatu & Patu, Moomins, Seitsemän veljestä (at least a third of the way in)) and then there’s stuff smack in the middle (Kalevala).
Onkohan Tumblrissa ketään suomalaisia kirjailijoita
Characters are like people, they wonder what kind of crap fucked them up but it's almost always the parents.
Being ace in fandoms is so awkward sometimes because yeah the allos like the irredeemably evil villain who has murdered countless innocent people and experiments on children because he's conventionally attractive, what's my excuse? I like this guy for his personality. His personality is a burning truck of chemicals without a driver rolling at 220 km/h down the hill towards the daycare.
Look me in the eye and tell me writing is easy. Look me in fucking eye and tell me writing isn’t the most Sisyphean self-assigned task known to man short of rolling a boulder up a hill for all eternity.
I'm sorry but I have one draft that I never finished but I laugh every time I see it
