Ok Just Figured It Out: I'm Hearing Tchaikovsky From Now On

Perfect!!

Full offense but your writing style is for you and nobody else. Use the words you want to use; play with language, experiment, use said, use adverbs, use “unrealistic” writing patterns, slap words you don’t even know are words on the page. Language is a sandbox and you, as the author, are at liberty to shape it however you wish. Build castles. Build a hovel. Build a mountain on a mountain or make a tiny cottage on a hill. Whatever it is you want to do. Write.

Omg I'm here wanting to cry. Why? Because I'm hearing lo-fi & eating nutella. Somehow that's cry-inducing to me now.

And you can't even say that it must be 'that time of the month' cuz I'm not a woman, technically. What's wrong with me. WHY does lo-fi makes me want to cry. What do I even hear if not lo-fi to relax?? I tried 3daysgrace, for hours, then Bullet for my Valentine, then back to 3daysgrace, now I got no idea what to listen to. Also, I have to work, so I can't just go home and bury myself in a tower of blankets like I'm rebuilding Babel.

Never gonna hear lo-fi again.

(Make a bet on how long it takes for me to listen to it again.)

My first completed book

I've been writing since I was 6 years old. As in, actually trying to finish a book.

I never could.

Until one day, years ago, I finished one.

It was all about old Brazilian tales. Awesome stuff, right?

Well, I managed to make the worst job possible ever uper duper no.

It taught me ~so much~

And it made me see that your first book, most of the time, really will be trash.

If yours wasn't, more power to you. But mine certainly was

Maybe one day I'll go over it again and rewrite every little damn thing.

But the overall lesson?

I suck at writing in Portuguese.

My other language, Spanish, well... a complete disaster (don't even ask).

And English? Ok, I can have bad wording and a ton of mistakes and such, but I do find it way more fun to write. I think it does have something to do with the fact that I've been using more English than any other language since 2011, I think. As in, I didn't read a single fiction book (for leisure) in another language since 2010.

(I admit I struggle to read good fiction books in Portuguese now.)

What does that make me? A language nomad? A freak accident? Both of those things?

There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.

Letter to my young self

I saw someone doing this and I thought, what about me? How would I write it?

And then I realized I'd only write,

"Don't die."

Just that.

That would leave my younger self wondering, "wtf will happen that makes my older self say this???"

And really, that's all I needed to hear. Not fake words. Not fake touches.

Just a steady, linger a bit more.

Couldn't write anything with my damned and awful sound system. It just refused to work properly. I had to buy a new sound box and now I'm hearing "Control" by Halsey. Thank goodness yodo yodo I'd actually go crazy without proper music

A must-see for all writers

I'm watching this christian video and...

...I'm having trouble finding the right verse? Because this person is going on and on about Bible verses on how to be a good wife for her husband, but for some reason, I can't find the verses about being a good husband to your husband. is there a Bible-Part 2 I didn't see/buy in the bookstore?
