Today’s writing thoughts:
- Does my use of connected metaphors look like deliberate theming or laziness?
- How and why is my writing so bloody wanky?
- It feels as though I have lived a thousand years while writing this one shot.
- Are my characters OOC in a ‘bad writing’ or ‘conscious canon divergence’ sort of way?
- Is my Tom Riddle hot or creepy or both?

FORGET ABOUT SMUT. PLEASE I AM TIRED OF IT. I NEED ANGST. I NEED GUT WRENCHING EMOTIONAL TURMOIL THAT MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH. I NEED TO BAWL JUST FROM THINKING ABOUT IT.
the time is right, your perfume fills my head
the stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue

"He could take her to places she hadn't been, and she could show him landscapes he hadn't considered, and together they could map out the whole vast world."
