describing emotions in writing is either “he felt sad” or a two-paragraph dissertation on how his soul crumpled like wet newspaper under the weight of his own existence. no in-between.
Writing Prompt #3
A character is trying to call their best friend over with increasingly absurd nicknames.
Hello! Uh, I have a character who's kind of co-dependent on their partner but, I'm not sure how to show it in my writing. Do you have any suggestions for signs of co-dependency?
Hi :)
always waiting for the other person before doing anything
not recognizing each other's boundaries and not enforcing boundaries
having low self-esteem
feeling the need to be of service to the other person
struggling with their self-image and self-worth
making excuses for their partner
being self-sacrificing
needing their partner's approval
avoiding conflict, taking on blame
failing at proper communication
minimizing or ignoring their own wants
doing things to make their partner happy
asking for permission
fear of rejection or abandonment
guilt over doing something "selfish" (for themself)
making themself uncomfortable for other's comfort
Hope this helps!

I won’t say it wasn’t meant to be, because it was. We were. Only for a short while, maybe. But we were.

Mine came from the fact that I am short, an infj, and… was honestly looking for some kind of vibe. The word cafe seemed to fit. Also my moot in here helped me set up my account, so she had a little say, too.
No pressure, @chaiandpages @axtnoi-i @castorbit @hoardingwritinginspo
Tag your moots and ask them where they got the idea for their tumblr accounts name!
For my name it was a nickname I was giving back in middleschool! One of our teacher had a system where we worked with 'wifi' eachtime we talked in class we lost a bar of the "wifi" (was a weird joke and we never held count on that) All the kids usually joked if they needed 'wifi' , they would borrow mine if they wanted to talk more. (I was incredibly shy in middle school, I only talked to like 3 people at school;^;)
They called me Ms. Wifi because of that. I just thought it would be funny if I put 'miss' instead of 'ms' because of my terrible actual wifi connection I have at home lol.
That's my story! Now moots, only if you guys want to, tell us your story.

we absolutely should. it would be very platonically romantic. speaking of which, I'm driving @chaiandpages absolutely insane with the platonic writing I'm doing because I'm a romance writer and now I'm writing a 100 percent platonic relationship but they're pretending they're dating to get this dude to fuck off and its perhaps the best romantic banter I've ever written???? anyway hi
i should be banned from posting after 10pm. bad things happen in the evening when i am given free reign of the tumblr. Doing psychological warfare on my mutuals enjoy the mess that is. Me.
