love it when you’re an artist and you go to clean your room and you inevitably pull out the Box of Old Sketchbooks and you spend the next few hours lovingly flipping through each page instead of cleaning your room
what i love about being a writer is how eternal the craft is. no matter how long it’s been since you actually worked on your wip, you’re still a writer. it’s in the way your subconscious looks at nature and sees metaphors, in the way your mind predicts a plot twist and sees it coming, in the way your notes app is filled with single lines of poetry that you never went back to, in the way you always have a notebook with you even if it’s empty, in the way that you pick up pieces of history and twist them into stories in your mind without even realising it, in the constant daydreaming about a fantasy world you’ll never actually write.
being a writer isn’t just about writing, it’s a state of mind. and i think that’s really beautiful.
sometimes…giffing is personal. it’s spending hours on an edit you know will only clock fifty notes, maybe a hundred if you’re lucky, but posting anyway. because it makes you happy and you did this for yourself :+)
