Hi guys, okay new to Tumblr and trying to locate the amazing community of authors and artists I heard so much about in here!

A little about myself.

I’m from Denmark and am writing my first book called “the truth about hell” I am self taught in English so has a long way to go with editing and rewriting but that’s part of writing am I right?

I am also avid reader and love art. I have a whole library at home as my friends call it, due to collecting books since I was a preteen. I also is a huge fan of anime, though in the later years have falled a little off the vagon but wanna try and get back into it! I would love to find others that has some of the same interests as me and it seems like they’re is some amazing ppl in here that have just that! If anyone is interested in fangirling over series like supernatural, Sherlock Holmes and marvel or the likes or even books I am down! Or heck even talk about the book they’re written or have already written!

I don’t think I was meant for this world. I feel so disconnected from everything. The world is so fuzzy and loud and overwhelming. My body doesn’t fit into the space it has been given. Everything I do feels unnatural - my words, my movements, every decision I make feels wrong. Like I’m an actor in a play but wasn’t given the script. Everyone around me seems to have this top secret script. I remember they made the world feel right. He made the world feel safe and quiet, and being held by him was the first time everything felt right. But he left. And I’m still here, unsure of how I’m supposed to fit into a world that doesn’t seem to want me around.

On the good days, missing you is a warm breeze. I close my eyes and bask in the comfort of what once was, what could have been. I think of your eyes and the way they softened when you spoke to me. I think of your voice and the way it wrapped itself around my name so perfectly. On the good days, missing you is warmth and nostalgia and comfort. On the good days, I can miss you without feeling like my world is crashing.

On the bad days, missing you is drowning. My lungs burn as I gasp for air but they fill with water. I replay every moment in my head over and over again. The moment I saw you give up on us — give up on me. The moment you told me I was wonderful in the same breath you shattered me. The moment you looked at me and your eyes told me everything you never did - the moment your eyes stopped being happy to see me. I am stuck in this constant loop of reliving the moment before the storm, the moment before you left me shattered on the pavement. On the bad days, I remember that you’re probably better off — happier — without me. I am not someone people miss; I am not someone people regret walking away from.

i wonder if you ever think of me - unsent messages 2.0 (1/?) by (ds)

Developing your character’s mindset with a legit psychology theory

You have your characters, you’ve filled out your character sheets, but somehow - they don’t feel real. There’s *something* missing. So, using a really popular psychology theory from a book whose name I forgot - which basically says the brain is divided into 3 sections - The Parent, The Adult, and The Child.

#1. The Parent

The Parent part of your character’s mind is quite literally the voice of their parents or those who raised them - it is the firm set of ideals, thinking and innate personality - that is quite literally driven into their core. The Parent usually doesn’t change, it’s a constant reminder of who your character is, and what dictates a part of their actions.A character whose been raised vegetarian has their vegetarianism ingrained in their Parent so it’s unlikely they will ever compromise on that ideal. Likewise,an “evil” character’s Parent would probably say that murder is a-okay because that’s what they’ve been raised to believe.

#2. The Adult

The Adult is the part of your character that’s changing, growing and actively making decisions by taking in the world around them. It’s the part of their mind that’s unsure, something that makes decisions based not only on the Parent’s ideals, but also the world around them, the people and the current situation. In essence, it’s the way in which your character reacts, and the manner in which they will change over the course of the story. The Adult also determines how much of the Parent and how much of The Child controls their everyday life.

#3. The Child

The Child is the part of your brain that is emotion. It’s the part that’s immature, irrational, and still deeply affected by their past and trauma (if any) The Child shows their past, and the depth of their compassion, empathy, and love for others.

The ratio of how much of the Parent/Adult/Child your character is depends on them - a kinder, soft character probably has more Child than Parent, and vice versa! Also, please don’t quote me on this psychology theory - I only know it in brief
