#writing is hard

hello, yes, I am the idiot who thought she’d be fine writing a presumed major character death fic (because it’s one of the all-time favorite tropes) but now has pavlov trained herself into full-on waterworks every time I even just open the word document, because? it hurts? so much? xDD

I had my eyes on making everyone else cry with the angst and kinda forgot that I TOO would have to get through the angst and I’d have to really sink into it to write it and HOLY FUCKING SHIT did I not think this through xDD

anyways send tissues and chocolate, please xDDD

here is a super helpful website for this kinda thing!

the first result isn’t always the one you’re looking for but when you press enter it’ll give you a ton of words related to your query that’ll probably have what you’re wanting, or something better

here’s some examples:

‘the point of fiction is to build the world we want to see!’ respectfully. No It Is Not.

the point of fiction is to make up some guys and then be like “wouldn’t it be fucked up if this happened to them?”

the purpose of fiction is to do this

do you ever read fanfiction so good you wish it was a book that you could buy and put on some shelf in your bedroom and gaze at sometimes and remember how amazing that motherfucker was instead of having to squint at it on your too bright phone screen at 3 am

That’s what Lulu is for folks!!! Make your own fanfic-book! For cheap! It’s quite easy once you get the hang of it!

It

Is

So easy

(even easier if you don’t bother doing personalized covers like me but I wanted it to look realistic)

Ooohhh@epicstuckyficrecs those are gorgeous! ❤️ I only got the one done so far but I’m so pleased with it and will definitey get a few more!

Modern media and technology is SO FREAKING AWESOME!

Thanks for the info!

Apparently this is something I’m going to be doing now too

I’ve done this for three of my fics (Remember I Loved You, Swallow your Soul and Nothing Burns like the Cold) and it’s ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

I know @thepoolofthedead ’s dog ate up their edition of Swallow Your Soul too!

Yall need to be doing this!

whoa. I definitely need to look into doing this with some of my fave long fics. Maybe when I finish writing this last installment of my Wordsmith verse, I’ll even do it with that!

ok, 1) this is super cool! 2) this is Not Terribly Expensive. like $10 for a 400 page paperback book 

The only question is: where am I going to start???

@itssmallerontheoutside-13@jerkbitchidjitassbutt@muggleishly but should I?

I’ve always been tempted by this. What series should I do?

I’m gonna need all my fave authors to do this! Like. Right now. I need my library!!

Publicly apologizing in advance to @silver9mm because in no fucking way is the English I am using in this vampire fic I am writing even CLOSE to actual English
