So much for writing this week… I got a cold and decided I wasn’t up to joining my writing buddy for our session at fhe coffee shop this week 😭 (it is very hard for me to write without leaving the house usually)

The further I get into writing my novel the harder it is to resist the urge to start editing what I’ve already written. There are so many things I know need to be fixed to make the pacing better and the motivation of the mc stronger! I KNOW i gotta keep going to finish what I know will change 😭

❛ A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight... Ursula K. Le Guin, born #OTD in 1929.

Finally getting back into the writing routine after being too busy the last couple of weeks. I wish it was easier to get myself to write in the comfort of my own home.

For National Poetry Day, one of my dearest poems on the Orpheus and Eurydice story. Rilke's Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes. Tr. Stephen Mitchell. This is one of the rawest depictions on facing your lost love. She was already loosened like long hair, poured out like fallen rain She was already root.

a mermaid with a pink tail resting on a rock and leaning back on her hands as her tail comes out of the water. In the background is a lagoon and some cliffs and further back the hint of a waterfall

a precarious tall hill with a wizard's house sitting on top of it with a wisp of smoke coming out of the chimney. It is dusk and all the windows are yellow with the light from inside.

Just hit 50k on my WIP!! 🎉 Its a word count goal I’ve never been able to hit on single project before. I’m incredibly proud of myself for persisting and not falling into the trap of second-guessing everything and immediately re-writing the beginning a thousand times.

Every time I see a book with a similar idea to what I’m writing I have to remind myself that there’s no way that someone else would be able to stumble onto the *exact* same unhinged combination of ideas. I done even know how I got here.

Omg I loved the new Superman so much!! Incredibly well written with so much goofy, yet realistic dialogue, compelling character moments even with minor characters, and just all of the best parts of Superman and his universe in general.

I am coping with all the bad by rediscovering escapism. Writing fantasy and trying to feel whimsy and hope despite everything. At the very least I can make something else that will make them mad…

Writers, what details do you care way too much about including and properly describing despite knowing it doesn’t matter? For me, its clothes/“character design.” I need to know exactly what every character is wearing/looks like, and probably linger on those descriptions too long on the page…

I’ve been going to a cafe and writing with a good friend of mine a couple of days this past week and I’m baffled by how quickly the words are happening. The first it was like 700 words, then 800, and then yesterday I banged out 1,500 like it was nothing in the same time span??

I find it funny how much research I’ll do sometimes for writing projects that really don’t need it. Spent hours looking through women’s magazines from 1900 the other day just to…absorb the vibes I guess??

Because maybe you need this poem as much as I do.

The Thing Is
BY ELLEN BASS

to love life, to love it even
when you have no stomach for it
and everything you’ve held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,
your throat filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weights you down like your own flesh
only more of it, an obesity of grief,
you think, How can a body withstand this?
Then you hold life like a face
between your palms, a plain face,
no charming smile, no violet eyes,
and you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you, again.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

I didn’t realize how perfectionism is a form of rigid thinking and how common it is w/autistic folks until a therapy session a few months ago. Now I’m very aware of the walls that guide my thoughts, but I keep bouncing off of them whenever I try to allow my writing to be imperfect.

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.
