"Can't Wait To See Where You Take This Story" Well I Can't Wait To See Where This Story Takes Me Either

10 WRITING GOALS PICK A GOAL & PASS IT ON

Obligatory if you don't want a goal either because you don't think you'll do it or because you have one that works for you, then this post isn't for you just ignore or reblog for someone else ^_^

These range in difficulty because I wanted there to be something approachable for everyone

1: Write 200 words everyday

2: Write 400 words everyday

3: Write 500 words everyday

4: Write 50 words everyday

5: Write a sentence everyday

6: Write one paragraph everyday

7: Write a chapter every week

8: Write 1k words every week

9: Write a short story/one-shot every week

10: Write a short story/one-shot every month

I did my best w/ these, again you don't gotta do any if either these are still too big for you [I get that !!] Or if you have a bigger/smaller goal that you do that works for you [or if you simply write better when you don't have a daily/weekly/monthly goal in mind]

My personal daily goal is 200 words a day, which I've been doing the past few days successfully, but who knows if I'll be able to keep it up, but ya know - still good !!!!

me externally: lit teachers arent pulling text analysis out of their asses

me internally: the reason people and especially students like to blame English for seemingly making up meanings where they cant see it is because literature is an art and art is widely regarded as ‘easy’, ‘anyone can do that’, ‘its stupid and useless’ unlike math and science which are widely regarded as difficult but important subjects so while students will readily admit that they have trouble with math or science they’re more likely to shift the blame when they dont understand a more artistic subject, seeing it as a sign of weakness that they dont get something thats supposed to be dumb and easy rather than seeing it as an important topic that’s just as crucial to their knowledge as any stem subject and just as difficult and in-depth as any math or science can be 

hello fellow non-Black tumblr users. welcome to my saw trap. if you'd like to leave, please name one (1) Black woman author who is not Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, bell hooks, Octavia Butler, or N.K. Jemisin. bonus points if she's published a book in the last five years.

Uh hard disagree with this. Medical Student Damian Wayne would be so fucking fascinating to explore (based on his character archetype, growth and also his unusual skillset), followed by Doctor Damian Wayne (ER doc/trauma surgeon is where my money's at):

Firstly, Damian balancing the corruption of Gotham and navigating the system of medical care and the evilness/cruelties embedded and going after those is fascinating. He could solve medical cases in a House MD style fashion (without the pills) AND find organ thieves or provide evidence for serial killers to the Batfam.

Secondly, the comics themselves would be a great exploration of whether this means the Gotham Project ultimately fails to make meaningful change and whether Thomas and Leslie's less violent and community-focused treatment was a better strategy.

Thirdly, a discussion about personal freedom in the face of "destiny" and obligations to vigilantism, and also the conflict of whether Damian would want to return or not, especially because this life is all he's known.

Fourthly, I want to see Dami struggle with obeying laws that violate moral principles and balance his own way of doing things with a team he's forced to operate alongside.

The most dystopian thing you could do 7 months into a genocide is complain that a genocide is still happening—and it’s even more disgusting when it’s specifically targeted at wanting people to tag Palestinian gofundmes so you can filter them out of your dash. You’re being extremely distasteful when you demand something like that. People are dying.
