attempted murder is a form of intimacy by the way . don't listen to people who tell you different
the problem with making competent characters is you have to eventually show them being competent, and unfortunately my brain doesn’t work that way.
ever have a blorbo live in your brain for so long they become their own blorbo variant that’s no longer fully attached to their source material and your original blorbo is still beloved and dear to you but now you also have a mutant blorbo clone who is dear to you in a different way?
worldbuilding is what writers do when they want to justify a petty aesthetic choice
the best feeling is reading through your draft and thinking “you know, this is actually kinda good”
One thing I genuinely like about writing, is how the story unfolds as you write it. You may start with a general idea, but little did you know that something you put in the story would become a major symbol, or that two characters would grow as close as they did, or that apparently you need a scene between Character A and Character C…
I just love how the story grows under your fingers, and becomes something beyond what you first imagined.
