Yk What’s Crazy Is Before I Found My Love For Writing Again, I Used To Read Books (romance Books Specifically)

insane to think there was a time in my life where my characters didn’t reside in my head 24/7

i love when i write out a scene idea (with plans to incorporate it into the storyline) and then i sit at my computer desk to do just that and my characters are just like:

“nah, we’ll take it from here tyvm.”

and i’m just like: oh ok! yes chef🫡

i can’t tell you how many “deleted scenes” i have in my notes app because my characters love to take the wheel from me🙄

is it bad that one of my favorite characters i’ve written so far just so happens to be one of the most “villainous”?

i use quotations because she’s not necessarily a bad person, she’s just made a lot of awful choices that have led to awful circumstances for her and those around her.

she’s also someone who’s been through a lot. she has a good heart through and through, but i can definitely see some readers disliking her, which is fine!

it’s exactly what i want, actually. i want her to be a character people have mixed feelings about. i want her to be a character you either hate to love, love to hate, or somewhere in between.

funniest part is she was only supposed to be a side character aka the mother of one of my character’s😭

now she’s become my little phoenix rising from the ashes as the catalyst for the biggest scandal in my book series.

the main character before my current main character was the main character. she paved the way fr i cannot wait to write her prologue book one day!

ttpd and red both being messy and drawn out but quintessential displays of taylor’s penmanship too powerful for the world to understand i see the vision

it’s hard being the daughter of a narcissistic father but i make it work! (i’m hanging on by a thread)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHARACTERS ARE ALLOWED TO BE SHITTY. THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BE BAD PEOPLE. THEY ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE BAD OPINIONS AND EVENTUALLY REALISE THAT THEY'RE WRONG AND TRY TO CORRECT THEMSELVES. CHARACTERS OPINIONS ARE NOT A REFLECTION OF THE WRITERS OPINIONS. I BEG OF YA'LL. LEARN BASIC STORY TELLING TECHNIQUES. CHARACTERS ARE ALLOWED TO BE FLAWED WITHOUT BEING 100% A TERRIBLE PERSON. BECAUSE. THATS JUST HOW PEOPLE ARE IN REAL LIFE.

me being so excited to *finally* be over this guy i’ve had feelings for for years only to develop a new crush within the next two business days is unfortunately so on brand for me😁…🫠 (my daddy issues are showing)

happy valentine’s day!!!!!!!!!!!!????<3

dad just sarcastically told me he hopes i become a millionaire from my books because i’ve been working on them “forever” so i decided i have to now just to prove him wrong ᡣ𐭩 •｡ꪆৎ ˚⋅

does anyone have any tips or ideas for getting your writing out there? pls & thx it’s rough in these indie author streets🙏
