Full believer in the absolute comfort of dystopia when the world itself seems overbrimming with toxicity. Absolutely faithful to the truth that spreading stories of our survival is a radical act.

Keep writing ✍️

Literally forgot to add that I add a dystopian setting. That is how much of a default it is for me lol

Me: im gonna write a super chill, relaxing romance
Me: *adds themes of colonialsm, an absolute web of a timeline, and trauma recovery storylines. Probably also aliens*
Me: *adds happy ending*
Me: yay I did it

Keep It Up, Mama Daily writing prompt What is your favorite drink? View all responses She was calm, she was kind, and she was here to remove our daughter from our home. I knew that before she arrived, before anyone had told me. I'd known that in the hospital when I AMA'd, and I'd known that when I arrived home and husband was cleaning, his face a hard surface of rage and fear.

At least its not redbull lol

Eyyy everyone's process is different lol!

Also helps (or doesnt help? Depends on who you ask) that I hyper focus like a mf and neglect all other duties while drafting. Like. You should NOT see my house right now.

Before I forced myself to ignore all errors while drafting I rarely finished anything, for context. Since forcing myself to do this ive completed three novellas, two novels, and 100k+ words of fanfic in like, the past like four ish years. Soooo its working out for me idk

HA real af. I really dont have an answer beyond that I file it internally as a Future Holly problem? Like. If I start correcting ANY errors, I wont even finish the scene I'm writing. Sooo yah can't stop wont stop ahahaa

Finally at a point with this puppy where I #wipsnips have a chance of showing up in a healthy way lol

Fucking the Duh Daily writing prompt Write about your approach to budgeting. View all responses I got into AP physics senior year of high school because I had received near-perfect grades in advanced biology and chemistry in junior and senior year, as well as become an active member of the astronomy club on the side. Mostly that last bit, really. The fact that the telescope had been broken for a long time and the Astronomy club was mostly just a secluded room with a disgusting couch (you know why) and an omnipresent weed smell mattered little.

Its like when I get mail that starts "because of your excellent credit history"

a woman in a video game is saying `` pretend you don t know this about me . '' ALT: a woman in a video game is saying `` pretend you don t know this about me . ''

The intent? play a character to romance each
the result? stop on Cassandra. Replay qunari mage named Arthur and romance Cassandra three more times. Yup.

Also, when it comes to the word 'female,' yeah, I also cringe. That being said - we're a worldwide marginalized community coming from different vernacular cultures. When this kind of hurt crops up, this should spur a conversation, not a take-down of one of our own.

Hypervigilance over queer media within the queer community is a common thing. I get where it comes from, but still frustrating to see.

Calling out the real enemies might feel like shouting into a void, but we're all less effective when our energies are spent lashing inwards.

My dude it has been a Game Changer

Neuter the President, Why Don’t We Daily writing prompt If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? View all responses Technically, it's three. But they are related. So first of all, scratch all of this. Maybe not the last one. Even that is iffy, though. Right out the gate, I want to make it a requirement that anyone considering the office must not own any land or home, must not have more than $100 to their name at any given point after declaring intent, and that their intent must be declared a minimum of two years in advance.

Why Not Meth Daily writing prompt You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do? View all responses You've always treated my sobriety as a delicate thing, and I suppose I've earned that. More than anyone, you saw how often it crumbled in the beginning. That was because you're you, though, and I knew you wouldn't use it against me unless you had to.

Sometimes cozy doesn't feel possible. The fear's too real and present. Affirmations and cozy both work for some folks, and that's great. But for some other folks, you gotta start with something that feels inevitable, first. Then, play it through. Tell the story of how you survived. (4/4)

Lots of therapies (pretty much all the ones I was actually trained in) suggested "letting the thought pass by," something that sounds kind, but can feel dismissive to folks still close to their trauma. So instead, I'd have us say what happened next. Together, we would tell how they survived. (3/4)

It was basically a dystopian storytelling game! Just, one that required a happy ending. We'd start with taking on the biggest fear. Could be as intimate as someone's family dying, could be as huge as nuclear war. Then, we'd play the whole thing through. (2/?)

When I was a cps, one thing I learned quick from the kids I worked with was that affirmations felt like lies for many folks working through some trauma recovery. So I made a game out of what comforted me, someone else for whom affirmations never worked. I called it "playing it through" (1/?)
