Reasons to Keep Writing

•everyone starts small. just because you’re not big now, doesn’t mean you’ll never be. and if you’re just starting out, keep in mind those bigger blogs have been writing for much longer than you. building a following takes time. 

•there will always be someone who enjoys your writing. every like, reblog, and comment is one person who enjoyed what you wrote and i can assure you they want more! and remember, not everyone remembers to leave evidence that they liked your writing or they might just be too nervous to interact with you. invisible fans exist, and you’ve got them.

•going along with that last one, your writing has the potential to help others! you could write about a minority, or maybe you could publish a little something comforting at the exact time someone else needs it. and most of the time, when you affect someone like this they’ll tell you, whether it be through tags, or a private message or whatever. that’s an amazing feeling.

•getting a compliment from someone becomes a sure-fire way to make your day better. nothing feels greater than seeing a comment from someone saying how much they love something you worked hard on. maybe write down these comments somewhere, so you can look at them when you’re feeling negative about your skills as a writer.  

•writer’s block is not the end of your writing career. it sure feels like it sometimes, but everyone, even the popular writers you look up to, suffer from writer’s block. everyone puts out work they’re not 100% satisfied with sometimes, and that’s okay! when you get out of this slump, your writing will be better than ever before and you’ll enjoy it again. keep writing through a block so you can get there sooner.

These are the things I think about when I feel bad about my writing, so I hope they can help someone else too.

*beep beep beep*

Kaitlyn groans face first into her pillow as she blindly seeks out her ringing phone. After a few seconds of searching she finds it on the nightstand and turns off the alarm.

As she lies there, she can’t help but wonder why she tortures herself like this. Why she insists on waking up at this ungodly hour on the regular when she could be fast asleep. Fast asleep and having wonderful dreams.

Kaitlyn groans again. She rolls over and throws the blankets off herself, the cool morning air an unwelcome wake-up call. She gets herself up out of the bed taking a moment to stretch and yawn and then grabs the black shirt hanging on the back of the chair in her room.

After throwing on the shirt she makes her why out of her room and heads to the bathroom. Once done, Kaitlyn cautiously makes her way down the stairs with the sporadic yawn on the way. She enters the hall to come to the door to MC’s room.

She gently knocks on the door and slowly opens it. She peers in with sleepy eyes to find a sleeping MC. Quietly shutting the door behind her, kaitlyn walks up to the bed and proceeds to crawl onto it and over her sleeping beauty.

The previously sleeping MC stirs from the sudden movement on the bed. “You’re late, Liao.” She groggily says. MC slowly opens her eyes to see kaitlyn’s bright smile.

“Shush you, I had to make a pit stop.” Kaitlyn says.

“For coffee I hope?” MC asks. Kaitlyn’s hair, face, and eyes beautifully light up in the morning light now creeping itself in through the window.

“No coffee. But I can give you some sugar.” Kaitlyn flashes a mischievous smile and instantly begins showering MC’s face with kisses.

“Ahh!” MC squirms and giggles from the affection. Satisified, Kaitlyn stops and crawls under the covers next to MC.

They both settle into the comfort of the bed and the warmth of the rising sun. Kaitlyn snuggles up against MC wrapping her arms around her, letting herself fall into this blissful moment.

It is then that Kaitlyn is reminded why she wakes up so early on the regular. And she will continue to do so for nothing could convince her to do otherwise.

————-

I was inspired by this great piece of art and headcannon to write this little thing. I hope it was okay for me to write it. I have always enjoyed your art. Thank you so much for sharing it! 😄

Headcanon: Even tho Kaitlyn is not a morning person, she wakes up an hour earlier than she has to so she can go cuddle with her girlfriend <3 (when they don’t sleep together of course)

Good job, little rover. Good job. ;_;

The Evening Kansan-Republican, Newton, Kansas, June 19, 1911

while i get and agree with the fact that gay people should probably play gay people and gay stories are best written by gay people, the fervor to prove that “straight people shouldn’t play gay characters!!” is what the interviewer used to forcibly out lee pace so like

idk maybe slow your roll and realize that like… actors can be closeted, content creators can be closeted, and tbh this “you can only write your own experiences, never write someone else’s” rhetoric is also a bigot’s fucking wet dream?? like the perfect excuse to never write diverse characters?? and to say that they have nothing in common with people who don’t look/love/exist the same way as them??

yeah, the author of simon vs the homo sapien’s agenda is a cis straight woman, which means love, simon (though directed by a married gay man with multiple gay characters played by gay/bi actors) is based on a novel written by a straight woman… but this straight woman literally ends her book acknowledging the LGBT teens who helped her write the book and make sure she was writing it appropriately.

this is the content we want

listen… EVERY SINGLE piece of media EVER involves some level of writing about experiences that are not your own, especially if it’s diverse. even bland stories just about white people involves an author writing about genders that are not their own. if you want a story with characters of color, white authors are going to have to write about those perspectives. if you want gay characters in every story, straight authors are gonna have to write about those perspectives. even LGBT narratives might involve gay authors writing about bi characters or cis authors writing about trans characters.

what we HOPE FOR when they do that is that they talk to people… actually belonging to those groups to learn what is and isn’t appropriate and true to life. which is what the author of simon vs the homo sapien’s agenda did.

it’s exactly what she did. she literally worked in a support group for LGBT and GNC kids, saw they did not have cute love stories written for them after they told her this, and then worked with them to give them the love story they craved.

this is a good thing. this is progress for lgbt people. this is the path we need to walk towards getting LGBT content created by LGBT authors.

when you attempt to take the ~moral ground on protesting this film, all you’re doing is telling people who fund these projects that gay products don’t sell. they don’t get the nuance of what you’re going for. and, chances are, you’re looking like a fucking hypocrite, because i can promise you most of the canon gay characters you stan profit a cishet somehow (if they’re even canon).

so, y’unno, as someone who has read simon vs the homo sapien’s agenda AND seen the fucking movie let me tell you!! it’s fine!! it’s diverse beyond having gay character, it’s written respectively, and it hit home on a lot of experiences i WISH i had as a gay teen. it’s corny, it’s silly, and it’s all i ever would have wanted at 13, 14, 15

if you don’t want to see it, just fucking say so! but don’t act like you’re doing it on moral grounds. you can just… not like a movie or not want to see it without it being some moral victory.
