writing your fave having sex with with their love interest is OUT writing your fave shamefully jerking off and coming pathetically fast at just the idea of fucking their love interest is IN
Write if you can.
If you can't write: Edit.
If you can't edit: Outline.
If you can't outline: Brainstorm.
If you can't brainstorm: Rest.
Writing is many tasks. Do whichever ones you can handle and you'll still be making progress.
Sometimes knitting is making stitches and sometimes knitting is untangling yarn. They both move the project forward even though only one actually looks like progress.

“merricat is mad, a demented, solipsistic child-adult, a possibly lethal anarchic force who reacts coldly and with hostility when constance reminds her of the murder” isn’t she perfect
[new to degrading someone] I can tell that due to adverse childhood experience you're uncomfortable exercising autonomy so as an adult you find comfort in a consensual relationship dynamic with a power imbalance of some sort that puts you in a vulnerable position

I propose this year be Two thousand twenty FIX. this year we're fixing shit. If you got a problem fix it right away if you can. As soon as you notice even. Fix shit. Fix your leaky faucet. Clean your shower. Talk to your friends about that thing they do that makes you feel unloved. 202fix
What have you fixed so far this year. Let's share. I fixed my shower drain and the holes in my jeans. And my heart
i got a 100% on this bostonian-to-english quiz but i grew up near boston..... i'm curious what you guys get. there's a couple things in here i didn't even know are regionalisms + a couple things i hadn't heard before but could parse pretty easily from context. tag/reply with what you got and if you're familiar with the area or not!
#didn't know these were regionalisms? i've never heard any of these phrases in my life (via @worldwarthree)
GENUINELY before today i thought fluffernutter and american chop suey were part of National American Culture (TM). i was so puzzled by those questions that i googled both bc i was like "ohhh, this quiz maker thinks some american things aren't as widespread as they are..... they're assigning regional markers to things that aren't regional...... every american will instantly recognize these...."
and then i discovered both of these things are, in fact, particular to the new england region.
& went. What.
This summer, I will have been married to a man from Massachusetts for 25 years. You learn things.
I…know a lot of people from Boston?
My kids did better on this than they did on the Boston one. For some reason.
yaaaaaas
