i can't, help me // more writing rants

So, if you've read my last blog, you'll know about the whole writing thing, and the $100 bucks and everything.

I agreed. Because I want the money. Sue me.

And I'm a writer, I can just cough up some 10-chaptered 12,000 worded story right up, can't I? It can be shitty, I shouldn't care; good book, bad book, I get the $100 all the same. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

But noooo, apparently, I can't. I can't just write a shitty book. I mean, yeah, it's underdeveloped and shit, but I'm pretty sure all writers agree, when y'all start writing a book, creating them universes, and also all those little characters, they start doing crazy things all on their own. It's not just me, right?

I just can't. Once, my English teacher told me to leave a piece of me in everything that I do, and that I do everything with passion. And I do, I really do. So, I can't just write something without putting passion into it. I'm a huge believe or doing what you love, loving what you do. So, you might get thrown into something you don't really want to do. If you don't wanna to it, don't do it, but if you go through with it, do it with your heart (or don't do it at all).

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 


So, anyways, I've been writing, trying to polish everything up. I'm excited, kind of. It feels like a job, albeit it being a sort of shitty job. Pays the bills and everything. I'm kidding. I rip off my parents, professionally.

I'm currently on chapter 4. It's a short story, so I'm glad that it isn't a full-blown 100,000 word thing, which, well, will take an extremely long time, because I procrastinate and wonder if everything is worth it, if I'm worth it, and then I get back on track and realize, hell yeah, I love writing, then read said writing, then realize it's utter shit and thus have to go and edit it, which brings me back to feeling all kinds of stuff. Vicious cycle, it sure is.

Anyways, I wanted to share this tumblr post I found on instagram (I is on all the social mediums as kky_claud). Essentially, it's a post about the Hogswarts houses as writers, and I'm a proud Hufflepuff, and honestly, it is so spot on. Here's the link to that post...

But, in case you're too lazy to read it, here is the Hufflepuff house as writers.

And, like, it's kind of true? I love writing YA, and I enjoy making sure my audience gets me (I strongly dislike using purple prose and instead try and make stories intricate by using normal words in new ways), hella like con-crit a lot, so if you have any comments to help me improve, holler at me, and everything is a piece of me, I try to put myself in my stories. :')

Anyways, that's pretty much everything I wanted to say. That I love writing and also I'm a hufflepuff and proud.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
