some of you girlies here need this
writing a novel is going to be difficult -> you’re capable of writing a novel -> you’ve done the outline and maybe even a few drafts -> finishing this will be proof of your capability
this was meant to be a reminder for myself & ended up being my most popular post on tumblr lol

To those saying “your book is probably bad” or “I find passive characters boring in x genre”
You do realise…you’re falling into the exact same trap I mentioned right…? 😭
different cultures tell different types of stories…it’s this very issue that keeps bipoc out of publishing

Sometimes I get scared and hesitate sending a query to an agent because I think “what if they reject me?”
Which is honestly so stupid bc by withholding it I reduce my chances of getting a full (offer even?) to 0, whereas if I actually send a goddamn query I might stand a chance-

I think it’s SO SEXY when two people hate each other to death, but their relationship progresses into a begrudging respect and a grey middle ground where one is able to say “Tell me when you want to die, ok? I’ll go with you, because hell is too cold for just one of us.”
