Idk who we need to talk to about this BUT DO NOT cast any Black. people in Harry Potter that was not Black previously.

Just saw a post on FB where people are in the comments foaming at the mouth of the prospect of a black man playing Severus Snape.

What’s the opposite of writers block?

I referred to it as a writers high on TT but anyway, it’s very exhilarating being able to write after a small slump of being uninspired.

Those highs when your eyes start to sting because the sun has set hours ago but you’ve been too focused on your laptop.
