What’s becoming very apparent to me is that I’m too concerned about word count and I’m writing minimally which is working against this manuscript

I’ve realized something: I’m better at fixing things than I am at creating them. This is good news, though. It means I need to create my WIP so I can fix it. #writingcommunity

She's gone.

Someone took her.

She was trying to tell me something and if I just LISTENED to her instead of getting angry then she'd still be here.

Now I have to find her.

OUTLANDER X POTC

Looking for woman to join me on my pirate ship in my life of crime.

Loves the sea, coffee & thieving. Yes, I know I'm handsome.

Don't mind the psycho who's stalking me. I'm sure we can make things work with a third wheel.

All I asked was for my sister to give me some time to get stuff sorted. Could she do that? NO. So now she's hiding in the woods stirring up trouble and either I bring her in or we're both going down. AITA? Frozen x Xena

A comic on yellow-lined paper with a stick figure horse and a stick figure woman holding a bottle labeled XXX (implying alcohol) and she has bubbles around her head to imply that she is intoxicated. Horse: Are you moping about Unhinged Pit? At least you got your own pitch! idis: Bad choices are part of my arc. (The horse drinks from the bottle) Horse (with bubbles around his head to indicate that he's intoxicated): There. Now it's part of my arc too! Idis (smiling): You forgot that we already drink together in the book. Not demure! Horse (angry): At least tell me who Morgan Freeman Is! Idis: Not you! (Horse looking angry) Idis: He's a treasure, Quinn. Like you. Horse: Go home. You're drunk. Idis (smiling and now holding two bottles of alcohol): Treasure!

I know authors need to have tough skin, but was it really necessary for my characters to leave these one star reviews on goodreads?!

#UnhingedPit #YA #F #R #LGBT #W
A fake one star goodreads review from Princess Mira: You guys know I’m a fan of sapphic besties to lovers, but the constant pining between the two princesses was sooooo frustrating. After the millionth stolen glance and billionth moment of OBVIOUS flirting I wanted to bang my head off the castle walls. And the way they both keep trying to deny it? Like come on! YOU’RE CLEARLY IN LOVE. JUST KISS ALREADY!!! #the-closet-is-made-of-glass #you-arent-fooling-anyone #good-for-them-tho A fake one-star goodreads review from Princess Dorothea: Loved the treasure hunt. Loved the thing with the mermaids. Honestly, I didn’t even mind the redhead character being the feisty one. But do you have ANY idea how expensive first class tickets to The Bahamas are right now? I thought it was safe to read this with my gf because, yanno, it’s FANTASY, but the setting is clearly influenced by some beautiful tropical island and now she wants to go. I may be a princess, but I’m not MADE of money, people! Spirit it is (and I’m NOT talking about the ghost pirate). #spoiled-gf #love-her A fake one-star goodreads review from Captain Amir: First things first: 100-year-old pirates CAN use goodreads, okay? The best character is stuck inside the head of a teenage princess almost the whole time. “But what about the life lessons?” NO. What about how annoying it is that the pirate captain’s curse gets broken in the most infuriating how-did-I-miss-this way? Let’s focus on THAT. I bet my first mate that I could solve the stupid riddle before him and I will be seeking damages for the rum I lost. #rumnearme #heysirigooglerum #whatthe A fake one-star goodreads review from John: I liked this story but my best friend Mira told me to give it one star. #biodiversity #its-actually-really-good #sorry There are three comments:  Captain Amir says: Are you kidding me? Did you learn NOTHING from the fisherman's son's character arc? Princess Mira says: shut up Amir !! love u John <3 Princess Dorothea says: lmao classic

AITA? Like, yeah, I got my best friend's TikTok banned but only because he deserved it. And I got my teammate kicked off the swim team because he deserved that too. And you know what I'm doing that they aren't? Looking for the MISSING GIRL. Would an asshole do that?

Longing to get away from a bad job? Trying to forgive yourself for the lives you unwittingly destroyed? Haunted by your former best friend/unrequited lover you abandoned?

We offer this kind advice: Go To Hell.

We’re hiring.

They are holding hands. 3 - A puppet about to have it's strings cut. 4 - An angel with a glowing orange halo casting him in a red light. 5 - A lit lighter being held in a man's hand. 6 - A businessman with steepled fingers. 7 - A weeping man is crouched in a tunnel hiding from the light. 8 - A businessman stares at his shadow which has horns and a tail. 9 - Sand running through a person's fingers.
