Making friends on this site be like:

I've always loved reading and horror. I'd say inspiration comes from places like Anita Blake, Supernatural, and artists online. For my current WIP, Mademoiselle Boleyn, The Tudors, and Boriga showed me how interesting court life actually was when framed with interpersonal relationships #BluePitHype

Characters NEED this kind of downtime for us to really latch onto them when there isnt this constant urgency for the plot to move forward. I love seeing characters interacting, I love seeing new sides of them come out so we can get a better understanding of them. It's NECESSARY.

The Sea in You is fucking STUNNING. The story is beautiful, but sometimes I just sit and look at the art for ages. So much love went into that book and it shines through on every single page. Pick up a copy, I promise you'll love it 💜

Post Early! Like others posts! Repost! Comment! Make Friends! Interact! Interact! Interact! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers #AmQuerying #BluePitHype

I keep hearing people thing "momento Mori" means "remember to die" Its like "remember you WILL die" or "Remember you MUST die" You don't need to remember to die. It'll happen regardless.

Take breaks. Step back from your computer/phone, do things outside of the internet. Unplug. Sitting and watching every single like or repost will just make you anxious! #BluePitHype #WriteSky
