That moment when your characters are becoming sentient and so independent that you’re nothing sure if the ideas are yours or your characters’.

writingmyselfintoanearlygrave:

MOOD.

I swear to god, I show the characters the chapter outline and say, “okay now do this.”

And those fuckers just go, “Nah, nah… We’re gonna do this instead.”

And suddenly the whole story has changed??? Control is an illusion.

Wasuremono: forgotten or lost things; an item left behind somewhere or forgotten at home ::

“You
will not join her,” he breathes decidedly in the space between them.  The space that is slowly closing.  This is him not pretending anymore.”

–  Hyuuga Hinata.  Uchiha Sasuke.  Just outside their windowsill, heartbreak
still hangs heavy.

Hinata
doesn’t close her windows in winter.

           “You can smell the snow, you know,”
she says, fingers curling around her tea cup, nose red and runny.  She sniffles, staring down into her cup.  She swirls the tea slowly, grazing the cup’s edge
with every rock of her wrists, but never really going over.

           “You can’t smell snow, Hinata.”  He frowns at her across the table.  

           She doesn’t lift her gaze.  “Maybe you
can’t,” she teases.  And then she
sneezes.

           Sasuke leans over and pulls the
blanket draping her closer around her neck.
It’s a pointless thing to argue, anyway.

           She sneezes again.

           “You’re being impractical.”

           Her swirling stops.

           “It smells like Hanabi’s kimonos,”
she whispers suddenly.  “Like her hands.”  Hinata’s brows furrow.  “Like her kunais.”

           Sasuke watches her from across the
table.  He doesn’t imagine he’ll ever be
able to understand what it is to have a sister.

           Even more so, what it is to have a
dead one.

           But he still leaves his window open
that night.

           (Itachi never smelled of snow
anyway.)

sagefic:

sometimes when someone comments on your fanfic, it’s like those randomly-occurring emergency heal spells that bring you back up to full health when you’re about to die. like i was struggling to write today but someone out of nowhere left a comment and HELLO! THANK YOU! i am back and a writer again.

Lolololol thats exactly how it goes

thetravelerscompanion:

You know what’s infuriating?

Not writer’s block, but segment block.

It’s when you know what comes before and after, but can’t for the life of you figure out how to write the middle bits.

Can you just… connect already?

This is the current circle of hell i live in. Hnnggg…..
