Fanfiction is NOT weird.
It can be a safe space to explore how your favorite characters… or those special someone’s in your life.. would fare in an alternate universe, catered to your own fantasies.
Don’t let that shit bottle up inside.
Even better, share them with the world!

Revert back to your writing style at age 14 for just a few pages. Write it cheesy, predictable, and full of the usual tropes. I don't know why this helps get the ideas flowing again for whatever big story you are trying to write, but it is probably the best writing exercise in my arsenal. It gets the creativity flowing again.

there is something deeply cleansing about writing in the midst of a psychotic episode. ripping at the frayed seams of my brain feels generative. it is generative—something is created.
tips if you are interested in trying this:
1. do not reread as you go. that is something called ruminating and it is not the same as writing.
2. learn to identify what can be rehabilitated and what should be gratefully acknowledged and then discarded. don’t force your thoughts to stand the test of time.
3. do not write within the horrors if it can be avoided. let them stay beside you. they can watch and listen as you reach for something more.
4. remember to eat periodically.
5. you don’t have to polish to a shine before sharing unless you want to. but know that you are not holding a masterpiece. that is fine. you are holding something, and it fits within your palms.
