how do I fit my big emotions in the little words that I say before you?

Average dark academia reader be like yes I'm gonna ignore the obvious point of the book (warning against elitism and living in a fantasy) and romanticise my way out of everything until i find my own group of pretentious friends. What are you gonna do, stop me??

I feel like a lot of writers don’t talk about academic writing burnout. Like….have I been writing? Yes, I have. Pages and pages. More than I’ve ever written.

But I haven’t written anything creative in weeks. My precious book wip collects dust because I cannot bring myself to write more than I already have. It’s an exhausting tug of war between feeling productive and feeling like you haven’t made any progress.

you ever accidentally create a recurring theme in your writing. you start putting together an outline for something you’ve never written before and get partway through planning, rearrange the pieces, and go “GODDAMMIT THIS IS ABOUT GRIEF AGAIN”? because let me tell you,

I saw you like Evelyn Hugo and Hozier and I've just gotta ask you: have you heard of Burn the House Down by Kenna Jenkins? It's an fictional biography/memoir abt the 1st woman president and her secret sapphic relationship/bearded marriage with her mlm best friend ala Evelyn Hugo and has massive Hozier vibes (especially Nina Cried Power, Arsonist's Lullaby, The Wages, Better Love, Moment's Silence, and Nobody). It also has a subplot about arson at the White House, a pro-choice subplot with strong Swan Upon Leda energy, and ft. an entirely queer main cast and really fleshed out characters!
