Hey #writingcommunity if you’re a fan of X-men, True Blood, Lovecraft Country, Charmed, Buffy, Blade..I’m writing a ton of stuff in black sci-fi/ witchy southern gothic style worlds.

And I will forever call that story The 3 Bears and Goldilocks and not the other way around because Goldilocks was in the wrong. I’m not centering a white girl that does B&E. She can go to the back of the title 😂

The smell of a 1997 scholastic book fair would heal me

These journalists look for any and every reason to bring up Beyonce during an interview with any celeb bc I didn’t even know Teyana Taylor choreographed the Ring The Alarm music video at 15. That’s great now ask that lady some more questions about her movie she’s there to promote 🤨

One of the funniest videos still to this day is when those black folks were at Disney World and ran into either Chip or Dale idk which and was like “cause you know God is good” and he was like “all the time” but said it in the most black-person-cutting-up-at-work way . We know “us” so well 😭

I can and they are in color and when I read Legendborn I discovered I can visualize in animation as well. I had a whole art style in my head that i saw it play out in as I read it and it helped more when I heard the audiobook

Are you able to visualize images in your mind?

If you can, do you see them in color or black & white?

If you can’t, what appears in your mind (if anything) when reading fictional books/stories?

Skydiving is not wps, skydiving during an expected hurricane would be tho. Snorkeling? Not wps. Touching something on a sacred beach. Wps. Goin to the museum. Not wps. Collecting a haunted doll that all of its last owners mysteriously died once they got it in their possession. Wps.

I feel like we’re losing the plot to the definition of “wps”. It’s not being in nature. The term wps was (to me) deemed from wipipo doing something dumb in horror movie settings. It’s putting yourself in reach of danger unnecessarily. Ex. Canoeing isn’t wps but canoeing on lake Lanier is

My newest reoccurring nightmare is me being stuck in a Waymo and not knowing it’s a waymo before I get in it and suddenly I’m inside, the doors lock and I have no idea where it’s going. Quite literally rolled off the bed last night to get out of it 😩
quietblkgrl.blacksky.app
Yes, something bout writing everything down before it happens just drives me crazy and I can’t conform to it lol
quietblkgrl.blacksky.app
Cause nothing makes sense unless I read it back aloud 😭

If you have any tips for writing non linear on how you keep your ideas straight let me know. I have an outline but I don’t put everything in my outline just the basics therefore when I add new details I’m just pantsing them out

This is my first non linear story and it is beating my ass bc I literally cannot just read one section of it to make sure everything’s good I gotta start at the top and go to the bottom which means I should stop proofreading and keep going until I finish. Me and logic ain’t never been friends 😮‍💨

Who tf thought it would be okay to put KevOnStage, Ray J, Kirk Franklin, NLE Choppa and Jonathan Majors all in a room together

They were going to be there for 5 days and were willing to pay $50,000 for using the area but the board shut it down at the last minute and lied and also claimed they didn’t fill out all the paperwork for filming so this is an appropriate level of petty
quietblkgrl.blacksky.app
They originally signed a contract to film at their school and on the day of production they pulled out due to ppl in the city petitioning against the film. They claimed it and would be a distraction during midterms but it happened very last min and they ended up having to rework a new location

This reminds me of the end credits to Scream
Scream end credits reads: 

no thanks whatsoever to The Santa Rosa City School District Governing Board

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been
